Jaqen H'ghar
In "Game of Thrones," Jaqen H'ghar, the enigmatic faceless man, challenges conventional norms with his striking appearance. However, when portrayed by Tom Wlaschiha in the show, they opt for a more subtle approach, giving him only a small white patch as a distinctive feature, departing from the half-red, half-white hair described in George R. R. Martin's books. Interestingly, in the book series, when Arya encounters Jaqen, she strangely recalls Syrio Forel, her former sword-fighting instructor. This observation has sparked a fan theory suggesting a potential connection between the two characters, adding layers to Jaqen's mysterious persona in the story.
This nuanced difference in appearance and the potential connection to Syrio Forel serve to emphasize Jaqen H'ghar's role as a mysterious and multifaceted character in the "Game of Thrones" universe. The show's decision to take a more subdued visual approach adds an element of intrigue to his already enigmatic persona, leaving audiences pondering the true depths of his character.
