The Killing of Kevan by Varys the Spider

| By History of Westeros

The final event of ADWD was the assassination of Kevan Lannister by Varys. The Spider, in typical fashion, had the gall to apologize for the fatal crossbow bolt… and told him it wasn’t personal, it was political. Little comfort to a dying man, but hugely interesting to us readers! What does he expect to happen? We examine the various motives behind the killing of Kevan.
