Daario was part of the Stormcrows when they took on a contract to defend [[Yunkai]] from the forces of [[Daenerys Targaryen]]. Daario was one of the captains of the Stormcrows who attended the parley with Daenerys. She offered the captains gold and plunder if the Stormcrows came over to her side, but was rebuffed by [[Prendahl na Ghezn]], one of the other captains. The Stormcrows were a company of freedmen, and therefore the question of breaking the contract with Yunkai would have to be put to each man.  While that debate was going on in the camp, Daario, won over by Daenerys, killed Prendahl and his fellow captain, [[Sallor|Sallor the Bald]], and brought the Stormcrows over to Daenerys.{{Ref|aSoS|42}}

Daario by Borja Pindado © Fantasy Flight Games

Daenerys sends Daario as an ambassador to the Lhazareen with the mission of reopening the land trade routes between Lhazar and Meereen.[11] He leads the Stormcrows in fighting on the Khyzai Pass against the Long Lances.[9] After the Green Grace suggests that Daenerys wed Hizdahr zo Loraq to bring peace, Daario angers the queen by suggesting she slaughter the Great Masters who would assemble at the wedding feast. Daenerys orders the Stormcrows to patrol the Yunkish hinterlands and protect the Khyzai Pass, with Daario reporting to Ser Barristan Selmy, Lord Commander of the Queensguard.[9]

While evading the second siege of Meereen, Daario is wounded by a crossbow which cuts his temple. The captain claims to have killed one of his serjeants who wanted to defect to the Yunkai'i.[12] Infatuated with the sellsword,[9][13] Daenerys begins sleeping with Daario after his return to Meereen,[12] and the sellsword angers Barristan by kissing the queen in public.[4] Daario refers to the aged knight as "Ser Grandfather".[14]

Prince Quentyn Martell, Ser Archibald Yronwood, and Ser Gerris Drinkwater disguise themselves as sellswords and join Daario's Stormcrows. After the Dornish knights reveal their identities to Daenerys, an angry Daario distrusts them.[4][10]

Daario becomes bad tempered when Dany agrees to weds Hizdahr. Although he does not attend the wedding at the Temple of the Graces, Daenerys secretly hopes that her sellsword lover will intervene and abscond with her.[4] The sellsword becomes more wild after the wedding. Daario, Groleo, Hero, Jhogo, and Hizdahr's sister and two cousins are given as hostages to the Yunkai'i to vouchsafe for Daenerys's good intentions for peace.[10] Daario leaves his blades decorated with wanton women in Daenerys's care.[15]

After Daenerys disappears from Daznak's Pit on the back of Drogon,[16] the Yunkai'i refuse to release the hostages until her other two dragons, Rhaegal and Viserion, are executed.[17] When Barristan and Skahaz mo Kandaq plot against King Hizdahr, the knight wants Daario to be rescued from the Yunkai'i while the Shavepate suggests that Daario be allowed to die so that the Stormcrows can choose a new leader.[14] As Daario remains a prisoner of the Yunkai'i, command of the Stormcrows passes to the Widower and Jokin.[18]
