Magister [[Illyrio Mopatis]], serving as patron to the exiled [[Viserys Targaryen|Viserys]] and [[Daenerys Targaryen]], arranges a marriage between Princess Daenerys and Khal Drogo during one of Drogo's visits to Pentos. In return for his bride, Drogo is to provide ten thousand Dothraki warriors for her brother's campaign to retake the [[Iron Throne]].{{Ref|AGOT|3}}

[[wedding of Drogo and Daenerys Targaryen|The wedding]] takes place in the traditional Dothraki fashion, with Drogo's entire ''[[khalasar]]'' gathering in a field outside Pentos for a day-long feast, punctuated with several deadly fights and couples having intercourse in the open. In accordance with tradition, Drogo's bloodriders offer fine weapons—a whip, an ''[[arakh]]'', and a [[dragonbone]] bow—to the new ''[[khaleesi]]'', who then gives them to her husband. Drogo's own gift to his bride is a magnificent [[silver mare]]. When they ride off to consummate the marriage, Daenerys is terrified of her bridegroom and expects to be raped. Despite his fierce reputation, however, Drogo proves to be a surprisingly considerate lover. Although he and Dany share no common language, he establishes that he understands the word "no," then begins touching her gently, trying to arouse her. He does not begin to have intercourse with her until Dany expresses her approval and initiates it.{{Ref|AGOT|11}}

Drogo initially ignores Daenerys as his ''khalasar'' rides to [[Vaes Dothrak]], only visiting the uncomfortable girl in her tent at night to roughly copulate with her.

After learning seduction techniques from [[Doreah]], Daenerys initiates sex with Drogo outside of her tent, impressing the ''khal''.{{ref|AGOT|23}} As Daenerys's new role as ''khaleesi'' takes her out of her abusive brother's control, and Daenerys learns from [[Jhiqui]] that she is pregnant.{{ref|AGOT|23}}

Unlike Daenerys, Viserys shows nothing but contempt for Dothraki culture and becomes increasingly impatient for the aid Khal Drogo had promised him. A drunken Viserys breaks the ancient taboo against bloodshed in Vaes Dothrak by drawing his blade and threatening the life of Daenerys and her unborn child, demanding his crown. Announcing that Viserys will have the crown of gold he deserves, Drogo sidesteps the prohibition against spilling blood in the sacred city by first melting down his belt of gold medallions Drogo and upending the pot of molten gold over Viserys's head, killing him.{{ref|AGOT|46}}

Enraged by the attempt on his wife's life, Drogo reaffirms his commitment to conquer the [[Seven Kingdoms]] for her sake and seat their son on the throne of her ancestors.{{Ref|AGOT|54}}

Drogo slays the bloodrider and then Ogo himself.{{Ref|AGOT|61}} Jorah advises Drogo to sell his captives in [[Meereen]] so they can buy ships and hire sailors for the journey to Westeros.

Though Drogo is unconcerned with his seemingly minor wound, Daenerys convinces him to let [[Mirri Maz Duur]], a Lhazareen ''[[maegi]]'' she had rescued, make him a poultice. The poultice itches, however, and Drogo tears it off, causing the wound to fester. Drogo's condition deteriorates until he falls from his horse, a symbolic event in Dothraki culture that indicates he is no longer fit to lead.{{ref|AGOT|64}}

Drogo and his treasures are piled upon a funeral pyre, and Daenerys places the three petrified [[dragon egg]]s given to her by Illyrio about Drogo's body. Daenerys burns Drogo on the platform along with a bound Mirri Maz Duur. Daenerys enters the conflagration as the platform burns and collapses.
