Like most Dothraki, Drogo has [[copper]]-colored skin, black hair, and black eyes. He is tall and muscular, and moves gracefully. He has a long, drooping moustache and a long braid hung with [[Bells (Dothraki)|tiny bells]] that hangs down to his thighs, symbolizing his status among the Dothraki as an undefeated warlord.


Drogo's favorite horse is an unnamed [[Drogo's stallion|lean red stallion]], as it is not a Dothraki custom to give individual names to animals.

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}}
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}}


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 [[The Silver|silver mare]].
[[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}}
[[File:Daenerys Drogo Illyrio Her Silver.jpg|Drogo presents his bride gift, [[the Silver]], to Daenerys - by Amok ©|350px|thumb]]
Finally Drogo leads Daenerys off to consummate the marriage. A thirteen-year-old girl who had been abused by her brother for most of her life and had been given no say in 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 understood 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}} This tender wedding night sets the tone for their marriage, which becomes a remarkably happy one.
As Daenerys' new role as ''khaleesi'' takes her out of her abusive brother's control, she begins to leave behind the timid, passive girl she had been, blossoming into a strong, confident young woman and a natural leader. As Dany learns to speak the Dothraki language, Drogo proves a quick study at picking up the [[Common Tongue]] of [[Westeros]], though he retains his accent. He addresses Dany affectionately as "moon of my life," while she calls him "my sun and stars." Drogo treats her with respect and values her opinions; although he does not understand or share her objections to the traditional Dothraki practices of raping and enslaving conquered peoples, Drogo supports Dany when she orders his warriors to cease, delighted by his wife's growing courage.{{Ref|aGoT|61}} The pair grow to love one another deeply.
[[File:John Matson khal drogo.JPG|350px|left|thumb|Khal Drogo riding [[Drogo's stallion|his stallion]] - by John Matson ©]]
Drogo's relationship with Viserys, however, is not nearly as felicitous. While Daenerys is respectful of Dothraki culture and eager to learn about and embrace it, her brother shows nothing but contempt for the Dothraki "savages" and is increasingly impatient for the aid Khal Drogo had promised him. The issue finally came to a head when 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. Drogo cunningly sidesteps the prohibition against spilling blood in the sacred city by announcing that Viserys will have the crown of gold he deserves, then upends a pot of molten gold over his head, killing him.


In Vaes Dothrak the women of the ''[[dosh khaleen]]'' proclaim that Drogo and Daenerys's [[Rhaego|unborn child]] will be the [[stallion who mounts the world]], a prophesied leader in Dothraki legend.{{Ref|aGoT|46}} Drogo has little interest in invading Westeros, a land that holds nothing in particular that the Dothraki want and is located across the sea, which they have always feared. However, he reconsiders after an assassin tries to kill Dany and claim [[Robert Baratheon]]'s reward. 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}} He pillages several towns in [[Lhazar]] to harvest slaves to exchange for warships that will take his horde across the sea. While in Lhazar, Drogo's ''khalasar'' defeats the rival ''khalasar'' of Khal [[Ogo]]. Drogo slays Ogo himself, but takes a wound to the chest.{{Ref|aGoT|61}}
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 Daenerys has a [[dragon dream]], however, she gradually becomes more confident. Daenerys's new role as ''khaleesi'' takes her out of her abusive brother's control. 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}}

Though Drogo is unconcerned with his minor wound, Daenerys convinces him to let [[Mirri Maz Duur]], a Lhazareen ''[[maegi]]'' she had rescued, make him a poultice. The poultice itches, 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. As he lingers near death, Daenerys convinces Mirri Maz Duur to use her [[Magic|blood magic]] to preserve his life by sacrificing [[Drogo's stallion|his stallion]].{{Ref|aGoT|64}} The ''maegi'' betrays her in revenge for the attack on her village, and the ritual only returns Drogo to a catatonic state, while causing their child to die in Daenerys' womb. Realizing that Drogo would never return to his former state, Dany smothers him with a pillow and builds him a funeral pyre as his ''khalasar'' breaks apart. She burns his body on the pyre along with Mirri Maz Duur and enters the flames with her petrified [[dragon]] eggs. The flames magically trade life for life, killing the ''maegi'' and hatching the three dragons while leaving Daenerys unharmed.{{Ref|aGoT|72}}

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}}
 
Drogo and his [[bloodrider]]s hunt a ''[[hrakkar]]''. It rakes Drogo through his leggings, scarring his leg. He returns to Vaes Dothrak with the carcass slung across a packhorse.{{Ref|AGOT|54}} Drogo has little interest in invading [[Westeros]], a land that holds nothing in particular that the Dothraki want and is located across the [[narrow sea]], which they have always feared. However, he reconsiders after a [[wineseller]] tries to [[poison]] Daenerys in the Western Market and claim King [[Robert I Baratheon]]'s reward. 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's ''khalasar'' defeats the rival ''khalasar'' of Khal [[Ogo]] at a [[city of the Lamb Men]]. Drogo is shot in the arm by an arrow, and one of Ogo's bloodriders cuts off Drogo's left nipple, leaving a flap of bloody skin. 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. Although he does not understand or share her objections to the traditional Dothraki practices of raping and enslaving conquered peoples, Drogo supports Daenerys when she orders his warriors to cease raping the [[Lhazareen]], delighted by his wife's growing courage.{{Ref|AGOT|61}}

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.

In the television adaptation Game of Thrones, Drogo is portrayed by Jason Momoa.[6]

Appearance and Character

Khal Drogo, by Chris Dien ©

Like most Dothraki, Drogo has copper-colored skin,[2] thick black hair,[7] and almond-shaped eyes[8] the color of onyx.[2] Tall and muscular, he moves gracefully like a panther.[2] The khal has a long, black moustache,[8] and he binds his thick mustachios with gold and bronze rings.[2] A long black braid, scented with oils[2] and decorated with tiny bells of silver[7] or gold,[8] hangs down to his thighs, symbolizing his status among the Dothraki as an undefeated warlord.[2] Daenerys Targaryen thinks that Drogo has a hard and cruel face when she is introduced to him.[2]

A skilled warrior,[2][9] the khal can be tender[7] and protective.[10]

The bare-chested[8][9] Drogo wears horsehide trousers[8] and painted vests,[10] with his favorite vest being old and faded.[11] He owns a heavy belt of solid gold medallions[8] and a wide belt with heavy medallions of silver, gold, and bronze.[10] The khal wields an arakh,[12] a whip,[11] and a dragonbone bow.[11] Drogo's favorite horse is a lean red stallion, unnamed, as it is not a Dothraki custom to give individual names to animals.[13]

Drogo has a wooden feasting hall with timbered walls and a silk roof in the sacred Dothraki city of Vaes Dothrak.[1] He also possesses a nine-towered manse in Pentos, given to him by the city's ruling magisters as part of their policy of bribing the Dothraki not to loot the Free City.[2]

Cohollo, Qotho, and Haggo serve Drogo as bloodriders.[7]

History

[edit]

Drogo's father was Khal Bharbo.[10] Cohollo was pledged to the khalakka, or prince, while Drogo was still a child, and he saved young Drogo's life from sellswords on one occasion.[1] Bharbo gave his son a whip when Drogo reached manhood.[11]

By the age of thirty,[2] Drogo leads a khalasar with forty thousand warriors,[7][1] the largest on the Dothraki sea. The khal has never been defeated in battle.[2] He has given a tall grey stallion to Jhogo.[9]

Drogo developed a taste for good wine from his visits to the Free Cities.[10]

A Game of Thrones

[edit]
Khal Drogo riding his stallion, by John Matson ©

Magister Illyrio Mopatis, serving as patron to the exiled 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.[2]

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.[7]

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 Daenerys has a dragon dream, however, she gradually becomes more confident. Daenerys's new role as khaleesi takes her out of her abusive brother's control. After learning seduction techniques from Doreah, Daenerys initiates sex with Drogo outside of her tent, impressing the khal.[13] 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.[13]

As Daenerys learns to speak the Dothraki language, Drogo begins to learn the Common Tongue of Westeros, though he has a strong accent.[8] Drogo addresses Daenerys affectionately as "moon of my life,"[8] while she calls him "my sun and stars."[1] After Daenerys eats a stallion heart in front of the dosh khaleen of Vaes Dothrak, she and Drogo have sex by the Womb of the World.[8] The dosh khaleen proclaim that Drogo and Daenerys's unborn child, Rhaego, will be the stallion who mounts the world, a prophesied leader in Dothraki legend.[8]

Khal Drogo by Tomasz Jedruszek © Fantasy Flight Games

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.[8]

Drogo and his bloodriders hunt a hrakkar. It rakes Drogo through his leggings, scarring his leg. He returns to Vaes Dothrak with the carcass slung across a packhorse.[10] Drogo has little interest in invading Westeros, a land that holds nothing in particular that the Dothraki want and is located across the narrow sea, which they have always feared. However, he reconsiders after a wineseller tries to poison Daenerys in the Western Market and claim King Robert I Baratheon's reward. 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.[10]

Drogo's khalasar defeats the rival khalasar of Khal Ogo at a city of the Lamb Men. Drogo is shot in the arm by an arrow, and one of Ogo's bloodriders cuts off Drogo's left nipple, leaving a flap of bloody skin. Drogo slays the bloodrider and then Ogo himself.[9] Jorah advises Drogo to sell his captives in Meereen so they can buy ships and hire sailors for the journey to Westeros. Although he does not understand or share her objections to the traditional Dothraki practices of raping and enslaving conquered peoples, Drogo supports Daenerys when she orders his warriors to cease raping the Lhazareen, delighted by his wife's growing courage.[9]

Drogo's funeral pyre, by Kim Pope, for Game of Thrones

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.[14]

As Drogo lingers near death, Daenerys convinces Mirri to use her bloodmagic to preserve his life by sacrificing his stallion.[14] Alarmed by the ceremony, Drogo's bloodriders try to intervene but are defeated by Daenerys's khas and Ser Jorah.[14] The maegi betrays Daenerys in revenge for the attack on her village, and the ritual leave Drogo in a catatonic state while causing Rhaego to die in Daenerys's womb.[12] Drogo's khalasar breaks apart, with Pono and Jhaqo leading the largest of the dozen new hosts. Daenerys bathes Drogo, leads him out into the night, and fails in an attempt to arouse him. Realizing that Drogo will never return to his former state, Dany smothers him with a pillow.[12]

Drogo and his treasures are piled upon a funeral pyre, and Daenerys places the three petrified dragon eggs 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. The flames magically trade life for life, killing the maegi and hatching three small dragons while leaving Daenerys unharmed.[11]

A Clash of Kings

[edit]

Daenerys names her black hatchling dragon Drogon after her late husband.[15] She wears the pelt of the hrakkar slain by Drogo as a hooded cloak.[15]

In Vaes Tolorro, after talking with Ser Jorah Mormont about some of his past and his second wife, Lynesse Hightower, Daenerys realizes that the knight desires her. Daenerys realizes that she does not feel that way about Jorah and compares him unfavorably with Drogo.[15] Daenerys dreams of Drogo and the first ride they had taken together on the night they were wed. In the dream it is not horses they rode, but dragons.[15]

A Storm of Swords

[edit]

Recalling Drogo's fate, Daenerys insists that Strong Belwas be treated for his cut after fighting Oznak zo Pahl outside Meereen.[16]

A Dance with Dragons

[edit]

Now Queen of Meereen, Daenerys continues to wear the lion pelt given to her by Drogo.[17] Before her wedding to Hizdahr zo Loraq, Daenerys recalls her first night with Drogo.[18]

Quotes by Drogo

[edit]
Drogo’s arakh, by JB Casacop © Fantasy Flight Games

Daenerys: You speak the Common Tongue.
Drogo: No.[7]

—Daenerys Targaryen and Drogo

Crown! Here. A crown for Cart King![8]

—Drogo to Viserys Targaryen

This seller of poisons ran from the moon of my life. Better he should run after her. So he will. Jhogo, Jorah the Andal, to each of you I say, choose any horse you wish from my herds, and it is yours. Any horse save my red and the silver that was my bride gift to the moon of my life. I make this gift to you for what you did. And to Rhaego son of Drogo, the stallion who will mount the world, to him I also pledge a gift. To him I will give this iron chair his mother's father sat in. I will give him Seven Kingdoms. I, Drogo, khal, will do this thing. I will take my khalasar west to where the world ends, and ride the wooden horses across the black salt water as no khal has done before. I will kill the men in the iron suits and tear down their stone houses. I will rape their women, take their children as slaves, and bring their broken gods back to Vaes Dothrak to bow down before the Mother of Mountains, as the stars look down to witness.[10]

—Drogo to Jhogo and Jorah Mormont

See how fierce she grows! It is my son inside her, the stallion who mounts the world, filling her with his fire. Ride slowly, Qotho … if the mother does not burn you where you sit, the son will trample you into the mud. And you, Mago, hold your tongue and find another lamb to mount. These belong to my khaleesi.[9]

—Drogo to Qotho and Mago

Daenerys: Drink neither wine nor the milk of the poppy. Pain you will have, but you must keep your body strong to fight the poison spirits.
Drogo: I am khal. I spit on pain and drink what I like.[9]

—Daenerys Targaryen and Drogo

Quotes about Drogo

[edit]
Jason Mamoa as Drogo in Game of Thrones

Khal Drogo was a head taller than the tallest man in the room, yet somehow light on his feet, as graceful as the panther in Illyrio's menagerie. He was younger than she'd thought, no more than thirty. His skin was the color of polished copper, his thick mustachios bound with gold and bronze rings.[2]

—thoughts of Daenerys Targaryen

Do you see his braid, sweet sister? You see how long it is? When Dothraki are defeated in combat, they cut off their braids in disgrace, so the world will know their shame. Khal Drogo has never lost a fight. He is Aegon the Dragonlord come again, and you will be his queen.[2]

—Viserys Targaryen to Daenerys Targaryen

Daenerys: Your spells are costly, maegi.

Mirri: He lives. You asked for life. You paid for life.
Daenerys: This is not life, for one who was as Drogo was. His life was laughter, and meat roasting over a firepit, and a horse between his legs. His life was an arakh in his hand and his bells ringing in his hair as he rode to meet an enemy. His life was his bloodriders, and me, and the son I was to give him. When will he be as he was?

Mirri: When the sun rises in the west and sets in the east. When the seas go dry and mountains blow in the wind like leaves. When your womb quickens again, and you bear a living child. Then he will return, and not before.[12]

—Daenerys Targaryen and Mirri Maz Duur

Remember, Drogo. Remember our first ride together, the day we wed. Remember the night we made Rhaego, with the khalasar all around us and your eyes on my face. Remember how cool and clean the water was in the Womb of the World. Remember, my sun-and-stars. Remember, and come back to me.[12]

—Daenerys Targaryen to Drogo

Khal Drogo had been her sun-and-stars, her first, and perhaps he must be her last. The maegi Mirri Maz Duur had sworn she would never bear a living child, and what man would want a barren wife? And what man could hope to rival Drogo, who had died with his hair uncut and rode now through the night lands, the stars as his khalasar?[15]

—thoughts of Daenerys Targaryen

Do you know what it is like to be sold, squire? I do. My brother sold me to Khal Drogo for the promise of a golden crown. Well, Drogo crowned him in gold, though not as he had wished, and I ... my sun-and-stars made a queen of me, but if he had been a different man, it might have been much otherwise.[19]
