Take your clothes off and come sit on Mero's lap... and I may give you my Second Sons.
~ Mero to Daenerys Targaryen.

Mero, nicknamed the Titan's Bastard, is a minor antagonist in the A Song of Ice and Fire novel series and its television adaptation, Game of Thrones.

He is the Braavosi commander of the Second Sons, a sellsword company. Despite his superficial friendliness, Mero is a serial rapist with a cruel reputation, and under his leadership, the company is rarely hired by anyone, as they have become almost as ill-reputed as the Brave Companions.

In the show, he was portrayed by Mark Killeen, who also played Pontimus in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.

Biography[]

In the third book, Mero of Braavos commands the Second Sons and is hired by the forces of Yunkai to fight for the city. The mercenary company cannot find work in western Essos and the Free Cities, thanks to Mero's leadership, which gave the Second Sons a bad reputation.

During the siege of Yunkai, Mero, the Ghiscari captain Prendahl na Ghezn, and the Tyroshi captain Daario Naharis are invited by Daenerys Targaryen for a parley before a planned battle outside the city's walls. In the novels, Prendahl and Daario are joint captains of the sellsword company of the Stormcrows, along with Sallor the Bald, who does not take part in the parley, and Mero is the sole representative of the Second Sons in the meeting. In the television show, Mero is a joint commander with Prendahl and Daario, who are captain and lieutenant of the Second Sons, respectively.

During the meeting, Mero insults Daenerys several times while pretending to be friendly. He refuses Daenerys's offer to switch sides as part of her plan to either sack Yunkai or force the city's ruling Wise Masters to surrender all their slaves. Mero is extremely confident in his side's victory and suggests the possibility of Daenerys becoming a slave herself, along with all the Astapori refugees and her whole army. He accepts a barrel of wine to represent Dany's wish to hire the company and leaves.

After the Second Sons and Stormcrows depart, Barristan Selmy (disguised as Arstan Whitebeard in the books) and Jorah Mormont agree that Mero has an "evil reputation" throughout the Free Cities and has led the Second Sons company to become nearly as bad as the Brave Companions. This is the reason why nobody would hire them and why they are out in Slaver's Bay.

In the TV show, Mero dies earlier and in a different manner, since the Second Sons and the Stormcrows are basically composite in Yunkai (the Stormcrows do appear in the show but as nameless sellswords hired by Stannis Baratheon). Mero, alongside Prendahl and Daario, decides to kill Daenerys inside a brothel with a Yunkish bedslave. They let the bedslave hand out three coins at random, and the Braavosi was given to Daario, leaving him the task of assassinating Daenerys. Daario kills the other two instead and presents their heads to her. In the novels, this happens to Prendahl and Sallor the Bald, both captains of the Stormcrows. As men of sellsword companies are normally free to choose whoever to follow, a debate between the Stormcrow captains and their subordinates broke out while arguing if they should break their contract with Yunkai or not. While all the mercenaries are debating, the captain, Daario, suddenly kills Prendahl and Sallor, takes over the company as the main captain, and gives his support to Daenerys, ending the debate.

During the battle near Yunkai, Mero flees, and Brown Ben Plumm is elected as the new commander of the Second Sons after the Wise Masters are temporarily defeated. Both the Second Sons and Stormcrows companies join Daenerys Targaryen's army. Mero, who has been declared missing in action, shaves his beard and hides amongst the freedmen and refugees that follow Daenerys during the march to Meereen. During the Siege of Meereen, Mero attempts to murder Daenerys in the refugee camps while she is riding. He is stopped by Arstan Whitebeard, who defeats him with a stick. Mero is then ripped apart by a mob of freedmen in the camps.
