Intelligence: Secrets are Varys' trade, and his skill at acquiring them has earned him a reputation for being seemingly omniscient. Crucial to his trade is a spy network of children that he refers to as his little mice (in Pentos) or little birds (in Westeros). Varys' history of providing information to all sides, of aiding enemies, of pitting rivals against one another, and of manipulation to achieve his ends has earned him a reputation of being distasteful and untrustworthy among the nobles at court. In private, however, he claims to value order, stability, and peace above all, and professes loyalty to those who work for those goals as well. As the master of whisperers, he has the task of fostering division amongst the enemies of the Iron Throne, and gathering information on all that happens in the realm. He is easily one of the greatest masterminds and players of the game of thrones of the saga along with Petyr Baelish. GRRM also stated (11:06) that the relationship between Petyr Baelish and Varys is adversarial, that both of them know a lot about the other one, including some very damaging things, and so they're in a stalemate, and that Littlefinger has a better idea of Varys wants than Varys as an idea what Littlefinger wants, because Petyr is an agent of chaos who likes to be unpredictable. Varys mastered the secret passages within the Red Keep.
