Jaqen H'ghar

## History

### A Clash of Kings

Jaqen H'ghar is part of Yoren's group of recruits taken from King's Landing to join the Night's Watch in the North. He is taken from the Black Cells with two other prisoners; Rorge and Biter.

At Harrenhal, Arya meets Jaqen again when he becomes a member of the Lannister men. There, he tells her that he owes her three deaths in exchange for her saving him, Rorge, and Biter. She uses him to kill two of her enemies; Chiswyck and Weese. But for her third victim, she threatens to name Jaqen himself, unless he help her free Roose Bolton and the North Men so that they can take over Harrenhal.

once his promise is filled, Jaqen H'ghar reveals his faceless nature to her, gives her an old iron coin, and tells her that she can find him by giving the coin to any man from Braavos, and say the words *valar morghulis*. Then he announces that "Jaqen H'ghar" must die, and passes a hand over his face, making it magically reshape into a hook-nosed man with a gold tooth..
