House Targaryen

Jhogo

House: Dothraki; bloodrider sworn to Daenerys Targaryen after the death of Khal Drogo

Last confirmed riding for Daenerys Targaryen, helping pacify the lands around Meereen and, most recently, searching the Dothraki sea for the missing queen.

Thin, quick to laugh, and marked by only the faintest shadow of a Dothraki warrior's mustache, Jhogo was raised to bloodrider alongside Aggo and Rakharo after Khal Drogo's death, and Daenerys marked the honor by pressing into his hands the silver-handled whip she had been given as a wedding gift and never had much use for herself. He put it to considerably sharper use than ceremony — leading Daenerys's procession into Qarth's Hall of a Thousand Thrones to petition the city's ruling Pureborn, and lashing it out in the House of the Undying's defense when the warlock Pyat Pree turned murderous, helping disarm him before real harm was done.

The arc of Jhogo

This carries the character’s road through the published novels. Read on only if you do not fear to know.

Jhogo joins Aggo and Rakharo in leading Daenerys's remaining khalasar out to subdue Meereen's countryside once the city falls, breaking the slavers' hold on the hinterlands and bringing grain back to a starving city — and, when Daenerys disappears on Drogon's back after Daznak's Pit, rides out again as part of the search parties combing the Dothraki sea for a queen no one in Meereen is yet willing to call lost.

Where the books leave Jhogo: Jhogo has carried the silver-handled whip Daenerys gave him since the day she named him her bloodrider, and has used it, by the record's account, to considerably better effect than most gifts of that kind ever get put to.

These partings name deaths, endings, and roads not yet ridden in the books. Unveil them only if both roads are known to you — or if you do not fear to know.

What gift did Daenerys give Jhogo?

The silver-handled whip she received as a wedding gift, bestowed on him when she named him one of her three bloodriders after Khal Drogo's death.

What did Jhogo do during the attack in the House of the Undying?

He helped disarm the warlock Pyat Pree with his whip when Pree turned violent against Daenerys in Qarth — one of several moments the text uses to show the bloodriders' loyalty extending well beyond the Dothraki sea.
