Jaqen H'ghar is a character with an assumed identity in the series 'Game Of Thrones'.

He is one of the Faceless Men of Braavos, a group of mysterious assassins who can change the appearance of their face at will and use this power for what seems like nefarious purposes. Jaqen H'ghar is initially introduced as a Lorathi criminal in the 'Game Of Thrones' series.

Jaqen was arrested and kept in the dungeons of King's Landing. He was later recruited by Yoren so that he could join the Night's Watch. As Arya Stark was kidnapped from King's Landing, he travels with them to where the Lannister forces capture them. After the persona of Jaqen becomes useless for the Faceless Men, he shifts into a new appearance and tells Arya that he'll teach her how to be a Faceless Man if she agrees to go with him. He often said to her, "Valar Dohaeris", meaning all men must serve. Eventually, Arya goes to Braavos and finally finds him. He starts training her, and when that comes to an end, she kills the Waif and becomes 'no one'.

Jaqen is an advantageous character in the plot as he encourages Arya to let go of her identity and become 'no one'. Still, Arya's time with the Faceless Men proves that she is proud of her identity and wants to reclaim it and head back home as herself, Arya. Arya is a much-loved character in 'Game Of Thrones' and this helps in the development of her character arc.

The book 'Game Of Thrones' was written by George R. R. Martin. The series is based on the book itself, with the show having eight seasons, with 10 episodes in each 'Game Of Thrones' season. Famously known as 'GOT', there is a huge fandom for the series. We have collected all the quotes from Jaqen H'ghar from 'Game Of Thrones' for you to read.
