Khal Jhaqo is a minor antagonist in the A Song of Ice and Fire novel series. Originally a Ko to Khal Drogo and his khalasar, Jhaqo decided to assemble his own khalasar after Drogo fell ill, and he declared himself khal, a chieftain of a Dothraki khalasar. Ever since then, he became one of the many enemies of Daenerys Targaryen.
In the TV adaptation, he never made an appearance and was only mentioned once.
Biography[]
A Game of Thrones[]
When Drogo became ill due to the festering of a wound he had sustained after defeating a rival Khal and his son, this sign of weakness is what made Jhaqo declare himself khal, after Khal Pono, and he assembled a khalasar of 20,000 Dothraki riders for himself. One of his personal guards, Mago, became one of his bloodriders, the sworn protectors of a khal.
While Daenerys Targaryen was recovering from the birth of her son Rhaego, who proved to be stillborn, Mago steals a Lhazareen woman called Eroeh from his former khaleesi and gave her to Khal Jhaqo, who then raped her before handing her over to six of his men, who also raped the girl before slithering her throat. After recovering, Daenerys was furious upon learning of Eroeh' s brutal fate and she swore revenge on both Jhaqo and Mago, swearing that they would die screaming.
A Dance with Dragons[]
While Daenerys and her dragon Drogon, who she named after the now-dead Drogo, were in the Dothraki Sea, a vast inland region of the eastern continent of Essos, they were discovered by a lone Dothraki scout who immediately fled when approached by Drogon. When the dragon, who is joined by Daenerys, catched and ate a horse, they were soon found by Khal Jhaqo and 50 of his men.
Trivia[]
- While Jhaqo and his khalasar are the ones who find Daenerys and Drogon after their flight from Daznak's Pit, in the television series Game of Thrones, men of Khal Moro's khalasar find them instead. In the novels, Moro is a background character who has so far only appeared in one chapter of the first novel, attending Daenerys's wedding outside Pentos.
