Kraznys mo Nakloz is one of the Good Masters which are the ruling elite of the city of Astapor. He serves as a minor antagonist to Daenerys Targaryen and appears in A Storm of Swords which is the third book of A Song of Ice and Fire, and Season 3 of Game of Thrones. He is a slavemaster who trains young boys to become Unsullied, so he could sell them.

He was portrayed on the TV show by Dan Hildebrand.

His Evil Ranking[]

What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Evil?[]

  • He is a slavemaster who trains thousands of boys to become Unsullied with the whole process being extremely horrible even by the standards of ASOIAF/GOT.
    • First, all of the boys are gelded at a very young age with both their penises and testicles removed.
    • Then, each of them is given a puppy they have to take care of and by the end of the year they need to kill the puppy to get used to killing. The boys who fail to kill their puppies are killed and then fed to dogs as punishment. However, in the show that part is omitted.
    • Each day they select new names at random by drawing tokens from a bucket. Each of those tokens consists of a color and a type of vermin to remind them how low they stand. Any boy who can't remember his name for the day is killed.
    • They are subjected to harsh training which lasts for years and is designed to strip away all self-worth, empathy and individuality and includes tasks like running all day in full pack, scaling a mountain at night or walking across a bed of coals. The training is so brutal that approximately only one of every three boys (in the TV show it's one of every four boys) completes the training while the other two thirds are killed off for failing a task.
    • Each of the boys who has survived the years of training has to buy a baby from the slave market and kill it in front of the mother to further prove that they are capable of killing others.
    • They then get sold to the rich people willing to pay well for them to be used as highly skilled soldiers.
  • Kraznys mo Nakloz demonstrates the Unsullied's resistance to pain in front of Daenerys by personally cutting off the nipple of one of his Unsullied who barely reacts.
  • He invites Daenerys to one of Astapor's pits for a spectacle with a bear and three small boys - one boy is to be rolled in honey, one in blood and one in rotting fish, with the audience wagering on which boy the bear will eat first. While there is no indication this spectacle is organized by Kraznys himself, he is still delighted to see it which shows what kind of person he is.
  • In the books, after he sells the Unsullied to Daenerys, he advises her to let her army spill some blood by looting towns. Kraznys also asks Daenerys to sell him any strong boys she captures during the raids, so he can make new Unsullied out of them.
  • While the training of the Unsullied happens off-screen and is not actually shown, Kraznys' crimes are not off-screen villainy because the Unsullied are shown on-screen and the impact the training had on them is also shown.
  • He is implied to be a rapist, as Missandei said he also loved to "play" only with the girls.
  • While his death of being burned alive by Drogon is brutal, he deserved it for the brutal training he subjects young boys to where most of them die and the survivors become nearly emotionless killing machines and for forcing them to kill puppies and babies to prove that they can kill.

What Prevents Him from Being Pure Evil?[]

  • While his actions are very depraved even by ASOIAF's heinous standards, the reason why he can't qualify is because he fails the system standard because he is not the only slavemaster from Astapor who trains Unsullied and while he is part of the ruling elite of the city, there is no indication he has more power than the rest of the slavemasters who train Unsullied. Furthermore, the practice of training Unsullied has existed in Astapor for many centuries, thus, he is not the one who has created it, nor is there any indication that the training he subjects his Unsullied to is more brutal than what the other slavemasters do to their own Unsullied.
