From Game of Thrones To Game of Life Ser Davos was the voice of moral conscience in Game of Thrones. Liam Cunningham, the actor who played him, is a strong voice of moral conscience in a real world that would rather forget refugees than help them. I have to admit I have a superficial memory of Game of Thrones, although I watched all the series until a zombie dragon turned up and I turned off. What I do remember clearly is that everyone wanted to kill everyone else in horrendous ways. Apart from two characters. Firstly, of course, there was the hero, Jon “you know nuffin” Snow. But there was also a quietly spoken and shaggy-bearded character called Ser Davos Seaworth who was gentle and kind. Most memorably, he was decidedly against children suffering for the political ambitions of others.
