You will not like the shape of this. Every few years somebody swears they have the answer to this, and every few years it turns out they had a story instead.
Strip the songs away and it comes to this: whether Varys serves anyone but Varys. I think we have been asking the wrong question for a hundred years.
The thing that unsettles me is that the people best placed to know went to considerable trouble to leave no record. Men do not do that over nothing.
That is my counsel and I disclaim all responsibility.
