History CompositeCharacter / GameOfThrones

* Aspects and plot elements of the AdaptedOut Greyjoy, Victarion, have been distributed between Euron (such as his violent boarding raids and wielding of an axe in combat- Euron is never really depicted on-page as a great warrior instead proving his mettle as a strategist, cunning manipulator and sorcerer), and his nephew and niece (such as Yara's quest to meet up with Dany in Slaver's Bay, as Yara's post-Kingsmoot story in the books was wrapped up with Stannis, who'd already been killed on the show). Euron also takes the role of Cersei's untrustworthy naval commander from Aurane Waters, her Master of Ships from the books. Time will tell if he follows the same path. In addition, Euron's role as Cersei's crass and roguish follower who she has an affair with also resembles Osney Kettleblack.

* Meryn Trant is a catch-all for the Kingsguard who are not Jaime Lannister and Barristan Selmy, primarily namesake and appearance of his book counterpart with the actions and personality of Boros Blount.

* As of Season 5, Daenerys' storyline has basically been combined with that of Young Griff — her presumed deceased nephew whom Varys was hoping to restore to power in the books, and whom Tyrion actually joined forces with.
** Much in the same way, many of the characters who are connected with Daenerys have been combined with characters from Griff's entourage. Tyrion being named Hand of the Queen is an echo of Jon Connington being named Hand of the True King. In the book, Tyrion has yet to meet Daenerys, though he is close, while the person who becomes the Hand of the Queen is Barristan Selmy, who is killed off relatively early in the show.
** Daenerys going full-on [[{{Pyromaniac}} Mad Queen]] near the end of the series is also likely an exaggerated composite of her lesson learned at the end of ''A Dance With Dragons'' -- when she realizes that she will need to use more than diplomacy to solve the Siege of Meereen and the Sons of the Harpy -- and a {{Foreshadowing}} about Young Griff when he meets Tyrion. Tyrion notices that Young Griff has a streak of Targaryen madness after seeing him throw a fit for losing a game of cyvasse, which convinces him that he is Prince Aegon Targaryen after all.

* All over the place with the Sand Snakes in season 5, since they were condensed from 8 characters and only 3 have appeared on-screen so far. Along with their mother Ellara Sand, they are also condensed to be Arianne Martell and her various co-conspirators in the kidnapping of Myrcella Baratheon.:

* Doreah, in a way, with Shae from the books. While the Shae from the series is the book character in name only, Doreah plays the character's book role of a BitchInSheepsClothing playing the part of a HookerWithAHeartOfGold, who eventually betrays a POV character when a better opportunity comes along. She's also killed because of this betrayal.

* Black Walder Rivers is a composite of the books' Black Walder Frey and Walder Rivers. He and Lothar also serve as catch-alls for many of the other Freys in the book.

* Jon Snow mixes this with DecompositeCharacter. He takes Catelyn's role as the Stark who is ressurected and joins forces with the Brotherhood Without Banners.

* In series 2, Rodrik Cassel's death is a combination of the death scenes of several minor Winterfell peasants, nanely Benfred Tallhart (who scorns Theon with Theon being told to kill him for disrespect) and Farlen (whose death Theon botches), with some of his own last words thrown in.

* Aspects and plot elements of the AdaptedOut Greyjoy, Victarion, have been distributed between Euron (such as his violent boarding raids and wielding of an axe in combat- Euron is never really depicted on-page as a great warrior instead proving his mettle as a strategist, cunning manipulator and sorcerer), and his nephew and niece (such as Yara's quest to meet up with Dany in Slaver's Bay).

** The leading from the front and being the first one to climb the ladder up the wall is an aspect taken from the book version of young Robert Baratheon.

* Lord Axell Florent. In the books Queen Selyse's uncle Ser Axell is perhaps a worse fanatic than Melisandre and his elder brother Lord Alester Florent is an opportunist who pays lip service to the red god but is ritually burnt after Stannis convicts him of treason for corresponding with Tywin Lannister and offering to surrender Shireen as a hostage without Stannis' knowledge or consent.

* In another major example, Davos's seven sons in the book are condensed into one, Matthos.

* Gendry, perhaps the biggest example, has seen his own book plot combined with the book plot of Edric Storm, another of Robert's bastards who only appears in the book series, who is taken to Dragonstone, which happens to Gendry in Season 3.

* Doreah, in a way, with Shae from the books. While the Shae from the series is the book character in name only, Doreah plays the character's book role of a BitchInSheepsClothing playing the part of a HookerWithAHeartOfGold, who eventually betrays a POV character when a better opportunity comes along. She's also killed because of this betrayal.

* Varys sends Tyrion to Daenerys in Meereen while in the books Illyrio Mopatis, who doesn't appear again after the series premier episode, was the one who did that. He also takes Illyrio's role of welcoming Tyrion to Pentos, though they're still in Illyrio's house, followed by replacing Griff and his entire team in escorting Tyrion to Meereen.

* TV's Rakharo combines Jhogo and Rakharo, two of Dany's Dothraki bodyguards. The rest of the supporting Dothraki cast are condensed into Daenerys' handmaid Irri, who in the books is one half of a Those Two Gals combo with Jhiqui, who in the show is largely an extra (while Irri has gained a lot more personality), Drogo's bloodrider Qotho, and Kovarro, who is a combination of Jhogo and some of Rakharo's traits which were not used in Rakharo, with all the rest Demoted to Extra.

* Mossador has no real equivalent in the book. However, his name, comes from one of Missandei's brothers who was made into Unsullied. His advocacy of violence to fight the Sons of the Harpy seems to stem from Skahaz mo Kandaq, the Shavepate, while his status as a prominent freedman is reminiscent of Symon Stripeback and Rylona Rhee.

* TV's Rakharo combines Jhogo and Rakharo, two of Dany's Dothraki bodyguards. The rest of the supporting Dothraki cast are condensed into Daenerys' handmaid Irri and Drogo's bloodrider Qotho, with all the rest Demoted to Extra.

* Daario stands as Daenerys' counter to the Champion of Meereen in place of the Adapted Out former gladiator Strong Belwas.

* In Season 5, Jorah takes some of Jon Connington's role from the books, particularly getting infected with greyscale while rescuing Tyrion from drowning on their way to Daenarys.

* Varys sends Tyrion to Daenerys in Meereen while in the books Illyrio Mopatis, who doesn't appear again after the series premier episode, was the one who did that.
