Fun Fact
BuzzFeed published a report claiming that Tumblr was utilized as a distribution channel for Russian agents to influence American voting habits during the 2016 presidential election in Feb 2018.
So what exactly are bravos? They look like real things from history, but obviously the ASOIAF version is exagerated. Are they thugs? Duelist? The 50s greasers of their time?
Pretty much, yes.
The historical bravos were basically rapiers-for-hire employed by noblemen (quite literally dons) to intimidate their enemies and pad out a noble family's number of armed retainers during a crisis.
They were known for being snappy dressers (as with other mercenaries of the era, fancy livery was part of the wages), for being aggressive bullies who liked to pick fights, for wasting their money on wine, women, and cards (and thus often being flat broke and descending to mugging people when they couldn't find a paying gig), and being the kind of bad boys you kept very far away from your female relations.
“I had Mikken make this special. The bravos use swords like this in Pentos and Myr and the other Free Cities. It won’t hack a man’s head off, but it can poke him full of holes if you’re fast enough.”
I just watched this video of David Lightbringer about episode 5 of HOTD and let me tell you this “Lemon Gates theory” is just wrong.
Daenerys was truly in Bravos and not in Dorne.

They stepped past the eunuch into a pillared courtyard overgrown in pale ivy. Moonlight painted the leaves in shades of bone and silver as the guests drifted among them.
Many were Dothraki horselords, big men with red-brown skin, their dropping mustachios bound in metal rings, their black hair oiled and braided and hung with bells.
Yet among them moved bravos and sellswords from Pentos and Myr and Tyrosh, a red priest even fatter than Illyrio, hairy men from the Port of Ibben, and lords from the Summer Isles with skin as black as ebony.
Daenerys looked at them all in wonder…and realized, with a sudden start of fear, that she was the only woman there.
Illyrio whispered to them. “Those three are Drogo’s bloodriders, there,” he said. “By the pillar is Khal Moro, with his son Rhogoro. The man with the green beard is brother to the Archon of Tyrosh.”
