剑术大师西利欧·佛瑞尔就像《权力的游戏》版的《黑道家族》中那势不可挡的俄罗斯匪徒——一个值得怀念，深受粉丝喜爱的角色，然而他于第一季从观众视野中淡然褪去并让观众们对他的命运揣测了数年（并推测他可能有一天会回归）。
而如今艾莉亚得到了这个谜团的答案。
在一次IGN对麦茜·威廉姆斯的采访中，这位《权力的游戏》演员指出她曾一直以为她第一季中的水舞者老师可能在和那些凶残的兰尼斯特护卫队英勇奋战中设法活了下来——从而让她能逃脱。她也曾和大多数粉丝一样推测无面者贾昆可能事实上就和西利欧为同一个人（毕竟两人都来自布拉佛斯）。
然后当威廉姆斯问《权力的游戏.》运作人戴维·贝尼奥夫和丹·万斯时，他们明确地告诉她，“不，他死了。”
“所以这事很快就平静了下来”威廉姆斯说道“不过我想我们仍可幻想。”
至少艾莉亚已经在布拉佛斯的妓院里杀了兰尼斯特护卫队队长马林·特兰为西利欧报仇雪恨了。再者，佛瑞尔给我们致以了这部剧漫长发展历史中最好的名言之一：“世界上只有一个神，他叫做死神。我们只有一句话对死神说：今天还不是时候。
《权力的游戏》将于4月24日于HBO回归。
Game of Thrones: Maisie Williams reveals character"s unseen fateSwordmaster Syrio Forel is like the Game of Thrones version of that unstoppable Russian gangster on The Sopranos – a memorable, fan-favorite character who vanished from sight, leaving viewers to wonder for years about his fate (and speculate that he might someday return).Now Arya herself has gotten to the bottom of the mystery.In an interview with IGN, Thrones star Maisie Williams noted she always assumed her season 1 “dancing instructor” (played by Miltos Yerolemou) had somehow survived his pending face-off with those murderous Lannister guards he heroically fought – thereby allowing her to escape. She also speculated, like many fans, that Forel and Faceless Man Jaqen H’ghar might actually be the same person (they’re both from Braavos, after all).Then Williams asked Thrones showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss, who told her definitively, “No, he is dead.” “So that put that to bed really quickly,” Williams said “But I guess we can all still dream.”As least Arya got some vengeance for Syrio when she killed Lannister guard leader Meryn Trant at a brothel in Braavos. Plus, Forel gave us one of the best quotes in the show’s history: “There is only one god and his name is Death. And there is only one thing we say to Death: Not today.”Game of Thrones returns to HBO on April 24.
