"A Khal who takes orders from a foreign whore is no Khal."
Mago to Drogo[src]

Mago is a recurring character in the first season. He is played by stunt performer Ivailo Dimitrov and debuts in "Winter is Coming". Mago is a rider in Khal Drogo's khalasar.

Biography

Season 1

Mago attends Drogo's wedding to the Westerosi exile Daenerys Targaryen. He watches as two warriors squabble over a dancer at the wedding.[1]

Mago objects to Daenerys intervening and refusing to allow the Dothraki to take their share of the Lhazareen women as spoils of war. He refuses to recognize her authority as khaleesi, calling her a foreign whore, and also defies Drogo. The Khal fights him, disdainfully disarming himself and deliberately accepting an arakh wound to show contempt for Mago's combat skills before slitting his throat with his own weapon and then pulling his tongue out through the neck wound.[2]

Shortly after Mago's death, the wound he gave Drogo festers, leading to Drogo's death. Thus, technically Mago is partially responsible for Drogo's death.
