Mago is a minor character in the first season. He is played by stunt performer Ivailo Dimitrov and only appears in "The Pointy End." 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 recognise her authority as khaleesi and calls her a foreign whore. Khal Drogo 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]

In the books
Mago is part of Khal Drogo's khalasar, serving under Ko Jhaqo. In the books he does not die, and, following Drogo's death, he becomes a bloodrider for Jhaqo, one of the several Kos that proclaim themselves Khals, followed by a portion of Drogo's Khalasar. In the novels his name is spelt as both 'Mago' and 'Maggo'. In the DVD commentary for the episode "The Pointy End", George R.R. Martin comments on the "butterfly effect" created when a character is killed off in the TV series, even though he continues to appear in the books; it should be noted, however, that in this case Martin himself wrote the episode in which Mago was killed off early.
