Biography
Background
Davos saved up enough money through his smuggling to purchase a small plot of land. He then found a woman, Marya, kind enough to overlook his trade.[1] Salladhor Saan attended their wedding feast.[2] She gave him a son they named Matthos. Marya and Davos hoped that he would eventually save enough riches so he could quit smuggling.[1]
Season 2
Melisandre asks Davos if he loves his wife to which he replies he does. She asserts that the answers that way yet he has known other women and Davos tells her not to talk about his wife anymore. Melisandre says that she is speaking of other women like herself and asserts that Davos wants her.[3]
Season 3
After rescuing Davos, Salladhor Saan advises him to return to Marya so he can comfort her following their son's death, but Davos demands to be taken to Dragonstone to stop Melisandre. Salladhor agrees but jokes that, after Davos is killed, he will gather his bones so that Marya can wear them around her neck.[2]
