Biography
Season 3
Mero is a captain of the company of sellswords known as the Second Sons. Along with his co-captain Prendahl na Ghezn and a lieutenant Daario Naharis he meets Daenerys in her tent outside Yunkai but snubs her offer to fight for her on the premise that the Second Sons already had a contract with Yunkai. After aiming several lewd insults at Daenerys he leads the Second Sons out of her tent with a barrel of wine as a token of her wllingness to work with them.
Mero is next seen back at his camp discussing Daenerys with Daario and Prendahl while groping a Yunkish prostitute on his lap. They eventually decide to assassinate her. Mero gives the Yunkish slave three coins to hand out at random to the three Second Sons to decide which of them should do the deed. That mission winds up falling on Daario's shoulders but he refuses to go through with it. Mero and Prendahl both draw their swords but he promptly kills the two of them and later delivers their severed heads to Daenerys.

In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Mero's background is the same. He is described as having pale green eyes and a bushy red beard. He is the captain of the Second Sons, though under his leadership the Second Sons' reputation has fallen to the point where none of the Free Cities will hire him any longer.
In the books, as the Second Sons are a separate company from the Stormcrows - to which Daario Naharis and Prendahl na Ghezn belong - Mero is not killed by Daario. He sneaked into Daenerys' camp and tried to kill her, but was stopped and killed by Barristan Selmy.
