A tortured slave is a slave who is strapped to a cross and left to die out in public on the Walk of Punishment.
Biography[]
Game of Thrones: Season 3[]
He is a slave who presumably showed insubordination of some kind to his masters, and after being viciously whipped is strapped to a cross and left to die out in public on the Walk of Punishment, as a warning to all other slaves. Daenerys offers the man water, but he refuses to drink, saying that he just wants to die quickly, as drinking the water will only prolong his suffering.[1]
In the books[]
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, when Daenerys walks through the streets of Astapor and comes to the Plaza of Punishment, she sees a wooden platform where rebellious slaves are racked, flayed and hanged; in contrast to the show, she does not try to help any of them.

Notes[]
- ↑ In "Winter Is Coming," which takes place in 298 AC, Sansa Stark tells Cersei Lannister that she is 13 years old and Bran Stark tells Jaime Lannister that he is 10 years old. Arya Stark was born between Sansa and Bran, making her either 11 or 12 in Season 1. The rest of the Stark children have been aged up by 2 years from their book ages, so it can be assumed that she is 11 in Season 1. Arya is 18 in Season 8 according to HBO, which means at least 7 years occur in the span of the series; therefore, each season of Game of Thrones must roughly correspond to a year in-universe, placing the events of Season 3 in 300 AC.
