With “Game of Thrones” George R.R. Martin crafted a universe full of (tons and tons and tons) complicated and complex characters. Many of the main characters have strong, individualized voices and even out of context, almost any quote can be quickly placed to its speaker. In a world of dozens of characters that is no small feat. Melisandre quotes are usually mysterious and focus on prophecies and her religion.
Melisandre of Asshai is a priestess of R'hllor in service of Stannis Baratheon. She is played by Carice van Houten on the HBO show "Game of Thrones." Melisandre believes that Stannis is the legendary hero Azor Ahai reborn. She uses dark magic to help Stannis in his quest to claim the Iron Throne.
