Each link in a maester’s chain represents his mastery of a different skill or knowledge, and the metal used to forge each link is dependent on the particular course of study. So we’re thinking maybe some copper spray painted gold would be fitting for a maester that has earned his Game of Thrones impressions link.
Because after watching impressionist Scheiffer Bates run through almost all of the major male players from the show’s sixth season we can safely say he has earned the right to add that particular link to his collar.
Starting with his absolutely spot on Jon Snow, this lineup is as long as his impressions are impressive. Besides the formerly dead Lord Commander he took on Ser Jorah, Littlefinger, Varys, Tormund Giantsbane, Ser Davos, Jaime, Ramsay Bolton, (traitor to the Starks) Smalljon Umber, Hodor (young and old, so get ready to feel bad in the middle of this), the High Sparrow, Lancel Lannister, Sam Tarly, Ser Arthur Dayne, young Ned Stark, Tyrion, Walder Frey, Bronn, Thoros of Myr, the Hound, and Jaqen H’ghar.
If he just silently smirked at the screen he could have added the Night’s King to his impressive collection, but we won’t hold that against him.
This isn’t his first video of impressions, and you can find plenty more at his YouTube page, but we do want to make sure you see Kit Harington‘s reaction to Scheiffer’s impression of him from Jimmy Kimmel Live, where Scheiffer read a cereal box as the Lord Commander.
Scheiffer’s Jon Snow is the King in the North of Game of Thrones impressions.
