Warning: Contains more Game of Thrones Season 7 spoilers than you can shake an onion at.

It's becoming more and more clear that Ser Davos is one of the best characters in Game of Thrones.

No, really. He's reliable, he's honest, and -- as we saw in that brilliant Jon-meets-Dany scene from episode 3 -- he's got some previously undiscovered comedy value.

I'm not saying he's the greatest character of all, but he's got to be close to top 5 by now at least.

Anyway, the big question on the lips of every dedicated Ser Davos fan is this: what role is the wily old Onion Knight going to play in the last two Seasons? He can fight, he's a good adviser, and he's an expert smuggler, so he's pretty much a triple threat. The possibilities are endless.

Well, one Reddit user thinks they know exactly what Ser Davos' next move could be.

Here's a theory about the Onion Knight and the Unsullied which was shared in the r/gameofthrones subreddit on Wednesday:

It makes sense, right?

Grey Worm and Co. are about to be under siege, and if there's one person who's perfect to sneak through Euron's pesky navy and save the day, it's big Ser D.

People on Reddit were all for it.

All being well, The Onion Knight 2: Return of Ser D will soon be coming to a screen near you very soon.
