While Khal Drogo's khalasar was traveling through the Dothraki sea, Jhogo uses his whip to defend Dany from her brother, Viserys. He also prevents an assassination attempt on Dany in Vaes Dothrak and is rewarded handsomely by the Khal. After Khal Drogo's death, Daenerys names him her bloodrider and gifts him the silver-handed whip that was one of her wedding gifts.
