Ok so I've been thinking about why the show decided to have Jaqen be the Kindly Man. The obvious reason is that Jaqen is a known actor in the show and to add two new characters to the HoBaW is too confusing to the audience. Plus Jaqen, like Bron, is kind of a cult figure in the show-fandom.
This got me thinking though, when we first see the black older man at the door that turns out to be Jaqen, we all think 'oh Jaqen was using another face like he did at the end of season 2 or 3', can't remember which. But then after Arya kills Trant, Jaqen takes poison and kills himself. Suddenly, the Waif is wearing his face and we think it was someone else that took the poison, because the Waif turns into Jaqen.
Here's the thing though, in order for Jaqen to accomplish this, the Waif has to be dead. And more disturbingly, since the person that took the poison was wearing Jaqen's face, it means that Jaqen himself is dead, since you can only wear the faces of the dead.
So who the hell is Jaqen really?
