Game of Thrones/Characters/Independent Characters


The Royal Court

Lord Petyr Baelish a.k.a "Littlefinger" (Aidan Gillen)

"Distrusting me is the wisest thing you've done since you got off your horse."

Master of Coin on King Robert Baratheon's Small Council.

Tropes:

Littlefinger: I did warn you not to trust me.

  • Self-Made Man
  • Self-Proclaimed Liar
  • Shame If Something Happened: After finding Ros crying over Mhaegen's murdered baby he tells her she reminds him of girl he purchased from a Lyseni pleasure house, very expensive and beautiful but she was constantly sad. Since she was a bad investment he sold her to a Lord who wanted to transform her and who derived pleasure from stuff most men would consider unthinkable.
  • Shut UP, Hannibal: It's becoming a pattern for Littlefinger to have his attempts to win someone over, threaten them and/or gloat be quite rudely interrupted. Ned, Cersei and Catelyn have all separately pulled this on him, and all three have gone for his throat or threatened to do so, and Ned even chokeslams him into a wall.
  • Sleazy Politician: He openly advertises that he's a weasel.
  • The Starscream: Pulls one on Ned. And if you think he did it out of loyalty to the Lannisters, think again.
  • Unlucky Childhood Friend: To Catelyn.

Lord Varys a.k.a "The Spider"(Conleth Hill)

"The storms come and go. The big fish eat the little fish and I keep on paddling."

Master of Whispers (IE The Spymaster) on The Small Council.

Tropes:

Varys: Podrick, is that it?
Tyrion: "Is that it"? Nice touch. As if you don't know the name of every boy in town.
Varys: I am not entirely sure what you are suggesting.
Tyrion: I am entirely sure that you are entirely sure of what I am suggesting.

  • Badass Boast: See his page quote.
  • Bald of Ambiguous Evil
  • Benevolent Boss: According to him, his "little birds" are treated very well for their services (certainly better than Littlefinger's prostitutes).
  • The Chessmaster: Part of his job considering he has to attempt to outwit other information brokers like Littlefinger.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Eighty percent of his conversations with Littlefinger and Tyrion are snark. Examples are his conversation with Littlefinger in the Season 1 finale, and this exchange with Tyrion:

Tyrion: (after Joffrey has just gone into detail as to what he plans to do to Stannis) Imagine Stannis' terror.

Varys: (flatly) I am trying.

  • Eunuchs Are Evil: Invoked by Grand Maester Pycelle. It may or may not be true. Lampshaded by Varys himself when he asks with exasperation at the imprisoned Eddard being leery about the water he offers, "Why is it no one ever trusts the eunuch?" Varys' later behaviour, however, demonstrates that he really isn't completely benevolent, and may have only been as kind to Ned as he was, because it could make him feel better about other things he'd done, and he knew it wouldn't cost him anything.
  • Even Ambiguous Evil Has Standards: The Black Magic practiced by the Lord of Light religion disturbs him, and the thought of a follower of that religion sitting on the Iron Throne terrifies him.
  • Friendly Rivalry: To Tyrion. Not so much to Littlefinger, probably on account of his more jerkish attitude.
  • Immigrant Patriotism: The only non-Westerosi born member of the Royal Council (he's from one of the Free Cities), and yet he claims his primary allegiance is to the realm as a whole, as opposed to his own self-enrichment or the further the goals of a particular faction. Whether or not he's telling the truth is hard to determine
  • In the Hood: When going incognito about King's Landing, Varys wears a hooded cloak.
  • Is That a Threat?: Varys makes coy, veiled threats to Tyrion in their first scene together, but Tyrion angrily cuts the bullshit and bluntly calls him out on it. He then threatens to throw Varys into the sea if he ever threatens him again, which leads to the quote above.
  • Knowledge Broker
  • My Master, Right or Wrong: He served Aerys as faithfully as he serves Robert, knowing full well that the first was mad and the second was a fool. But...
  • The Needs of the Many: When asked where his allegiances lie, he says he serves the realm, not the ruler. This is also his justification for going along with the plan to assassinate Daenerys.
  • Non-Action Guy
  • Won't Work On Me: As Ros discovered, it's very hard to seduce someone who has no genitals.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: The assassination attempt on Daenerys that he orchestrated was bungled, and now an EXTREMELY pissed off Khal Drogo is ready to cross the ocean and invade the Seven Kingdoms.
  • Sissy Villain: As with Eunuchs Are Evil, the half of the trope indicating villainy is in doubt, but the first half is blatant. Really, when everyone already knows you're a eunuch, what the devil's the point of wasting time embarrassing yourself by trying to look butch?
  • Sobriquet: It isn't made explicitly clear in the show, but Varys' nickname "The Spider" isn't his own idea; the other members of the court gave it to him due to his "web of information." Varys never claims or uses the nickname himself.
  • Sole Survivor/Zen Survivor: As he implies to Tyrion in the quote above.
  • The Spymaster: He claims his "little birds" are everywhere.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: Gives one to Ned Stark after Robert's death, asking him what on earth possessed him to spill all his plans to Cersei.

Grand Maester Pycelle (Julian Glover)

"Kings? I can tell you all there is to know about kings. The thing you need to understand about kings: in the past 67 years, I have known - truly known - more kings than any man alive. They're complicated men, but I know how to serve them. Yes. And keep on serving them."

Highest ranking Maester in Westeros, and a member of King Robert Baratheon's Small Council.

Tropes:

Pycelle: (toss a coin to Tyrion, with a smirk on his face) For your trouble.

  • Jerkass: He insists that treason is a vile weed, and that therefore Sansa cannot be trusted or believed.
  • Karma Houdini: He has betrayed several Hands of the King (and at least one King) over the years in order to stay safe.
    • Defied when Tyrion, being far more savvy, sets him up to reveal himself as The Mole and promptly has him arrested.
  • Obfuscating Stupidity / Obfuscating Disability: Pretends to be much more frail and absent-minded than he really is in order to fly under the radar. It obviously has served him well, as he's managed to survive in the Deadly Decadent Court of King's Landing for sixty-seven years.
  • Out-Gambitted: Tyrion pulls this by telling him, Littlefinger and Varys three different stories about who he'll marry Myrcella off to, and when Cersei confronts him about Pycelle's version Tyrion knows he's The Mole and has him arrested.
  • Professional Butt-Kisser: He might look like Dumbledore, but he's pretty much just a Lannister yes-man.
  • Throwing Off the Disability: In the first season finale, he does a series of exercises that a frail old man shouldn't be able to do before back into his robes, adopting his usual stooped posture, and shufling out the door. He completely drops the act in the beginning of "Valar Morghulis" to intimidate Tyrion.
  • Wizard Beard: Despite the fact that Maesters are not magic users, Pycelle most certainly has one. Tyrion has Bronn cut most of it off when arresting him, mostly because he can.
  • Yes-Man: To the Lannisters and previously the Targaryens.

Ser Barristan Selmy (Ian McElhinney)

"I am a knight. I shall die a knight! Even now, I could cut through the five of you like carving a cake!"

Also known as "Ser Barristan the Bold". Lord Commander of the Kingsguard.

Tropes:

  • Badass
    • Badass Grandpa: Roughly 60 years old, gray haired, and has served three separate kings, but he is still considered a complete badass and is treated with reverence by anyone with sense. When he is forcibly retired he pointedly mentions that he could cut his way through the other five Kingsguard members present if he wanted to, "like carving a cake."
    • Memetic Badass: In-universe. Watch the Kingsguard freak out when he draws his sword in anger.

Jamie: It was like watching a painter who only used red.

  • Composite Character: It's really subtle, but some of his attributes, namely the admiration Ned and Jaime have for him, seem to be taken from Jaime's mentor in the books.
  • Honor Before Reason: Why he rejects Cersei's retirement offer; as a member of the Kingsguard, he's sworn for life.
  • I Let Robert Baratheon Die: He took his failure to protect the drunken Robert from the boar pretty hard, despite Robert ordering him to stand aside and Ned telling him it wasn't his fault.
  • Master Swordsman: Ned mentions being glad they never met in combat, as the widow's life wouldn't suit Catelyn.
  • My Master, Right or Wrong: As Kingsguard, he is sworn to serve the ruling king. In effect, this meant he once served the Targayens, and following their defeat, accepted a pardon from and now duitfully serves Robert Baratheon. He does, however, have clear misgivings about King Joffrey.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Cersei tries to have him retire to a nice seaside castle. He tells her where she can shove it before storming out. And no-one tries to stop him either, they're clearly too afraid to try.
  • Old Master
  • Worthy Opponent: When he served the Mad King, Ned Stark apparently considered him this, holding him no ill will now they are on the same side and openly confessing he is glad they never met in combat, as he didn't feel that "a widow's life would suit [Catelyn]." Ser Barristan reciprocates the feeling, telling him that he's too modest and that he thinks that he's also a great warrior. He also says that he's seen Ned cut down 'a dozen great knights'.

Ser Meryn Trant (Ian Beattie)

"I take my orders from the King!"

A member of the Kingsguard.

Tropes:

  • Beard of Evil
  • The Brute: Led the Lannister Mooks after the House Stark guard.
  • Composite Character: Of Ser Meryn Trant and Ser Boros Blount.
  • Dirty Coward: Has no problem engaging Syrio Forel in full armour when the latter only has a practice sword or beating Sansa at Joffrey's request. He doesn't dare to speak when Tyrion figuratively tells Bronn to kill Meryn if he says another word. Later, his loyalty to Joffrey provides a convenient excuse to not leave the castle walls in order to save Sansa during a city riot.
  • My Master, Right or Wrong: Brutal as they are, he doesn't question the orders of King Joffrey I.
  • Punch Clock Villain
  • Surrounded by Idiots: Says so when Syrio Forel knocks out all his men with a wooden sword.
  • Would Hit a Girl: If the King orders him to do it.

Ser Ilyn Payne (Wilko Johnson)

The mute royal executioner or "The King's Justice".

Tropes:

(Lord) Janos Slynt (Dominic Carter)

"Joffrey is my king. The rest doesn't matter."

The commander of King's Landing City Watch (a.k.a. the Goldcloaks).

Tropes:

Ser Dontos Hollard (Tony Way)

An alcoholic knight reduced to being a court fool.

Tropes:


House Frey

Lord Walder Frey (David Bradley)

"Stark, Tully, Lannister, Baratheon... Give me one good reason why I should waste a single thought on any of you."

Lord of the Twins and a bannerman to House Tully, though not a particularly loyal one.

Tropes:

  • Ambiguously Evil
  • The Bluebeard: While he doesn't seem to be murdering wives, he's obviously going through them pretty quickly. The head of House Tully is reported to have not attended the last several weddings. It's not unrealistic to assume his past wives died in childbed. [3]
  • Dirty Old Man: Married a fifteen-year-old on his 90th birthday, who's just the latest of quite a few wives.
  • Embarrassing Nickname: In-universe known as "the Late Lord Frey" due to his army not arriving at the key battle of Robert's Rebellion until it was already over. It's also appropriate in light of his great age and refusal to die.
    • Robb seems to be of the opinon that if allied with, he can count on Lord Frey's army to show up to do battle... eventually. He also notes that by not showing up with the Banner-men were called, his nickname once again rings true.
  • I Want Grandkids: It's less about the grandkids and more about getting his children married off and out of his hair. (He has twenty-something.)
  • Jerkass
  • Old Man Marrying a Child: His new wife is a fifteen years-old girl.
  • The Patriarch: One gets the impression that he overcompensates for the lack of respect he receives from the rest of Westeros by demanding it in spades of his very large and very cowed family.
  • Screw Politeness, I'm a Senior!
  • Wild Card

Prostitutes

Ros (Esme Bianco)

A popular prostitute at Winterfell, who later heads to King's Landing.

Tropes:

  • An Offer You Can't Refuse: In "The Night Lands", Littlefinger tells her to stop sobbing or bad things will happen.
  • Ascended Extra: Hard to believe she started out as just "Redheaded Whore."
  • Break the Cutie: In season two. First Littlefinger hints that he'll kill her if she can't stop crying over the murder of Mhaegen's baby, and then Joffrey forces her to torture another prostitute. And now Cersei's keeping her as a hostage for Tyrion's good behaviour, after having her roughed up a bit.
  • Canon Foreigner
  • Chekhov's Gun: That Lannister necklace she's wearing was given to her by Tyrion. This is what leads Cersei to believe that she is the whore that Tyrion has fallen in love with.
  • Cold-Blooded Torture: Forced to perform it on Daisy by Joffrey, under threat that she will get the same if she refuses.
  • Heroes Want Redheads: Villains do too.
  • Heroic Blue Screen of Death: Has a minor breakdown after seeing the Goldcloaks murder a baby belonging to a fellow prostitute.
  • Hidden Depths: While most characters dismiss her as just a regular prostitute, its frequently shown that she's actually quite on the ball and highly savvy. Littlefinger apparently noticed this and has appointed her as his right hand woman by the second series.
  • High-Class Call Girl
  • Hooker with a Heart of Gold: In "The Night Lands", her sincere crying after the assassination of baby Barra contrasts with the reactions coming from Cersei (it's bad but it had to be done), Tyrion (it's a bad political move) and Littlefinger (it's bad, but crying is bad for business too so shut up).
  • Miss Kitty: By the second season she has become Littlefinger's right hand woman and trains the new prostitutes.
  • Ms. Fanservice: In the first season, at least. Thus far in season two, she's kept her clothes on.
  • Servile Snarker: She doesn't hesitate to put Theon in his place even after they've just concluded a transaction.
  • Throw the Dog a Bone: After spending most of the season being traumatized, threatened, abused and held hostage, Ros' situation finally starts looking up in "Valar Morghulis," when Varys offers her a business partnership.
  • Trauma Conga Line: Ros is having a BAD year. Witnessing infanticide, being threatened by Littlefinger to be sold to a deviant, being stuck in a room with Joffrey, and now kidnapped by Cersei to keep Tyrion in line. Canon Foreigner or no, it's hard not to feel a bit sorry for her.
  • Village Bicycle: Well, Cast Bicycle by now. In a way that makes her sort of like The Gump, if Forrest Gump slept with a lot of famous people. She has been a lover to Theon and Tyrion, was going to be Jon Snow's "first time," and gets to listen to a very plot-important monologue from Littlefinger while he has her practice with another prostitute. She's also "hired" by Pycelle. Plays neatly into her other role on the show:
  • The Watson: she gives several characters someone to explain things to without resorting to As You Know. This method of Info Dump has become so prevalent that reviewers have started describing it as "sexposition", and Ros seems to be its main victim (perpetrator?).

Mhaegen (Antonia Christophers)

A prostitute established in King's Landing and mother of Barra, another of Robert Baratheon's bastards.

Tropes:

Aremca (Sahara Knite)

Another prostitute at Littlefinger's brothel.

Tropes:

Daisy (Maisie Dee)

A new prostitute at Littlefinger's brothel.

Other

Brienne of Tarth (Gwendolyne Christie)

"I fought for my king. Soon I'll fight for him in the battlefield. Die for him if I must. And, if it pleases you, Brienne's enough. I'm no Lady."

A tall, masculine looking woman that feels more comfortable wearing a suit of armor than a dress. Originally introduced as a warrior sworn to King Renly, she's now sworn into service to Catelyn Stark (but not House Stark, as she insists).

Tropes:

  • Action Girl: Oh yes.
  • Adaptational Attractiveness: In the books, she is considered hideous by everyone who meets her, with an overly broad face, a nose that's been broken several times and so upturned to look somewhat pig-like, an overly wide mouth with crooked teeth, and lips so big they look swollen. In the series, Gwendolyne Christie is made up to look more plain, including some minor facial scars, but overall she's not as hideous as her written counterpart.
  • Ascended Fangirl: Renly offers her anything she desires as a reward for moping the floor with Loras; Brienne asks for a position on his Kingsguard. In later episodes, she reveals that she was quite sweet on him.
  • Badass: Introduced in a duel in which she bests Loras Tyrell, who is widely considered one of the most skilled fighters in the Seven Kingdoms.
  • Because You Were Nice to Me: The reason for her crush on Renly, since he's one of the few people who hasn't judged her based on her gender and looks.
  • Berserk Button: Does not take kindly to rapists. At all.
  • Bodyguard Crush: On Renly, judging from her reaction to his death. She later rues the fact that she only held him once, as he was dying.
  • The Cynic: In the books she was slightly more naive; what we've seen of her in the show so far hints at a more jaded, cynical personality. For instance, she's under no illusions about Jaime surviving the night after his escape attempt, and when she happens upon three hanged victims of the Stark army she's saddened but by no means surprised.
  • Died in Your Arms Tonight: Renly dies in her arms after being stabbed by Melisandre's shadow-son. Brienne later tells Catelyn that this was the only time she was ever able to hold him.
  • Establishing Character Moment: Defeats Loras in their duel using her size and strength, spear-tackling him to the ground.
  • Heroic BSOD: Again, Renly's death. Cat manages to take her out of it in time to escape Renly's camp.
  • Incompatible Orientation: With Renly, and she's ignorant of his real sexuality.
  • In-Series Nickname: Brienne the Beauty, an Ironic Nickname.
  • Insistent Terminology: Does not like to be called "Lady" Brienne.
  • Ironic Nickname: Brienne the Beauty. The men consider her to be unattractive.
  • The Ladette
  • Lightning Bruiser: Both very big and strong (the actress who plays her is 6'3" in real life) and very fast (after losing her weapon she is able to defeat Loras by ducking inside his defenses and taking him to the ground before he can bring his weapon to bear to defend himself).
  • Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: She plays the Masculine Girl to Loras' Feminine Boy.
  • No Guy Wants an Amazon: A victim of this, and the reason she's in love with Renly is because he's one of the few men who's nice to her and doesn't judge her based on her gender or looks.
  • Pay Evil Unto Evil: Further evidencing the darker take on her character in comparison to that in the books, she seems to have no issue doing this when a trio of rapist Stark bannermen confront her and Jaime on the way to King's Landing, absolutely wrecking two of them before killing the ringleader by driving her sword through his crotch, making a point of killing him as slowly and painfully as possible.

Brienne: Two quick deaths. (castration)

  • Samus Is a Girl: Very briefly. Her gender isn't clear to viewers until Renly asks her to remove her helmet; when she does it elicits gasps from the crowd.
  • Tomboy and Girly Girl: With Catelyn. Lampshaded by Brienne herself when she comments that Cat has courage, "not battlefield courage but a woman's kind of courage..."
  • Undying Loyalty: Proud servant of Renly. [4]
  • You Can't Go Home Again

Gendry (Joe Dempsie)

"When I hit that steel it sings. Are you gonna sing when I hit you?"

A bastard son of King Robert who works as an armourer's apprentice. Befriends Arya when they both have to flee King's Landing in Yoren's group of Night's Watch recruits.

Tropes:

Hot Pie (Ben Hawkey)

"I knocked him down, and I kicked him in the balls, and I kept kicking him until he was dead."

An orphan living in King's Landing recruited by Yoren to join the Night's Watch. A former baker's apprentice and later travelling companion of Gendry and Arya Stark.

Tropes:

Hot Pie: I've seen lots of battles! I saw...

Arya: Liar.

Hot Pie: I saw a man killing another at a tavern in Flea's Bottom. Stabbed right in the neck.

Lommy: Two men fighting is no battle.

Hot Pie: They got armour on.

Arya: So?

Hot Pie: So if they got armour on, it's a battle.

Lommy: No, it isn't.

Hot Pie: What does a dyer's apprentice know about battles, anyway?

Arya: Gendry's an armourer's apprentice. Hot Pie, tell Gendry what makes a fight into a battle.

Hot Pie: It's, uh, when they've got armour on.

Gendry: And who told you that?

Hot Pie: A knight.

Gendry: How'd you know he was a knight?

Hot Pie: Wells, cause he's got a-armour on.

Gendry: You don't have to be a knight to have armour. Any idiot can buy armour!

Hot Pie: How'd you know?

Gendry: Because I sold armour!

Jaqen H'ghar (Tom Wlaschiha)

"You stole three deaths from the Red God. We have to give them back. Speak three names, and the man will do the rest."

A Faceless Man and criminal from the Free City of Lorath, detained in King's Landing and carried in a cage to the Wall.

Tropes:

  • Affably Evil: He's far more personable than the other two criminals in the cage we meet him in, but he still must have done something pretty bad to be thrown in with them.
  • Badass: When you can kill every guard at the Harrenhall gates without being heard or seen, then prop the bodies up like they're still on duty, you definitely qualify.
  • Crazy Prepared: Carries poisoned darts on hand just in case he needs to kill someone immediately without time to prepare.
  • Dressing as the Enemy: When Arya next meets him he's wearing the garb of a Lannister soldier. He doesn't make clear if it's just a guise or he has joined them, however.
  • Loophole Abuse: The third person that Arya names is Jaqen himself, in order to get him to help her, Gendry, and Hot Pie escape. He is both understandably perturbed and at the same time apparently quite impressed at her audacity.
  • Morphic Resonance: His voice.
  • Multicolored Hair: White and Red. [5]
  • Professional Killer
  • Scarily Competent Tracker
  • Secret Keeper: He knew all along that Arya was a girl.
  • Offscreen Moment of Awesome: When he kills every Lannister guard at the Harrenhall gates and props the corpses up to make it look like they're still alive, unseen.
  • Offscreen Teleportation: "Valar Morghulis" shows him to be quite adept at this.
  • The Other Darrin: Played by an unnamed extra, with his face covered by a piece of cloth, in the Season 1 finale. Also, in the Season 2 finale, once he transforms his face.
  • That Man Is Dead: During his final meeting with Arya, Jaquen deflects the request that he stay with a remark of "Jaqen is dead." For good measure, he alters his face almost immediately afterwards.
  • Third Person Person: Jaqen rarely says the word "I", usually referring to himself as "a man" while in conversation.
  • Three Wishes/Balancing Death's Books: In a way. He offers Arya three deaths for saving his life and the lives of Rorge and Biter.
  • Voluntary Shapeshifting
  • What the Hell Is That Accent?: Apparently, the Free City of Lorath lies in Germany. Lampshaded in "Blackwater", wherein Cersei pegs Shae (played by a German actress) as Lorathi based upon her accent.

Rorge (Andy Beckwith)

"Where is your stick now, bitch? I promised to fuck you with it."

Another violent criminal caged with Jaqen H'ghar.

Tropes:

Biter (Gerard Jordan)

Yet another criminal caged with Jaqen H'ghar and Rorge

Tropes:

Lommy Greenhands (Eros Vlahos)

An orphan living in King's Landing recruited by Yoren to join the Night's Watch. A former dyer's apprentice arrested for thieving.

Tropes:

Lord Beric Dondarrion (David Michael Scott)

A young Lord sent by Ned to hunt down "The Mountain". The head of House Dondarrion as well.

Tropes:

Marillion (Emun Elliot)

"The lion ripped his balls and / the boar it got the rest."

A travelling troubadour and singer.

Tropes:

  • Composite Character: Marillion's mutilation at King Joffrey's orders for a song that ridicules King Robert happens to an unidentified troubadour in the books.
  • Exact Words: "I'll never sing it again I swear!"
  • Sadistic Choice: One of his songs earns the wrath of King Joffrey because it ridicules the late King Robert's death, his mother and Joffery himself. Joffrey forces him to choose between losing his tongue or his hands. After Marillion states that every man needs hands, Ser Ilyn Payne cuts out his tongue.
  • Tagalong Kid: Tags along with Catelyn Stark to the Eyrie.
  • Wandering Minstrel

Tobho Mott (Andrew Wilde)

A master armourer and blacksmith living in the city of King's Landing.

Tropes

  • The Blacksmith
  • Cold-Blooded Torture: Averted. After Joffrey orders all of Robert's bastards to be killed, he is threatened by the Gold Cloaks with burning his face on the embers if he doesn't reveal Gendry's whereabouts. He does and escapes unharmed.
  • The Mentor: To Gendry
  • Parental Substitute
  • Shoo the Dog: Implied to have done this to protect Gendry.

Wisdom Hallyne (Roy Dotrice)

"Our Order does not deal in pig shit!"

The head of the Alchemists' Guild. Also known as Hallyne the Pyromancer.

Tropes

  • Absent-Minded Professor
  • Bunny Ears Lawyer: And to think he has the power to burn the whole capital city to the ground...
  • Casting Gag: Dotrice employs the very same voice he gave Hallyne for the ASOIAF audiobooks.
  • Dude, Where's My Respect?: During his discussion with Bronn he mentions that during the times of Aerys he wouldn't have been insulted.
  • Large Ham
  • Mad Alchemist
  • Pyromaniac: A little too enthusiastic about the properties of wildfire. For good measure, when the wildfire's finally used during the siege at King's Landing, while everyone else is staring at the the resulting explosion in horror and amazement, Hallyne is grinning and giggling to himself.
  • Wizard Beard

Back to the main character listing

  1. ↑ He and Littlefinger deliberately conspire to ensure this, with Littlefinger mentioning that it was left to them to stop Robert and Renly from sending a Faceless Man after her; if they just put out promises of lordships and gold for the death of Daenerys, some idiot would immediately jump the gun and bungle it, putting the Dothraki on guard against more competent attempts. If they'd sent a Faceless Man, Daenerys would just be dead.
  2. ↑ In the books it was Tyrion and Shagga, son of Dolf, and Shagga did cut of his manhood... Which, in a brilliant little piece of Un Entendre, it turns out meant the beard.
  3. ↑ In the books, he is on his ninth wife, and he has easily more children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and bastards. A common saying is that Walder Frey is the only lord in Westeros who can produce an army entirely from his breeches.
  4. ↑ This is in part because she has an unrequitted crush on him, which in turn stems from the fact that Renly is the only man that ever was nice to her.
  5. ↑ The right half of his hair is red and the left half is white. When the TV crew tested this appearance they didn't like the results and changed it instead to different locks of white and red hair all mixed together.
  6. ↑ He's a cannibal raised by Rorge in a clandestine animal fighting ring.
