Game of Thrones

I wouldn´t say that he´s truly evil. He´s more out for personal gains and does everything to improve his own position, including betraying and manipulating those who trust him.
While Varys for example claims to do everything he does for the sake of the realm, Littlefinger is motivated by gaining as much power as possible by any means necessary.
This of course, doesn´t make him a "good guy" but still a highly interesting and fascinating character. It´s lots of fun to follow him but I wouldn´t want to be in his crosshairs if I were an ASoIaF character. ^^

Littlefinger is probably the character I like least. He creeps me out. Everything he says are just lies to further his goals. And while in that respect he's quite like Cersei, at least Cersei is predictable. Littlefinger is not. He's probably the most dangerous character in the books.

[Ts4EVER]

He pulls all the strings.

Lots of people seem to prefer Littlevinger above Varys. I personally just adore Varys. Of course that realm talk is bullshit, but the conversation near the dragon skulls makes it all clearer.

Ah, but that's where most of his victims fall into his trap where they see Cersei's coming. Not everything is a lie. Blackmail doesn't work that well if the leverage is a lie. He's too smart that let that happen

Varys is a bit like him, but more focused on survival, not so much gain. If you make people really like you, they find it hard to meddle with you. Littlefinger cares less about that, he's got a castle full of leverage to protect him. I don't trust either of them hehe, but I sure as hell don't trust Varys, it's a front, a mask.

Man, slow day at work, I should have brought part I

Varys follows quite another goal.
Let´s just say, that there´s another contestor for the Iron Throne, one who has a better claim than all Lannister-offspring and Cersei. And Varys wants him on the throne, because he´s convinced he´d be a better ruler than the alst few kings.

Speaking of kings. I´m not sure if Rhaegar Targaryen would´ve been such a great king, as some always say. Too bad we will never find out...

[Fuchs]

Too kind perhaps, like Aegon the Unlikely.

arya on the throne please

[Lightning]

You'd have a blood-thirsty homicidal ten-year-old on the throne?

[Fuchs]

Well a good, honest, efficient and chivalrous King would be a bit boring, right?

[hOMEr_jAy]

We saw how much joy the reign of Joffrey I. has brought over Westeros and its smallfolk.

Robert I. reign on the other hand was relatively peaceful except for the odd rebellion or two, but nearly ruined the realm, so both have their pros and cons.

Pretty good version of the House Targaryen family tree. Really usefull if you want to know more about the former rulers of Westeros. Might contain some minor spoilers, but also cool pics.

Daemon Blackfyre (and his line), Brynden Rivers and Aegon V have all sweet sweet lore written about them, but sadly it would most likely spoil something. Especially Brynden Rivers' :/

Otherwise I'm quite happy about the casting at the moment.
