Best A Song of Ice and Fire Characters

Tyrion Lannister should win in the end of the series and sit on the iron throne.He would be a worthy king.

He is a master in this game, given the right pieces.

BEST CHARACTER, his wit and humor never ceases to make me laugh

If all Lannister's were like him (or Jaime) they would probably be my favourite house, but Cersei and Joffrey made sure that never happens. Nevertheless he is a very smart and humorous character that is being put down by everyone. :(

I understand the hate for her in the show, but she's incredible in the books.

The most admirable character in a Song of Ice and Fire. She has all of her fathers best traits, his kindness and honor but adds an extraordinary level of perceptiveness, intelligence and an iron will that preserves her, despite her youth and inexperience through a series of ordeals that would break most characters in the series.

I honestly don't get the hate for her, I didn't really care for her in A Game of Thrones but A Clash of Kings onward she became one of my favourite characters.

I can't believe the hate she gets, I didn't really care about her that much in A Game of Thrones but A Clash of Kings and onwards, she was one of my favourite POVs

The character everyone hated in books 1 and 2 and then loved afterwards. The tragedy of Jaime is that in his heart he's a good man. He's a man who once believed in being a knight in shining armour protecting what he thought was right. He's branded for his actions and manipulated by most around him, the only Lannister who doesn't seem to actively seek out power. He's amazing, human, and not black and white, and that's why I love him.

By far the best character development. You go from hating him more than any other character and wanting him dead to loving him more than any other character and hoping he survives the series and gets his honour back.

People who are just starting the books always get mad when I say I love him. Well I do, and that's that. He is a very well written character, one who progresses quite nicely, and who I just end up rooting for. - NymeriaWaters

The tragic hero of the series, and the most humanized. As said before, his is perhaps the greatest character arc of any one there is. - ethangrossman5

I think that Jon Snow is probably one of the most relatable characters in this story. He was never really excepted as a Stark and in the first book tries to make something of himself by joining one of the oldest orders of rangers that protect the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros from the icy horrors of what lies beyond the Wall, where Winter lasts forever. Along the way he must spy on the Wildling army and send information back to the Wall, and I think that is was sad that he had to leave because of him and Ygritte. All in all, I believe that Jon's side of the Song of Ice and Fire series is the most relatable and emotional of all, next to the story of Robb, Talisa, Catelyn, Arya, Sansa, and all of the other Starks.

The Hero of the series, where he always does what's best but not without making some necessary and admirable sacrifice.

I can relate more to Jon than any character in the history!

Lord Snow is definitely the best character.

She's such a dynamic and underrated villain. Her chapters are AMAZING.

amazing

One of the only decent men in this world of monsters

Honorable even in death

He was a central character. Rip Lord Stark😢

I wish Martin used her as a point of view character in A Feast for Crows and A Dance with Dragons because she seems like a really interesting character, not to mention we need more interesting female characters.

Mr. Badass. I felt instantly attracted to this character. Street intelligence and a philosopher in disguise, got to love him. - Esteluki

God, he is so interesting. Prince of Dorne, sellsword in Essos, studied poisons in the Citadel and nearly(? ) defeated GREGOR CLEGANE! Need I say more?

"Elia Martell of Dorne! You rape her! You murdered her! And you killer her Children! Say her Name! " The Red Viper was the biggest bad ass in westeros and definitely my favorite character.

The red viper, fathering the sand snakes, nearly defeated GREGOR CLEGANE! Need I say more

Personally don't understand how anyone can like her. She was alright in A Game of Thrones but Clash of Kings and onwards I despised her

Maybe not my favorite, but she deserves to be up at the top.

Best character

I don't 'like' him but god do I respect the man, all he does is for his family and they throw it back at his face, the only thing I don't like about him is his unfair attitude to Tyrion (who is my favourite character)

Was the most important man in Westeros... so that is it!

cool

The beautiful, fierce, red headed Wilding is definetaly my favourite character, even though she doesn't really matter all that much...
