Character Review: Tywin Lannister

 Tywin Lannister is the head of the House Lannister situated on the Casterly Rock. He was the one who was the Hand of the King Aerys Targaryen as well as fought from the rebellion side to abduct the King.
A highly capable administrator, Tywin served as Hand of the King to Aerys II Targaryen for twenty years until the Mad King, driven by envy and distrust, rejected Tywin's proposal to marry his daughter Cersei to Prince Rhaegar and made his son Jaime a member of the Kingsguard. As members of the Kingsguard are forbidden to marry, Aerys had effectively robbed Tywin of his heir, which Tywin perceived as a great insult and resigned. During Robert's Rebellion Tywin remained neutral, answering neither the summons of the King nor the calls from the rebels, until the Battle of the Trident, after which it became clear that the rebels would win. Tywin marched with the full power of Casterly Rock to the capital, feigning that he had come to defend it from the rebellion. Aerys' advisors urged the King not to trust Tywin, even Jaime Lannister, who knew his father would never back the losing side in a war.
Jaime Lannister was then commanded by Aerys to bring his (Jaime's) father's head. Getting angry from this command, Jaime Lannister killed Aerys Targaryen. Thus, since then Jaime was called as a kingslayer, or, sometimes, oath-breaker. 
To recapitulate, Tywin is characterized as a greedy feudal age lord who can kill anyone for his power, or in other word he is always ready to take power.

Character Review: Baelon Greyjoy

Baelon Greyjoy, the ruler of Iron Islands and the father of Theon and Yara Greyjoy, was murdered by his own brother, Euron Greyjoy. He has a very less part in this series. Baelon can be considered a helpless father, who received his own son’s pen*s as a parcel from an enemy, who held captive of his son. He even dies of his own brother’s hand on a bridge. Baelon’s brother tries to murder even his nephew and niece. I assume Euron Greyjoy will die from the hand of Theon Greyjoy. Next, Baelon is also a helpless father when his son was taken by the Starks and the Baratheons as a captive for the misdeed the Greyjoy performed by supporting the Targaryen’s during the Great War for Seven Kingdoms. In conclusion, Baelon was unlucky from the very start of the series and had achieved very less until when he died.

Character Review: Sandor Cleagane

Sandor Clegane, also referred to as 'the Hound' is a knight in the famous series of Game of Thrones. His first depicted duty was a member of Kings Guard, or to protect the King from any harm. Sandor Clegane's main duty was with the King, Joeffrey at the time, but he left the red keep. He later resigned himself because he thought that fighting someone else's war while the main person whom it matters sits on a safe place would be worthless and honor-less to him. Sandor Clegane has a scar of fire in his head. His head was burned by his brother because he was playing with one of his brother's toy. Now his only aim remains to kill Gregor Clegane, his own brother-- as revenge. It can be seen that his burned face always makes him remember about his evil brother. To recapitulate, Sandor Clegane was a great knight whose only aim remains to kill Gregor Clegane, his own brother, as depicted by the series so far.

Character Review: Tyrion Lannister

Tyrion Lannister, depicted as an imp or dwarf or the half man in the famous series of Game of Thrones, acts as a great adviser in most of his counsel. He is the son of Tywin Lannister and brother of Jaime Lannister and Cersie Lannister. He could be characterized as the most open minded person in this series. Tyrion Lannister is famous for his mind refreshing quotes. Some are: 1.      “We’ve had vicious kings and we’ve had idiot kings, but I don’t know if we’ve ever been cursed with a vicious idiot boy king!” 2.      “I try to know as many people as I can. You never know which one you’ll need.” 3.      “Oh, “monster.” Perhaps you should speak to me more softly then. Monsters are dangerous and, just now, kings are dying like flies.” 4.      “It’s not easy being drunk all the time. If it were easy, everyone would do it.” 5.      “Every time we deal with an enemy, we create ...
