Bronn: Great fighter, all about the paper, came from the hood and became a rich knight. He's pragmatic and honest. He has the right attitude for this chaotic, medieval environment. Even though he didn't back Tyrion up against The Mountain, he had a good reason. I think he would have killed The Mountain and succeed where Red Viper failed, particularly because he wasn't trying to avenge a dead sister and wouldn't hesitate to land the fatal blow.

Dead: The Hound. He was such an awesome character. Such subtle progress through his journey, and explorations into a man who was not who he seemed to be. His soft spot for Sansa was one of the first moments where I realized he was more than this ruthless barbarian blindly following orders (on some Chris Partlow s---). The story behind his scars really humanized him as well, however, it wasn't until he crossed paths with Arya that he truly fell into a new rhythm. He was feared by almost everyone, and on top of that, he was funny as f---. He never bit his tongue, and occasionally a random murder or two (usually started as self defense but ended up on levels of brutality that would make Mortal Kombat's development team jealous) would further solidify his true nature. His last battle with Brianne was epic, and his ending was fitting. Begging Arya to k--- him when he couldn't bait her into it through threats. He was definitely one of my favorite characters on any show, ever.

Alive: While Tyrion is universally loved by fans for his wit, scheming abilities, and you just can't help but root for the guy. However, it is his brother, Jaime, who fascinates me. At the end of the day, these stories are about progression of a character through the highs and lows rather than just giving people someone to cheer for. He starts out as a prick. Just a high born lad, known for losing his inheritance in favor of protecting the king (one of whom he murders). When he isn't busy protecting royalty, he also fancies swordfighting, killing people, bragging to strangers and of course, f---ing his twin sister doggy style in random towers. The fact that the entire story begins around the murder of Jon Arryn after he begins investigating Joffrey's true lineage. I'm not gonna sit here and summarize his entire storyline.

He has several defining moments. Losing his hand, banging his sister, watching his king/son/nephew die of poisoning, raping his sister on top of their dead son. Anyway, I need to edit this sometime when my motor skills aren't going on strike.
