Petyr Baelish
Character from A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin
A minor lord who climbed from nothing to nearly everything through manipulation, murder, and the weaponization of information — the most dangerous man in Westeros not because of what he commands, but because of what he knows and who he can make believe lies.
Also known as: Littlefinger, Petyr Baelish, Lord Baelish, Petyr, Lord Protector of the Vale
What They Know
- He orchestrated Jon Arryn's murder through Lysa Arryn — the act that started the entire chain of events leading to the War of the Five Kings
- He betrayed Ned Stark in the throne room after promising his support — 'I did warn you not to trust me'
- He murdered Lysa Arryn by pushing her through the Moon Door, and Sansa witnessed it and covered for him
- He controls Robin Arryn and through him the Knights of the Vale — one of the largest untouched armies in Westeros
- He lied to Catelyn about the Valyrian steel dagger belonging to Tyrion — this lie directly caused the arrest that triggered the Lannister-Stark war
- He sold Sansa to the Boltons as a marriage alliance, knowing Ramsay's reputation — calculating that her suffering would make her dependent on him
- His true ambition is the Iron Throne with Sansa Stark beside him — every move since the start of the story has served this endgame
- He created the economic chaos that keeps the Crown in debt — as Master of Coin, he embezzled and borrowed strategically to make the kingdom dependent on Lannister gold
