With all vying for the coveted Iron Throne.

Like most Lannisters, Tyland is only looking out for himself.

Hoping to rise in the ranks of nobility by marrying princess Rhaenyra while cozying up to the king.

Unfortunately for Tyland, he succeeds in neither pursuit.

Being outplayed by far better and more conniving members of the court.

He can only be trusted in the sense that whatever he does will somehowbenefit him and his family.

Mysaria

First seen as Daemon’s concubine, Mysaria has shown to be more than just that.

Acting as a new master of whispers of sorts.

Subtly crafting her own connection of spies.

Ser Cristin Cole

The once honorable Kingsguard now turned disgraced lapdog for the queen.

Ser Cristin has gone through quite the roller coaster ride this season.

Starting off as a humble knight who was handpicked by princess Rhaenyra herself to be her personal protector.

Now, Cole is a spiteful man who protects the queen and follows her every order.

Both reveling in their hatred for Rhaenyra.

Cole also trains the king’s sons to become great warriors.

Aegon tends to do what most princes do when they have no ambition: drink and talk to girls.

Queen Alicent

And we thought Cersei was bad.

An unsettling prospect for anyone.

This causes Alicent to lash out at her ex-best-friend and create a further rift between the two.

He’s even giving Littlefinger a run for his money.
