There are few characters in Game of Thrones that are more singularly responsible for the political climate and power standing than Tywin Lannister. The influential and rightly feared head of House Lannister was responsible for the sacking of King’s Landing during Robert’s Rebellion, effectively ending the war, setting in motion the union between his house and the crown, and planting the seeds for nearly every major plotline to follow in the capitol. On the show, Charles Dance steals nearly every scene he’s in, commanding respect with his unnerving, contemplative mood. It’s a joy to watch otherwise powerful, formidable characters pause in reverence or fear in his presence, perfectly illustrated when Tyrion exclaimed, "You just sent the most powerful man in Westeros to bed without his supper." As a force of change, he consistently drove other characters to evolve since his introduction on the show – challenging Jaime to become his true heir, forcing Cersei to put her house before herself, and reminding Tyrion of his lack of worth. Tywin is perhaps the best example, and practitioner, of the political players in Westeros.
