Game Of Thrones is pretty much wall to wall political power players, but in the cutthroat kingdom of Westeros, everyone seems to have at least a handful of secret agendas, which will more than likely end with you getting shanked up at a party, or shoved out of a trap door.

For this reason, Olenna Tyrell is the perfect choice for a political partner. There's no denying her hunger for power, but she cares little for the spotlight.

Provided you're happy bending to the every whim of a caustic crone/national thespian treasure, there's little doubt the scheming Tyrell grand-matriarch would be two or three ploys ahead of the competition at any given time.
