Game Of Thrones: 10 Characters The Show Wants You To Forget About

8. Robin Arryn

Game Of Thrones Ghost
HBO

Depending on whether you’re Team Robin or not (and no one’s really Team Robin), then you either miss the tyrannical Lord of the Vale dearly or you’re hoping he fell down the Moon Door in his spare time. And while it may seem like just yesterday that Lord Robin was suckling at his mother’s breasts, that’s only because Robin Arryn was one of the most infuriating characters ever to appear on Game Of Thrones, and a fully grown child/teenager acting like a baby tends to leave an impression.

Regardless of your feelings for Robin, there’s no denying that the Lord of the Vale is a very powerful person, and as a result he should be a key player in the war to come. So why haven’t we seen him lately?

Part of that is that Littlefinger is currently acting as Lord Paramount, but with so few people trusting Littlefinger, it seems that it’s only a matter of time until Robin has to step out of the shadows and make some decisions of his own. Perhaps when that time comes Robin will come back into the spotlight, and maybe he’ll be less of a whiny little brat this time around. Or perhaps he'll grow into his whiny character traits even more, and when presented with full control of the Vale's forces he will chicken out and pull them from their vows, thus leaving Jon and the Starks with a depleted army to fight the white walkers.

Whichever way Robin makes his way back into the series, it'll be sure to annoy viewers and severely disrupt the best laid plans of every other lord in Westeros.
