Game Of Thrones: 10 Characters Who Could End Up On The Iron Throne

5. Petyr Baelish

Petyr Baelish's end-game STILL hasn't been truly unveiled, but it shouldn't come as any surprise if he does rise to the very top and claims the Iron Throne through charming courtesies, venomous plotting and an incredible grasp of Westeros' politics. He knows 'people', the right people, and has wormed his way up from nothing to a mighty height. But knowing Baelish's world-bending moves so far, he's not finished.

He's developing friends in the East with the sickly, young Robyn Arryn poised for a greater role, while Sansa is his key to the North.
