Game Of Thrones: 12 Greatest Anti-Heroes In Westeros

5. Littlefinger

Tywin Lannister Game of Thrones
HBO

Littlefinger is very possibly the most dangerous man in Westeros, capable of anything, afraid of nothing. He's already played a role in the deaths of the Hand of the King and an actual king, meaning nobody in his bad books is safe. His end game is still deeply shrouded in mystery, which also makes him one of the most exciting characters in the show. Is this all part of a masterplan, or is he improvising to reach his goal?

Either way, he carries out some politically insane moves, and his actions have resulted in the deaths of high and low born individuals alike. Baelish has shaped the world from the shadows and goes about his business in a 'for the greater good manner'. Without him, Sansa would be little more than a plaything for Joffrey to torture at will and without his intervention, Lysa would've thrown the Stark girl from the moon door of the Eyrie.
