This is Tyrion Lannister's world, and everyone else is just living in it. He's the only man to have a massive impact within every family, house, or race he's encountered. Killing Tywin led to the Lannister's current demise, and taking a seat on Daenerys' newly-formed top table are his two most recent ploys, and there'll be many more to come from him. Tyrion is Martin's favourite character, and there's a distinct air of inevitability that he will be 'rewarded' with the most heart-wrenching, glorious death seen on-screen. One theory suggests that Tyrion's understated scene with Jaime before the trial by combat has something to do with it all. "Matricide, patricide, infanticide, suicide," utters Tyrion. His mother Joanna died giving birth, he killed his father Tywin, some have speculated whether he could even end up being involved in the death of Tommen, leaving only suicide left on the 'list'. Too much has got to happen between now and the ultimate finale, a stage Tyrion is firmly expected to grace, but suicide in a world full of evil would be a gritty, disturbing, heart-breaking death, which is exactly the way George R.R. Martin likes to operate. Who's next to meet their end? And how do you think they'll go? Let us know.
