Game Of Thrones: 12 Characters You Should Definitely Hate More

9. Tywin Lannister

This may just be a personal one, but I can't be alone in thinking Tywin Lannister is the world's coolest man? Total command, total control, total puppet master. The man is a backstage rockstar of the medieval political scene, and because of that, it's easy to forget how downright cruel he's been across multiple decades. He engineered the Red Wedding - that's surely enough evidence already to loathe him beyond repair - and on top of that, he's got a blatant disregard for his own son Tyrion, the one Lannister with a genuine thirst for peace. He unleashes The Mountain at every opportunity to wreak havoc, and while those deaths are all indirect, they're all traced back to Tywin. Top character, top actor, terrible man.
