Formerly serving as the Master of Coin at King's Landing, Littlefinger is one of the two central manipulators (the other being Varys) occupying the political background of Westeros. Much like Mance Rayder, he was active in gaining his own power. He is second to none in ambition: he yearns to be on the Iron Throne to be noble. Indeed, he made his own sigil, the mockingbird, to separate himself from his family and forge his own potentially regal destiny. This also reflects a key truth about Littlefinger: he seeks only to advance himself and cares little for others, void of sympathy. Littlefinger's ambition assuredly lead to his position as Master of Coin, and as Master of Coin, he not only enjoyed some institutionalised power but also amassed a substantial sum of money as the owner of a brothel. He navigated both the political and business scenes in King's Landing to amass power both institutionally and monetarily. With this business and political experience, Littlefinger has been seen to climb the social ladder amidst chaos. He manipulated Ned into his own imprisonment and eventually his death by bribing the City Watch. He has weaselled his way as the Lord of Harrenhal after brokering a treaty between the Tyrells and the Lannisters. He also utilised a gay prostitute to spy on Loras Tyrell. In this way, he has capitalised on his business and political reputation to gain potential institutionalized power.
