Sandor Clegane is a member of House Clegane. He is the younger brother of the current head, Ser Gregor Clegane. He is nicknamed the Hound for his fierce nature and unquestioning obedience to his masters and for the three dogs featured in his family's arms. In the television adaptation Game of Thrones he is played by Rory McCann.
The Hound is considered one of the most dangerous fighters in Westeros. As a child, Sandor received gruesome facial burns when Gregor shoved his face into a brazier. He came to loathe fire, his brother, and the hypocrisy of knighthood in general.
Sandor is the bodyguard and servant of Prince Joffrey Baratheon, who regularly calls him "Dog". Queen Cersei Lannister suggests that he looks to the Hound as a surrogate father. En route from Winterfell to King's Landing, Sandor earns the enmity of Arya Stark by acting on Lannister orders to kill her friend Mycah, the son of a butcher, who is believed to have harmed Joffrey.
Sandor rides well during the first day of the Hand's tourney, unhorsing Lord Renly Baratheon. After that night's feast, Joffrey has Sandor escort Sansa Stark back to the Red Keep. Drunk, despite the final jousts the next day, Sandor becomes enamored with Sansa. Angry that she cannot look him in the eye due to his disfigurement, he mocks her for her polished manners, calling her a "little bird" who chirps on command.
Sandor defeats Ser Jaime Lannister to advance to the finals.Sandor saves Ser Loras Tyrell from the wrath of his brother, Gregor Clegane, during their joust. He fights heatedly with his brother, but kneels when King Robert I Baratheon commands them to stop. Loras allows Sandor to be the champion without a final joust, and the Hound is cheered by Sansa and the smallfolk.
Sandor speaks in a rasping voice.He has a temper,but is dutiful.
When Lord Eddard Stark attempts to take Cersei and her illegitimate children into custody with the help of the gold cloaks—unbeknownst to the fact that Commander Janos Slynt is already under the employ of the treacherous Petyr Baelish—Sandor participates in the widespread slaughter of Eddard's remaining household guard alongside his erstwhile allies, personally killing Cayn.
The Hound also takes Jeyne Poole into custody, placing her in Sansa's room, after breaking down her door with a warhammer.
After Ser Barristan Selmy is dismissed from the Kingsguard, Sandor is named as his replacement despite refusing to become a knight.In this capacity he is often assigned to watch over Sansa, treating her with relative kindness and trying to spare her from Joffrey's sadism.
Sandor is a huge and heavily-muscled man. The left side of his face is gaunt, with sharp cheekbones and a heavy brow, while the right side is a burned ruin with a stump for an ear.Slick black flesh is pocked with craters and deep cracks that ooze red and wet.
The scars extend down to his throat. There is a twisted mass of scar around his right eye, which is still good. Sandor's nose is large and hooked, and his long hair is dark and thin and brushed so that it covers the right since no hair grows there. Sandor's eyes are grey and bone shows on his jaw.
Sandor left to join the Lannister household the same day Gregor came into his inheritance. He claims to have killed a man when he was twelve years old, possibly during Robert's Rebellion, as he was part of Tywin Lannister’s host during the Sack of King's Landing.Sandor has never taken a knight's vows.

Catelyn Stark
Lady Catelyn Stark née Catelyn Tully,is the wife of Eddard Stark, Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North. Together they have five children: Robb, Sansa, Arya, Bran, and Rickon.
Catelyn was born into House Tully of Riverrun, the liege lords of the riverlands. She is the eldest daughter of Lord Hoster Tullyand Lady Minisa Whent, and has two younger siblings: Lys and Edmure. She is a major POV character in the books and is portrayed by Michelle Fairley in the television adaptation Game of Thrones.
Catelyn is beautiful, with fair skin, long auburn hair and blue eyes. She has long fingersand high cheekbones. Catelyn resembles her own mother, Minisa Whent. Her own sons Robb, Bran and Rickon, and daughter Sansa take after Catelyn in their coloring.
Catelyn is proud, strong, kind, and generous. She is seen as honorable and upright by acquaintances, holding duty over desire as a governing principle of behavior. Catelyn also has a strong grasp of politics and possesses considerable insight into what makes Westeros run. Nevertheless, Catelyn is also a fiercely protective woman and more often than not follows her heart rather than her head, especially when it comes to her family, whom she loves deeply. She strongly follows the words of House Tully, "Family, Duty, Honor. However, she regards the bastard Jon Snow as an outsider to her family, and has never forgiven Eddard Stark for bringing him into the Stark household. She holds to the Faith of the Seven. Catelyn is the eldest daughter of Lord Hoster Tully, the Lord of Riverrun, head of House Tully and Lord Paramount of the Trident, and his wife, Lady Minisa Whent. She was annointed with the seven oils and named in the sept of Riverrun.
Catelyn had two older brothers, who both died in infancy, causing her father to regard her as his heir until the birth of Catelyn's younger brother, Edmure. Catelyn also has a sister, Lysa, who is two years younger than her. Catelyn was raised at Riverrun. She was close with her sister Lysa, and would play with her two younger siblings, as well as with her father's young ward, Petyr Baelish. Just as her younger siblings and Petyr were wont to do, Catelyn would go to her uncle, Ser Brynden Tully, with her tears and tales, whenever Lord Hoster was too busy, and Lady Minisa was too ill.When Catelyn's mother died in childbirth, along with her son, Lord Hoster told his daugther that she had to be the Lady of Riverrun in her mother's stead.
Catelyn does not have many memories of her mother, though she still remembers her warm smile and soft hands.Her relationship with her father was a close one, and according to Catelyn, Lord Hoster cherished her best of all his children. Whenever Hoster would ride off to court or a battle, he would tell Catelyn to watch for him from the battlements of Riverrun, which she did. And when his eyes tired, Hoster would have Catelyn read to him in his solar. Catelyn and Lysa played together as girls, and even had a secret language. Once, they made mud pies and served them to Petyr, who ate them and as a consequence was sick for a week. Catelyn and Lysa also practised kissing with Petyr in the godswood of Riverrun, where Petyr attempted to stick his tongue in their mouths - an attempt which Catelyn halted, but Lysa both allowed and enjoyed. Catelyn often accompanied her father on his travels, and had visited the inn at the crossroads on multiple occasions. Once, Catelyn, Lysa and Petyr accompanied Hoster to Seagard.
During the journey to the seat of House Mallister, they stopped at Oldstones, where Catelyn had played at being Jenny of Oldstones, while Petyr had pretended to be her Prince of Dragonflies. On their way back from Seagard to Riverrun, Catelyn and Lysa got lost in the mist, and were eventually found by Petyr Baelish.

Jon Snow

Jon Snow is a fictional character in the A song of Ice and fire series of fantasy novels by American author George R.R. Martin, and its television adaptation Game of Thrones. He is a prominent point of view character in the novels, and has been called one of the author's "finest creations" and most popular characters by the song of Ice and fire.Jon is a main character in the TV series, and his story line in the 2015 season 5 finale generated a strong reaction among viewers. Speculation about the character's parentage has also been a popular topic of discussion among fans of both the books and the TV series.
Jon is introduced in 1996's A Game of thrones as the illegitimate son of Ned Stark, the honorable lord of Winterfell, an ancient fortress in the North of the fictional kingdom of Westeros. Knowing his prospects are limited by his status, Jon joins the Night's watch, who guard the far northern borders from the wildlings who live beyond The wall. As the rest of the Starks face grave adversity, Jon finds himself honor bound to remain with the Watch.
"Some woman, no doubt. Most of them are." He favored Jon with a rueful grin. "Remember this, boy. All dwarfs may be bastards, yet not all bastards need be dwarfs."
He joins a scouting party investigating the growing threat from beyond the Wall, and manages to infiltrate the wildlings. Jon learns of their plans to invade Westeros in A strom of Swords, and begins to fall in love with the fierce wildling woman Ygritte. He betrays them—and Ygritte—before they can attack, but the Night Watch's victory comes at a heavy price for Jon. Now the Lord Commander of the Watch, he appears briefly in 2005's A feast for Crows. Jon returns as a prominent character in A dance with Dragon(2011), working to negotiate an alliance between the Night's Watch and the wildlings. The growing animosity he has attracted from among the Watch finally catches up with him, and he is forced to face the dire consequences.
In A Game of Thrones, Jon Snow is introduced as the 14-year-old bastard son of Eddard Stark, Lord of Winterfell, and half-brother to Robb, Sansa, Arya, Bran and Rickon. Jon is described as having strong Stark features with a lean build, long face, dark brown hair and grey eyes. Jon has the surname "Snow" (customarily used for illegitimate children in the North) and is resented by Ned's wife Carelyn, who views him as a constant reminder of Ned's infidelity.Jon is the same age as Robb and enjoys a warm relationship with his siblings, particularly the tomboy Arya (who resembles Jon and like him does not feel like she fits in). Ned treats Jon as much like his other children as propriety and his honor will allow. Still, as somewhat of an outsider, Jon has learned to be independent and to fend for himself when necessary.Jon idolizes his father, but is wounded by Ned's refusal to tell him about his mother.At the beginning of the story, Jon adopts the albino direwolf that he names Ghost. He later finds that at times he can "inhabit" the wolf and share its experiences.

Cersei Lannister
Cersei Lannister can be categorised as the most awesome antagonist, playing in the series "Game of Thrones". The character is played by an English actress and film producer, Lena Headey. Cersei is acting Queen of the Seven Kingdom currently on regiment after the demise of her son,Tommen and daughter-in-law, Margery and widow of Late King Robert Baratheon and is involved in the relationship with her twin brother. She is the most badass character in the show. Cersei's true motive is that she sees her blood(children) as an extension of herself for she isn't capable of adoring someone who isn't herself.
"Love is a poison. A sweet poison,yes, but it will kill you all the same."
She's always wanted them to carry her legacy and build an empire of Lannisters. This actually proves how she is intrigued in building a bloodline empire which pretty much sums up why her one true love is her twin brother, Jaime.
From the beginning of the show, she has given a perfect reasons to hate her, be it throwing a boy from the top of the tower because he saw Cersei and Jamie together or presurring the king Robert into ordering the execution of the direwolf, Lady. Plotting the death of his husband, Robert Baratheon and arresting Eddard Starks as a traitor, she seized the power.

Tyrion Lannister
Known for having mind boggling effect on the mind of the audience, Tyrion Lannister is an exhilarating character with a great sense of humour. The character is played by actor Peter Dinklage in the series 'Game of Thrones'. Tyrion is the member of House Lannister. He is the third and youngest child of Lord Tywin Lannister and the Late Joanna Lannister. His older siblings are Cersei Lannister and Jaime Lannister.
Tyrion is a dwarf who often is mokingly called 'The Imp' and was underestimated his whole life. His mother died giving birth to him for which his father and sister,Cersei, never forgave him. At the beginning of the series he was always surrounded with prostitutes in some brothel. He also fell in love with a prosistute named 'Shae', but that will come later. From being the hand of the King in the absence of his father and then Master of Coin in the small council to being accused for the murder of his nephew the king- Joffery Baratheon and being choosen as the hand of the queen, the character has developed as well as learnt a lot.
"Everything is better with some wine in the belly."Tyrion is a character who has always been judged on the basis of his size and strength and his family name. Unlike his other family member he had a heart of gold. But he was accused many times for the sin he did not commit. He was locked in the prison for many days for being accused of the murderous attempt of Brandon Stark, Son of Eddard Stark and Catelyn Stark. He was kind of rescued in trial by combat by Bronn, Tyrion promised to make him rich as 'Lannister always pays his debt.' He ruled the kingdom under the king of seven kingdom -Joffery Baratheon'. He served justice for sometime until his father return and he was given the post Master of Coin in the small council.He was married to the older daughter of the Stark Family. He was accompanied by his servant Podrick Payne. People still don't know what he did with the prostitute, Tyrion gifted him.
"A mind needs books like a sword needs a whetone."Tyrion has been a brave character as he demanded 'Trial by Combat' for the things he did not do. Losing trial by combat he was rescued by his older brother Jaime Lannister and Lord Varys, a member of Small Council. He killed his father with a crossbow, because Tywin knowing that Tyrion was innocent he sentenced him to be guilty and Shae for betraying him with his father. His journey has taken a twist which is not very surprising in the series- Game of thrones. He then was sailed across the sea to Daenerys Targaryean, wife of Later Khal Drogo and daughter of the mad king.
He helped her making various decisions and thereafter was appointed as 'Hand of the queen'.
Tyrion has developed a lot in these years and grown more brainy because he drinks and know things.

Arya Stark- The Daughter of Winterfell
Arya Stark-the daughter of winterfell, one of the major character in the Game of Thrones series is played by British actress Maisie Williams. Arya is the third child and younger daughter of Eddard and Catelyn Stark. She has four sibling: an older brother Robb,two younger brothers Brandon and Rickon, and an older sister, Sansa. She grew up with Jon Snow, whom She assumed was her half-brother although he is her cousin.
Arya is an unusual girl, she acts much more like some inborn-warrior, preferring to engage in mock swordplay and exploring the woods than learning needlework and other lady-like pursuits. She rejects the idea that she must one day put on a dress and potentially marry a man she doesn't love for political reasons of money and pFrom the first episode she is drawn to traditionally male oriented past time and talent shows for them. She easily outperformed her brother Brandon in archery practices. Being somewhat different from other family members, she was considered as 'Black sheep' in her family. She had a special relationship with yet other 'black sheep', the bastard Jon Snow, who gave her a little sword which she named 'needle'. She had a direwolf which she called Nymeria. She once had to chase off her direwolf as a dangerous situation had occurred and she didn't want Nymeria to be killed. A bruise is a lesson and each lesson makes us better, Arya only grew ever since in both physical and mental perspectives.
"A bruise Is a lesson… and each lesson makes us better." -Arya Stark
From being a passionate child in the initial season to having drastic circumstances and experiences throughout the other seasons until the fifth season that has recently been out, Arya Stark has been much braver and courageous. She admired her father the most. Seeing her father's head beheaded, she learned to grow even stronger. She has great teachers and great enemies too. Syrio forel, a bravoosi Swordsman taught her Water Dance, a type of swordsmanship. Jaqen H'ghar, also known as the faceless man trained her about death and survival through cruelty and hardship. But time and circumstances were actually her best teacher. She had been both fortunate and unfortunate, be it escaping from death or seeing her mother and brother murdered just before they were to be united.
Arya Stark might be the character that has suffered many harsh situations and also came over all of them in through the series. Having made friends and having killed a number of people, Arya has turned some enemies into friends as the Hound and also recognized how some enemies could so effortlessly disguise as a beloved friend. Arya Stark from every projections she has been through, now in almost the ending seasons, has come up as a much stronger potrait who is completely fearless. She has in divisions understood not just games of life, death and survival but also politics and warship.
She might have very much in store for her fans in the upcoming seasons. Arya Stark however has drastically developed and the Starks might be changing the 'game of thrones' that has been prolonging so long for now. Having had the fear of how winter's coming too, we audience are now to watch how things roll up and how not just Arya but other characters too get along and into.
"Nothing’s worth anything to dead men." -Arya Stark
