**Lord AcidRocker** · July 17, 2012, 02:02 AM

USA is Pax Americana my friend the men behind the curtain are the royal family of all

**Mikail Mengsk** · July 17, 2012, 05:56 AM

The Hand of the King: Lord Tyrion Lannister (Lord Twyn is maybe an even better politician, but he's too hungry for power and doesn't really care about the people)
Grand Maester: Luwin. (i would have chosen Stannis' old maester, but he was too old)
Master of Coin: Lord Petyr Baelish(he knows the job)
Master of Ships: Victarion Greyjoy. (or Sir Davos Seaworth, he is maybe is a better advisor but has little experience over naval battles)
Master of Whisperers: Lord Varys (obvious one)
Master of Laws: Lord Eddard Stark (Stannis is too rigid, Eddard knows about justice but has the mental flexibility needed for the job)
Commander of the City Watch: Lord Stannis (can't think about someone more loyal to the service, and in this job he doesn't need to use his weak points)

The Kingsguard:
Barristan Selmy, Lord Commander
Jamie Lannister
Loras Tyrell
Brienne of Tarth
Oberyn Martell
Sir Bronn
Brynden Tully

**Son of Mars** · July 17, 2012, 07:43 AM

)

**Stannis Baratheon** · July 17, 2012, 08:41 AM

man, two more Tyrions... i prefer neither, but would put Tywin above Tyrion... he'd be unhappy on that place, more than wit is required to be Hand of the King. Total commitment and serious understanding of duty are also required to be really good Hand, especially in longer periods, and Tyrion is lacking in both areas, especially ADWD Tyrion. Even ACOK Tyrion was Hand only after few months, you can't put him in that position for lifetime only based on that. And while charismatic and symphatetic to most readers, Tyrion is very unfavorable with most Westerosi people. I'm sure noone would dare to throw dung on Tywin Lannister or Stannis Baratheon. Also Petyr and Varys' only place is rotting on a pikes, you can't "control" those and still have them work for you without plotting. Just my humble opinion.

**Xoxoman** · July 17, 2012, 09:06 AM

New reader here, my (small) council is also here..:

The Hand of the King: Tyrion Lannister (Deformed, he knows he would never get the power of his father so he just does his task.)
Grand Maester: Luwin (Didn't really know any others and Luwin seems loyal)
Master of Coin: Petyr Baelish (He just needs to be protected by a few of the Kingsguard..)
Master of Ships: Theon Greyjoy (Greyjoy, he should be a good sailor and you can trust him..)
Master of Whisperers: Varys (Although I will later probably choose another one as I can't trust him)
Master of Laws: Jon Snow. (A just person and I just like him)
Commander of the City Watch: Brynden Tully (Loyal man.)
Lord Commander of the Kingsguard: Barristan Selmy (To protect and serve!)

**Krazy_Welsh_Lad** · July 17, 2012, 01:03 PM

The Hand of the King: Kevan Lannister (tywin but without the ambition, perfect choice as far as im concerned)
Grand Maester: Aemon Targaryen
Master of Coin: Tywin Lannister
Master of Ships: Stannis Baratheon
Master of Whisperers: Ollena tyrell (Mace's mum)
Master of Laws: Tarly (sams dad) with ramsey snow as the head Goaler (no one would commit treasons if they knew they would be flayed)
Commander of the City Watch: Jon Snow
Lord Commander of the Kingsguard: Barristan Selmy

Brothers of the Kingsguard:

Garlan Tyrell
Arys Oakheart (just like the guy even if he is an idiot, just make sure he doesnt go near arriane xD)
Sandor Clegane
Jaime Lannister
Areo Hotah
Brienne of Tarth

**Lordinquisitor** · July 17, 2012, 01:10 PM

Kevan? He might have less ambition than tywin- But he compensates for it with love and obedience towards him. Making him the hand, while tywin is alive (ESPECIALLY if he`s on the small council, too) wouldn`t be different from installing tywin as the hand.

Littlefinger can't be kept on a tight leash.

Ok well then Tywin has a little accident

Kevan then doesnt have his brother to influence him but is a very obedient person but also has a lot of knowledge about how to rule thanks to being his brothers right hadn man for so many years

Also, he's not as good as a politician.

Again, Twin maybe an overall better ruler than Tyrion, but:

- he's hungry for power, he'll always try to take the real power for himself, either plotting to give the throne to himself or to his puppets
- he doesn't really care for people
- he's far more loyal to his own House than to the kingdom

Those (expecially the first one) are not good "traits" for an Hand of the King.

**Lord AcidRocker** · July 18, 2012, 02:39 AM

^Indeed; same reason I can't have littlefinger or varys on my small council

My opinions on those:

1 & 3 combined) He might be power hungry- But yet he served aerys for 20 years and the smallfolk loved him. He only did betray him once aerys had wronged him. If you don`t insult him and if he profits from you remaining in power he will be the most obedient one. Hell, as long as robert was alive he didn`t act against him, too, being content with cersei being the queen and her children succeeding robert.

2) He might no care for them; But he is simply so efficient that the smallfolk are being taken care of. Also his mentality to help defeated foes back to their knees is incredible valuable.

Well he was an egotistical douche with both hands, I think he is better as commander one handed because he has to think about things a lot more than he used to imo. I think your king would safer with one handed Jaime.
