== '''The Kingsguard''' ==
Line 11:
* [[Honor Before Reason]]
* [[Inadequate Inheritor]]: The current Kingsguard, according to Barristan Selmy. He makes his contempt known when Joffrey dismisses him:

** Hell, even the Kingslayer himself acknowledges this as true (and after Selmy is dismissed the appointees only get worse and worse with one exception), telling Loras Tyrell:
{{quote|
* [[Knight in Shining Armor]]: Played with. Many members are deconstructions, but some (Ser Arthur Dayne, the Sword of the Morning, Barristan Selmy, and Lord Commander Duncan the Tall) run it straight.
* [[Master Swordsman]]: Has featured several, such as Arthur Dayne, Barristan Selmy, and Jaimie Lannister.
Line 33:
* [[Badass Bookworm]]: Averted with Samwell Tarly, a bookworm and self-professed coward. Played a bit straighter after he becomes the first character in eight thousand years to kill an Other and becomes known as [[The Magnificent|Sam the Slayer]] (See [[The So-Called Coward]] below.)
* [[Badass Creed]]:
{{quote|
* [[Chaste Hero]]: Supposedly, although most of them still get around whenever they have the opportunity. This is tolerated by the superiors because trying to enforce the oath of chastity would do more harm than good, (and it has been pointed out that the oath prohibits [[Exact Words|fathering children, not sex per se]]).
** Mole's Town, the nearest settlement, apparently has several brothels that do quite good business with brothers that have snuck away for an evening.
Line 83:
* [[Laughably Evil]]: Shagwell and Vargo.
* [[Mad Doctor]] / [[For Science!]]: Qyburn, a disgraced maester.
{{quote|
* [[Monster Clown]]: Shagwell, the jester. The first thing we learn about him is that he killed a man for not laughing at his jokes.
{{quote|
'''Shagwell:''' Oh, I have, I have, I shan't deny it... but I'm ''amusing'', with all my japes and capers. I make men laugh.
'''Brienne:''' And women weep.
'''Shagwell:''' Is that my fault? [[Dead Baby Comedy|Women have no sense of humor.]] }}
** Their entire nickname references this trope. A "mummer" is a costumed entertainer (particularly a mime). That's why they're the Bloody Mummers: they're a whole brigade of wildly-dressed psychopaths.

* [[Warrior Monk]]
