Tyrion Lannister has one of the best stories in Game of Thrones, but it could’ve been pretty different based on George R.R. Martin’s original ideas. Tyrion is one of the characters to survive from the beginning to the very end of Game of Thrones. Few typified the show’s title better, as Tyrion’s journey took him from King’s Landing to Meereen and all the way back, serving as Hand of the King/Queen to no fewer than three different monarchs, and being a true lover of the game.
