It seems that everything will be changing at a rapid pace now I hope my feeble mind can keep up.
That just makes him a cardboard cliche type character, and unrealistic too as those kinds of always honorable in each and every situation type people just plain don't exist.

We always try and immortalise hero type characters, turning them into paragons of virtue and integrity.

But no such people really exist in the world, and certainly didn't back then, hence I find him a bit boring and fake. Just an always white character to whom the audience is supposed to relate as being the morally decent one.

The other characters are far more realistic.

So Littlefinger wants the crown for himself. Good on him, see that's what I want to see, a bit of authentic ambition.
