If they are never certain who you are or what you want, they cannot know what you are like to do next. Sometimes the best way to baffle them is to make moves that have no purpose, or even seem to work against you."[/i] [b][u]Name:[/u][/b] Petyr Baelish [b][u]Affiliation[/u][/b] Lannister, though he appears to have a more ominous agenda of his own. [b][u]Age:[/u][/b] 35 [b][u]Occupation/Position[/u][/b] Master of Coin for the Lannister's gambling dens, Brothel Owner, Investor [b][u]Personality[/b][/u] The Master of Coin known as “Littlefinger” is a self made man. Incredibly smart and suave, he ascended the social ladder as if he were merely climbing a tree. To him the game of thrones is just that: a game. But make no mistake, this charming and witty man holds incredible power over finances and people. Petyr is very secretive with his intentions and he is able to see farther ahead than anyone else in terms of planning. He seems to have a natural ability to charm people and bring them to his side, but it is all an act. He is in actuality a cold, ruthless, and intelligent person. [b]Drinks:[/b] Petyr does partake in bit of drinking, though never to the point where he's drunk. All sorts of things could come tumbling out of his mouth... [b]Greatest Strength:[/b] Ambition and an affinity for gold makes Petyr an excellent Master of Coin [b]Greatest Weakness:[/b] His penchant for working on his own could be his downfall if he is found out [b][u]Family[/u][/b] Mother: Unnamed Mother (Deceased) Father: Unnamed Father (Deceased) [b][u]Short History[/u][/b] Petyr Baelish's grandfather was an Italian hitman in the service of the Corbray crime family, who later immigrated to Las Vegas to take advantage of its large and profitable criminal industry. Baelish’s father was the smallest of small criminals who ran a racketeering business south of the region of the Vale in the smallest of the Fingers, a group of five high-rise apartments, unimaginatively nicknamed by its residents after their shape. His father later befriended Hoster Tully in the aftermath of a brutal gang war, which cemented an alliance between their criminal enterprises and eventually led to Petyr being sent to Hoster's estate of Riverrun to be fostered with his children after his father died, despite his lower-class upbringing. At Riverrun Petyr was fostered and raised alongside his social betters, the Tully children, Catelyn, Lysa and Edmure, who first gave him the nickname "Littlefinger" as a reference to his place of birth. As they grew older, Petyr fell in love with Catelyn, who in turn loved him as a brother, but nothing more. When Catelyn and Brandon Stark's engagement was announced, Petyr taunted the much older Brandon into a brawl. Brandon won easily, leaving Baelish with a serious wound which later became a rather disturbing scar, but spared his life in compliance with Catelyn's request. Catelyn did not speak to him afterwards and ignored his many attempts to talk with her. Lysa, on the other hand was in love with Petyr. Overlooking his obsession with her sister, one night, while he was drunk and miserable over Catelyn's rejection, she slipped into his bedroom and slept with him. Petyr, being heavily intoxicated may have mistaken Lysa for her sister, and had called her "Catelyn" that night. After getting injured severely during of his duel against Brandon Stark, Lysa helped nurse him for a fortnight, during which they slept together again. Lysa became pregnant with Petyr's child as a result of their second encounter. After Petyr was sent away from Riverrun to pursue other interests, Lysa revealed her pregnancy to her father, Hoster Tully, in the hopes he would relent and allow Lysa and Petyr to marry. Instead, Hoster forced Lysa to abort the pregnancy. Petyr maintained a relationship with Lysa in secret even after her marriage to Jon Arryn. Lysa convinced her husband to give Petyr control of customs at Gulltown, where he increased incomes tenfold. His skill with finances resulted in a series of appointments leading to his being named Master of Coin by Mafia Don Robert Baratheon. There his influence furnished him with many allies and contacts, including members of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. He also bought numerous brothels in the city to further fill his coffers and uses them as honeypots to gain secrets from clients, his network of spies and informants is only second to Varys'.
