phbahia Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I was just curious who would you pick? It can be from the past or the present and does not necessarily need to represent what the Kingsguard stands for (skill, honor, loyalty, and such). Feel free to pick whoever you want. Or maybe a rainbow guard member or something like that? Personally my favorite is Arthur Dayne, I find the whole Sword of the Morning thing so cool.

James Steller Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 The problem with Arthur Dayne is that he watched Aerys slaughter and torture people on a whim, and he did nothing.This is why I pick Jaime Lannister because the one good deed he did for most of his life was saving hundreds of thousands of people from burning to death.I hate Jaime for most of his other traits but killing Aerys was a good thing.

cyberdirectorfreedom Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I pick Jaime, but he's my favourite character, even including everyone outside the Kingsguard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sifth Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Barristan and Jamie. The two with the most character development, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batbob45 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Balon Swann-he got the skills and is more deserving than most members of the current KG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BitsOfBrains Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Dunk, unless he evolved into a Targaryn later in life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sword of the Morgan Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Jaime is my favorite character, so this was an easy call for me. But I really like what I hear of Arthur Dayne as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibzit Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Dunk in history but currently, Balon Swann or Loras are the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorey Targaryen Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Ser Arthur Dayne does sound cool from what we know of him, but my vote goes to Ser Jaime Lannister. Why: He's a complex character who turns out to be a guy who's just trying to do good (bar everything he does for or because of Cersei).I wasn't too keen on him at the start (what happened to Bran and all) but he makes a good point when he speaks of the various and conflicting duties as a Knight (to his King, his Family and to the People) in relation to killing Aerys. Which duty do you stay true to when they come into conflict? Barristan Selmy holds the duty to the King as paramount and as a member of the Kingsguard. Makes sense, however, Jaime sees it as much more complicated than that because he personally witnesses the evil and cruelty of the King he has sworn to serve. Which duty do you uphold when your King threatens to kill a great number of innocents and orders you to kill your father? Jaime chose to save Kings Landing by slaying a King who threatened to burn his people to ashes. In hindsight, you could say that this left the door open for more Kings who were arguably equal to or worse than Aerys. However, in the moment that he killed Aerys, he showed that he has the conviction to do what needed to be done to stop evil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LogicalLeopard Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Jaime. Its absolutely mindblowing that he's the only member of the Kingsguard that KILLED the king. And he's STILL there, punching in under Barristan Selmy, going, "Morning fellas, is there any coffee left?" Day after DAY. And his sister gets an assist on killing the next king. Absolutely bonkers.

Broken Meribald Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 This thread needs more Criston Cole! Respects his vows by denying Princess Rahenyra who at the time was said to be the most beautiful female in the realm. Takes some balls, he goes on to win tourneys and be master-at-arms and train generations of Targs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
