King of Winters Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 I think Doran Martell is the closest Godfather type figure in ASOIAF. He's worked for years to bring down the Lannisters, and had plans and back up plans for years, Arianne is sort of like Michael Corleone where she's quite inexperienced at first (with trying to crown Myrcella and failing) but then learns from her father and becomes better at "the Game" and goes to see (F)Aegon; and Doran has the Dornish army ready and waiting in the Prince's Pass and the Boneway.Agree, disagree? Who do you think is the cloest Godfather figure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhymes with Weak Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 He'd be the greatest Godfather ever if he can get a useful application for the Sand-Snakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franbatista123 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Ned is the closest that there was to the Godfather. Family was always first and he always made sure they were satisfied, and made sure to always be with them, unless duty made him go somewhere else. All he did he did for the family. Like the Godfather did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejhawman Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Littlefinger is the most effective player, but he does not have, or value, family.There are several Godfather-like family managers in the Seven Kingdoms. Really, Corleone was an old-style family head, an anachronism, a throwback to an earlier age. In Westeros, it STILL IS that earlier age.The Queen of Thorns seems to come to mind first, but I am sure there are others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
di229 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Tywin Lannister or the Queen of Thorns. Only 2 options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grand old duke of stark Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Tywin. He is obsessed with the continuance and dominance of his family, plays his cards cagily, is ruthless when necessary and machia-vellian by instinct. Family man and proxy murderer--he's the Godfather.

Zell Holland Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Gotta agree with Tywin or Queen of Thorns for the profile of Godfather. For Sonny Corleone, take a pick from Cersei, Victarion, Robert Baratheon, Brandon Stark, Oberyn Martell and maybe Jaime pre AFFC. For Fredo, maybe Theon. Michael Corleone, maybe Tywin, Walder Frey, Roose Bolton in terms of general ruthlessness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arya kiddin' Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 People are pretty selfish there. I don't see anyone being the godfather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Antony Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Yeah Tywin would be the closest fit to Don Vito. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E-Ro Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I dont like saying tywin=the godfather because the godfather is extremely sympathetic(imo ofc, he is a criminal so others may disagree) and tywin is just really mean and terrible in his methods, far more so then either vito, or micheal.

Mark Antony Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Yeah the Don is way more sympathetic I agree but still if I had to make a comparison id say Tywin fits the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeBronn Stokeworth Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Lord Tywin reminds me of Gustavo Fring from Breaking Bad. The closest to a Don Corleone or Tony Soprano type to me is Bloodraven or Galazza Galare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sullen Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Oh God, now I'm going to read all of Doran's lines in a Marlon Brando voice.Not sure, if it's a good or bad thing yet... still, thanks a lot, OP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flig Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Tywin is definitely the Godfather type. Interestingly enough, Jaime also makes a damn good comparison to Sonny when he's still got his hand. Go after my family? I'll attack you in the streets.
