1. Joffrey
   Renly
2. Robert
   Stannis

We all love to hate Joffrey Baratheon, and we all learn in the first season that Joffrey isn't even a Baratheon. Though he has said title, he is actually the bastard child of Jamie and Cersei Lannister.

1. Arya Stark
   Gregor Clegane
2. Bran Stark
   Jon Snow

Everyone wanted to see Jon Snow and Daenerys come together and make sweet love. However, by the time they did, we finally learned the truth about Jon's parents, and in learning that truth, we learned that Dany was Jon's aunt.

1. It's his aunt.
   It's his twin sister.
2. It's her uncle.
   They aren't related.

The logic Cersei Lannister gives for bedding her twin brother is the fact that they shared everything together, including the womb, so why not the bed? Plus, Targaryens do it all the time, so no biggie, right?

1. The Imp
   Pod the Stud
2. The Hound
   The Keeper

The Hound is an interesting character throughout the series. First, we hate him for killing the butcher's boy, then we love him for saying "F* the king." But we love him the most for protecting Arya while she needs it.

1. Ravenclaw
   Stark
2. Lannister
   Baratheon

Brandon Stark wanted nothing more to be a knight. However, a fall out the window made it so he could no longer use his legs. He then honed in on his seeing skills, and ended up on the Iron Throne.

1. Viserys Targaryen
   Drogon
2. Shae
   He didn't have a son.

Khal Drogo did get Daenerys Targaryen pregnant, but the baby didn't live through child birth. He was supposed to be the Stallion Who Mounts the World, but that actually ended up being Daenerys in the end.

1. Tormund Giantsbane
   Gilly
2. Podrick
   Tommen

It isn't brought up much (mostly because there aren't a lot of grandparents in "Game of Thrones"), but Tywin Lannister is technically Tommen's grandfather on both sides, which makes him a double grandpa.

1. Roose Bolton
   Rob Stark
2. Theon Greyjoy
   Stannis Baratheon

Ramsay Bolton was a bit of a psychopath throughout the show, and if you've read the books, you know that his father (Roose Bolton) wasn't much different. Roose is the one who betrayed Robb Stark at the Red Wedding.

1. Arya
   Lady Sansa
2. Lady Walda
   Lady Melissandre

Lady Walda was Walder Frey's daughter (one of many). Walder Frey offered Bolton his wife's weight in silver to marry her, so Bolton chose the heaviest child, and thus he became a pretty rich man.

1. Ser Gregor
   Ser Ilyn
2. Ser Barriston
   Tyrion

Ilyn Payne is the King's Justice in the beginning of the show (the guy with his tongue cut out), but then he just disappears. Podrick is a distant cousin of his, and is sent to King's Landing to squire for Tyrion Lannister.

1. Elaria Sand
   Arya Stark
2. Elia Martell
   Nymeria Sand

We never get to meet Elia Martell, but she is the reason Oberyn gets his face smashed. Oberyn wants to avenge her death, and killing the Mountain is the way he is going to get that revenge. Of course, he almost does it, but has to get the Mountain to admit to his crimes, which leads to his demise.

1. Robb
   Stewart
2. Brandon
   Petyr

Ned Stark had one brother and one sister. His sister was Lyanna and his brother was Brandon. While we don't get to meet them in the show (they're already dead), we do get to see flashbacks of these two essential characters.

1. Arya Stark
   Eddard Stark
2. Catelyn Stark
   Brynden Blackfish

Catelyn Stark does make a few big mistakes in the first season of the show. As a matter of fact, anyone who listened to Petyr Baelish (ever) was making a big mistake. That dude really liked watching the world burn.

1. Catelyn Tully
   Lysa Tully
2. Walda Frey
   Sansa Stark

When we first meet Lysa Arryn, we start to recognize that she's a bit off her rocker. It is explained just a little bit better in the books, but she has her reasons for being a little paranoid.

1. Edmure Tully
   Robb Stark
2. Tyrion Lannister
   Tywin Lannister

Many don't know who actually got married at the Red Wedding. The Red Wedding was actually the union of Edmure Tully and Roslin Frey. Robb offered up his uncle to the Freys to ensure peace after he went back on his word.

1. He's her husband.
   She's his great-grandmother.
2. She's his mother.
   He's her father.

In the books, Hodor's real name is Walder. However, in the show, Hodor's real name is Willys. In the episode "Hold the Door," we learn how Hodor became Hodor and what really happened. And then we all cried.

1. Talla and Dickon
   Smalla and Dickon
2. Walda and Dickon
   Milla and Rickon

Samwell Tarly's father sent him to the wall for not being man enough to kill animals. He basically told Sam that if he didn't go to the wall, he'd be killed in a hunting "accident" the next time they went out. Great father figure, for sure.

1. Melda
   Cersei Lannister
2. Lyanna Stark
   Missendei

In a fascinating turn of events, we learn that Ned Stark is not the father of Jon Snow. As a matter of fact, his sister Lyanna is Jon's mother. Lyanna ran away with Rhaegar Targaryen (starting a war) and married him then had his baby.

1. Asha
   Osha
2. Marshyl
   Theon

We all hated Theon in the beginning of the series. As a matter of fact, it wasn't until Ramsay Snow (Bolton) started torturing him that we realized he paid his dues and he's OK to be a good guy now.

1. Kevan
   Petyr
2. Tywin
   Tyrion

Kevan Lannister is Tywin Lannister's brother, making him Cersei, Jaime and Tyrion's uncle. He was the last one to hold any common sense in King's Landing, before Cersei had him killed (of course).

1. Myrcella
   Meera
2. Tyriona
   Fiona

We don't hear much about Howland Reed in the show, but his name is brought up time and again in the books. They say his castle moves, and he is impossible to find. This is probably why showrunners didn't think to include him in the series.

1. They're cousins.
   They're brothers.
2. They're father and son.
   They're Elia's parents.

Oberyn and Doran don't get along very well, but they are still brothers. When their sister Elia was murdered, Oberyn wanted justice, whereas Doran wanted to stay out of the fighting altogether.

1. Tyene Sand
   Lyanna Stark
2. Elia Martell
   Arya Stark

Elia Martell was married to Rhaegar Targaryen before he ran off with Lyanna Stark. They had two children, who are thought to be dead (murdered with their mother). Rhaegar didn't think to tell people who he loved in order to stop a war, which was poor planning on his part.

1. Jeor is Jorah's son.
   Jeor is Jorah's father.
2. They are not related.
   Jeor is Jorah's cousin.

Jeor Mormont (better known as Lord Commander Mormont) led the Night's Watch through some pretty bad stuff. It takes a second to realize that he is the father of the guy who is helping Dany get across the sea and take over the Seven Kingdoms.

1. Renly's brother
   Myrcella's cousin
2. Cersei's father
   Joffrey's father

After Robert Baratheon dies, Stannis technically has the best claim to the Iron Throne. However, what he does to make that claim gets him killed and makes him a pretty unlikable character.

1. Petyr Baelish
   Margaery Tyrell
2. Tyene Sand
   Oberyn Martell

Lady Olenna (also known as the Queen of Thorns) is Margaery and Loras Tyrell's grandmother. She is one firecracker of a lady, and she makes no excuses for the way things are in her life. We thank her for taking care of Joffrey for us.

1. Merlin
   Arya
2. Selwyn
   Oberyn

We never meet Selwyn Tarth. He is a lesser lord who doesn't make his way into the story very much ... except to explain who Brienne is. We know that he is invited to some of the larger events, which is how Brienne danced with Renly.

1. Allard
   Stannis
2. Gendry
   Davos

Ser Davos had two sons. They both fought for Stannis. We all know and love Davos as the man who stood next to multiple kings to help them keep their feet on the ground. However, he never seems to persuade them.

1. They're cousins.
   They're siblings.
2. They're married.
   They're not related.

Lyanna Mormont takes on the role of head of her house at a very early age. She has a lot to live up to, as her mother was a great warrior and fought for Robb Stark. That's what makes her so tough and what makes everyone love her.

1. They're married.
   They're siblings.
2. They're father and daughter.
   They're not related.

Gendry is a Baratheon whereas Arya is a Stark. They are both of noble houses; however, Gendry isn't legitimized until the final season of the show. While they could be 180th cousins up the noble name line, they technically aren't related at all.

1. Brandon
   Robb
2. Tommen
   Rickon

Robb Stark was the great hero of the second season of the "Game of Thrones" show. His shocking death reminded us that every single character on this show was in danger of dying at all times.

1. Targaryen
   Stark
2. Mormont
   Sand

When it comes to Targaryens, Maester Aemon was very low on the line of succession, so he took the black to make something of himself. Eventually, his number was called, and he decided not to even try to become king.

1. Ellan Martell
   Viserys Targaryen
2. Ellario
   Khal Drogo

When your name almost sounds like "dragon," you might just need to marry a dragon queen. Of course, this courtship didn't last long, as the Khal was killed because Dany was kind to a witch.

1. They're brothers.
   They're half brothers.
2. They're cousins.
   They aren't related.

Rickon Stark is Ned and Catelyn Stark's youngest child. Jon Snow is Lynna Stark's and Rhaegar Targaryen's legitimate child. This makes Rickon and Jon Snow (Aegon Targaryen) cousins.

1. Trystane
   Tyene
2. Doran
   Sunspear

Trystane Martell is the son of Prince Doran Martell. His betrothed is Myrcella Baratheon (thanks, Tyrion). He doesn't get a whole lot of screen time on the show, but the screen time that he does get shows him as a caring soul.

1. Tyesha Arryn
   Jon Arryn
2. Lysa Arryn
   Lyanna Stark

Lysa Arryn is a special kind of crazy. She is the one who sent the letter that convinced Ned Stark to go to King's Landing, and she is the one who killed her own husband. All of this led to starting a war.

1. Tyrion
   Tywin
2. Matthos
   Gendry

Whether you consider Robert Baratheon or Jaime Lannister to be Tommen's father, Tyrion is still his uncle. Tommen is a gentle-hearted boy who loves cats. He's pretty much the opposite of the rest of his family.

1. Jaime Lannister
   Robin Arryn
2. Tyrion Lannister
   Ramsay Bolton

When it comes to characters we love to love, Tyrion has been a fan favorite since the beginning of the show. He helps Jon Snow and keeps his feet on the ground as much as possible. And he drinks and knows things.

1. Aegon
   Brandon
2. Aerys
   Viserys

Aerys Targaryen was known as the Mad King. He wanted to burn the entire city down right before he died. However, Daenerys goes ahead and does that to ensure that all of her enemies are dead (but only after Cersei blows up the Sept of Baelor).

1. Gendry
   Joffrey
2. Robert
   Stannis

Robert Baratheon was originally betrothed to Lyanna Stark. After her death, he was obsessed with her, and Cersei was just a marriage that had to be done for the sake of the realm, making Cersei a pretty angry woman.
