Master of Coin · King's Landing court

Petyr Baelish (Master of Coin) is a character in Game of Thrones, part of King's Landing court. Petyr Baelish — Littlefinger — rose from a minor holding on the smallest of the Fingers to Master of Coin on the king's small council, a self-made man in a realm that worships birth. Fostered at Riverrun as a boy, he loved Catelyn Tully, dueled her betrothed Brandon Stark for her hand, and carries the scar and the grudge. He owns brothels across King's Landing, knows everyone's debts and appetites, and cheerfully advises men not to trust him. Few listen.
