1. Those without heads, Cannot betray mother. Those without tongues, Cannot curse another. Those without stag blood: Born of sister and brother.

Answer: Joffrey Baratheon

Joffrey Baratheon was a cruel and relentless ruler for the short time he held the crown under the guidance of his dear mother, Cersei Lannister. His intemperance led him to order the execution of Eddard Stark, against his mother's will. Nonetheless, Stark was beheaded and a war with Winterfell began.

Unknown to him, Joffrey was a child born of incest between Cersei Lannister and her brother, Jaime. Eddard Stark was killed before he could reveal that information. Stannis Baratheon used this fact as his rationalization that he is the true heir to the Iron Throne.

Her hair and eyes are red in color, as often is her garb. She has visions and utilizes other forms of magic, a rare sight in the Seven Kingdoms.

Answer: Barristan Selmy

Barristan Selmy (also known as Barristan the Bold) served the Kingsguard for most of his life until he was relieved by King Joffrey under the pretense that he was too old. Joffrey secretly wanted to add his own court members to the Kingsguard instead.

Jorah Mormont, of the bearish House Mormont, was forced to flee Westeros for partaking in the slave trade. While there, he took to serving Viserys Targaryen, and later Daenerys. He falls in love with her, but betrays her to Varys by feeding the latter information on the girl. Daenerys banishes him from her presence as a result.
7. A lady of "beauty" And noble birth. With a sword of duty And enormous girth.

Answer: Brienne of Tarth

Brienne was the sole remaining child of Lord Selwyn Tarth, and after his futile attempts to marry her off failed, she was sent to Storm's End. She has trained herself as a knight and earns a spot on Renly Baratheon's Kingsguard. When he is slain by a shadow, Brienne flees with Catelyn Stark, swearing fealty to her.

As she is bulky, tall and considered ugly, many call her Brienne the Beauty to mock her appearance.

Answer: Petyr Baelish

Petyr Baelish, or Littlefinger as he is often called, came from humble beginnings, but made his way up the social ladder to become the kingdom's Master of Coin. His climb forced him to lean on business of ill repute, including running brothels. His allegiances are known to change along with the party he considers to be in power at any given moment.

10. To get his crown He gave the khal a bride. And it was by the crown That the Beggar King died.

Answer: Viserys Targaryen

By the rules of succession, Viserys has the best claim to the Iron Throne, but the rebellion back in Westeros caused him to flee to Essos. He uses his sister Daenerys to buy the allegiance of Khal Drogo, who promises to give him the troops he needs to take back his throne.

He is killed, however, after he threatens his sister and her unborn baby by Drogo, who envelops his head in molten gold.
