I like the character, but he's not terribly relevant.

Some would argue that he might be the most relevant character in the entire series.

Any number of people have basically described the entire story as being nothing more than the chess match being played between Littlefinger and Varys.


I've never really bought into that argument, especially because the two would at most have limited knowledge of the others' machinations and Littlefinger would have little insight into Varys's motives (unless the books reveal differently). Plus Littlefinger's plotting would essentially amount to a Xanatos Roulette whereas most of Varys's actions have been more grounded.

And keep in mind that most of Littlefinger's schemes actually benefit Varys. A weakened, fractured kingdom allows Dany, etc, to easily claim the throne. Meanwhile Littlefinger's machinations just help him climb the ranks in the established, but weakened order
