The second round is here! Sixty-four of the most prominent Song of Ice and Fire characters are left! Who is the best character GRRM has ever created?! The most votes per round wins and moves on in this bracket style competition. The contest will continue until the most popular character in Westeros is crowned!!!
This contest can be found on 2 different boards, but only one vote per user will be accepted. The two boards are: Books and Literature and Gamefaqs Contests. Any suspicious votes will be discounted. Each character will be supplied with a link to Wiki Song of Ice and Fire that briefly describes them and their accomplishments throughout the series. Theres a lot of characters in this series, my hope is that these links will remind users who did what and when.
If there are any further questions please feel free to ask and I will be happy to answer!!

(1)Daenerys Targaryen - Don't care about Illyrio, and do about Dany - it's not her fault I'm not a fan of her plot arc. (9)Sandor Clegane - As much as I want to be able to vote for Edd here, the Hound's clearly just a more nuanced character. (5)Tywin Lannister - Tough draw for Aemon (13)Tommen Baratheon - Still don't care about Victarion, and Tommen's appearances are generally good. But I'd probably vote for Ser Pounce over Victarion.

"For me it is her fault. Her plot arc would be awesome right now if she wasn't busy being a bad character."
(Probably DwD spoilers)
I don't get what she's done wrong from a character standpoint, it's just that unfortunately for her (And the reader who only cares about Westeros), her opposition to slavery has got her in a massive war far away from anywhere we give a damn about. Nothing bad in her character there, at least not for me.

(1)Daenerys Targaryen (Illyrio is interesting in concept, but he has yet to do anything worth putting him ahead of a prominent character in my book. Though I suspect that may change before the series is done.) (9)Sandor Clegane (Tough draw for Edd, but the Hound is just too awesome.) (5)Tywin Lannister (Tough draw for Aemon, but Tywin is just too awesome. Though for entirely different reasons than the Hound.) (4)Victarion Greyjoy (I probably would have voted anyone over any Greyjoy besides Theon and maybe Asha before ADwD, but Victarion is at least starting to get interesting. I'll be highly surprised if Tommen ever does anything cooler than slight and weak-willed backtalk to his mom.)
