Petyr Baelish, known as Littlefinger, is a character in the HBO series Game of Thrones. Born to a minor house, he rises through cunning and financial acumen to become Master of Coin and one of the most manipulative figures in the Seven Kingdoms.
A schemer who prizes chaos as a ladder, Baelish plays every faction against the others: he betrays Eddard Stark, helps ignite the War of the Five Kings, orchestrates marriages and murders, and later leads the Knights of the Vale into the wars of the North. His intrigues eventually catch up with him at Winterfell.
