History Characters / GameOfThronesHouseLannisterHousehold

* AdaptationalHeroism: Not "heroism" so much since he is still a creepy and brutal thug, but this depiction of Rorge is still '''infinitely''' less monstrous and despicable than his book counterpart, whose crimes are comparable only to Ramsay Snow and Gregor Clegane.

-->'''Bronn''': Give men ten good men and some climbing spikes, I'll impregnate the bitch.

* ArcherArchetype: Fills this spot in "Blackwater", and is as good as you'd expect.

* AdaptationalHeroism: While still very much OnlyInItForTheMoney, compared to the books he is friendlier towards Tyrion, even going as far as to ask Jaime to defend Tyrion when the latter is accused of murdering Joffrey. And while Bronn ultimately abandons Tyrion in both versions, he's more apologetic about it. He also has some genuine friendship with Podrick, which wouldn't be in character for the colder book counterpart. His moment of admitting he would kill a child, is also verbatim from the books, but it plays more as [[EveryoneHasAPrice he needs a lot of money to agree to do it]] compared to the not very latent sadism of Bronn in the books. He even genuinely cares for Jaime, ultimately risking his life to save him from being incinerated by Drogon, and then dragging him off the bottom of a lake to safety. [[spoiler:Implied in the series finale that now he's given a Lordship with one of the best positions a man of his stature could ever hope for, he seems to put his cutthroat ways behind him for good and is fully willing to help rebuild Westeros for the better.]]

* GreenEyedMonster: Despite being genuinely protective of Sansa, she is still jealous of her being Tyrion's wife. This paranoia never really leaves, even when it becomes clear Tyrion did not consummate their marriage. Sansa is young, pretty, and (as far as King's Landing knows) heir to Winterfell. She's everything a low-born prostitute fears she cannot compete with in the long run.

** Ultimately completely subverted in "The Children", in which she's found in Tywin's bed, calling him "My Lion", the same nickname she gave Tyrion. She then tries to kill him. She was ultimately only a whore in the end.
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Her final act is to have Tyrion sentenced to death... Via publically humiliating him, with mostly unnecessary lies. Its clear after all that her only interest in him the whole time was money. When Tyrion strangles her, it's not exactly a heartbreaking death.

* FatalFlaw: Subverted with [(Greed}]: He nearly prioritises his gold over his survival during the Battle of the Goldroad but he ultimately puts that aside and survives.

* StraightMan: To Tyrion's more outlandish DeadpanSnarker-y.

* AdaptationalBadass: Bronn is a badass in the books, but he accomplishes far more impressive feats in the show. He is more gifted as a commander, as recognised by Jamie who pretty much makes him his second-in-command and most trusted confidant. He also fights and kills Dothraki, who are seen as one of the most deadly groups of fighters in the series, during the Battle of the Roseroad. During the same battle he even fires a ballista-shot at a dragon, being the only one to damage it during the battle.

* StraightMan: To Tyrion.

* BadassInCharge: Tyrion puts him in charge of the City Watch Goldcloaks in Season 2 until Tywin relieves him in, "Valar Morghulis". As of the end of Season 7, he has the highest kill tally of any character in the show so far: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKyL1lGMbiE 246]].

* JerkassHasAPoint:

** When he and Jaime are intercepted by some Dornish soldiers, he tries to avoid (or at least delay) a direct confrontation by coming up with a cover story about their being stranded. If Jaime hadn't [[CriticalResearchFailure ruined]] it, he might have succeeded.

* EveryoneHasStandards: Although he is a hired killer, some things disgust even him. He recognizes Joffrey as a vicious sadist, is horrified by what Tywin did to Tyrion's first wife, calls out Ser Meryn Trant for brutalizing those who are weaker than him, and tends to show disdain in general for those who WouldHitAWoman (despite his ''first kill'' being a woman, albeit one who attacked him with an axe first). Played with when Tyrion asks him if he could kill a baby as Janos Slynt did; Bronn admits that he'd probably still do it depending on the payment--though to his credit it takes a {{Beat}} for him to think about it at first.
