This is just a guy sitting on a throne and a guy giving his back to the camera. I see no Dragon or anything of the sort here. Not even the caption is much aid here. I think it needs the pull.

Current:

The true mastermind behind an Evil Empire doesn't always sit where you think he would.

Great example, bad image. I'm not sure how to pic this.

It's better than nothing. It looks to me like the guy on the throne is the one in power, since he's, you know, on a throne. But since he's a kid, the regal looking guy looks like the power behind the throne.

It's weak but it's not just a face. There's a child on the throne and an older man who might be more experienced in rulership because he's older. It would be better if the older one looked, "smarter, stronger or more skillful (and almost always scarier)," but being older is something.

He's also literally looking down on him.

I don't think this falls under JAFAAC. Keep Until Better Image Suggested.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

The quality is kind of lame, which brightening made more obvious I think. Can anyone recapture? Or tell me what episode that is from, and approximate time.

I think the picture pretty well captures the trope. Someone obviously regal is seated in a throne, and yet squirming and looking up to the shadowy, scaly-clothed figure looking down at him. The one thing that it doesn't show is that the standing figure is the seated figure's second in command.

It's from Season 3 episode 1, halfway through the conversation between Joffrey and Tywin (immediately after Joffrey makes the complaint about having to climb stairs).

...Though I will say that this trope, The Man Behind the Man, and The Starscream could be effectively pictured similarly.

Keep Until Better Imagine Suggested. I'd say that the quote should stay as the example's good and the image is bad, but that's another discussion altogether.

The consensus to this point has been Keep Until Better Image Suggested...if we don't actually get a suggestion in the next day or two, I'm gonna close this.
