Tyrion the imp for his witty comebacks and his scheming which has gotten him out of many rough situations and I also want to see what he does for revenge whenever the new books come out.

Petyr Baelish since it seems he is behind basically almost everything that has happened thus far in the story, yet no one would suspect he is the mastermind

I always like Jon Snow myself. I also like Daenerys.

GRRM is sure taking his time with the next book.

Richard and Nathan Rahl are also badass.
