Littlefinger gives an Info Dump on his background and raison d'etre framed as a speech to his whores about making their customers forget their true nature.After sitting out Season 3 and being fairly inactive in Season 2, when he is re-introduced in the Season 4 episode 'Mockingbird', he is shown using lowborn prisoners as practice dummies, swinging an enormous greatsword like it was a stick. Gregor 'The Mountain' Clegane kills Ser Hugh in a joust and later beheads his own horse and attempts to murder his opponent Loras in a fit of rage after being unhorsed in a tourney, all in plain view of the audience and the king, then engages in a ferocious duel with his brother Sandor and only reluctantly stops when the king commands it so.His lack of action in the first episode can be one as well when Tyrion slaps his royal nephew for being an obnoxious brat, he just stands there and watches with no intervention despite supposedly being Joffrey's bodyguard. While Sandor Clegane is in the first episode, he doesn't actually do anything until the end of the second, where he murders Mycah and shows absolutely no remorse.Joffrey doesn't say much and acts like a charmer to Sansa in the first episode, but by the second episode, he reveals his true nature by threatening Arya and her friend Mycah.While it's not his first scene, Jaime Lannister is really introduced when he shoves Bran out of a window with only a flippant little comment about 'The things I do for love', showing he is dangerous, doesn't mind harming children and will go to any lengths to protect his family.Then when he finally shows up to the feast, it's immediately clear that his nephew and niece adore him, showing the audience that despite being a Lannister, he's one of the good guys. Tyrion Lannister is introduced while he's indulging in the Winterfell brothel, having headed straight there instead of greeting everyone else, where his conversation with Ros cements him as a witty and affable dwarf.In an earlier scene, his love for his family is also shown in his willingness to discount himself so each of his siblings can have a direwolf pup (but, being part of the family, Jon ultimately finds his own pup too - an albino pup). Jon's conversations with Tyrion and his Uncle Benjen establish him being slightly resentful of his illegitimate status but as an aspiring warrior with dreams of joining the Night's Watch for the sake of honor and duty and to become a ranger like his uncle.

Ned also cements their relationship by responding to Robert's comment with an incredulous 'You're calling me fat?' look, which Robert thinks is hilarious. After riding into Winterfell like a stern, proud king, Robert Baratheon immediately shows his boisterous, jovial nature and brotherly affection for Ned in three words and a laugh: 'You got fat.' Their time together in the crypts cements the first impression.Theon is eager to kill the direwolf pups and immediately goes to slit one's throat in stark contrast to Robb, Jon and Bran's impulse to save them.Bran, although troubled by the execution, doesn't look away and understands his father's reasons for beheading the man.As Bran keeps missing the target, Arya hits it in one try from behind and farther away. She sneaks out to the archery range where her brothers Robb and Jon are trying to teach their brother Bran archery.

Arya is introduced as deathly bored by needlework.Sansa is introduced as sweetly accepting praise for her well-done embroidery.
