Arriguy
Sergeant Knight at Arms

Sure his scenes were annoying, but his failure to realize that Cersei was plotting something meant he believed in her, and that last moment of somber realization before he lights up seem to show he might have actually just been an old religious fanatic,(not that that's much better...) rather than a hypocritical church-powerplayer
I thought that was the point. He's not any better than the nobles he's claiming to be bringing justice to. He's blinded by his faith, and his goal isnt the good of the kingdom, it's to make the Faith the highest power instead of the monarchy. Presumably with him at the head. He's so far removed from the regular political workings of the kingdom that he can't fathom a future where he loses, because he has the gods on his side.
Valid point, hadn't thought of that.
Wonder what Jaime's gonna do now after what's happened...
