Name: Petyr Baelish
Age: 42
Place of Birth: The Fingers
Current Place of Residence: King's Landing
House: House Baelish, House Arryn
Family: Baelish
Appearance:
Garb: Baelish can often be seen wearing mostly dark colors and shades. The material is usually fine silks and linens. His style of dress is there to reinforce that he is a man of high stature in King's Landing as well as anywhere else he goes.
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 170lbs
Personality:
Petyr Baelish has always been determined to get from under the shadow of his own lowly House and make a name for himself. To get to the point where he is now, he's used his natural born talent for business as well as god-given abilities to manipulate a court.
He's as slippery a character as they come and he isn't to be trusted. To gain power, he would stand against anyone, even those who would sit on the Iron Throne. He's no warrior, however. Baelish's greatest gift is his mind, which is always at work.

Weapons: Petyr, not being a warrior only keeps a small dagger on him in case of emergency[/i]
Skills:
Master of Intrigue- Baelish is no warrior, but what he lacks in skills with a blade, he more than makes up for with his mind. Petyr Baelish is more than adept at getting people to do exactly what he wants him to do and because of that, he has a wide network of spies at his disposal within King's Landing and other places. There isn't much about the higher ups that Baelish doesn't know and that he wouldn't use for his own gain at the drop of a dime.
Master of Commerce- If nothing else, Petyr is good at making money and maintaining the flow of it as well. He owns several quality brothels and he isn't afraid to engage in illegal activity to keep them running.
Weaknesses:
Not a Fighter- Petyr is shit with a sword or any other weapon for that matter. His weapon is his mind.
Catelyn Tully- She's the only woman that he's ever loved in his life's entirety. The fact that she sees him as more of a little brother crushes his soul. He's gone as far as to betray her husband, Eddard Stark out of spite. Such an act eventually led to the Lord of Winterfell's death.
History:
Petyr Baelish’s great-grandfather was a Braavosi sellsword in the service of Lord Corbray; when his son became a hedge knight he took the stone head of the Titan of Braavos as his sigil. Lord Baelish’s father was the smallest of small lords of a few rocky acres on the smallest of the Fingers. His father befriended Hoster Tully during their service in the War of the Ninepenny Kings, which led to Petyr being sent to be fostered at Riverrun with Lord Tully’s children.
At Riverrun Petyr was fostered as a ward and raised alongside his social betters, the Tully children, Catelyn, Lysa and Edmure, who first gave him the nickname "Littlefinger" as a reference to his family holdings. As they grew older, Petyr fell in love with Catelyn, who in turn loved him as a brother, but no more. When the betrothal between Catelyn and Brandon Stark was announced, Petyr challenged the much older Brandon to a duel for her hand. Brandon won handily, leaving Baelish with a significant scar, but spared his life in compliance with Catelyn's request. Catelyn did not speak to him afterwards and burned the single letter Petyr sent after Brandon's death.
Lysa, on the other hand, was in love with Petyr. Overlooking his obsession with her sister, one night, while he was drunk and miserable over Catelyn's rejection, she slipped into his bedchamber and bedded him. The delirious Petyr may have mistaken Lysa for Catelyn, and indeed called her "Catelyn" that night. He has since claimed (at court and in private) to have taken the maidenhood of both Tully sisters. Lysa became pregnant with Petyr's child as a result of their encounter. When Hoster Tully discovered this, he forced Lysa to drink moon tea to abort the pregnancy and banished Petyr from Riverrun, as the Baelish family was too small and insignificant to wed into his house.
Petyr maintained a relationship with Lysa even after her marriage to Lord Jon Arryn. Lysa convinced her husband to give Petyr control of customs at Gulltown, where he increased incomes tenfold. His skill with finances resulted in a series of appointments leading to his being named Master of Coin in King's Landing under King Robert Baratheon.There his influence furnished him with many allies and contacts, including the City Watch. He also bought numerous brothels in the city.
Jon Arryn discovered that all of King Robert Baratheon's children were actually fathered by Jaime Lannister and planned to alert the king. Petyr manipulated Lysa to poison her husband, claiming that it was to prevent him from sending her young son Robert away to be fostered. Lysa, who was fiercely protective of her son, did his bidding. After Jon was killed, Petyr convinced Lysa to write a letter to her sister Catelyn stating that Lord Arryn had been poisoned and that the Queen was responsible.
When Catelyn Tully arrives in King's Landing to tell her husband about the attempt on their son Bran's life, Petyr, who learned of her arrival despite her efforts to remain unnoticed, intercepts her and stashes her away in one of his brothels. Catelyn, justifying her trust in Baelish from their time together in Riverrun, shows him the Valyrian Steel dagger used in the attempt. Petyr says that he recognizes the dagger, claiming that it was once his but that he lost it in a wager to Tyrion Lannister. This lie - Petyr in truth lost the dagger to King Robert - indirectly triggered the War of the Five Kings via Catelyn's eventual arrest of Tyrion for the attack.
Petyr fetches Eddard to meet with his wife and is able to convince him, against his inclination, to make no move agains the Lannisters until they have proof. He vows to assist Ned in finding Jon Arryn's killer, and during Ned's tenure as Hand of the King Petyr feigns friendship to him on behalf of his fondness for Catelyn. He superficially attempts to tutor Ned in the intrigues of the court and warns Ned not to trust anyone, including himself.
When King Robert learns that Daenerys Targaryen is pregnant, Baelish agrees with Robert in advocating her assassination. Ned resigns as Hand in protest of Robert's command, but before he can arrange to travel back to Winterfell, Petyr approaches him with the promise of assistance in his investigation into Jon Arryn's death. He leads Ned to a brothel where a young whore is raising one of Robert's bastard children. He is present when Ned is accosted by men led by Jaime Lannister while returning from the city shortly thereafter.
After King Robert's mortal wounding and his subsequent naming of Eddard as Regent and Lord Protector, Baelish advises Ned that despite their knowledge that Queen Cersei's children are illegitimate and that Stannis Baratheon is the legal heir, the wisest course of action is to ensure Joffrey's succession, a maneuver calculated to avoid all-out war and maximize their own power. Eddard refuses the suggestion and enlists Petyr's help in securing the allegiance of the city watch to ensure its loyalty when he moves against Cersei.
Baelish agrees, but betrays Ned, bribing the City Watch to support the Queen. This leads to Stark's arrest and eventual execution for treason.
RP Sample:
"You remind me so much of her, my dear. That thick red hair. Those high cheek bones and that lovely skin of your's. You must understand how much it pains me to do this to you. Its like putting a scar on her beautiful reflection."
The client waited behind him quite patiently, most likely ready to get on with whatever sick sexual fantasies Lord Baelish would provide him with. It wasn't often that Petyr had to deal with men like these. He preferred that the sick men stayed away from his businesses, but alas, he had to please his customers. And afterall, coin was much more crucial to him than any one of his whores. No matter how much he favored them in the end.
"Shh...Dry your tears, now.", he said, reaching up to wipe the whore's tears away from her eyes. The gagged woman cried out, but to no avail. The well dressed Petyr stood at full height and turned to his grotesque client. Apparently his tools outside of the one he used for pleasure were all ready.
"You had better make that price ten thousand dragons. I'm sure you understand what is at stake here should anyone find out what went on in this basement. Also, the guards have families to feed. It costs quite a bit to turn heads away in this city when moving a body."
He made his way towards the door, rather quickly. There was a small council meeting to attend. He closed the heavy door behind him and the screams echoed in the darkness. No one would hear her scream. But Petyr heard the only thing that mattered at the moment.
The sound of money.
