Geoffrey Baratheon

fictional character

Geoffrey Baratheon is a fictional character from George R.R. Martin's 'A Song of Ice and Fire' series, notably portrayed in the HBO adaptation 'Game of Thrones.' He serves as the eldest son of King Robert Baratheon and Queen Cersei Lannister, and is known for his cruel and tyrannical rule over the Seven Kingdoms. Geoffrey is often characterized by his arrogance and impulsiveness, leading to hasty decisions that jeopardize his reign and strain relationships with other noble houses. His desperate need to assert his authority, often declaring himself king, reflects his internal insecurities as a leader and has made him one of the most reviled figures in the series.
