Tyrion

And I have a tender spot in my heart for cripples and bastards and broken things.

What it means

Our interpretation.

Tyrion’s sympathy takes the form of something useful. His own experience of exclusion lets him recognise a possibility other people have stopped looking for.

When Tyrion returns to Winterfell in Bran IV of A Game of Thrones, he brings plans for a saddle that could let Bran ride again. Robb’s suspicion gives way to the practical value of the gift. Tyrion’s full book wording includes “in my heart,” which the television version omits.
