Criston the Kingmaker

Character Overview

Criston Cole was a Lord Commander of the Kingsguard remembered as the Kingmaker. The five main novels preserve two revealing views: Arianne fears his precedent for a white cloak intervening in succession, while Jaime reads his arms in the White Book and places him among knights who were both best and worst. The novels do not settle rumored intimacy or motive; they do show an office claiming neutrality becoming a force that makes kings.
