Jaime has gone through a lot of character development over the years, and the journey gave Nikolaj Coster-Waldau the material to score his first Emmy nomination for his performances in Season 7.
Of course, back in Season 1, few of us probably would have described the character in any sympathetic terms.
Be sure to tune in to the 2018 Emmys to see if he and/or any of his Game of Thrones costars take home a trophy for HBO, which got some disappointing news overall from the 2018 nominations.
His first major moves on the series were meeting his twin sister for a tryst and then flinging a young boy out of a tower window after he caught the twins in the act.
