This series is based on my favorite book series, A Song of Ice and Fire, by George R. R. Martin. It is a series of epic fantasy novels containing a myriad of characters, political intrigue, fantastic battles, magic, and, of course, dragons. The first book is titled A Game of Thrones, which is also the name of the TV series on HBO that is based on these novels. This geocache series will highlight the characters from the series.
Joffrey Baratheon is the eldest son of King Robert and Queen Cersei, and heir to the throne of the Seven Kingdoms. Joffrey is one of those characters you love to hate, someone who possesses about every negative quality there is. He has been raised with the knowledge that he will be king someday, and his ego reflects it. He is arrogant, selfish, and cruel. He puts on a show of bravado, acting like he is destined to be a great warrior, but in actuality, is a coward. He is sadistic, and delights in tormenting those under his rule, especially Sansa Stark, who is bethrothed to Joffrey at the beginning of the series.
Joffrey's mother, Queen Cersei, is eager for Joffrey to assume the throne, for she believes that she will be able to rule through him. However, when Joffrey finally ascends to the throne, Cersei realizes that he is out of her control, and he recognizes no one's authority but his own. He is only concerned with asserting his own power, and not concerned with how his actions will affect the kingdom. When the time comes for Joffrey to show mercy in order to preserve peace in the kingdom, he betrays his own word and takes vengeance, plunging the kingdom into civil war.
