With the exception of Tyrion ( and even that is debatable according to some), all the main characters with regard to the final war against the Others are Starks or Targaryens ( Jon as half Stark/Half Targ, Daenerys, Bran, Arya).
The Tyrion debate I think has been firmly nailed shut by Genna's comments to Jaime in AFFC. As for the other major characters fighting the Others: Stannis (of House Baratheon), Melisandre of Asshai, Davos of House Seaworth, the wildlings, the Karstarks etc...
Also, the Martells, Ilyrio and (probably) Varys are all actively working to place Dany on the Iron Throne, making the Martells important in the grand scheme of things as well. That said, I'd agree that the Targaryens have the best history. And the best portraits. Check it:

I'm looking forward to the portrait of Maelys the Monstrous, the last of the Blackfyre pretenders (descended from bastard sons of King Aegon IV Targaryen) who was deformed and had a second head growing out of his shoulder. :eek3: Nice.
