If a character you control on the board gains a power by either Infamy for the Lannister House, or by its abilities does the power modify the character's Strength at all? Or does putting the power on the character only keep it from being lost in a Power Challenge against you?

That said, there are a lot of additional abilities and effects that will give characters benefits (like higher STR, extra icons, etc.) for having power on them. But those only happen if a card in play says they do.
