The Lannisters

Tyrion Lannister

Tyrion is a dward and the youngest son of Tywin and Joanna Lannister. His mother, Joanna Lannister, died giving birth to him. His father shows him very little respect and seems to blame him for his mother's death. To counter his lack of physical prowess, Tyrion is very intelligent and very clever.

Jaime Lannister

Jaime Lannister is Tywin and Joanna Lannister's second son and twin of Cersei Lannister. He is a white knight of the Kingsguard. He is often referred to as the Kingslayer, because he killed King Aerys during Robert's rebellion. Jaime is very cocky and very skilled in swordplay.

Queen Cersei Lannister

Cersei Lannister is the only daughter of Tywin and Joanna Lannister. She is Jaime's twin. She doesn't get along very well with her husband, Robert, because Robert stills has feelings for Ned's sister, Lyanna, to whom he was originally betrothed before she died during the rebellion against King Aerys. This tension causes Cersei to be bitter at times.
