Marei is theorized to be a bastard daughter of Tywin Lannister, fathered during his tenure as Hand of the King.

Supporting evidence

The following pieces of information can be seen as evidence:

• Marei has green eyes and white-gold hair, which matches the common physical traits of members of House Lannister.
• Marei is said to have a solemn demeanor, matching Tywin's personality.
• Marei was born in or before 280 AC, which means that there is a good chance she was conceived during Tywin's tenure as Hand of the King, which lasted from 262 AC to 281 AC.
• A secret passageway leads from the brothel where Marei is employed to a stable three blocks underneath Rhaenys's Hill. According to Varys, the secret passageway was built on the orders of a Hand of the King "whose honor would not allow him to enter such a house openly". The name of the Hand is not specified by Varys, but several readers have suggested that this description could fit Tywin.
• When asked if Tywin had any bastard offspring, George R. R. Martin merely answered that "[Tywin]'d have you flogged for the mere suggestion."
