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,[1] which matches the common physical traits of members of House Lannister.[2][3]
- Marei is said to have a solemn demeanor, matching Tywin's personality.[4]
- Marei was born in or before 280 AC,[5] which means that there is a good chance she was conceived during Tywin's 's tenure as Hand of the King, which lasted from 262 AC until 281 AC.[4]
- 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 build on the orders of a Hand of the King "whose honor would not allow him to enter such a house openly".[6] 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."[7]
