==FA Pages==<br />
My Apologies, saw you restored. I shouldn't of assumed that they went with the one tagged for deletion. {{User:Hooper/autosig2}} 14:17, 25 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
: The one marked fr delineation was a typo, this why I never delete anything that is not mine directly but put it as delete request, so others may review it. But dont worry about it, I was actually thinking that delete them was the right thing todo, since I hate when they clutter my the special reports... the only reason I created them, with everything in but the content was to make the job of editing easier, to help anyone who is not familiar with structure be able to contribute as well. <br />
: Btw, nice job with COA, CTRL click/paste/tab and cleaning up effort. cheers [[User:Mordin999|Mor]]<br />

==References Format==<br />
I think that this was being discussed a little on the forum but I don't feel like searching for the right thread. I'm not sure I think your new in text citation format is better than the old way. For one I have gotten used to typing the old one out from habit, and for two the new way looks like a jumble of letters that mean nothing to me. I can't argue against you using it when making new references, but it just makes everything confusing if you start going back and altering the citations already in the page, at least until we can all conclusively agree on a format. [[User:Ryleegregory|kissed.by.fire]] 14:41, 18 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
::I see the idea you are going for, but someone (I don't remember who) decided to make the standard for references book name, chapter name for ADWD and future references. This was in an effort to eliminate the use of chapter numbers, as the chapters are not numbered in the books, and some people use the prologue as chapter one and others count the prologue as chapter zero. I support the reasoning behind this decision. I haven't noticed any ADWD references that you've changed, but what did you have in mind for that? I think the idea was also to go back and change AGOT - AFFC to eliminate the use of the chapter numbers. It just seems like a lot of work to go through and shorten the references now when the ultimate goal is to change them away from using the chapter numbers because they will again have to be altered when the first four books' chapter summaries are changed away from the number system. Maybe we should focus on fixing the system first, and then when past references are changed we could kill two birds with one stone and shorten the references as well as eliminate the chapter numbering system at the same time? What do you think? [[User:Ryleegregory|kissed by fire]] 18:02, 29 September 2011 (UTC)<br />

==Collapsible tables==<br />
Yes it does not look very nice (especially with image present). But it is a begin. I think your version without border and background is the best. But I think it looks better without including the book title I think. Maybe we should ask some of the others. [[User:Scafloc|Scafloc]] 09:50, 13 September 2011 (UTC)<br />

==Category:Houses without COA==<br />
Hi Mordin999, is category already complete? If not there may be a other way to get a list of houses without COA. Usually the only picture on House article is the COA. So we could make a custom made select that selects from the tables that the wiki software uses all entries (articles) that being House and for which there is no entry in the table that stores the links between article and image. It would require to get some knowledge about the tables and for Ran to store the query so it can be called by users. But in the end I think it is less time intensive then going through all house articles one by one. I have some documentation about the tables at home but at this moment I am actually on holiday so it will have to wait a few weeks. Cheers,[[User:Scafloc|Scafloc]] 08:11, 13 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
::So the category is made with the help of the NobleHouse template. Pretty cool! I thought that you were planning on going through all the Noble Houses and adding them one by one. That is why I suggested the query as an alternative solution. But this (using the template) is way better; nice work. [[User:Scafloc|Scafloc]] 09:20, 13 September 2011 (UTC)<br />

<div>==Past and present tense==<br />
Hi, I saw you put the complete [[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion page]] to past tense. We discussed the use of present / past tense some time ago in [http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/topic/36598-character-pages/page__p__1798135#entry1798135 this] and [http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/topic/45165-grammar/ this] thread. The outcome was that the time before the beginning of the books should be in past tense and the events in the books in the present tense. It is not a perfect solution and there are pro and contras so if you have an opinion feel free to discuss it. Regards,[[User:Scafloc|Scafloc]] 17:18, 10 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
<br />
Good to know. I can change it all to present. I just wanted it to be uniform. Some was present, some was past so I wasn't sure. Thanks for the tip, [[User:Ryleegregory|kissedbyfire]] 18:53, 10 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
<br />
== Relationships ==<br />
<br />
Hi Ryleegregory. We were still (but not very active) working on the [[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion page]]. As stated in [http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/topic/52068-the-point-of-view-characters/ the forum page] the idea was to add the relationship paragraphs to get a better page. So it is more or less a try-out. While I agree that in the current state the content of those paragraphs is a repetition of the existing data I still want to give it a try if it can be improved. So how about two weeks more to try it out? <br />
<br />
Also if we conclude that it is not going to work I would like to add that info on the forum page. Cheers,[[User:Scafloc|Scafloc]] 05:04, 16 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
::Edit: Sorry to bother you again but could you add your thoughts to the forum please? I'd like to use the forum as place where the policies are discussed and decided. I could add you opinion but I think it is better that you do it. That way it is clear that the policies are made by discussion of multiple users (and not my or anybody else's private opinion). I'll ask Pale Griffin as well. [[User:Scafloc|Scafloc]] 06:10, 16 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
<br />
I will make sure to do that. I checked the forum before, but was mainly looking for something specific to Tyrion so I didn't look under the POV Characters thread. Thanks for your patience, [[User:Ryleegregory|kissed.by.fire]] 22:34, 16 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
<br />
== Assassination Attempts and Failure ==<br />
<br />
In the Tyrion article I removed "attempt" from "Bran's failed assassination attempt" because it seems to me that a "failed assassination" implies an attempt, making the word unnecessary and doesn't clarify anything. I'm not going to change it back since it's not a big deal, but since you changed it back again I figured it was worth explaining.<br />
<br />
::Hm. I don't remember changing that back because I thought it was a good edit. Sorry about that, maybe I was editing a previous edition of the page. I will change it back to your way and thanks for pointing that out I will be more careful in the future! [[User:Ryleegregory|kissed.by.fire]] 14:28, 18 September 2011 (UTC)</div>

'''Tyrion Lannister''', [[Tywin Lannister|Tywin]] and [[Joanna Lannister|Joanna Lannister's]] third and youngest child, is a misshapen dwarf nicknamed '''The Imp''' and '''The Halfman'''. He is shrewd, educated, and calculating, but receives little respect for this from his father, Tywin.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 70|Chapter 70]], Tyrion</ref> He is capable of cruelty to his enemies, but also has great sympathy for fellow outcasts and the mistreated.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 24|Chapter 24]], Bran</ref><ref>[[Game of Thrones]], [[Cripples, Bastards, and Broken Things]]</ref><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Early in life, Tyrion found himself ostracised from regular family life, especially by his father and sister. When Tyrion was thirteen, he and his brother [[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]] rescued a common girl, [[Tysha]], from some bandits. While Jaime went after the bandits Tyrion took care of Tysha. To his amazement Tysha liked him, and they eventually made love. Tyrion became so enamoured by her that he bribed a septon and married her in secret. Their happiness lasted only two weeks, however, before Tyrion's father got news of the wedding. Lord Tywin commanded Jaime to say that Tysha was a prostitute whom Jaime had hired for Tyrion's benefit. Because the whore had presumed to marry a Lannister, Tywin had his entire guard rape Tysha for a silver each and then made Tyrion go last for a gold coin, because a Lannister is worth more.{{Ref|aGoT|42}}<br />
<br />
==Recent Events==<br />
===''A Game of Thrones''===<br />
Tyrion goes north to [[Winterfell]] as part of King [[Robert Baratheon|Robert's]] royal procession. After [[Bran Stark|Bran Stark's]] fall, Tyrion makes [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]] offer his sympathies to Bran's parents, though his nephew only obeys after Tyrion hits him. Suspicious of the accident, Tyrion notices his siblings exchanging a look when he tells them that Bran is expected to survive.{{Ref|aGoT|9}}<br />
When the royal family leaves Winterfell, Tyrion rides north to see the [[Wall]]. He joins the [[Night's Watch|ranger]] [[Benjen Stark]] and new recruit [[Jon Snow]] for the journey, and is accompanied by two guards, [[Jyck]] and [[Morrec]]. While at the Wall Tyrion sees first-hand the poor state of the Night’s Watch;{{Ref|aGoT|13}} it is dwindling in numbers, ranging parties are going missing more often than usual, and [[wildlings]] are fleeing south like never before. He is implored by [[Lord Commander of the Night's Watch|Lord Commander]] [[Jeor Mormont]] to make King Robert and his father, Lord [[Tywin Lannister|Tywin]], aware of the Watch’s needs. <br />
<br />
Also during his time at the Wall, Tyrion befriends and advises Jon Snow. Tyrion sees himself as an outcast on similar ground as the bastard-born Snow, and helps Jon cope with his identity and lot in life. Before Tyrion leaves the Wall, Jon asks him to help his brother Bran in the same way that he helped Jon; Tyrion promises to do so.{{Ref|aGoT|21}} On his way back south, he stops at Winterfell. Despite initially receiving enmity from [[Robb Stark]] and an attack from the Stark [[direwolf|direwolves]] at his arrival, Tyrion gives Maester [[Luwin]] plans for a special saddle that will allow Bran to ride a horse despite his disability, and is offered rooms at Winterfell. He declines, choosing to stay at an inn nearby.{{Ref|aGoT|24}}<br />
<br />
[[File:Tyrion arrested by Catelyn.png|thumb|300px|left|Tyrion arrested by [[Catelyn Tully|Catelyn]]. ([[Game of Thrones|TV series]])]]<br />
On his way back to [[King's Landing]] Tyrion accidentally encounters [[Catelyn Stark]] at a roadside inn called the [[Crossroads Inn|Crossroads]]. Unknown to Tyrion, Catelyn was told by [[Petyr Baelish]] that the dagger used in Bran's failed assassination attempt belongs to Tyrion. As a result Catelyn, with the help of some of her father's bannermen present at the inn, arrests Tyrion and takes him to the [[Eyrie]] for trial.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 28|Chapter 28]], Catelyn</ref><ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 31|Chapter 31]], Tyrion</ref> There [[Lysa Arryn]] puts him on trial for that crime as well as the murder of her husband [[Jon Arryn]], although he is innocent of both. To break him, Lysa locks him up in the sky cells, which have one wall of only sky. While confined in the sky cell, Tyrion wonders at the true perpetrators of his accused crimes. He thinks it possible that his siblings were responsible for both, but that Bran’s assassination attempt seems too clumsily done to be Jaime or Cersei’s work. Tyrion eventually manages to bribe his gaoler [[Mord]] into telling Lysa that he is ready to confess. When Lysa summons the complete court of the [[Vale]] to hear his confession, he demands a trial by combat.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 38|Chapter 38]], Tyrion</ref><br />
[[File:Sky cells.png|thumb|300px|right|The Sky cells. ([[Game of Thrones|TV series]])]]<br />
<br />
Tyrion's champion, the sellsword [[Bronn]], kills Lysa's champion [[Vardis Egen]] and thus Tyrion is free to go.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 40|Chapter 40]], Catelyn</ref> He is sent from the Eyrie on the dangerous high road, where he manages to recruit the [[mountain clans of the Vale]] into his service to prevent them from killing him and Bronn.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 42|Chapter 42]], Tyrion</ref> The group eventually reaches the Lannister army led by Lord Tywin. While camped with the Lannister host, Tyrion is given a number of new servants including a new squire, [[Podrick Payne]]. Tyrion also takes a young prostitute named [[Shae]] into his service.<br />
<br />
Along with his new troops, he later fights in the van at the [[Battle of the Green Fork]] against Stark forces commanded by [[Roose Bolton]].<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 62|Chapter 62]], Tyrion</ref> The battle is a tactical victory for the [[House Lannister|Lannisters]], though it turns out to be a strategical loss. With the main Lannister force held up at the [[Trident#Green Fork|Green Fork]] by Bolton, the other Stark army is able to creep up on Jaime's unsuspecting army in what becomes the [[Battle of the Whispering Wood|Battle of the Whispering Wood]]. Jaime himself is captured. After the battles, Tywin makes Tyrion his temporary replacement as [[Hand of the King]] but forbids him from taking Shae along to [[King's Landing]]. Tyrion disobeys and Shae accompanies him in secret.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 69|Chapter 69]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
===''A Clash of Kings''===<br />
[[File:Shae.png|thumb|200px|left|[[Shae]], as depicted in the [[Game of Thrones|TV series]].]]<br />
Tyrion arrives in [[King's Landing]] and takes his place as [[Hand of the King|Hand]], much to [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei’s]] dismay.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 2|Chapter 2]], Sansa</ref> He takes up residence in the [[Tower of the Hand]], despite warnings from [[Petyr Baelish]] of the fate of the last few Hands. Tyrion gets right to work fixing many of the problems created by [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]] and Cersei. Cersei has tripled the [[City Watch of King's Landing|City Watch]], put craftsmen to work on defenses, and commissioned immense amounts of [[wildfire]] from the [[Alchemists' Guild]]. These measures are paid for by a tax on anyone entering King’s Landing. The city is also starving, due to halt of goods from the rebel [[Riverlands]] and [[Reach]].<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 3|Chapter 3]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
Tyrion replaces [[Janos Slynt]] as Commander of the City Watch with Ser [[Jacelyn Bywater]], and sends Slynt and a few of his friends to the [[Wall]].<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 8|Chapter 8]], Tyrion</ref> He also removes the heads of the executed [[House Stark|Stark]] household from the walls of the [[Red Keep]].<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 3|Chapter 3]], Tyrion</ref> He next concocts a plan to weed out Cersei’s informers on the [[small council]]. He tells Petyr Baelish, [[Varys]], and Grand Maester [[Pycelle]] each different plans that he has [[Myrcella Baratheon|Myrcella]] and [[Tommen Baratheon|Tommen]].<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 17|Chapter 17]], Tyrion</ref> When Cersei confronts him about the plan that he divulged to Pycelle, Tyrion knows that Pycelle is the informer.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 20|Chapter 20]], Tyrion</ref> Tyrion’s true plan is to send Myrcella to [[Dorne]] to be betrothed to Prince [[Trystane Martell]]. To further garner Dornish support, he offers Prince [[Doran Martell]] a seat on the small council and the men that murdered Doran’s sister [[Elia Martell|Elia]].<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 17|Chapter 17]], Tyrion</ref><ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 20|Chapter 20]], Tyrion</ref> For his part in giving Cersei private information, Pycelle is shaved and confined to the black cells beneath the keep.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 25|Chapter 25]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
Tyrion sets [[Shae]] up in a manse outside the [[Red Keep]] to keep her existence in King’s Landing a secret.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 8|Chapter 8]], Tyrion</ref> Varys, however, knows her location, and helps Tyrion use [[Chataya's brothel]] as a front. Once inside the brothel, Tyrion passes through a tunnel that takes him to a location where he can safely travel to Shae's manse unfollowed.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 15|Chapter 15]], Tyrion</ref> She is restless in the manse, however, and wishes to see more of court. Following the [[riot of King's Landing]], Tyrion moves Shae to the Red Keep for her safety in the guise of [[Lollys Stokeworth|Lollys's]] maid.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 44|Chapter 44]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
Tyrion’s cousin, Ser [[Cleos Frey]], brings peace terms from [[Robb Stark]], but Tyrion deems them unacceptable.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 20|Chapter 20]], Tyrion</ref> Robb asks that [[Sansa Stark|Sansa]] and [[Arya Stark]] (although Arya is not, in fact, held at King's Landing) be released in exchange for all captives save [[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]], and that Joffrey renounce all claims to the [[North]] and Riverlands.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 7|Chapter 7]], Catelyn</ref> Tyrion instead sends Cleos back with the counter offer that he will release Sansa and Arya along with a number of captive [[House Stark|Stark]] bannerman in return for Robb’s fealty and Jaime’s release. Tyrion meanwhile, however, sets up an escape plan for Jamie to be orchestrated by men in Cleos’s party.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 25|Chapter 25]], Tyrion</ref> Tyrion is also visited by Ser [[Alliser Thorne]] of the [[Night's Watch]]. Ser Alliser has brought with him the severed hand of a [[wight]] from the [[Wall]], but it rots away before he can show it to Tyrion. Ser Alliser is mocked by Tyrion and the court, but is promised his pick of the cities dungeons as recruits.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 17|Chapter 17]], Tyrion</ref><ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 25|Chapter 25]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
When [[Renly Baratheon]] is murdered, Tyrion seizes the opportunity to bring the [[House Tyrell|Tyrells]] to the Lannister cause. He sends Petyr Baelish to treat with the Tyrells and offers Joffrey in marriage to [[Margaery Tyrell]].<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 36|Chapter 36]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
Tyrion continues to thwart Cersei’s plans, including one to send a disguised Tommen to [[Rosby]] to remove him from the reach of the mobs and Tyrion.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 44|Chapter 44]], Tyrion</ref> He also, on one occasion, drugs her so that she will not be able to attend the small council.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 17|Chapter 17]], Tyrion</ref><ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 25|Chapter 25]], Tyrion</ref> In retaliation, however, Cersei has [[Alayaya]], whom she believes is Tyrion’s whore, seized and beaten. Cersei offers Alayaya’s freedom in return for custody over Tommen. Tyrion is furious and swears to take everything Cersei cares about from her.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 54|Chapter 54]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
When Stannis’s forces attack King's Landing, later called the [[Battle of the Blackwater]], Tyrion sets in place a giant chain in [[Blackwater Bay]], which traps the many ships, Lannister and [[House Baratheon|Baratheon]] alike, in the bay. The wildfire that was commissioned of the Alchemists is then launched as the ships, and they are trapped in the bay to burn.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 58|Chapter 58]], Davos</ref> During the battle, Tyrion is forced to lead a sortie out past the city walls because [[Sandor Clegane]] refuses to.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 59|Chapter 59]], Tyrion</ref> Tyrion is accompanied by Podrick, Ser [[Balon Swann]], and Ser [[Mandon Moore]] of the [[Kingsguard]]. During the fighting, however, Ser Mandon turns on Tyrion and attacks him, slicing off his nose. Tyrion is saved by Podrick before passing out.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 61|Chapter 61]], Tyrion</ref> He wakes up in bed, his face covered in bandages.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 67|Chapter 67]], Tyrion</ref><br />

===''A Storm of Swords''===<br />
[[File:Tirion middle.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Tyrion by Amoka©]]<br />
Upon the return of his father to King's Landing, Tyrion finds himself demoted to [[Master of Coin]] and forced into a political marriage with [[Sansa Stark]]. Though they are married for over a month, Tyrion never forces consummation on his unwilling bride, a decision that earns him scorn and jest in court, although Sansa is grateful for his mercy. Sansa flees in the aftermath of [[Joffrey Baratheon]]'s murder, for which Tyrion is unjustly accused. Cersei brings Tyrion's prostitute Shae to testify at his trial and humiliate him before the court. Tyrion again seeks trial by combat through a champion. This time [[Oberyn Martell]] of Dorne stands for him, but loses to [[Gregor Clegane]], although not without mortally wounding him first.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 70|Chapter 70]], Tyrion</ref> <br />
<br />
Condemned to death, Tyrion is freed from his prison cell by his brother Jaime and a reluctant [[Varys]]. During their escape, Jaime reveals that their father had made him lie about Tysha being a prostitute, and that she was just a peasant girl who had genuinely loved Tyrion. Tyrion sees this as an unforgivable betrayal and abandons Jaime, promising retribution. Before leaving the castle, Tyrion visits his father's room and finds Shae there, whom he kills. He then confronts his father, demanding he tell him what became of Tysha. Tywin tells Tyrion that she went "wherever whores go." Tyrion then slays his father and escapes.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 77|Chapter 77]], Tyrion</ref> He flees [[Across the Narrow Sea|across the Narrow Sea]] to an unknown destination chosen by Varys. After his escape, Cersei offers a lordship for any that brings her Tyrion.<br />
<br />
===''A Feast of Crows''===<br />
Tyrion remains in his flight [[Across the Narrow Sea|across the Narrow Sea]]. Meanwhile, in King's Landing, Cersei's bounty on Tyrion results in the killing of a number of dwarfs and children.<br />
<br />
===''A Dance with Dragons''===<br />
Tyrion arrives at the manse of [[Illyrio Mopatis]] in [[Pentos]]. There Illyrio tells Tyrion of [[Daenerys Targaryen]] and her three dragons. He then sends Tyrion, along with other retainers Griff, Young Griff, Ser [[Rolly Duckfield]], Septa [[Lemore]], and [[Haldon]], called Halfmaester, aboard the ship the ''[[Shy Maid]]'' to [[Volantis]]. During the trip he assumes the aliases Yollo and Hugor Hill. There they plan to meet up with Daenerys to strengthen her cause. En route, Tyrion realizes that Griff is really the exiled lord [[Jon Connington]], and Young Griff is [[Aegon Targaryen]], saved from the [[Sack of King's Landing]]. During the journey the boat is ambushed by [[Stone men]] and Tyrion is knocked overboard he would have drowned had Jon Connington not dived in to save him.<br />
<br />
While in [[Selhorys]] Tyrion under Haldons direction plays a game of [[Cyvasse]] with [[Qavo Nogarys]], a custom offical in order to gain information. Tyrion later visits a brothel, Tyrion is recognized and captured by Ser [[Jorah Mormont]]. Ser Jorah plans to bring Tyrion to Daenerys to regain her favor. Jorah takes him to the [[Widow of the waterfront]] to try and arrange passage out of [[Volantis]]. During the journey, a dwarf woman named [[Penny]], who tried to kill Tyrion in Volantis, joins the pair as they travel to [[Meereen]] to reach Daenery, and eventually befriends Tyrion. Tyrion, Penny and Mormont are captured, however, by a [[Yunkai'i]] slaver and bought by [[Yezzan zo Qaggaz]].<br />
Tyrion and Penny are forced to perform in the [[fighting pits]] fighting a mock joust against one another, unknown to the pair was that lions were to be released at the end, but [[Daenerys Targaryen]] upon learning of this puts a stop to the release of lions as she knew the dwarfs could not defend themselves with wooden weapons.<br />
<br />
After their new master dies of a disease known as "The Pale Mare," the trio escapes. Tyrion arranges for the three to join the sellsword company the [[Second Sons]], under the command of [[Ben Plumm|Brown Ben Plumm]]. In exchange for the support of the Second Sons, Tyrion writes notes promising the company great wealth when he becomes Lord of [[Casterly Rock]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Tyrion is a misshapen dwarf with stunted legs, a jutting forehead, mismatched eyes of green and black, and lank, white-blonde hair.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 5|Chapter 5]], Jon</ref> When he grows a beard, it contains both blonde and black hair. After the [[Battle of the Blackwater]], Tyrion has a grisly facial scar that has removed most of his nose.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 4|Chapter 4]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===Tywin Lannister===<br />
[[File:Tywin and Tyrion.png|thumb|left|300px|Tyrion and his father. ([[Game of Thrones|TV series]])]]<br />
Tyrion has a difficult relation with [[Tywin Lannister|his father]]. [[Joanna Lannister|His mother]] died giving birth to Tyrion, something his father never forgave him.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 4|Chapter 4]], Tyrion</ref> When his father found out Tyrion had married Tysha he had her raped by his guardsmen and finally by Tyrion himself to teach them a lesson.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 42|Chapter 42]], Tyrion</ref> Her memory haunted him for long{{ref|2|29}} and he began to seek his pleasure with prostitutes.{{ref|2|8}} To his father this brought further shame on their house.{{ref|3|4}} Tyrion himself has thought about killing his father.{{ref|1|42}}<br />
<br />
When he was kidnapped by [[Catelyn Tully]], his father invaded [[the Riverlands]] not out of concern for Tyrion but to defend the honour of their house. Later he had Tyrion fight in the vanguard at the [[Battle of the Green Fork]] which made Tyrion suspect that his father would not have been unhappy to see him killed.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 62|Chapter 62]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
Though their relation is bad his father recognized his capacities enough to send him to King's Landing to act as his temporary replacement.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 69|Chapter 69]], Tyrion</ref> Tyrion did well, keeping the [[Dorne|Dornish]] neutral and building chain across the Blackwater river to trap [[Stannis Baratheon|Stannis]]' fleet something his father acknowledged. As a reward Tyrion asked to be named Tywin's heir, which he was under the laws as Jaime had joined the [[Kingsguard]] and thus was unable to inherit. His father flatly refused saying that he would never allow Tyrion to make [[Casterly Rock]] his whorehouse.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 4|Chapter 4]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
After [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]]'s death Cersei accused Tyrion of murdering him. Tywin formed a court to sit in judgement of his son. Tyrion demanded a trial by battle and when [[Oberyn Martell|his champion]] lost his father sentenced him to death though it is not clear if Tywin really thought Tyrion was guilty. Jaime freed Tyrion the night before his execution. He told him this was to make up for lying to Tyrion that Tysha had been a whore who was after riches while she had been what she claimed to be: a common girl and in love with Tyrion. Armed with this knowledge Tyrion visited his father and found him with Shae, Tyrion's formed mistress. Tyrion killed them both.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 77|Chapter 77]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
===Cersei Lannister===<br />
[[Cersei Lannister]] is Tyrion's older sister and always despised Tyrion. When [[Oberyn Martell]] and his sister [[Elia Martell]] visited Casterly Rock in there teens, they were shown the newborn baby Tyrion by both Jaime and Cersei. Cersei twisted Tyrions penis till he cried only stopping when Jaime intervened, Cersei when she read how Baelor the Blessed imprisoned his sisters for being beautiful went to Tyrion's nursery and pinched him till he cried. Cersei's cruelty to Tyrion only increased when she heard the prophecy of Maggy the Frog and the meaning of the word "Valonquar" (high valyrian for Little Brother). <br />
<br />
She never kept her hatred for Tyrion a secret and made him aware of it throughout his life, Tyrion returned his contempt for Cersei. Tyrion even dreamed of hiring a [[Faceless Men]] to kill his sister.{{ref|2|44}} The only thing that kept the two from harming each other was Jaime. Cersei once stated that she would have killed Tyrion but Jaime would never have forgiven her if she did{{ref|2|54}} and Tyrion would not have harmed Cersei because he loves his brother Jaime and knows how much Cersei means to him. <br />
<br />
The ironic thing is if Cersei had only ever treated Tyrion with even a little love and respect (a thing Tyrion craves for, especially from his family), Tyrion would return this with utter devotion and love to Cersei, the same he feels for his brother Jaime. Unknown to Tyrion is that every time Cersei see's Tyrion or thinks of him all she remember is the prophecy of Maggy the Frog. When Joffrey was murdered Cersei falsely believed Tyrion was responsible and did everything in her power to see him die, even getting his former whore [[Shae]] to lie and humiliate her "Valonquar" further before his death. <br />
<br />
When Tyrion escaped and killed Tywin, Cersei now sees him in every shadow. She offered a lordship to any man who killed Tyrion resulting in mass murder of innocent dwarfs and small children, Cersei will not punish any man who kills an innocent dwarf as she believes it might make the next man hesitate. <br />
<br />
Cersei upon hearing about Mrycella injury at the hands of [[Gerold Dayne]] beleives Dayne was Tyrions catspaw and Tyrion had him cut off Myrcella's ear the way an agent of Cersei ([[Mandon Moore]]) once cut off Tyrion's nose. With her Uncle Kevan now dead by the crossbow bolt (unknown to Cersei is the fact Kevan was killed by [[Varys]]), Cersei will most likely believe Tyrion killed Kevan the same way he killed father and will see even more of him in the shadows and in her nightmares.<br />
<br />
===Jaime Lannister===<br />
[[Jaime Lannister]] is Tyrion's older brother. Growing up Jaime was the only one who ever treated Tyrion with love and affection and for this Tyrion would as he thought forgive his brother for anything.{{ref|1|9}} Jaime was full of guilt over the lie father had him tell Tyrion about Tysha, Jaime was unaware of what his father planned and upon hearing about it lives with further guilt. The guilt had Jaime free his brother even when he was not sure of Tyrions innocence in the murder of his son Joffrey.<br />
<br />
Upon freeing his brother, Jaime finally confessed the truth about Tysha causing an enraged Tyrion to reveal to Jaime the truth about Cersei's infidelity towards Jaime and Tyrion also (falsely) told Jaime he did indeed kill his son Joffrey just to further hurt Jaime.<br />
<br />
Tyrion mentioned to [[Illyrio Mopatis]] that Jaime and Cersei are his to kill. Despite this statement Tyrion while having no doubt about his desire to kill and hurt Cersei still harbours mixed feelings towards Jaime.<br />
<br />
===His Uncles===<br />
From all reports, Tyrion got on well with all of his Uncles, [[Gerion Lannister|Gerion]], [[Tygett Lannister|Tygett]] and [[Kevan Lannister|Kevan]].<br />
Tyrion often recalls how Gerion had him when he was a lad recite all the sixteen wonders of the modern world. Gerion asked Tyrion once what gift he would like for his next nameday, Tyrion asked for a baby dragon and Gerion kindly told Tyrion that all the dragons were extinct and was careful not to hurt his nephews feelings. When [[Tyrek Lannister]] disappeared in the riots of Kingslanding, Tyrion instructed the watch that the lad was to be found alive or dead as his father (Tygett) was always kind to Tyrion.<br />
<br />
Until Tyrion was accused of killing Joffrey, Kevan Lannister was respectful to Tyrion and was one of the few after his injuries during the [[battle of the Blackwater]] to praise him and his abilities.<br />
<br />
===Tysha===<br />
[[Tysha]] is Tyrions first wife. For decades Tyrion believed she was a whore who his brother hired so Tyrion could experience his first woman. Because of this he thought women would only want him for his money.{{ref|2|3}}. When Tyrion found out the truth that Tysha was a girl chance met on the road who seemed to genuinely love Tyrion he felt it was the ultimate betrayal. <br />
<br />
He killed his father for this act more then anything else. <br />
<br />
===Shae===<br />
[[Shae]] was Tyrions whore who he began despite his better judgement to develop feelings towards her. He reminded himself on several occasions that the only thing Shae loved about him was his gold. It turns out his assessment was correct, Shae testified against him in his trial falsely (under Cersei direction) claiming Tyrion planned to kill the King, his father and his sister and seize the throne for himself. The fact that in the end Shae was found in his fathers bed added an extra nail in the coffin. Tyrion killed them both for that betrayal and when he discovered Shae in Tywins bed he finally knew in the end what his father really was, a hypocrite and that he Tyrion was indeed his fathers son. <br />

<br />
'''Ramsay Bolton''' is the legitimated [[bastardy|bastard]] son of [[Roose Bolton]]. Originally named '''Ramsay Snow''', he was known as the Bastard of [[House Bolton|Bolton]] and the Bastard of the [[Dreadfort]]. Ramsay considers himself a true Bolton despite his birth<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 16|Chapter 16]], Bran</ref> and is highly resentful of his baseborn status, referring to himself proudly as the trueborn scion of the Dreadfort and violently correcting those who refer to him otherwise. Ramsay is cruel, savage and wild, taking delight in torturing others. He is quite fond of the old Bolton custom of flaying their enemies.<br />
<br />
Ramsay has a group of men at arms who stand high in his favor and follow him loyally. They are called the "[[Bastard Boys]]," though never within their or Ramsay's hearing, and are just as depraved as Ramsay.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Ramsay is the product of rape between Roose Bolton and a miller's wife. While hunting, Roose saw the miller's wife and decided to illicitly practice the banned tradition of the 'first night,' where a lord had the right to bed the commoner's bride.<br />
<br />
When Ramsay's mother arrived claiming she needed help in raising Ramsay, who grew up wild and unruly, Roose sent Ramsay a servant known as "[[Reek]]." Reek, despite taking constant washes, always smelled bad due to some "unknown birth condition" that caused his skin to reek (thus his name). Giving him to Ramsay was actually a cruel jest by Roose, but the two grew inseparable. Roose would later reflect on whether Ramsay had "corrupted" Reek or whether Reek had corrupted Ramsay, though Reek would follow Ramsay's orders quite faithfully; Ramsay mentioning that Reek "knew better" than to deny him.<br />
<br />
Upon the death of his trueborn son, [[Domeric Bolton|Domeric]] (who Ramsay poisoned), two years prior to the beginning of the [[War of the Five Kings]], Roose Bolton brought his bastard to the Dreadfort. He had been living with his mother until Lord Roose called.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 16|Chapter 16]], Bran</ref><br />
<br />
==Recent Events==<br />
<br />
===A Clash of Kings===<br />
While his father is away at war, Ramsay begins to amass troops at the Dreadfort.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 16|Chapter 16]], Bran</ref> When he receives news that the neighboring lands of [[House Hornwood]] had lost both their lord and his heir, he attacks, taking the Hornwood keep and forcing the widowed Lady [[Donella Manderly]] to marry him.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 28|Chapter 28]], Bran</ref> He then locks her in a tower without food, where she starves to death after eating some of her fingers.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 35|Chapter 35]], Bran</ref> At [[Robb Stark]]'s request, [[Wyman Manderly|Lord Manderly]] sends his men to kill Ramsay and stop the atrocities. The party comes across Ramsay shortly after he had raped and killed a peasant girl and his companion [[Reek]] had raped the corpse. Ramsay is able to survive by switching clothes with Reek, who is killed in his place. <br />
<br />
Ramsay is taken as a prisoner to [[Winterfell]] in the guise of Reek. After [[Theon Greyjoy]] captures Winterfell, Ramsay exchanges a vow of service to Theon for his release.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 46|Chapter 46]], Bran</ref> He quickly becomes one of Theon's more (seemingly) trustworthy attendants, assisting Theon on his hunt to bring the escaped [[Bran Stark|Bran]] and [[Rickon Stark|Rickon Stark]] back to Winterfell. He orchestrates Theon's cover-up of the Stark boys' escape by killing two peasant boys of an age with the Starks, and then flaying the corpses to avoid recognition. Theon presents their flayed corpses as the Starks, then has their heads mounted on spikes over the castle walls. The tide soon turns against Theon, however, when [[Dagmer|Dagmer Cleftjaw]]'s assault is broken and the Northmen, enraged at Theon's duplicity and supposed murder of the young Stark children, march on Winterfell to liberate it. Unwilling to abandon the castle, though harboring few delusions about how likely a victory is, Theon and the few Ironmen loyal to him prepare to make their final stand. Ramsay offers to help Theon by taking a large sum of money to the Dreadfort and returning with much-needed reinforcements.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 56|Chapter 56]], Theon</ref><br />
<br />
After consulting with his father, Ramsay and his forces march to Winterfell just as Ser [[Rodrik Cassel|Rodrik Cassel]] and his host move to greet them. Ramsay swaps his serving man's garb for a full set of armour complete with a red helmet, and meets with Rodrik. As the castellan offers him his hand in friendship, however, Ramsay slices Cassel's arm off and leads his forces in a rampage through the stunned Northmen's ranks. Ramsay then rides to Winterfell's gates, and presents the corpses of Ser Rodrik, [[Leobald Tallhart]] and [[Cley Cerwyn]] to an onlooking Theon as a sign of his loyalty. Theon opens the gates and meets with Ramsay himself, who removes his red helmet and reveals his true identity. He tells Theon that he would much enjoy the use of his bed-warmer [[Kyra]], and knocks him to the floor when Theon protests. Ramsay carries out a great sack of Winterfell, murdering many of its inhabitants in cold blood, slaughtering the remaining Ironmen, and capturing Theon in the process.<br />
<br />
===A Storm of Swords===<br />
He is rewarded for his service with a decree of legitimization from King [[Tommen Baratheon]], making him Ramsay Bolton as well as Roose's true heir. <br />
<br />
Ramsay keeps Theon at the Dreadfort, where he reportedly flays him. He sends a small piece of his skin to [[Robb Stark]] as a gift, to show vengeance is being exacted for [[Bran Stark|Bran]] and [[Rickon Stark|Rickon]]'s "murder." After the [[Red Wedding]], Roose names him Lord of [[Winterfell]] and betroths him to a girl posing as [[Arya Stark]].<br />
<br />
===A Feast for Crows===<br />
Ramsay is reportedly marching an army south to attack the [[Ironborn]] occupied [[Moat Cailin]] in the rear.<br />
<br />
===A Dance with Dragons===<br />
Ramsay forces [[Theon Greyjoy|Theon]] to take on the role of ''[[Reek]]'', his slain serving man, never allowing Theon to bathe and covering him in excrement. Ramsay also removes the skin on several of Theon's toes and fingers, leaving him in agony for days before removing the joints. It is also implied that Ramsay castrates Theon. Ramsay makes [[Walder Frey (Little)|Little Walder Frey]] and [[Walder Frey (Big)|Big Walder Frey]] his squires.<br />
<br />
Ramsay captures Moat Cailin from the Ironborn by sending Theon in as an envoy. Ramsay promises the Ironborn, who were sick and starved),food and safe passage if they surrender. When they do surrender, Ramsay has all of them, bar his pet Theon, flayed and displays their skinless bodies on poles along the road of Moat Cailin. Roose is displeased by a lot of Ramsay's behaviour, stating that he needs to be more discreet with his practices as his infamous exploits are now well known throughout the [[North]].<br />
<br />
Ramsay weds [[Jeyne Poole]], with only himself, his father and Theon knowing the girl was not [[Arya Stark]], and repeatedly abuses her while Theon watches. Jeyne and Theon, however, are rescued and freed by [[Mance Rayder]], whom [[Jon Snow]] sent to rescue his "sister" when he heard of the wedding. Although Jeyne and Theon escape, Mance is captured by Ramsay. Ramsay sends Jon a raven with a message that he has Mance, has defeated the northern army and killed [[Stannis Baratheon|King Stannis]], whose sword he now possesses. He also states that he wants his bride back, and will come for Jon if he does not give him what he wants.<br />
<br />
Which parts of letter's contents are true and which are false remains unknown.<br />
<br />
==Appearance and Personality==<br />
He has a fleshy appearance, with large, wormy lips and long hair.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 35|Chapter 35]], Bran</ref><br />
<br />
Though a capable manipulator and possessing a cold cunning, Ramsay openly enjoys abusive and sick practises such as having young women stripped naked and released into the Bolton forests, before hunting them with a pack of feral dogs. He gives a quick death to women who give him good sport (after raping them first), then flays their corpses. He likes to name his dogs after the women he enjoys most to "honor" them. The women who don't give him good sport are raped, sometimes by the pack dogs as well as Ramsay, and are then flayed alive. All the skins of his kills are brought back with him to the Dreadfort as gruesome trophies.<br />

While his father is away at war, Ramsay begins to amass troops at the Dreadfort.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 16|Chapter 16]], Bran</ref> When he receives news that the neighboring lands of [[House Hornwood]] had lost both their lord and his heir, he attacks, taking the Hornwood keep and forcing the widowed Lady [[Donella Manderly]] to marry him.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 28|Chapter 28]], Bran</ref> He then locks her in a tower without food, where she starves to death after eating some of her fingers.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 35|Chapter 35]], Bran</ref> At [[Robb Stark]]'s request, [[Wyman Manderly|Lord Manderly]] sends his men to kill Ramsay and stop the atrocities.

Ramsay is able to survive by switching clothes with Reek, who is killed in his place. <br />
<br />
Ramsay is taken as a prisoner to [[Winterfell]] in the guise of Reek. After [[Theon Greyjoy]] captures Winterfell, Ramsay exchanges a vow of service to Theon for his release.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 46|Chapter 46]], Bran</ref> He quickly becomes one of Theon's more (seemingly) trustworthy attendants, assisting Theon on his hunt to bring the escaped [[Bran Stark|Bran]] and [[Rickon Stark|Rickon Stark]] back to Winterfell. He orchestrates Theon's cover-up of the Stark boys' escape by killing two peasant boys of an age with the Starks, and then flaying the corpses to avoid recognition. Theon presents their flayed corpses as the Starks, then has their heads mounted on spikes over the castle walls. The tide soon turns against Theon, however, when [[Dagmer|Dagmer Cleftjaw]]'s assault is broken and the Northmen, enraged at Theon's duplicity and supposed murder of the young Stark children, march on Winterfell to liberate it. Unwilling to abandon the castle, though harboring few delusions about how likely a victory is, Theon and the few Ironmen loyal to him prepare to make their final stand. Ramsay offers to help Theon by taking a large sum of money to the Dreadfort and returning with much-needed reinforcements.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 56|Chapter 56]], Theon</ref><br />
<br />
After consulting with his father, Ramsay and his forces march to Winterfell just as Ser [[Rodrik Cassel|Rodrik Cassel]] and his host move to greet them. Ramsay swaps his serving man's garb for a full set of armour complete with a red helmet, and meets with Rodrik. As the castellan offers him his hand in friendship, however, Ramsay slices Cassel's arm off and leads his forces in a rampage through the stunned Northmen's ranks. Ramsay then rides to Winterfell's gates, and presents the corpses of Ser Rodrik, [[Leobald Tallhart]] and [[Cley Cerwyn]] to an onlooking Theon as a sign of his loyalty. Theon opens the gates and meets with Ramsay himself, who removes his red helmet and reveals his true identity. He tells Theon that he would much enjoy the use of his bed-warmer [[Kyra]], and knocks him to the floor when Theon protests. Ramsay carries out a great sack of Winterfell, murdering many of its inhabitants in cold blood, slaughtering the remaining Ironmen, and capturing Theon in the process.<br />
<br />
===A Storm of Swords===<br />
He is rewarded for his service with a decree of legitimization from King [[Tommen Baratheon]], making him Ramsay Bolton as well as Roose's true heir. <br />
<br />
Ramsay keeps Theon at the Dreadfort, where he reportedly flays him. He sends a small piece of his skin to [[Robb Stark]] as a gift, to show vengeance is being exacted for [[Bran Stark|Bran]] and [[Rickon Stark|Rickon]]'s "murder." After the [[Red Wedding]], Roose names him Lord of [[Winterfell]] and betroths him to a girl posing as [[Arya Stark]].<br />
<br />
===A Feast for Crows===<br />
Ramsay is reportedly marching an army south to attack the [[Ironborn]] occupied [[Moat Cailin]] in the rear.<br />
<br />
===A Dance with Dragons===<br />
Ramsay forces [[Theon Greyjoy|Theon]] to take on the role of ''[[Reek]]'', his slain serving man, never allowing Theon to bathe and covering him in excrement. Ramsay also removes the skin on several of Theon's toes and fingers, leaving him in agony for days before removing the joints. It is also implied that Ramsay castrates Theon. Ramsay makes [[Walder Frey (Little)|Little Walder Frey]] and [[Walder Frey (Big)|Big Walder Frey]] his squires.<br />
<br />
Ramsay captures Moat Cailin from the Ironborn by sending Theon in as an envoy. Ramsay promises the Ironborn, who were sick and starved),food and safe passage if they surrender. When they do surrender, Ramsay has all of them, bar his pet Theon, flayed and displays their skinless bodies on poles along the road of Moat Cailin. Roose is displeased by a lot of Ramsay's behaviour, stating that he needs to be more discreet with his practices as his infamous exploits are now well known throughout the [[North]].<br />
<br />
Ramsay weds [[Jeyne Poole]], with only himself, his father and Theon knowing the girl was not [[Arya Stark]], and repeatedly abuses her while Theon watches. Jeyne and Theon, however, are rescued and freed by [[Mance Rayder]], whom [[Jon Snow]] sent to rescue his "sister" when he heard of the wedding. Although Jeyne and Theon escape, Mance is captured by Ramsay. Ramsay sends Jon a raven with a message that he has Mance, has defeated the northern army and killed [[Stannis Baratheon|King Stannis]], whose sword he now possesses. He also states that he wants his bride back, and will come for Jon if he does not give him what he wants.<br />

<br />
'''Ramsay Bolton''' is the legitimated [[bastardy|bastard]] son of [[Roose Bolton]]. Originally named '''Ramsay Snow''', he was known as the Bastard of [[House Bolton|Bolton]] and the Bastard of the [[Dreadfort]]. Ramsay considers himself a true Bolton despite his birth.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 16|Chapter 16]], Bran</ref> Ramsay is cruel, savage and wild, taking delight in torturing others. He is quite fond of the old Bolton custom of flaying their enemies.<br />
<br />
Ramsay is highly resentful of his baseborn status, referring to himself proudly as the trueborn scion of the Dreadfort and violently correcting those who refer to him otherwise. Though a capable manipulator and possessing a cold cunning, Ramsay openly enjoys abusive and sick practises - such as having young women stripped naked and released into the Bolton forests, before hunting them with a pack of feral dogs. He gives a quick death to women who give him good sport (after raping them first), then flays their corpses. He likes to name his dogs after the women he enjoyed most, to "honor" them. The women who don't give him good sport are raped (sometimes by the pack dogs as well as Ramsay), and are then flayed alive. All the skins of his kills are brought back with him to the [[Dreadfort]] as gruesome trophies.<br />
<br />
Ramsay has a group of men at arms who stand high in his favor, who follow him loyally. They are called (though never within their hearing or the hearing of Ramsay) the "[[Bastard Boys]]," and are just as depraved as Ramsay.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Ramsay is the product of rape between Roose Bolton and a miller's wife. While hunting, Roose saw the miller's wife and decided to illicitly practice the banned tradition of the 'first night,' where a lord had the right to bed the commoner's bride.<br />
<br />
When Ramsay's mother arrived claiming she needed help in raising Ramsay, who grew up wild and unruly, Roose sent Ramsay a servant known as "[[Reek]]." Reek, despite taking constant washes, always smelled bad due to some "unknown birth condition" that caused his skin to reek (thus his name). Giving him to Ramsay was actually a cruel jest by Roose, but the two grew inseparable. Roose would later reflect on whether Ramsay had "corrupted" Reek or whether Reek had corrupted Ramsay, though Reek would follow Ramsay's orders quite faithfully; Ramsay mentioning that Reek "knew better" than to deny him.<br />
<br />
Upon the death of his trueborn son, [[Domeric Bolton|Domeric]] (who Ramsay poisoned), two years prior to the beginning of the [[War of the Five Kings]], Roose Bolton brought his bastard to the Dreadfort. He had been living with his mother until Lord Roose called.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 16|Chapter 16]], Bran</ref><br />

'''Tyrion Lannister''', is [[Tywin Lannister|Tywin]] and [[Joanna Lannister|Joanna Lannister's]] third and youngest child, is a misshapen dwarf nicknamed '''The Imp''' and '''The Halfman'''. He is shrewd, educated, and calculating, but receives little respect for this from his father, Tywin.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 70|Chapter 70]], Tyrion</ref> He is capable of cruelty to his enemies, but also has great sympathy for fellow outcasts and the mistreated.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 24|Chapter 24]], Bran</ref><ref>[[Game of Thrones]], [[Cripples, Bastards, and Broken Things]]</ref><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Early in life, Tyrion found himself ostracised from regular family life, especially by his father and sister. When Tyrion was thirteen, he and his brother [[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]] rescued a common girl, [[Tysha]], from some bandits. While Jaime went after the bandits Tyrion took care of Tysha. To his amazement Tysha liked him, and they eventually made love. Tyrion became so enamoured by her that he bribed a septon and married her in secret. Their happiness lasted only two weeks, however, before Tyrion's father got news of the wedding. Lord Tywin commanded Jaime to say that Tysha was a prostitute whom Jaime had hired for Tyrion's benefit. Because the whore had presumed to marry a Lannister, Tywin had his entire guard rape Tysha for a silver each and then made Tyrion go last for a gold coin, because a Lannister is worth more.{{Ref|aGoT|42}}<br />
<br />
==Recent Events==<br />
===''A Game of Thrones''===<br />
Tyrion goes north to [[Winterfell]] as part of King [[Robert Baratheon|Robert's]] royal procession. After [[Bran Stark|Bran Stark's]] fall, Tyrion makes [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]] offer his sympathies to Bran's parents, though his nephew only obeys after Tyrion hits him. Tyrion is suspicious of the accident and notices his siblings exchanging a look when he tells them that Bran is expected to survive.{{Ref|aGoT|9}}<br />
When the royal family leaves Winterfell, Tyrion rides north to see the [[Wall]]. He joins the [[Night's Watch|ranger]], [[Benjen Stark]], and new recruit, [[Jon Snow]], for the journey, and is accompanied by two guards, [[Jyck]] and [[Morrec]]. While at the Wall, Tyrion sees first-hand the poor state of the Night’s Watch.{{Ref|aGoT|13}} The Watch is dwindling in numbers, ranging parties are going missing more often than usual, and [[wildlings]] are fleeing south like never before. He is implored by [[Lord Commander of the Night's Watch|Lord Commander]] [[Jeor Mormont]] to make King Robert and his father, Lord [[Tywin Lannister|Tywin]] aware of the Watch’s needs. <br />
Also during his time at the Wall, Tyrion befriends and advises Jon Snow. Tyrion sees himself as an outcast on similar ground as the bastard-born Snow, and helps Jon cope with his identity and lot in life. Before Tyrion leaves the Wall, Jon asks him to help his brother, Bran, in the same way that he helped Jon. Tyrion promises to do so.{{Ref|aGoT|21}} On his way back south, he stops at Winterfell. Despite initially receiving enmity from [[Robb Stark]] and an attack from the Stark [[direwolf|direwolves]] at his arrival, Tyrion gives Maester [[Luwin]] plans for a special saddle that will allow Bran to ride a horse, despite his disability, and is offered rooms at Winterfell. He declines, choosing to stay at an inn nearby.{{Ref|aGoT|24}}<br />
<br />
[[File:Tyrion arrested by Catelyn.png|thumb|300px|left|Tyrion arrested by [[Catelyn Tully|Catelyn]]. ([[Game of Thrones|TV series]])]]<br />
Some time later, Tyrion accidentally meets [[Catelyn Stark]] at a roadside inn called the [[Crossroads Inn|Crossroads]]. Unknown to Tyrion, Catelyn was told by [[Petyr Baelish]] that the dagger used in a failed assassination attempt on Bran belongs to Tyrion. As a result, Catelyn, with the help of some of her father's bannermen present at the inn, arrests Tyrion and takes him to the [[Eyrie]] for trial.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 28|Chapter 28]], Catelyn</ref><ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 31|Chapter 31]], Tyrion</ref> There [[Lysa Arryn]] puts him on trial for that crime, as well as the murder of her husband, [[Jon Arryn]], although he is innocent of both. To break him, Lysa locks him up in the sky cells, which have one wall of only sky. While confined in the sky cell, Tyrion wonders at the true perpetrators of his accused crimes. He thinks it possible that his siblings were responsible for both, but that Bran’s assassination attempt seems too clumsily done to be Jaime or Cersei’s work. Tyrion eventually manages to bribe his gaoler, [[Mord]], into telling Lysa that he is ready to confess. When Lysa summons the complete court of the [[Vale]] to hear his confession, he demands a trial by combat.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 38|Chapter 38]], Tyrion</ref><br />
[[File:Sky cells.png|thumb|300px|right|The Sky cells. ([[Game of Thrones|TV series]])]]<br />
<br />
Tyrion's champion, the sellsword, [[Bronn]], kills [[Vardis Egen]], Lysa's champion, and thus Tyrion is free to go.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 40|Chapter 40]], Catelyn</ref> He is sent from the Eyrie on the dangerous high road, where he recruits the [[mountain clans of the Vale]] into his service to prevent them from killing him and Bronn.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 42|Chapter 42]], Tyrion</ref> The group eventually reaches the Lannister army led by Lord Tywin. While camped with the Lannister host, Tyrion is given a number of new servants, including a new squire, [[Podrick Payne]]. Tyrion also takes a young prostitute named [[Shae]] into his service.<br />
<br />
Along with his new troops, he later fights in the van at the [[Battle of the Green Fork]] against Stark forces commanded by [[Roose Bolton]].<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 62|Chapter 62]], Tyrion</ref> The battle is a tactical victory for the [[House Lannister|Lannisters]], though it turns out to be a strategical loss. With the main Lannister force held up at the [[Trident#Green Fork|Green Fork]] by Bolton, the other Stark army is able to creep up on Jaime's unsuspecting army in what becomes the [[Battle of the Whispering Wood|Battle of the Whispering Wood]]. Jaime himself is captured. After the battles, Tywin makes Tyrion his temporary replacement as [[Hand of the King]], but forbids him from taking Shae along to [[King's Landing]]. Tyrion disobeys, and Shae accompanies him in secret.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 69|Chapter 69]], Tyrion</ref><br />

Tyrion arrives in [[King's Landing]] and takes his place as [[Hand of the King|Hand]], much to [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei’s]] dismay.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 2|Chapter 2]], Sansa</ref> He takes up residence in the [[Tower of the Hand]], despite warnings from [[Petyr Baelish]] of the fate of the last few Hands. Tyrion gets right to work fixing many of the problems created by [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]] and Cersei. Cersei has tripled the [[City Watch of King's Landing|City Watch]], put craftsmen to work on defenses, and commissioned immense amounts of [[wildfire]] from the [[Alchemists' Guild]]. These measures are paid for by a tax on anyone entering King’s Landing. The city is also starving, due to halt of goods from the rebel [[Riverlands]] and [[Reach]].<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 3|Chapter 3]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
Tyrion replaces [[Janos Slynt]] as Commander of the City Watch with Ser [[Jacelyn Bywater]], and sends Slynt and a few of his friends to the [[Wall]].<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 8|Chapter 8]], Tyrion</ref> He also removes the heads of the executed [[House Stark|Stark]] household from the walls of the [[Red Keep]].<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 3|Chapter 3]], Tyrion</ref> He next concocts a plan to weed out Cersei’s informers on the [[small council]]. He tells Petyr Baelish, [[Varys]], and Grand Maester [[Pycelle]] each different plans that he has [[Myrcella Baratheon|Myrcella]] and [[Tommen Baratheon|Tommen]].<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 17|Chapter 17]], Tyrion</ref> When Cersei confronts him about the plan that he divulged to Pycelle, Tyrion knows that Pycelle is the informer.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 20|Chapter 20]], Tyrion</ref> Tyrion’s true plan is to send Myrcella to [[Dorne]] to be betrothed to Prince [[Trystane Martell]]. To further garner Dornish support, he offers Prince [[Doran Martell]] a seat on the small council and the men that murdered Doran’s sister [[Elia Martell|Elia]].<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 17|Chapter 17]], Tyrion</ref><ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 20|Chapter 20]], Tyrion</ref> For his part in giving Cersei private information, Pycelle is shaved and confined to the black cells beneath the keep.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 25|Chapter 25]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
Tyrion sets [[Shae]] up in a manse outside the [[Red Keep]] to keep her existence in King’s Landing a secret.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 8|Chapter 8]], Tyrion</ref> Varys, however, knows her location, and helps Tyrion use [[Chataya's brothel]] as a front. Once inside the brothel, Tyrion passes through a tunnel that takes him to a location where he can safely travel to Shae's manse unfollowed.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 15|Chapter 15]], Tyrion</ref> She is restless in the manse, however, and wishes to see more of court. Following the [[riot of King's Landing]], Tyrion moves Shae to the Red Keep for her safety in the guise of [[Lollys Stokeworth|Lollys's]] maid.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 44|Chapter 44]], Tyrion</ref><br />

Tyrion’s cousin, Ser [[Cleos Frey]], brings peace terms from [[Robb Stark]], but Tyrion deems them unacceptable.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 20|Chapter 20]], Tyrion</ref> Robb asks that [[Sansa Stark|Sansa]] and [[Arya Stark]] (although Arya is not, in fact, held at King's Landing) be released in exchange for all captives save [[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]], and that Joffrey renounce all claims to the [[North]] and Riverlands.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 7|Chapter 7]], Catelyn</ref> Tyrion instead sends Cleos back with the counter offer that he will release Sansa and Arya along with a number of captive [[House Stark|Stark]] bannerman in return for Robb’s fealty and Jaime’s release. Tyrion meanwhile, however, sets up an escape plan for Jamie to be orchestrated by men in Cleos’s party.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 25|Chapter 25]], Tyrion</ref> Tyrion is also visited by Ser [[Alliser Thorne]] of the [[Night's Watch]].

When [[Renly Baratheon]] is murdered, Tyrion seizes the opportunity to bring the [[House Tyrell|Tyrells]] to the Lannister cause. He sends Petyr Baelish to treat with the Tyrells and offers Joffrey in marriage to [[Margaery Tyrell]].<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 36|Chapter 36]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
Tyrion continues to thwart Cersei’s plans, including one to send a disguised Tommen to [[Rosby]] to remove him from the reach of the mobs and Tyrion.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 44|Chapter 44]], Tyrion</ref> He also, on one occasion, drugs her so that she will not be able to attend the small council.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 17|Chapter 17]], Tyrion</ref><ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 25|Chapter 25]], Tyrion</ref> In retaliation, however, Cersei has [[Alayaya]], whom she believes is Tyrion’s whore, seized and beaten.

Tyrion is furious and swears to take everything Cersei cares about from her.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 54|Chapter 54]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
When Stannis’s forces attack King's Landing, later called the [[Battle of the Blackwater]], Tyrion sets in place a giant chain in [[Blackwater Bay]], which traps the many ships, Lannister and [[House Baratheon|Baratheon]] alike, in the bay. The wildfire that was commissioned of the Alchemists is then launched as the ships, and they are trapped in the bay to burn.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 58|Chapter 58]], Davos</ref> During the battle, Tyrion is forced to lead a sortie out past the city walls because [[Sandor Clegane]] refuses to.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 59|Chapter 59]], Tyrion</ref> Tyrion is accompanied by Podrick, Ser [[Balon Swann]], and Ser [[Mandon Moore]] of the [[Kingsguard]].

[[File:Tirion middle.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Tyrion by Amoka©]]<br />
Upon the return of his father to King's Landing, Tyrion finds himself demoted to [[Master of Coin]] and forced into a political marriage with [[Sansa Stark]]. Though they are married for over a month, Tyrion never forces consummation on his unwilling bride, a decision that earns him scorn and jest in court, although Sansa is grateful for his mercy. Sansa flees in the aftermath of [[Joffrey Baratheon]]'s murder, for which Tyrion is unjustly accused. Cersei brings Tyrion's prostitute Shae to testify at his trial and humiliate him before the court. Tyrion again seeks trial by combat through a champion. This time [[Oberyn Martell]] of Dorne stands for him, but loses to [[Gregor Clegane]], although not without mortally wounding him first.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 70|Chapter 70]], Tyrion</ref> <br />
<br />
Condemned to death, Tyrion is freed from his prison cell by his brother Jaime and a reluctant [[Varys]]. During their escape, Jaime reveals that their father had made him lie about Tysha being a prostitute, and that she was just a peasant girl who had genuinely loved Tyrion. Tyrion sees this as an unforgivable betrayal and abandons Jaime, promising retribution. Before leaving the castle, Tyrion visits his father's room and finds Shae there, whom he kills. He then confronts his father, demanding he tell him what became of Tysha. Tywin tells Tyrion that she went "wherever whores go." Tyrion then slays his father and escapes.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 77|Chapter 77]], Tyrion</ref> He flees [[Across the Narrow Sea|across the Narrow Sea]] to an unknown destination chosen by Varys. After his escape, Cersei offers a lordship for any that brings her Tyrion.<br />
<br />
===''A Feast of Crows''===<br />
Tyrion remains in his flight [[Across the Narrow Sea|across the Narrow Sea]]. Meanwhile, in King's Landing, Cersei's bounty on Tyrion results in the killing of a number of dwarfs and children.<br />
<br />
===''A Dance with Dragons''===<br />
Tyrion arrives at the manse of [[Illyrio Mopatis]] in [[Pentos]]. There Illyrio tells Tyrion of [[Daenerys Targaryen]] and her three dragons. He then sends Tyrion, along with other retainers Griff, Young Griff, Ser [[Rolly Duckfield]], Septa [[Lemore]], and [[Haldon]], called Halfmaester, aboard the ship the ''[[Shy Maid]]'' to [[Volantis]]. During the trip he assumes the aliases Yollo and Hugor Hill. There they plan to meet up with Daenerys to strengthen her cause. En route, Tyrion realizes that Griff is really the exiled lord [[Jon Connington]], and Young Griff is [[Aegon Targaryen]], saved from the [[Sack of King's Landing]]. During the journey the boat is ambushed by [[Stone men]] and Tyrion is knocked overboard he would have drowned had Jon Connington not dived in to save him.<br />
<br />
While in [[Selhorys]] Tyrion under Haldons direction plays a game of [[Cyvasse]] with [[Qavo Nogarys]], a custom offical in order to gain information. Tyrion later visits a brothel, Tyrion is recognized and captured by Ser [[Jorah Mormont]]. Ser Jorah plans to bring Tyrion to Daenerys to regain her favor. Jorah takes him to the [[Widow of the waterfront]] to try and arrange passage out of [[Volantis]]. During the journey, a dwarf woman named [[Penny]], who tried to kill Tyrion in Volantis, joins the pair as they travel to [[Meereen]] to reach Daenery, and eventually befriends Tyrion. Tyrion, Penny and Mormont are captured, however, by a [[Yunkai'i]] slaver and bought by [[Yezzan zo Qaggaz]].<br />
Tyrion and Penny are forced to perform in the [[fighting pits]] fighting a mock joust against one another, unknown to the pair was that lions were to be released at the end, but [[Daenerys Targaryen]] upon learning of this puts a stop to the release of lions as she knew the dwarfs could not defend themselves with wooden weapons.<br />
<br />
After their new master dies of a disease known as "The Pale Mare," the trio escapes. Tyrion arranges for the three to join the sellsword company the [[Second Sons]], under the command of [[Ben Plumm|Brown Ben Plumm]]. In exchange for the support of the Second Sons, Tyrion writes notes promising the company great wealth when he becomes Lord of [[Casterly Rock]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Tyrion is a misshapen dwarf with stunted legs, a jutting forehead, mismatched eyes of green and black, and lank, white-blonde hair.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 5|Chapter 5]], Jon</ref> When he grows a beard, it contains both blonde and black hair. After the [[Battle of the Blackwater]], Tyrion has a grisly facial scar that has removed most of his nose.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 4|Chapter 4]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===Tywin Lannister===<br />
[[File:Tywin and Tyrion.png|thumb|left|300px|Tyrion and his father. ([[Game of Thrones|TV series]])]]<br />
Tyrion has a difficult relation with [[Tywin Lannister|his father]]. [[Joanna Lannister|His mother]] died giving birth to Tyrion, something his father never forgave him.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 4|Chapter 4]], Tyrion</ref> When his father found out Tyrion had married Tysha he had her raped by his guardsmen and finally by Tyrion himself to teach them a lesson.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 42|Chapter 42]], Tyrion</ref> Her memory haunted him for long{{ref|2|29}} and he began to seek his pleasure with prostitutes.{{ref|2|8}} To his father this brought further shame on their house.{{ref|3|4}} Tyrion himself has thought about killing his father.{{ref|1|42}}<br />
<br />
When he was kidnapped by [[Catelyn Tully]], his father invaded [[the Riverlands]] not out of concern for Tyrion but to defend the honour of their house. Later he had Tyrion fight in the vanguard at the [[Battle of the Green Fork]] which made Tyrion suspect that his father would not have been unhappy to see him killed.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 62|Chapter 62]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
Though their relation is bad his father recognized his capacities enough to send him to King's Landing to act as his temporary replacement.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 69|Chapter 69]], Tyrion</ref> Tyrion did well, keeping the [[Dorne|Dornish]] neutral and building chain across the Blackwater river to trap [[Stannis Baratheon|Stannis]]' fleet something his father acknowledged. As a reward Tyrion asked to be named Tywin's heir, which he was under the laws as Jaime had joined the [[Kingsguard]] and thus was unable to inherit. His father flatly refused saying that he would never allow Tyrion to make [[Casterly Rock]] his whorehouse.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 4|Chapter 4]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
After [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]]'s death Cersei accused Tyrion of murdering him. Tywin formed a court to sit in judgement of his son. Tyrion demanded a trial by battle and when [[Oberyn Martell|his champion]] lost his father sentenced him to death though it is not clear if Tywin really thought Tyrion was guilty. Jaime freed Tyrion the night before his execution. He told him this was to make up for lying to Tyrion that Tysha had been a whore who was after riches while she had been what she claimed to be: a common girl and in love with Tyrion. Armed with this knowledge Tyrion visited his father and found him with Shae, Tyrion's formed mistress. Tyrion killed them both.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 77|Chapter 77]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
===Cersei Lannister===<br />
[[Cersei Lannister]] is Tyrion's older sister and always despised Tyrion. When [[Oberyn Martell]] and his sister [[Elia Martell]] visited Casterly Rock in there teens, they were shown the newborn baby Tyrion by both Jaime and Cersei. Cersei twisted Tyrions penis till he cried only stopping when Jaime intervened, Cersei when she read how Baelor the Blessed imprisoned his sisters for being beautiful went to Tyrion's nursery and pinched him till he cried. Cersei's cruelty to Tyrion only increased when she heard the prophecy of Maggy the Frog and the meaning of the word "Valonquar" (high valyrian for Little Brother). <br />
<br />
She never kept her hatred for Tyrion a secret and made him aware of it throughout his life, Tyrion returned his contempt for Cersei. Tyrion even dreamed of hiring a [[Faceless Men]] to kill his sister.{{ref|2|44}} The only thing that kept the two from harming each other was Jaime. Cersei once stated that she would have killed Tyrion but Jaime would never have forgiven her if she did{{ref|2|54}} and Tyrion would not have harmed Cersei because he loves his brother Jaime and knows how much Cersei means to him. <br />
<br />
The ironic thing is if Cersei had only ever treated Tyrion with even a little love and respect (a thing Tyrion craves for, especially from his family), Tyrion would return this with utter devotion and love to Cersei, the same he feels for his brother Jaime. Unknown to Tyrion is that every time Cersei see's Tyrion or thinks of him all she remember is the prophecy of Maggy the Frog. When Joffrey was murdered Cersei falsely believed Tyrion was responsible and did everything in her power to see him die, even getting his former whore [[Shae]] to lie and humiliate her "Valonquar" further before his death. <br />
<br />
When Tyrion escaped and killed Tywin, Cersei now sees him in every shadow. She offered a lordship to any man who killed Tyrion resulting in mass murder of innocent dwarfs and small children, Cersei will not punish any man who kills an innocent dwarf as she believes it might make the next man hesitate. <br />
<br />
Cersei upon hearing about Mrycella injury at the hands of [[Gerold Dayne]] beleives Dayne was Tyrions catspaw and Tyrion had him cut off Myrcella's ear the way an agent of Cersei ([[Mandon Moore]]) once cut off Tyrion's nose. With her Uncle Kevan now dead by the crossbow bolt (unknown to Cersei is the fact Kevan was killed by [[Varys]]), Cersei will most likely believe Tyrion killed Kevan the same way he killed father and will see even more of him in the shadows and in her nightmares.<br />
<br />
===Jaime Lannister===<br />
[[Jaime Lannister]] is Tyrion's older brother. Growing up Jaime was the only one who ever treated Tyrion with love and affection and for this Tyrion would as he thought forgive his brother for anything.{{ref|1|9}} Jaime was full of guilt over the lie father had him tell Tyrion about Tysha, Jaime was unaware of what his father planned and upon hearing about it lives with further guilt. The guilt had Jaime free his brother even when he was not sure of Tyrions innocence in the murder of his son Joffrey.<br />
<br />
Upon freeing his brother, Jaime finally confessed the truth about Tysha causing an enraged Tyrion to reveal to Jaime the truth about Cersei's infidelity towards Jaime and Tyrion also (falsely) told Jaime he did indeed kill his son Joffrey just to further hurt Jaime.<br />
<br />
Tyrion mentioned to [[Illyrio Mopatis]] that Jaime and Cersei are his to kill. Despite this statement Tyrion while having no doubt about his desire to kill and hurt Cersei still harbours mixed feelings towards Jaime.<br />
<br />
===His Uncles===<br />
From all reports, Tyrion got on well with all of his Uncles, [[Gerion Lannister|Gerion]], [[Tygett Lannister|Tygett]] and [[Kevan Lannister|Kevan]].<br />
Tyrion often recalls how Gerion had him when he was a lad recite all the sixteen wonders of the modern world. Gerion asked Tyrion once what gift he would like for his next nameday, Tyrion asked for a baby dragon and Gerion kindly told Tyrion that all the dragons were extinct and was careful not to hurt his nephews feelings. When [[Tyrek Lannister]] disappeared in the riots of Kingslanding, Tyrion instructed the watch that the lad was to be found alive or dead as his father (Tygett) was always kind to Tyrion.<br />
<br />
Until Tyrion was accused of killing Joffrey, Kevan Lannister was respectful to Tyrion and was one of the few after his injuries during the [[battle of the Blackwater]] to praise him and his abilities.<br />
<br />
===Tysha===<br />
[[Tysha]] is Tyrions first wife. For decades Tyrion believed she was a whore who his brother hired so Tyrion could experience his first woman. Because of this he thought women would only want him for his money.{{ref|2|3}}. When Tyrion found out the truth that Tysha was a girl chance met on the road who seemed to genuinely love Tyrion he felt it was the ultimate betrayal. <br />
<br />
He killed his father for this act more then anything else. <br />
<br />
===Shae===<br />
[[Shae]] was Tyrions whore who he began despite his better judgement to develop feelings towards her. He reminded himself on several occasions that the only thing Shae loved about him was his gold. It turns out his assessment was correct, Shae testified against him in his trial falsely (under Cersei direction) claiming Tyrion planned to kill the King, his father and his sister and seize the throne for himself. The fact that in the end Shae was found in his fathers bed added an extra nail in the coffin. Tyrion killed them both for that betrayal and when he discovered Shae in Tywins bed he finally knew in the end what his father really was, a hypocrite and that he Tyrion was indeed his fathers son. <br />

==History==<br />
Early in life, Tyrion found himself ostracised from regular family life, especially by his father and sister. When Tyrion was thirteen, he and his brother [[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]] rescued a common girl, [[Tysha]], from some bandits. While Jaime went after the bandits Tyrion took care of Tysha. To his amazement Tysha liked him, and they eventually made love. Tyrion became so enamoured by her that he bribed a septon and married her in secret. Their happiness lasted only two weeks, however, before Tyrion's father got news of the wedding. Lord Tywin commanded Jaime to say that Tysha was a prostitute whom Jaime had hired for Tyrion's benefit. Because the whore had presumed to marry a Lannister, Tywin had his entire guard rape Tysha for a silver each and then made Tyrion go last for a gold coin, because a Lannister is worth more.{{Ref|aGoT|42}}<br />
<br />
==Recent Events==<br />
===''A Game of Thrones''===<br />
Tyrion goes north to [[Winterfell]] as part of King [[Robert Baratheon|Robert's]] royal procession. After [[Bran Stark|Bran Stark's]] fall, Tyrion makes [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]] offer his sympathies to Bran's parents, though his nephew only obeys after Tyrion hits him. Tyrion is suspicious of the accident and notices his siblings exchanging a look when he tells them that Bran is expected to survive.{{Ref|aGoT|9}}<br />
When the royal family leaves Winterfell, Tyrion rides north to see the [[Wall]]. He joins the [[Night's Watch|ranger]], [[Benjen Stark]], and new recruit, [[Jon Snow]], for the journey, and is accompanied by two guards, [[Jyck]] and [[Morrec]]. While at the Wall, Tyrion sees first-hand the poor state of the Night’s Watch.{{Ref|aGoT|13}} The Watch is dwindling in numbers, ranging parties are going missing more often than usual, and [[wildlings]] are fleeing south like never before. He is implored by [[Lord Commander of the Night's Watch|Lord Commander]] [[Jeor Mormont]] to make King Robert and his father, Lord [[Tywin Lannister|Tywin]] aware of the Watch’s needs. <br />
Also during his time at the Wall, Tyrion befriends and advises Jon Snow. Tyrion sees himself as an outcast on similar ground as the bastard-born Snow, and helps Jon cope with his identity and lot in life. Before Tyrion leaves the Wall, Jon asks him to help his brother, Bran, in the same way that he helped Jon. Tyrion promises to do so.{{Ref|aGoT|21}} On his way back south, he stops at Winterfell. Despite initially receiving enmity from [[Robb Stark]] and an attack from the Stark [[direwolf|direwolves]] at his arrival, Tyrion gives Maester [[Luwin]] plans for a special saddle that will allow Bran to ride a horse, despite his disability, and is offered rooms at Winterfell. He declines, choosing to stay at an inn nearby.{{Ref|aGoT|24}}<br />

[[File:Tyrion arrested by Catelyn.png|thumb|300px|left|Tyrion arrested by [[Catelyn Tully|Catelyn]]. ([[Game of Thrones|TV series]])]]<br />
Some time later, Tyrion accidentally meets [[Catelyn Stark]] at a roadside inn called the [[Crossroads Inn|Crossroads]]. Unknown to Tyrion, Catelyn was told by [[Petyr Baelish]] that the dagger used in a failed assassination attempt on Bran belongs to Tyrion. As a result, Catelyn, with the help of some of her father's bannermen present at the inn, arrests Tyrion and takes him to the [[Eyrie]] for trial.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 28|Chapter 28]], Catelyn</ref><ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 31|Chapter 31]], Tyrion</ref> There [[Lysa Arryn]] puts him on trial for that crime, as well as the murder of her husband, [[Jon Arryn]], although he is innocent of both. To break him, Lysa locks him up in the sky cells, which have one wall of only sky. While confined in the sky cell, Tyrion wonders at the true perpetrators of his accused crimes. He thinks it possible that his siblings were responsible for both, but that Bran’s assassination attempt seems too clumsily done to be Jaime or Cersei’s work. Tyrion eventually manages to bribe his gaoler, [[Mord]], into telling Lysa that he is ready to confess. When Lysa summons the complete court of the [[Vale]] to hear his confession, he demands a trial by combat.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 38|Chapter 38]], Tyrion</ref><br />
[[File:Sky cells.png|thumb|300px|right|The Sky cells. ([[Game of Thrones|TV series]])]]<br />
<br />
Tyrion's champion, the sellsword, [[Bronn]], kills [[Vardis Egen]], Lysa's champion, and thus Tyrion is free to go.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 40|Chapter 40]], Catelyn</ref> He is sent from the Eyrie on the dangerous high road, where he recruits the [[mountain clans of the Vale]] into his service to prevent them from killing him and Bronn.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 42|Chapter 42]], Tyrion</ref> The group eventually reaches the Lannister army led by Lord Tywin. While camped with the Lannister host, Tyrion is given a number of new servants, including a new squire, [[Podrick Payne]]. Tyrion also takes a young prostitute named [[Shae]] into his service.<br />
<br />
Along with his new troops, he later fights in the van at the [[Battle of the Green Fork]] against Stark forces commanded by [[Roose Bolton]].<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 62|Chapter 62]], Tyrion</ref> The battle is a tactical victory for the [[House Lannister|Lannisters]], though it turns out to be a strategical loss. With the main Lannister force held up at the [[Trident#Green Fork|Green Fork]] by Bolton, the other Stark army is able to creep up on Jaime's unsuspecting army in what becomes the [[Battle of the Whispering Wood|Battle of the Whispering Wood]]. Jaime himself is captured. After the battles, Tywin makes Tyrion his temporary replacement as [[Hand of the King]], but forbids him from taking Shae along to [[King's Landing]]. Tyrion disobeys, and Shae accompanies him in secret.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 69|Chapter 69]], Tyrion</ref><br />

Tyrion arrives in [[King's Landing]] and takes his place as [[Hand of the King|Hand]], much to [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei’s]] dismay.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 2|Chapter 2]], Sansa</ref> He takes up residence in the [[Tower of the Hand]], despite warnings from [[Petyr Baelish]] of the fate of the last few Hands. Tyrion gets right to work fixing many of the problems created by [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]] and Cersei. Cersei has tripled the [[City Watch of King's Landing|City Watch]], put craftsmen to work on defenses, and commissioned immense amounts of [[wildfire]] from the [[Alchemists' Guild]]. These measures are paid for by a tax on anyone entering King’s Landing. The city is also starving, due to halt of goods from the rebel [[Riverlands]] and [[Reach]].<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 3|Chapter 3]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
Tyrion replaces [[Janos Slynt]] as Commander of the City Watch with Ser [[Jacelyn Bywater]], and sends Slynt and a few of his friends to the [[Wall]].<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 8|Chapter 8]], Tyrion</ref> He also removes the heads of the executed [[House Stark|Stark]] household from the walls of the [[Red Keep]].<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 3|Chapter 3]], Tyrion</ref> He next concocts a plan to weed out Cersei’s informers on the [[small council]].

To further garner Dornish support, he offers Prince [[Doran Martell]] a seat on the small council and the men that murdered Doran’s sister [[Elia Martell|Elia]].<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 17|Chapter 17]], Tyrion</ref><ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 20|Chapter 20]], Tyrion</ref> For his part in giving Cersei private information, Pycelle is shaved and confined to the black cells beneath the keep.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 25|Chapter 25]], Tyrion</ref><br />

Tyrion sets [[Shae]] up in a manse outside the [[Red Keep]] to keep her existence in King’s Landing a secret.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 8|Chapter 8]], Tyrion</ref> Varys, however, knows her location, and helps Tyrion use [[Chataya's brothel]] as a front. Once inside the brothel, Tyrion passes through a tunnel that takes him to a location where he can safely travel to Shae's manse unfollowed.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 15|Chapter 15]], Tyrion</ref> She is restless in the manse, however, and wishes to see more of court. Following the [[riot of King's Landing]], Tyrion moves Shae to the Red Keep for her safety in the guise of [[Lollys Stokeworth|Lollys's]] maid.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 44|Chapter 44]], Tyrion</ref><br />

Tyrion’s cousin, Ser [[Cleos Frey]], brings peace terms from [[Robb Stark]], but Tyrion deems them unacceptable.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 20|Chapter 20]], Tyrion</ref> Robb asks that [[Sansa Stark|Sansa]] and [[Arya Stark]] (although Arya is not, in fact, held at King's Landing) be released in exchange for all captives save [[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]], and that Joffrey renounce all claims to the [[North]] and Riverlands.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 7|Chapter 7]], Catelyn</ref> Tyrion instead sends Cleos back with the counter offer that he will release Sansa and Arya along with a number of captive [[House Stark|Stark]] bannerman in return for Robb’s fealty and Jaime’s release. Tyrion meanwhile, however, sets up an escape plan for Jamie to be orchestrated by men in Cleos’s party.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 25|Chapter 25]], Tyrion</ref> Tyrion is also visited by Ser [[Alliser Thorne]] of the [[Night's Watch]]. Ser Alliser has brought with him the severed hand of a [[wight]] from the [[Wall]], but it rots away before he can show it to Tyrion. Ser Alliser is mocked by Tyrion and the court, but is promised his pick of the cities dungeons as recruits.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 17|Chapter 17]], Tyrion</ref><ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 25|Chapter 25]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
When [[Renly Baratheon]] is murdered, Tyrion seizes the opportunity to bring the [[House Tyrell|Tyrells]] to the Lannister cause. He sends Petyr Baelish to treat with the Tyrells and offers Joffrey in marriage to [[Margaery Tyrell]].<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 36|Chapter 36]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
Tyrion continues to thwart Cersei’s plans, including one to send a disguised Tommen to [[Rosby]] to remove him from the reach of the mobs and Tyrion.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 44|Chapter 44]], Tyrion</ref> He also, on one occasion, drugs her so that she will not be able to attend the small council.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 17|Chapter 17]], Tyrion</ref><ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 25|Chapter 25]], Tyrion</ref> In retaliation, however, Cersei has [[Alayaya]], whom she believes is Tyrion’s whore, seized and beaten. Cersei offers Alayaya’s freedom in return for custody over Tommen. Tyrion is furious and swears to take everything Cersei cares about from her.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 54|Chapter 54]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
When Stannis’s forces attack King's Landing, later called the [[Battle of the Blackwater]], Tyrion sets in place a giant chain in [[Blackwater Bay]], which traps the many ships, Lannister and [[House Baratheon|Baratheon]] alike, in the bay. The wildfire that was commissioned of the Alchemists is then launched as the ships, and they are trapped in the bay to burn.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 58|Chapter 58]], Davos</ref> During the battle, Tyrion is forced to lead a sortie out past the city walls because [[Sandor Clegane]] refuses to.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 59|Chapter 59]], Tyrion</ref> Tyrion is accompanied by Podrick, Ser [[Balon Swann]], and Ser [[Mandon Moore]] of the [[Kingsguard]].

Upon the return of his father to King's Landing, Tyrion finds himself demoted to [[Master of Coin]] and forced into a political marriage with [[Sansa Stark]]. Though they are married for over a month, Tyrion never forces consummation on his unwilling bride, a decision that earns him scorn and jest in court, although Sansa is grateful for his mercy. Sansa flees in the aftermath of [[Joffrey Baratheon]]'s murder, for which Tyrion is unjustly accused. Cersei brings Tyrion's prostitute Shae to testify at his trial and humiliate him before the court. Tyrion again seeks trial by combat through a champion. This time [[Oberyn Martell]] of Dorne stands for him, but loses to [[Gregor Clegane]], although not without mortally wounding him first.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 70|Chapter 70]], Tyrion</ref> <br />
<br />
Condemned to death, Tyrion is freed from his prison cell by his brother Jaime and a reluctant [[Varys]]. During their escape, Jaime reveals that their father had made him lie about Tysha being a prostitute, and that she was just a peasant girl who had genuinely loved Tyrion. Tyrion sees this as an unforgivable betrayal and abandons Jaime, promising retribution. Before leaving the castle, Tyrion visits his father's room and finds Shae there, whom he kills. He then confronts his father, demanding he tell him what became of Tysha. Tywin tells Tyrion that she went "wherever whores go." Tyrion then slays his father and escapes.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 77|Chapter 77]], Tyrion</ref> He flees [[Across the Narrow Sea|across the Narrow Sea]] to an unknown destination chosen by Varys. After his escape, Cersei offers a lordship for any that brings her Tyrion.<br />
<br />
===''A Feast of Crows''===<br />
Tyrion remains in his flight [[Across the Narrow Sea|across the Narrow Sea]]. Meanwhile, in King's Landing, Cersei's bounty on Tyrion results in the killing of a number of dwarfs and children.<br />
<br />
===''A Dance with Dragons''===<br />
Tyrion arrives at the manse of [[Illyrio Mopatis]] in [[Pentos]]. There Illyrio tells Tyrion of [[Daenerys Targaryen]] and her three dragons. He then sends Tyrion, along with other retainers Griff, Young Griff, Ser [[Rolly Duckfield]], Septa [[Lemore]], and [[Haldon]], called Halfmaester, aboard the ship the ''[[Shy Maid]]'' to [[Volantis]]. During the trip he assumes the aliases Yollo and Hugor Hill. There they plan to meet up with Daenerys to strengthen her cause. En route, Tyrion realizes that Griff is really the exiled lord [[Jon Connington]], and Young Griff is [[Aegon Targaryen]], saved from the [[Sack of King's Landing]]. During the journey the boat is ambushed by [[Stone men]] and Tyrion is knocked overboard he would have drowned had Jon Connington not dived in to save him.<br />
<br />
While in [[Selhorys]] Tyrion under Haldons direction plays a game of [[Cyvasse]] with [[Qavo Nogarys]], a custom offical in order to gain information. Tyrion later visits a brothel, Tyrion is recognized and captured by Ser [[Jorah Mormont]]. Ser Jorah plans to bring Tyrion to Daenerys to regain her favor. Jorah takes him to the [[Widow of the waterfront]] to try and arrange passage out of [[Volantis]]. During the journey, a dwarf woman named [[Penny]], who tried to kill Tyrion in Volantis, joins the pair as they travel to [[Meereen]] to reach Daenery, and eventually befriends Tyrion. Tyrion, Penny and Mormont are captured, however, by a [[Yunkai'i]] slaver and bought by [[Yezzan zo Qaggaz]].<br />
Tyrion and Penny are forced to perform in the [[fighting pits]] fighting a mock joust against one another, unknown to the pair was that lions were to be released at the end, but [[Daenerys Targaryen]] upon learning of this puts a stop to the release of lions as she knew the dwarfs could not defend themselves with wooden weapons.<br />
<br />
After their new master dies of a disease known as "The Pale Mare," the trio escapes. Tyrion arranges for the three to join the sellsword company the [[Second Sons]], under the command of [[Ben Plumm|Brown Ben Plumm]]. In exchange for the support of the Second Sons, Tyrion writes notes promising the company great wealth when he becomes Lord of [[Casterly Rock]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Tyrion is a misshapen dwarf with stunted legs, a jutting forehead, mismatched eyes of green and black, and lank, white-blonde hair.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 5|Chapter 5]], Jon</ref> When he grows a beard, it contains both blonde and black hair. After the [[Battle of the Blackwater]], Tyrion has a grisly facial scar that has removed most of his nose.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 4|Chapter 4]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===Tywin Lannister===<br />
[[File:Tywin and Tyrion.png|thumb|left|300px|Tyrion and his father. ([[Game of Thrones|TV series]])]]<br />
Tyrion has a difficult relation with [[Tywin Lannister|his father]]. [[Joanna Lannister|His mother]] died giving birth to Tyrion, something his father never forgave him.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 4|Chapter 4]], Tyrion</ref> When his father found out Tyrion had married Tysha he had her raped by his guardsmen and finally by Tyrion himself to teach them a lesson.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 42|Chapter 42]], Tyrion</ref> Her memory haunted him for long{{ref|2|29}} and he began to seek his pleasure with prostitutes.{{ref|2|8}} To his father this brought further shame on their house.{{ref|3|4}} Tyrion himself has thought about killing his father.{{ref|1|42}}<br />
<br />
When he was kidnapped by [[Catelyn Tully]], his father invaded [[the Riverlands]] not out of concern for Tyrion but to defend the honour of their house. Later he had Tyrion fight in the vanguard at the [[Battle of the Green Fork]] which made Tyrion suspect that his father would not have been unhappy to see him killed.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 62|Chapter 62]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
Though their relation is bad his father recognized his capacities enough to send him to King's Landing to act as his temporary replacement.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 69|Chapter 69]], Tyrion</ref> Tyrion did well, keeping the [[Dorne|Dornish]] neutral and building chain across the Blackwater river to trap [[Stannis Baratheon|Stannis]]' fleet something his father acknowledged. As a reward Tyrion asked to be named Tywin's heir, which he was under the laws as Jaime had joined the [[Kingsguard]] and thus was unable to inherit. His father flatly refused saying that he would never allow Tyrion to make [[Casterly Rock]] his whorehouse.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 4|Chapter 4]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
After [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]]'s death Cersei accused Tyrion of murdering him. Tywin formed a court to sit in judgement of his son. Tyrion demanded a trial by battle and when [[Oberyn Martell|his champion]] lost his father sentenced him to death though it is not clear if Tywin really thought Tyrion was guilty. Jaime freed Tyrion the night before his execution. He told him this was to make up for lying to Tyrion that Tysha had been a whore who was after riches while she had been what she claimed to be: a common girl and in love with Tyrion. Armed with this knowledge Tyrion visited his father and found him with Shae, Tyrion's formed mistress. Tyrion killed them both.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 77|Chapter 77]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
===Cersei Lannister===<br />
[[Cersei Lannister]] is Tyrion's older sister and always despised Tyrion. When [[Oberyn Martell]] and his sister [[Elia Martell]] visited Casterly Rock in there teens, they were shown the newborn baby Tyrion by both Jaime and Cersei. Cersei twisted Tyrions penis till he cried only stopping when Jaime intervened, Cersei when she read how Baelor the Blessed imprisoned his sisters for being beautiful went to Tyrion's nursery and pinched him till he cried. Cersei's cruelty to Tyrion only increased when she heard the prophecy of Maggy the Frog and the meaning of the word "Valonquar" (high valyrian for Little Brother). <br />
<br />
She never kept her hatred for Tyrion a secret and made him aware of it throughout his life, Tyrion returned his contempt for Cersei. Tyrion even dreamed of hiring a [[Faceless Men]] to kill his sister.{{ref|2|44}} The only thing that kept the two from harming each other was Jaime. Cersei once stated that she would have killed Tyrion but Jaime would never have forgiven her if she did{{ref|2|54}} and Tyrion would not have harmed Cersei because he loves his brother Jaime and knows how much Cersei means to him. <br />
<br />
The ironic thing is if Cersei had only ever treated Tyrion with even a little love and respect (a thing Tyrion craves for, especially from his family), Tyrion would return this with utter devotion and love to Cersei, the same he feels for his brother Jaime. Unknown to Tyrion is that every time Cersei see's Tyrion or thinks of him all she remember is the prophecy of Maggy the Frog. When Joffrey was murdered Cersei falsely believed Tyrion was responsible and did everything in her power to see him die, even getting his former whore [[Shae]] to lie and humiliate her "Valonquar" further before his death. <br />
<br />
When Tyrion escaped and killed Tywin, Cersei now sees him in every shadow. She offered a lordship to any man who killed Tyrion resulting in mass murder of innocent dwarfs and small children, Cersei will not punish any man who kills an innocent dwarf as she believes it might make the next man hesitate. <br />
<br />
Cersei upon hearing about Mrycella injury at the hands of [[Gerold Dayne]] beleives Dayne was Tyrions catspaw and Tyrion had him cut off Myrcella's ear the way an agent of Cersei ([[Mandon Moore]]) once cut off Tyrion's nose. With her Uncle Kevan now dead by the crossbow bolt (unknown to Cersei is the fact Kevan was killed by [[Varys]]), Cersei will most likely believe Tyrion killed Kevan the same way he killed father and will see even more of him in the shadows and in her nightmares.<br />
<br />
===Jaime Lannister===<br />
[[Jaime Lannister]] is Tyrion's older brother. Growing up Jaime was the only one who ever treated Tyrion with love and affection and for this Tyrion would as he thought forgive his brother for anything.{{ref|1|9}} Jaime was full of guilt over the lie father had him tell Tyrion about Tysha, Jaime was unaware of what his father planned and upon hearing about it lives with further guilt. The guilt had Jaime free his brother even when he was not sure of Tyrions innocence in the murder of his son Joffrey.<br />
<br />
Upon freeing his brother, Jaime finally confessed the truth about Tysha causing an enraged Tyrion to reveal to Jaime the truth about Cersei's infidelity towards Jaime and Tyrion also (falsely) told Jaime he did indeed kill his son Joffrey just to further hurt Jaime.<br />
<br />
Tyrion mentioned to [[Illyrio Mopatis]] that Jaime and Cersei are his to kill. Despite this statement Tyrion while having no doubt about his desire to kill and hurt Cersei still harbours mixed feelings towards Jaime.<br />
<br />
===His Uncles===<br />
From all reports, Tyrion got on well with all of his Uncles, [[Gerion Lannister|Gerion]], [[Tygett Lannister|Tygett]] and [[Kevan Lannister|Kevan]].<br />
Tyrion often recalls how Gerion had him when he was a lad recite all the sixteen wonders of the modern world. Gerion asked Tyrion once what gift he would like for his next nameday, Tyrion asked for a baby dragon and Gerion kindly told Tyrion that all the dragons were extinct and was careful not to hurt his nephews feelings. When [[Tyrek Lannister]] disappeared in the riots of Kingslanding, Tyrion instructed the watch that the lad was to be found alive or dead as his father (Tygett) was always kind to Tyrion.<br />
<br />
Until Tyrion was accused of killing Joffrey, Kevan Lannister was respectful to Tyrion and was one of the few after his injuries during the [[battle of the Blackwater]] to praise him and his abilities.<br />
<br />
===Tysha===<br />
[[Tysha]] is Tyrions first wife. For decades Tyrion believed she was a whore who his brother hired so Tyrion could experience his first woman. Because of this he thought women would only want him for his money.{{ref|2|3}}. When Tyrion found out the truth that Tysha was a girl chance met on the road who seemed to genuinely love Tyrion he felt it was the ultimate betrayal. <br />
<br />
He killed his father for this act more then anything else. <br />
<br />
===Shae===<br />
[[Shae]] was Tyrions whore who he began despite his better judgement to develop feelings towards her. He reminded himself on several occasions that the only thing Shae loved about him was his gold. It turns out his assessment was correct, Shae testified against him in his trial falsely (under Cersei direction) claiming Tyrion planned to kill the King, his father and his sister and seize the throne for himself. The fact that in the end Shae was found in his fathers bed added an extra nail in the coffin. Tyrion killed them both for that betrayal and when he discovered Shae in Tywins bed he finally knew in the end what his father really was, a hypocrite and that he Tyrion was indeed his fathers son. <br />

<br />
==History==<br />
Early in life, Tyrion found himself ostracised from regular family life, especially by his father and sister. When Tyrion was thirteen, he and his brother [[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]] rescued a common girl, [[Tysha]], from some bandits. While Jaime went after the bandits Tyrion took care of Tysha. To his amazement Tysha liked him, and they eventually made love. Tyrion became so enamoured by her that he bribed a septon and married her in secret. Their happiness lasted only two weeks, however, before Tyrion's father got news of the wedding. Lord Tywin commanded Jaime to say that Tysha was a prostitute whom Jaime had hired for Tyrion's benefit. Because the whore had presumed to marry a Lannister, Tywin had his entire guard rape Tysha for a silver each and then made Tyrion go last for a gold coin, because a Lannister is worth more.{{Ref|aGoT|42}}<br />
<br />
==Recent Events==<br />
===''A Game of Thrones''===<br />
Tyrion goes north to [[Winterfell]] as part of King [[Robert Baratheon|Robert's]] royal procession. After [[Bran Stark|Bran Stark's]] fall, Tyrion makes [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]] offer his sympathies to Bran's parents, though his nephew only obeys after Tyrion hits him. Tyrion is suspicious of the accident and notices his siblings exchanging a look when he tells them that Bran is expected to survive.{{Ref|aGoT|9}}<br />
When the royal family leaves Winterfell, Tyrion rides north to see the [[Wall]]. He joins the [[Night's Watch|ranger]], [[Benjen Stark]], and new recruit, [[Jon Snow]], for the journey, and is accompanied by two guards, [[Jyck]] and [[Morrec]]. While at the Wall, Tyrion sees first-hand the poor state of the Night’s Watch.{{Ref|aGoT|13}} The Watch is dwindling in numbers, ranging parties are going missing more often than usual, and [[wildlings]] are fleeing south like never before. He is implored by [[Lord Commander of the Night's Watch|Lord Commander]] [[Jeor Mormont]] to make King Robert and his father, Lord [[Tywin Lannister|Tywin]] aware of the Watch’s needs. <br />
Also during his time at the Wall, Tyrion befriends and advises Jon Snow. Tyrion sees himself as an outcast on similar ground as the bastard-born Snow, and helps Jon cope with his identity and lot in life. Before Tyrion leaves the Wall, Jon asks him to help his brother, Bran, in the same way that he helped Jon. Tyrion promises to do so.{{Ref|aGoT|21}} On his way back south, he stops at Winterfell. Despite initially receiving enmity from [[Robb Stark]] and an attack from the Stark [[direwolf|direwolves]] at his arrival, Tyrion gives Maester [[Luwin]] plans for a special saddle that will allow Bran to ride a horse, despite his disability, and is offered rooms at Winterfell. He declines, choosing to stay at an inn nearby.{{Ref|aGoT|24}}<br />
<br />
[[File:Tyrion arrested by Catelyn.png|thumb|300px|left|Tyrion arrested by [[Catelyn Tully|Catelyn]] ([[Game of Thrones|TV show]]).]]<br />
Some time later, Tyrion accidentally meets [[Catelyn Stark]] at a roadside inn called the [[Crossroads Inn|Crossroads]]. Unknown to Tyrion, Catelyn was told by [[Petyr Baelish]] that the dagger used in a failed assassination attempt on Bran belongs to Tyrion. As a result, Catelyn, with the help of some of her father's bannermen present at the inn, arrests Tyrion and takes him to the [[Eyrie]] for trial.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 28|Chapter 28]], Catelyn</ref><ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 31|Chapter 31]], Tyrion</ref> There [[Lysa Arryn]] puts him on trial for that crime, as well as the murder of her husband, [[Jon Arryn]], although he is innocent of both. To break him, Lysa locks him up in the sky cells, which have one wall of only sky. While confined in the sky cell, Tyrion wonders at the true perpetrators of his accused crimes. He thinks it possible that his siblings were responsible for both, but that Bran’s assassination attempt seems too clumsily done to be Jaime or Cersei’s work. Tyrion eventually manages to bribe his gaoler, [[Mord]], into telling Lysa that he is ready to confess. When Lysa summons the complete court of the [[Vale]] to hear his confession, he demands a trial by combat.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 38|Chapter 38]], Tyrion</ref><br />
[[File:Sky cells.png|thumb|300px|right|The Sky cells. ([[Game of Thrones|TV show]])]]<br />
<br />
Tyrion's champion, the sellsword, [[Bronn]], kills [[Vardis Egen]], Lysa's champion, and thus Tyrion is free to go.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 40|Chapter 40]], Catelyn</ref> He is sent from the Eyrie on the dangerous high road, where he recruits the [[mountain clans of the Vale]] into his service to prevent them from killing him and Bronn.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 42|Chapter 42]], Tyrion</ref> The group eventually reaches the Lannister army led by Lord Tywin. While camped with the Lannister host, Tyrion is given a number of new servants, including a new squire, [[Podrick Payne]]. Tyrion also takes a young prostitute named [[Shae]] into his service.<br />
<br />
Along with his new troops, he later fights in the van at the [[Battle of the Green Fork]] against Stark forces commanded by [[Roose Bolton]].<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 62|Chapter 62]], Tyrion</ref> The battle is a tactical victory for the [[House Lannister|Lannisters]], though it turns out to be a strategical loss. With the main Lannister force held up at the [[Trident#Green Fork|Green Fork]] by Bolton, the other Stark army is able to creep up on Jaime's unsuspecting army in what becomes the [[Battle of the Whispering Wood|Battle of the Whispering Wood]]. Jaime himself is captured. After the battles, Tywin makes Tyrion his temporary replacement as [[Hand of the King]], but forbids him from taking Shae along to [[King's Landing]]. Tyrion disobeys, and Shae accompanies him in secret.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 69|Chapter 69]], Tyrion</ref><br />

[[File:Shae.png|thumb|200px|left|[[Shae]] as Depicted in the [[Game of Thrones|TV show]]]]<br />
Tyrion arrives in [[King's Landing]] and takes his place as [[Hand of the King|Hand]], much to [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei’s]] dismay.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 2|Chapter 2]], Sansa</ref> He takes up residence in the [[Tower of the Hand]], despite warnings from [[Petyr Baelish]] of the fate of the last few Hands. Tyrion gets right to work fixing many of the problems created by [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]] and Cersei. Cersei has tripled the [[City Watch of King's Landing|City Watch]], put craftsmen to work on defenses, and commissioned immense amounts of [[wildfire]] from the [[Alchemists' Guild]]. These measures are paid for by a tax on anyone entering King’s Landing. The city is also starving, due to halt of goods from the rebel [[Riverlands]] and [[Reach]].<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 3|Chapter 3]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
Tyrion replaces [[Janos Slynt]] as Commander of the City Watch with Ser [[Jacelyn Bywater]], and sends Slynt and a few of his friends to the [[Wall]].<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 8|Chapter 8]], Tyrion</ref> He also removes the heads of the executed [[House Stark|Stark]] household from the walls of the [[Red Keep]].<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 3|Chapter 3]], Tyrion</ref> He next concocts a plan to weed out Cersei’s informers on the [[small council]]. He tells Petyr Baelish, [[Varys]], and Grand Maester [[Pycelle]] each different plans that he has [[Myrcella Baratheon|Myrcella]] and [[Tommen Baratheon|Tommen]].<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 17|Chapter 17]], Tyrion</ref> When Cersei confronts him about the plan that he divulged to Pycelle, Tyrion knows that Pycelle is the informer.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 20|Chapter 20]], Tyrion</ref> Tyrion’s true plan is to send Myrcella to [[Dorne]] to be betrothed to Prince [[Trystane Martell]]. To further garner Dornish support, he offers Prince [[Doran Martell]] a seat on the small council and the men that murdered Doran’s sister [[Elia Martell|Elia]].<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 17|Chapter 17]], Tyrion</ref><ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 20|Chapter 20]], Tyrion</ref> For his part in giving Cersei private information, Pycelle is shaved and confined to the black cells beneath the keep.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 25|Chapter 25]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
Tyrion sets [[Shae]] up in a manse outside the [[Red Keep]] to keep her existence in King’s Landing a secret.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 8|Chapter 8]], Tyrion</ref> Varys, however, knows her location, and helps Tyrion use [[Chataya's brothel]] as a front. Once inside the brothel, Tyrion passes through a tunnel that takes him to a location where he can safely travel to Shae's manse unfollowed.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 15|Chapter 15]], Tyrion</ref> She is restless in the manse, however, and wishes to see more of court. Following the [[riot of King's Landing]], Tyrion moves Shae to the Red Keep for her safety in the guise of [[Lollys Stokeworth|Lollys's]] maid.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 44|Chapter 44]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
Tyrion’s cousin, Ser [[Cleos Frey]], brings peace terms from [[Robb Stark]], but Tyrion deems them unacceptable.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 20|Chapter 20]], Tyrion</ref> Robb asks that [[Sansa Stark|Sansa]] and [[Arya Stark]] (although Arya is not, in fact, held at King's Landing) be released in exchange for all captives save [[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]], and that Joffrey renounce all claims to the [[North]] and Riverlands.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 7|Chapter 7]], Catelyn</ref> Tyrion instead sends Cleos back with the counter offer that he will release Sansa and Arya along with a number of captive [[House Stark|Stark]] bannerman in return for Robb’s fealty and Jaime’s release. Tyrion meanwhile, however, sets up an escape plan for Jamie to be orchestrated by men in Cleos’s party.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 25|Chapter 25]], Tyrion</ref> Tyrion is also visited by Ser [[Alliser Thorne]] of the [[Night's Watch]]. Ser Alliser has brought with him the severed hand of a [[wight]] from the [[Wall]], but it rots away before he can show it to Tyrion.

<br />
When [[Renly Baratheon]] is murdered, Tyrion seizes the opportunity to bring the [[House Tyrell|Tyrells]] to the Lannister cause. He sends Petyr Baelish to treat with the Tyrells and offers Joffrey in marriage to [[Margaery Tyrell]].<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 36|Chapter 36]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
Tyrion continues to thwart Cersei’s plans, including one to send a disguised Tommen to [[Rosby]] to remove him from the reach of the mobs and Tyrion.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 44|Chapter 44]], Tyrion</ref> He also, on one occasion, drugs her so that she will not be able to attend the small council.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 17|Chapter 17]], Tyrion</ref><ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 25|Chapter 25]], Tyrion</ref> In retaliation, however, Cersei has [[Alayaya]], whom she believes is Tyrion’s whore, seized and beaten.

Tyrion is furious and swears to take everything Cersei cares about from her.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 54|Chapter 54]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
When Stannis’s forces attack King's Landing, later called the [[Battle of the Blackwater]], Tyrion sets in place a giant chain in [[Blackwater Bay]], which traps the many ships, Lannister and [[House Baratheon|Baratheon]] alike, in the bay. The wildfire that was commissioned of the Alchemists is then launched as the ships, and they are trapped in the bay to burn.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 58|Chapter 58]], Davos</ref> During the battle, Tyrion is forced to lead a sortie out past the city walls because [[Sandor Clegane]] refuses to.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 59|Chapter 59]], Tyrion</ref> Tyrion is accompanied by Podrick, Ser [[Balon Swann]], and Ser [[Mandon Moore]] of the [[Kingsguard]].

[[File:Tirion middle.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Tyrion by Amoka©]]<br />
Upon the return of his father to King's Landing, Tyrion finds himself demoted to [[Master of Coin]] and forced into a political marriage with [[Sansa Stark]]. Though they are married for over a month, Tyrion never forces consummation on his unwilling bride, a decision that earns him scorn and jest in court, although Sansa is grateful for his mercy. Sansa flees in the aftermath of [[Joffrey Baratheon]]'s murder, for which Tyrion is unjustly accused. Cersei brings Tyrion's prostitute Shae to testify at his trial and humiliate him before the court. Tyrion again seeks trial by combat through a champion. This time [[Oberyn Martell]] of Dorne stands for him, but loses to [[Gregor Clegane]], although not without mortally wounding him first.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 70|Chapter 70]], Tyrion</ref> <br />
<br />
Condemned to death, Tyrion is freed from his prison cell by his brother Jaime and a reluctant [[Varys]]. During their escape, Jaime reveals that their father had made him lie about Tysha being a prostitute, and that she was just a peasant girl who had genuinely loved Tyrion. Tyrion sees this as an unforgivable betrayal and abandons Jaime, promising retribution. Before leaving the castle, Tyrion visits his father's room and finds Shae there, whom he kills. He then confronts his father, demanding he tell him what became of Tysha. Tywin tells Tyrion that she went "wherever whores go." Tyrion then slays his father and escapes.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 77|Chapter 77]], Tyrion</ref> He flees [[Across the Narrow Sea|across the Narrow Sea]] to an unknown destination chosen by Varys. After his escape, Cersei offers a lordship for any that brings her Tyrion.<br />
<br />
===''A Feast of Crows''===<br />
Tyrion remains in his flight [[Across the Narrow Sea|across the Narrow Sea]]. Meanwhile, in King's Landing, Cersei's bounty on Tyrion results in the killing of a number of dwarfs and children.<br />
<br />
===''A Dance with Dragons''===<br />
Tyrion arrives at the manse of [[Illyrio Mopatis]] in [[Pentos]]. There Illyrio tells Tyrion of [[Daenerys Targaryen]] and her three dragons. He then sends Tyrion, along with other retainers Griff, Young Griff, Ser [[Rolly Duckfield]], Septa [[Lemore]], and [[Haldon]], called Halfmaester, aboard the ship the ''[[Shy Maid]]'' to [[Volantis]]. During the trip he assumes the aliases Yollo and Hugor Hill. There they plan to meet up with Daenerys to strengthen her cause. En route, Tyrion realizes that Griff is really the exiled lord [[Jon Connington]], and Young Griff is [[Aegon Targaryen]], saved from the [[Sack of King's Landing]]. During the journey the boat is ambushed by [[Stone men]] and Tyrion is knocked overboard he would have drowned had Jon Connington not dived in to save him.<br />
<br />
While in [[Selhorys]] Tyrion under Haldons direction plays a game of [[Cyvasse]] with [[Qavo Nogarys]], a custom offical in order to gain information. Tyrion later visits a brothel, Tyrion is recognized and captured by Ser [[Jorah Mormont]]. Ser Jorah plans to bring Tyrion to Daenerys to regain her favor. Jorah takes him to the [[Widow of the waterfront]] to try and arrange passage out of [[Volantis]]. During the journey, a dwarf woman named [[Penny]], who tried to kill Tyrion in Volantis, joins the pair as they travel to [[Meereen]] to reach Daenery, and eventually befriends Tyrion. Tyrion, Penny and Mormont are captured, however, by a [[Yunkai'i]] slaver and bought by [[Yezzan zo Qaggaz]].<br />
Tyrion and Penny are forced to perform in the [[fighting pits]] fighting a mock joust against one another, unknown to the pair was that lions were to be released at the end, but [[Daenerys Targaryen]] upon learning of this puts a stop to the release of lions as she knew the dwarfs could not defend themselves with wooden weapons.<br />
<br />
After their new master dies of a disease known as "The Pale Mare," the trio escapes. Tyrion arranges for the three to join the sellsword company the [[Second Sons]], under the command of [[Ben Plumm|Brown Ben Plumm]]. In exchange for the support of the Second Sons, Tyrion writes notes promising the company great wealth when he becomes Lord of [[Casterly Rock]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Tyrion is a misshapen dwarf with stunted legs, a jutting forehead, mismatched eyes of green and black, and lank, white-blonde hair.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 5|Chapter 5]], Jon</ref> When he grows a beard, it contains both blonde and black hair. After the [[Battle of the Blackwater]], Tyrion has a grisly facial scar that has removed most of his nose.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 4|Chapter 4]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===Tywin Lannister===<br />
[[File:Tywin and Tyrion.png|thumb|left|300px|Tyrion and his father. ([[Game of Thrones|TV show]])]]<br />
Tyrion has a difficult relation with [[Tywin Lannister|his father]]. [[Joanna Lannister|His mother]] died giving birth to Tyrion, something his father never forgave him.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 4|Chapter 4]], Tyrion</ref> When his father found out Tyrion had married Tysha he had her raped by his guardsmen and finally by Tyrion himself to teach them a lesson.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 42|Chapter 42]], Tyrion</ref> Her memory haunted him for long{{ref|2|29}} and he began to seek his pleasure with prostitutes.{{ref|2|8}} To his father this brought further shame on their house.{{ref|3|4}} Tyrion himself has thought about killing his father.{{ref|1|42}}<br />
<br />
When he was kidnapped by [[Catelyn Tully]], his father invaded [[the Riverlands]] not out of concern for Tyrion but to defend the honour of their house. Later he had Tyrion fight in the vanguard at the [[Battle of the Green Fork]] which made Tyrion suspect that his father would not have been unhappy to see him killed.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 62|Chapter 62]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
Though their relation is bad his father recognized his capacities enough to send him to King's Landing to act as his temporary replacement.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 69|Chapter 69]], Tyrion</ref> Tyrion did well, keeping the [[Dorne|Dornish]] neutral and building chain across the Blackwater river to trap [[Stannis Baratheon|Stannis]]' fleet something his father acknowledged. As a reward Tyrion asked to be named Tywin's heir, which he was under the laws as Jaime had joined the [[Kingsguard]] and thus was unable to inherit. His father flatly refused saying that he would never allow Tyrion to make [[Casterly Rock]] his whorehouse.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 4|Chapter 4]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
After [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]]'s death Cersei accused Tyrion of murdering him. Tywin formed a court to sit in judgement of his son. Tyrion demanded a trial by battle and when [[Oberyn Martell|his champion]] lost his father sentenced him to death though it is not clear if Tywin really thought Tyrion was guilty. Jaime freed Tyrion the night before his execution. He told him this was to make up for lying to Tyrion that Tysha had been a whore who was after riches while she had been what she claimed to be: a common girl and in love with Tyrion. Armed with this knowledge Tyrion visited his father and found him with Shae, Tyrion's formed mistress. Tyrion killed them both.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 77|Chapter 77]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
===Cersei Lannister===<br />
[[Cersei Lannister]] is Tyrion's older sister and always despised Tyrion. When [[Oberyn Martell]] and his sister [[Elia Martell]] visited Casterly Rock in there teens, they were shown the newborn baby Tyrion by both Jaime and Cersei. Cersei twisted Tyrions penis till he cried only stopping when Jaime intervened, Cersei when she read how Baelor the Blessed imprisoned his sisters for being beautiful went to Tyrion's nursery and pinched him till he cried. Cersei's cruelty to Tyrion only increased when she heard the prophecy of Maggy the Frog and the meaning of the word "Valonquar" (high valyrian for Little Brother). <br />
<br />
She never kept her hatred for Tyrion a secret and made him aware of it throughout his life, Tyrion returned his contempt for Cersei. Tyrion even dreamed of hiring a [[Faceless Men]] to kill his sister.{{ref|2|44}} The only thing that kept the two from harming each other was Jaime. Cersei once stated that she would have killed Tyrion but Jaime would never have forgiven her if she did{{ref|2|54}} and Tyrion would not have harmed Cersei because he loves his brother Jaime and knows how much Cersei means to him. <br />
<br />
The ironic thing is if Cersei had only ever treated Tyrion with even a little love and respect (a thing Tyrion craves for, especially from his family), Tyrion would return this with utter devotion and love to Cersei, the same he feels for his brother Jaime. Unknown to Tyrion is that every time Cersei see's Tyrion or thinks of him all she remember is the prophecy of Maggy the Frog. When Joffrey was murdered Cersei falsely believed Tyrion was responsible and did everything in her power to see him die, even getting his former whore [[Shae]] to lie and humiliate her "Valonquar" further before his death. <br />
<br />
When Tyrion escaped and killed Tywin, Cersei now sees him in every shadow. She offered a lordship to any man who killed Tyrion resulting in mass murder of innocent dwarfs and small children, Cersei will not punish any man who kills an innocent dwarf as she believes it might make the next man hesitate. <br />
<br />
Cersei upon hearing about Mrycella injury at the hands of [[Gerold Dayne]] beleives Dayne was Tyrions catspaw and Tyrion had him cut off Myrcella's ear the way an agent of Cersei ([[Mandon Moore]]) once cut off Tyrion's nose. With her Uncle Kevan now dead by the crossbow bolt (unknown to Cersei is the fact Kevan was killed by [[Varys]]), Cersei will most likely believe Tyrion killed Kevan the same way he killed father and will see even more of him in the shadows and in her nightmares.<br />
<br />
===Jaime Lannister===<br />
[[Jaime Lannister]] is Tyrion's older brother. Growing up Jaime was the only one who ever treated Tyrion with love and affection and for this Tyrion would as he thought forgive his brother for anything.{{ref|1|9}} Jaime was full of guilt over the lie father had him tell Tyrion about Tysha, Jaime was unaware of what his father planned and upon hearing about it lives with further guilt. The guilt had Jaime free his brother even when he was not sure of Tyrions innocence in the murder of his son Joffrey.<br />
<br />
Upon freeing his brother, Jaime finally confessed the truth about Tysha causing an enraged Tyrion to reveal to Jaime the truth about Cersei's infidelity towards Jaime and Tyrion also (falsely) told Jaime he did indeed kill his son Joffrey just to further hurt Jaime.<br />
<br />
Tyrion mentioned to [[Illyrio Mopatis]] that Jaime and Cersei are his to kill. Despite this statement Tyrion while having no doubt about his desire to kill and hurt Cersei still harbours mixed feelings towards Jaime.<br />
<br />
===His Uncles===<br />
From all reports, Tyrion got on well with all of his Uncles, [[Gerion Lannister|Gerion]], [[Tygett Lannister|Tygett]] and [[Kevan Lannister|Kevan]].<br />
Tyrion often recalls how Gerion had him when he was a lad recite all the sixteen wonders of the modern world. Gerion asked Tyrion once what gift he would like for his next nameday, Tyrion asked for a baby dragon and Gerion kindly told Tyrion that all the dragons were extinct and was careful not to hurt his nephews feelings. When [[Tyrek Lannister]] disappeared in the riots of Kingslanding, Tyrion instructed the watch that the lad was to be found alive or dead as his father (Tygett) was always kind to Tyrion.<br />
<br />
Until Tyrion was accused of killing Joffrey, Kevan Lannister was respectful to Tyrion and was one of the few after his injuries during the [[battle of the Blackwater]] to praise him and his abilities.<br />
<br />
===Tysha===<br />
[[Tysha]] is Tyrions first wife. For decades Tyrion believed she was a whore who his brother hired so Tyrion could experience his first woman. Because of this he thought women would only want him for his money.{{ref|2|3}}. When Tyrion found out the truth that Tysha was a girl chance met on the road who seemed to genuinely love Tyrion he felt it was the ultimate betrayal. <br />
<br />
He killed his father for this act more then anything else. <br />
<br />
===Shae===<br />
[[Shae]] was Tyrions whore who he began despite his better judgement to develop feelings towards her. He reminded himself on several occasions that the only thing Shae loved about him was his gold. It turns out his assessment was correct, Shae testified against him in his trial falsely (under Cersei direction) claiming Tyrion planned to kill the King, his father and his sister and seize the throne for himself. The fact that in the end Shae was found in his fathers bed added an extra nail in the coffin. Tyrion killed them both for that betrayal and when he discovered Shae in Tywins bed he finally knew in the end what his father really was, a hypocrite and that he Tyrion was indeed his fathers son. <br />

<br />
==History==<br />
Early in life, Tyrion found himself ostracised from regular family life, especially by his father and sister. When Tyrion was thirteen, he and his brother [[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]] rescued a common girl, [[Tysha]], from some bandits. While Jaime went after the bandits Tyrion took care of Tysha. To his amazement Tysha liked him, and they eventually made love. Tyrion became so enamoured by her that he bribed a septon and married her in secret. Their happiness lasted only two weeks, however, before Tyrion's father got news of the wedding. Lord Tywin commanded Jaime to say that Tysha was a prostitute whom Jaime had hired for Tyrion's benefit. Because the whore had presumed to marry a Lannister, Tywin had his entire guard rape Tysha for a silver each and then made Tyrion go last for a gold coin, because a Lannister is worth more.{{Ref|aGoT|42}}<br />
<br />
==Recent Events==<br />
===''A Game of Thrones''===<br />
Tyrion goes north to [[Winterfell]] as part of King [[Robert Baratheon|Robert's]] royal procession. After [[Bran Stark|Bran Stark's]] fall, Tyrion makes [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]] offer his sympathies to Bran's parents, though his nephew only obeys after Tyrion hits him. Tyrion is suspicious of the accident and notices his siblings exchanging a look when he tells them that Bran is expected to survive.{{Ref|aGoT|9}}<br />
When the royal family leaves Winterfell, Tyrion rides north to see the [[Wall]]. He joins the [[Night's Watch|ranger]], [[Benjen Stark]], and new recruit, [[Jon Snow]], for the journey, and is accompanied by two guards, [[Jyck]] and [[Morrec]]. While at the Wall, Tyrion sees first-hand the poor state of the Night’s Watch.{{Ref|aGoT|13}} The Watch is dwindling in numbers, ranging parties are going missing more often than usual, and [[wildlings]] are fleeing south like never before. He is implored by [[Lord Commander of the Night's Watch|Lord Commander]] [[Jeor Mormont]] to make King Robert and his father, Lord [[Tywin Lannister|Tywin]] aware of the Watch’s needs. <br />
Also during his time at the Wall, Tyrion befriends and advises Jon Snow. Tyrion sees himself as an outcast on similar ground as the bastard-born Snow, and helps Jon cope with his identity and lot in life. Before Tyrion leaves the Wall, Jon asks him to help his brother, Bran, in the same way that he helped Jon. Tyrion promises to do so.{{Ref|aGoT|21}} On his way back south, he stops at Winterfell. Despite initially receiving enmity from [[Robb Stark]] and an attack from the Stark [[direwolf|direwolves]] at his arrival, Tyrion gives Maester [[Luwin]] plans for a special saddle that will allow Bran to ride a horse, despite his disability, and is offered rooms at Winterfell. He declines, choosing to stay at an inn nearby.{{Ref|aGoT|24}}<br />
<br />
[[File:Tyrion arrested by Catelyn.png|thumb|300px|left|Tyrion arrested by [[Catelyn Tully|Catelyn]] ([[Game of Thrones|Tv show]]).]]<br />
Some time later, Tyrion accidentally meets [[Catelyn Stark]] at a roadside inn called the [[Crossroads Inn|Crossroads]]. Unknown to Tyrion, Catelyn was told by [[Petyr Baelish]] that the dagger used in a failed assassination attempt on Bran belongs to Tyrion. As a result, Catelyn, with the help of some of her father's bannermen present at the inn, arrests Tyrion and takes him to the [[Eyrie]] for trial.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 28|Chapter 28]], Catelyn</ref><ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 31|Chapter 31]], Tyrion</ref> There [[Lysa Arryn]] puts him on trial for that crime, as well as the murder of her husband, [[Jon Arryn]], although he is innocent of both. To break him, Lysa locks him up in the sky cells, which have one wall of only sky. While confined in the sky cell, Tyrion wonders at the true perpetrators of his accused crimes. He thinks it possible that his siblings were responsible for both, but that Bran’s assassination attempt seems too clumsily done to be Jaime or Cersei’s work. Tyrion eventually manages to bribe his gaoler, [[Mord]], into telling Lysa that he is ready to confess. When Lysa summons the complete court of the [[Vale]] to hear his confession, he demands a trial by combat.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 38|Chapter 38]], Tyrion</ref><br />
[[File:Sky cells.png|thumb|300px|right|The Sky cells. ([[Game of Thrones|Tv show]])]]<br />
<br />
Tyrion's champion, the sellsword, [[Bronn]], kills [[Vardis Egen]], Lysa's champion, and thus Tyrion is free to go.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 40|Chapter 40]], Catelyn</ref> He is sent from the Eyrie on the dangerous high road, where he recruits the [[mountain clans of the Vale]] into his service to prevent them from killing him and Bronn.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 42|Chapter 42]], Tyrion</ref> The group eventually reaches the Lannister army led by Lord Tywin. While camped with the Lannister host, Tyrion is given a number of new servants, including a new squire, [[Podrick Payne]]. Tyrion also takes a young prostitute named [[Shae]] into his service.<br />
<br />
Along with his new troops, he later fights in the van at the [[Battle of the Green Fork]] against Stark forces commanded by [[Roose Bolton]].<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 62|Chapter 62]], Tyrion</ref> The battle is a tactical victory for the [[House Lannister|Lannisters]], though it turns out to be a strategical loss. With the main Lannister force held up at the [[Trident#Green Fork|Green Fork]] by Bolton, the other Stark army is able to creep up on Jaime's unsuspecting army in what becomes the [[Battle of the Whispering Wood|Battle of the Whispering Wood]]. Jaime himself is captured. After the battles, Tywin makes Tyrion his temporary replacement as [[Hand of the King]], but forbids him from taking Shae along to [[King's Landing]]. Tyrion disobeys, and Shae accompanies him in secret.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 69|Chapter 69]], Tyrion</ref><br />

[[File:Shae.png|thumb|200px|left|[[Shae]] as Depicted in the [[Game of Thrones|Tv show]]]]<br />
Tyrion arrives in [[King's Landing]] and takes his place as [[Hand of the King|Hand]], much to [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei’s]] dismay.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 2|Chapter 2]], Sansa</ref> He takes up residence in the [[Tower of the Hand]], despite warnings from [[Petyr Baelish]] of the fate of the last few Hands. Tyrion gets right to work fixing many of the problems created by [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]] and Cersei. Cersei has tripled the [[City Watch of King's Landing|City Watch]], put craftsmen to work on defenses, and commissioned immense amounts of [[wildfire]] from the [[Alchemists' Guild]]. These measures are paid for by a tax on anyone entering King’s Landing. The city is also starving, due to halt of goods from the rebel [[Riverlands]] and [[Reach]].<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 3|Chapter 3]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
Tyrion replaces [[Janos Slynt]] as Commander of the City Watch with Ser [[Jacelyn Bywater]], and sends Slynt and a few of his friends to the [[Wall]].<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 8|Chapter 8]], Tyrion</ref> He also removes the heads of the executed [[House Stark|Stark]] household from the walls of the [[Red Keep]].<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 3|Chapter 3]], Tyrion</ref> He next concocts a plan to weed out Cersei’s informers on the [[small council]].

Tyrion sets [[Shae]] up in a manse outside the [[Red Keep]] to keep her existence in King’s Landing a secret.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 8|Chapter 8]], Tyrion</ref> Varys, however, knows her location, and helps Tyrion use [[Chataya's brothel]] as a front. Once inside the brothel, Tyrion passes through a tunnel that takes him to a location where he can safely travel to Shae's manse unfollowed.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 15|Chapter 15]], Tyrion</ref> She is restless in the manse, however, and wishes to see more of court. Following the [[riot of King's Landing]], Tyrion moves Shae to the Red Keep for her safety in the guise of [[Lollys Stokeworth|Lollys's]] maid.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 44|Chapter 44]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
Tyrion’s cousin, Ser [[Cleos Frey]], brings peace terms from [[Robb Stark]], but Tyrion deems them unacceptable.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 20|Chapter 20]], Tyrion</ref> Robb asks that [[Sansa Stark|Sansa]] and [[Arya Stark]] (although Arya is not, in fact, held at King's Landing) be released in exchange for all captives save [[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]], and that Joffrey renounce all claims to the [[North]] and Riverlands.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 7|Chapter 7]], Catelyn</ref> Tyrion instead sends Cleos back with the counter offer that he will release Sansa and Arya along with a number of captive [[House Stark|Stark]] bannerman in return for Robb’s fealty and Jaime’s release. Tyrion meanwhile, however, sets up an escape plan for Jamie to be orchestrated by men in Cleos’s party.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 25|Chapter 25]], Tyrion</ref> Tyrion is also visited by Ser [[Alliser Thorne]] of the [[Night's Watch]]. Ser Alliser has brought with him the severed hand of a [[wight]] from the [[Wall]], but it rots away before he can show it to Tyrion. Ser Alliser is mocked by Tyrion and the court, but is promised his pick of the cities dungeons as recruits.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 17|Chapter 17]], Tyrion</ref><ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 25|Chapter 25]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
When [[Renly Baratheon]] is murdered, Tyrion seizes the opportunity to bring the [[House Tyrell|Tyrells]] to the Lannister cause. He sends Petyr Baelish to treat with the Tyrells and offers Joffrey in marriage to [[Margaery Tyrell]].<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 36|Chapter 36]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
Tyrion continues to thwart Cersei’s plans, including one to send a disguised Tommen to [[Rosby]] to remove him from the reach of the mobs and Tyrion.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 44|Chapter 44]], Tyrion</ref> He also, on one occasion, drugs her so that she will not be able to attend the small council.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 17|Chapter 17]], Tyrion</ref><ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 25|Chapter 25]], Tyrion</ref> In retaliation, however, Cersei has [[Alayaya]], whom she believes is Tyrion’s whore, seized and beaten.

Tyrion is furious and swears to take everything Cersei cares about from her.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 54|Chapter 54]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
When Stannis’s forces attack King's Landing, later called the [[Battle of the Blackwater]], Tyrion sets in place a giant chain in [[Blackwater Bay]], which traps the many ships, Lannister and [[House Baratheon|Baratheon]] alike, in the bay. The wildfire that was commissioned of the Alchemists is then launched as the ships, and they are trapped in the bay to burn.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 58|Chapter 58]], Davos</ref> During the battle, Tyrion is forced to lead a sortie out past the city walls because [[Sandor Clegane]] refuses to.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 59|Chapter 59]], Tyrion</ref> Tyrion is accompanied by Podrick, Ser [[Balon Swann]], and Ser [[Mandon Moore]] of the [[Kingsguard]].

===''A Storm of Swords''===<br />
[[File:Tirion middle.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Tyrion by Amoka©]]<br />
Upon the return of his father to King's Landing, Tyrion finds himself demoted to [[Master of Coin]] and forced into a political marriage with [[Sansa Stark]]. Though they are married for over a month, Tyrion never forces consummation on his unwilling bride, a decision that earns him scorn and jest in court, although Sansa is grateful for his mercy. Sansa flees in the aftermath of [[Joffrey Baratheon]]'s murder, for which Tyrion is unjustly accused. Cersei brings Tyrion's prostitute Shae to testify at his trial and humiliate him before the court. Tyrion again seeks trial by combat through a champion. This time [[Oberyn Martell]] of Dorne stands for him, but loses to [[Gregor Clegane]], although not without mortally wounding him first.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 70|Chapter 70]], Tyrion</ref> <br />
<br />
Condemned to death, Tyrion is freed from his prison cell by his brother Jaime and a reluctant [[Varys]]. During their escape, Jaime reveals that their father had made him lie about Tysha being a prostitute, and that she was just a peasant girl who had genuinely loved Tyrion. Tyrion sees this as an unforgivable betrayal and abandons Jaime, promising retribution. Before leaving the castle, Tyrion visits his father's room and finds Shae there, whom he kills. He then confronts his father, demanding he tell him what became of Tysha. Tywin tells Tyrion that she went "wherever whores go." Tyrion then slays his father and escapes.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 77|Chapter 77]], Tyrion</ref> He flees [[Across the Narrow Sea|across the Narrow Sea]] to an unknown destination chosen by Varys. After his escape, Cersei offers a lordship for any that brings her Tyrion.<br />
<br />
===''A Feast of Crows''===<br />
Tyrion remains in his flight [[Across the Narrow Sea|across the Narrow Sea]]. Meanwhile, in King's Landing, Cersei's bounty on Tyrion results in the killing of a number of dwarfs and children.<br />
<br />
===''A Dance with Dragons''===<br />
Tyrion arrives at the manse of [[Illyrio Mopatis]] in [[Pentos]]. There Illyrio tells Tyrion of [[Daenerys Targaryen]] and her three dragons. He then sends Tyrion, along with other retainers Griff, Young Griff, Ser [[Rolly Duckfield]], Septa [[Lemore]], and [[Haldon]], called Halfmaester, aboard the ship the ''[[Shy Maid]]'' to [[Volantis]]. During the trip he assumes the aliases Yollo and Hugor Hill. There they plan to meet up with Daenerys to strengthen her cause. En route, Tyrion realizes that Griff is really the exiled lord [[Jon Connington]], and Young Griff is [[Aegon Targaryen]], saved from the [[Sack of King's Landing]]. During the journey the boat is ambushed by [[Stone men]] and Tyrion is knocked overboard he would have drowned had Jon Connington not dived in to save him.<br />
<br />
While in [[Selhorys]] Tyrion under Haldons direction plays a game of [[Cyvasse]] with [[Qavo Nogarys]], a custom offical in order to gain information. Tyrion later visits a brothel, Tyrion is recognized and captured by Ser [[Jorah Mormont]]. Ser Jorah plans to bring Tyrion to Daenerys to regain her favor. Jorah takes him to the [[Widow of the waterfront]] to try and arrange passage out of [[Volantis]]. During the journey, a dwarf woman named [[Penny]], who tried to kill Tyrion in Volantis, joins the pair as they travel to [[Meereen]] to reach Daenery, and eventually befriends Tyrion. Tyrion, Penny and Mormont are captured, however, by a [[Yunkai'i]] slaver and bought by [[Yezzan zo Qaggaz]].<br />
Tyrion and Penny are forced to perform in the [[fighting pits]] fighting a mock joust against one another, unknown to the pair was that lions were to be released at the end, but [[Daenerys Targaryen]] upon learning of this puts a stop to the release of lions as she knew the dwarfs could not defend themselves with wooden weapons.<br />
<br />
After their new master dies of a disease known as "The Pale Mare," the trio escapes. Tyrion arranges for the three to join the sellsword company the [[Second Sons]], under the command of [[Ben Plumm|Brown Ben Plumm]]. In exchange for the support of the Second Sons, Tyrion writes notes promising the company great wealth when he becomes Lord of [[Casterly Rock]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Tyrion is a misshapen dwarf with stunted legs, a jutting forehead, mismatched eyes of green and black, and lank, white-blonde hair.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 5|Chapter 5]], Jon</ref> When he grows a beard, it contains both blonde and black hair. After the [[Battle of the Blackwater]], Tyrion has a grisly facial scar that has removed most of his nose.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 4|Chapter 4]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===Tywin Lannister===<br />
[[File:Tywin and Tyrion.png|thumb|left|300px|Tyrion and his father. ([[Game of Thrones|Tv show]])]]<br />
Tyrion has a difficult relation with [[Tywin Lannister|his father]]. [[Joanna Lannister|His mother]] died giving birth to Tyrion, something his father never forgave him.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 4|Chapter 4]], Tyrion</ref> When his father found out Tyrion had married Tysha he had her raped by his guardsmen and finally by Tyrion himself to teach them a lesson.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 42|Chapter 42]], Tyrion</ref> Her memory haunted him for long{{ref|2|29}} and he began to seek his pleasure with prostitutes.{{ref|2|8}} To his father this brought further shame on their house.{{ref|3|4}} Tyrion himself has thought about killing his father.{{ref|1|42}}<br />
<br />
When he was kidnapped by [[Catelyn Tully]], his father invaded [[the Riverlands]] not out of concern for Tyrion but to defend the honour of their house. Later he had Tyrion fight in the vanguard at the [[Battle of the Green Fork]] which made Tyrion suspect that his father would not have been unhappy to see him killed.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 62|Chapter 62]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
Though their relation is bad his father recognized his capacities enough to send him to King's Landing to act as his temporary replacement.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 69|Chapter 69]], Tyrion</ref> Tyrion did well, keeping the [[Dorne|Dornish]] neutral and building chain across the Blackwater river to trap [[Stannis Baratheon|Stannis]]' fleet something his father acknowledged. As a reward Tyrion asked to be named Tywin's heir, which he was under the laws as Jaime had joined the [[Kingsguard]] and thus was unable to inherit. His father flatly refused saying that he would never allow Tyrion to make [[Casterly Rock]] his whorehouse.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 4|Chapter 4]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
After [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]]'s death Cersei accused Tyrion of murdering him. Tywin formed a court to sit in judgement of his son. Tyrion demanded a trial by battle and when [[Oberyn Martell|his champion]] lost his father sentenced him to death though it is not clear if Tywin really thought Tyrion was guilty. Jaime freed Tyrion the night before his execution. He told him this was to make up for lying to Tyrion that Tysha had been a whore who was after riches while she had been what she claimed to be: a common girl and in love with Tyrion. Armed with this knowledge Tyrion visited his father and found him with Shae, Tyrion's formed mistress. Tyrion killed them both.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 77|Chapter 77]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
===Cersei Lannister===<br />
[[Cersei Lannister]] is Tyrion's older sister and always despised Tyrion. When [[Oberyn Martell]] and his sister [[Elia Martell]] visited Casterly Rock in there teens, they were shown the newborn baby Tyrion by both Jaime and Cersei. Cersei twisted Tyrions penis till he cried only stopping when Jaime intervened, Cersei when she read how Baelor the Blessed imprisoned his sisters for being beautiful went to Tyrion's nursery and pinched him till he cried. Cersei's cruelty to Tyrion only increased when she heard the prophecy of Maggy the Frog and the meaning of the word "Valonquar" (high valyrian for Little Brother). <br />
<br />
She never kept her hatred for Tyrion a secret and made him aware of it throughout his life, Tyrion returned his contempt for Cersei. Tyrion even dreamed of hiring a [[Faceless Men]] to kill his sister.{{ref|2|44}} The only thing that kept the two from harming each other was Jaime. Cersei once stated that she would have killed Tyrion but Jaime would never have forgiven her if she did{{ref|2|54}} and Tyrion would not have harmed Cersei because he loves his brother Jaime and knows how much Cersei means to him. <br />
<br />
The ironic thing is if Cersei had only ever treated Tyrion with even a little love and respect (a thing Tyrion craves for, especially from his family), Tyrion would return this with utter devotion and love to Cersei, the same he feels for his brother Jaime. Unknown to Tyrion is that every time Cersei see's Tyrion or thinks of him all she remember is the prophecy of Maggy the Frog. When Joffrey was murdered Cersei falsely believed Tyrion was responsible and did everything in her power to see him die, even getting his former whore [[Shae]] to lie and humiliate her "Valonquar" further before his death. <br />
<br />
When Tyrion escaped and killed Tywin, Cersei now sees him in every shadow. She offered a lordship to any man who killed Tyrion resulting in mass murder of innocent dwarfs and small children, Cersei will not punish any man who kills an innocent dwarf as she believes it might make the next man hesitate. <br />
<br />
Cersei upon hearing about Mrycella injury at the hands of [[Gerold Dayne]] beleives Dayne was Tyrions catspaw and Tyrion had him cut off Myrcella's ear the way an agent of Cersei ([[Mandon Moore]]) once cut off Tyrion's nose. With her Uncle Kevan now dead by the crossbow bolt (unknown to Cersei is the fact Kevan was killed by [[Varys]]), Cersei will most likely believe Tyrion killed Kevan the same way he killed father and will see even more of him in the shadows and in her nightmares.<br />
<br />
===Jaime Lannister===<br />
[[Jaime Lannister]] is Tyrion's older brother. Growing up Jaime was the only one who ever treated Tyrion with love and affection and for this Tyrion would as he thought forgive his brother for anything.{{ref|1|9}} Jaime was full of guilt over the lie father had him tell Tyrion about Tysha, Jaime was unaware of what his father planned and upon hearing about it lives with further guilt. The guilt had Jaime free his brother even when he was not sure of Tyrions innocence in the murder of his son Joffrey.<br />
<br />
Upon freeing his brother, Jaime finally confessed the truth about Tysha causing an enraged Tyrion to reveal to Jaime the truth about Cersei's infidelity towards Jaime and Tyrion also (falsely) told Jaime he did indeed kill his son Joffrey just to further hurt Jaime.<br />
<br />
Tyrion mentioned to [[Illyrio Mopatis]] that Jaime and Cersei are his to kill. Despite this statement Tyrion while having no doubt about his desire to kill and hurt Cersei still harbours mixed feelings towards Jaime.<br />
<br />
===His Uncles===<br />
From all reports, Tyrion got on well with all of his Uncles, [[Gerion Lannister|Gerion]], [[Tygett Lannister|Tygett]] and [[Kevan Lannister|Kevan]].<br />
Tyrion often recalls how Gerion had him when he was a lad recite all the sixteen wonders of the modern world. Gerion asked Tyrion once what gift he would like for his next nameday, Tyrion asked for a baby dragon and Gerion kindly told Tyrion that all the dragons were extinct and was careful not to hurt his nephews feelings. When [[Tyrek Lannister]] disappeared in the riots of Kingslanding, Tyrion instructed the watch that the lad was to be found alive or dead as his father (Tygett) was always kind to Tyrion.<br />
<br />
Until Tyrion was accused of killing Joffrey, Kevan Lannister was respectful to Tyrion and was one of the few after his injuries during the [[battle of the Blackwater]] to praise him and his abilities.<br />
<br />
===Tysha===<br />
[[Tysha]] is Tyrions first wife. For decades Tyrion believed she was a whore who his brother hired so Tyrion could experience his first woman. Because of this he thought women would only want him for his money.{{ref|2|3}}. When Tyrion found out the truth that Tysha was a girl chance met on the road who seemed to genuinely love Tyrion he felt it was the ultimate betrayal. <br />
<br />
He killed his father for this act more then anything else. <br />
<br />
===Shae===<br />
[[Shae]] was Tyrions whore who he began despite his better judgement to develop feelings towards her. He reminded himself on several occasions that the only thing Shae loved about him was his gold. It turns out his assessment was correct, Shae testified against him in his trial falsely (under Cersei direction) claiming Tyrion planned to kill the King, his father and his sister and seize the throne for himself. The fact that in the end Shae was found in his fathers bed added an extra nail in the coffin. Tyrion killed them both for that betrayal and when he discovered Shae in Tywins bed he finally knew in the end what his father really was, a hypocrite and that he Tyrion was indeed his fathers son. <br />

<div>==Past and present tense==<br />
Hi, I saw you put the complete [[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion page]] to past tense. We discussed the use of present / past tense some time ago in [http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/topic/36598-character-pages/page__p__1798135#entry1798135 this] and [http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/topic/45165-grammar/ this] thread. The outcome was that the time before the beginning of the books should be in past tense and the events in the books in the present tense. It is not a perfect solution and there are pro and contras so if you have an opinion feel free to discuss it. Regards,[[User:Scafloc|Scafloc]] 17:18, 10 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
<br />
Good to know. I can change it all to present. I just wanted it to be uniform. Some was present, some was past so I wasn't sure. Thanks for the tip, [[User:Ryleegregory|kissedbyfire]] 18:53, 10 August 2011 (CDT)<br />

== Relationships ==<br />
<br />
Hi Ryleegregory. We were still (but not very active) working on the [[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion page]]. As stated in [http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/topic/52068-the-point-of-view-characters/ the forum page] the idea was to add the relationship paragraphs to get a better page. So it is more or less a try-out. While I agree that in the current state the content of those paragraphs is a repetition of the existing data I still want to give it a try if it can be improved. So how about two weeks more to try it out? <br />
<br />
Also if we conclude that it is not going to work I would like to add that info on the forum page. Cheers,[[User:Scafloc|Scafloc]] 05:04, 16 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
::Edit: Sorry to bother you again but could you add your thoughts to the forum please? I'd like to use the forum as place where the policies are discussed and decided. I could add you opinion but I think it is better that you do it. That way it is clear that the policies are made by discussion of multiple users (and not my or anybody else's private opinion). I'll ask Pale Griffin as well. [[User:Scafloc|Scafloc]] 06:10, 16 August 2011 (CDT)<br />
<br />
I will make sure to do that. I checked the forum before, but was mainly looking for something specific to Tyrion so I didn't look under the POV Characters thread. Thanks for your patience, [[User:Ryleegregory|kissed.by.fire]] 22:34, 16 August 2011 (CDT)</div>

<br />
Lord '''Davos Seaworth''' of the Rainwood, Admiral of the Narrow Sea, commonly called '''the Onion Knight''', was once a smuggler, but became a landed knight and [[Stannis Baratheon]]'s most honest and loyal supporter. He captains the ''[[Black Betha]]'', his old smuggling ship. He has several sons who serve as captains of their own ships or as officers on his ship. His wife tends his lands on the [[Cape Wrath|Cape of Wrath]]. The sigil of his house is a black ship with an onion on the sails upon a grey field.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 10|Chapter 10]], Davos</ref> Davos will be played by Liam Cunningham in the [[Game of Thrones|TV series]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Originally from [[Flea Bottom]] in [[King's Landing]], Davos was an infamous smuggler who piloted his black-sailed ship into harbors in the dead of night.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 58|Chapter 58]], Davos</ref> During the [[Siege of Storm's End]], while [[Mace Tyrell]] sat outside [[Storm's End]] starving out [[Stannis Baratheon]]'s forces, Davos piloted a small boat filled with onions and other food into the castle. This provided sustenance for Stannis's until the siege could be relieved. Stannis decreed that if he would receive lands and a knighthood for his heroism, he must also pay for his past crimes by losing the first joint from each finger of his left hand. Davos found the ruling just, and agreed to the terms if Stannis would swing the blade himself.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Prologue|Prologue]]</ref> He kept the bones of his joints in a pouch around his neck because he believed they were lucky, having bought a future for his family.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 42|Chapter 42]], Davos</ref> After the end of [[Robert's Rebellion]], and even though Davos's lands fell under [[Renly Baratheon]]'s rule, Davos continued in service to Stannis.<br />
<br />
==Recent Events==<br />
===''A Clash of Kings''===<br />
When [[Stannis Baratheon|Stannis]] declares himself king of the [[Seven Kingdoms]] at the beginning of the [[War of the Five Kings]], Davos supports Stannis's claim. He is strong in the [[Faith of the Seven]], however, and dislikes Stannis's conversion to [[R'hllor]] under the guidance of [[Melisandre]]. Davos goes to several Stormlords to persuade them to support Stannis, but does not have any success.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Prologue|Prologue]]</ref> Davos is then sent north to [[Gulltown]], the [[Fingers]], the [[Three Sisters]] up to [[White Harbor]] to distribute Stannis's proclamation concerning the legitimacy of [[Cersei Lannister]]'s children with [[Robert Baratheon]]. Davos also fights in Stannis's navy at the [[Battle of the Blackwater]], where four of his sons are killed.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 10|Chapter 10]], Davos</ref><br />
<br />
===''A Storm of Swords''===<br />
Davos himself spends several days marooned on the [[Spears of the Merling King]], barren spires in [[Blackwater Bay]], where he hallucinates that the [[Faith of the Seven#The Seven|Seven]] talk to him. After his rescue, he plans to kill [[Melisandre]] for leading Stannis astray, but she foresees the attempt and has him jailed.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 10|Chapter 10]], Davos</ref> Stannis forgives Davos and makes him his [[Hand of the King|Hand]]<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 36|Chapter 36]], Davos</ref>. He is also named Lord of the [[Rainwood]] and Admiral of the [[Narrow Sea]]. Davos again fights Melisandre's influence over Stannis by smuggling [[Robert Baratheon]]'s bastard, [[Edric Storm]], out of [[Dragonstone]] to spare him from being sacrificed to [[R'hllor]]. He also suggests that Stannis go to the aid of the [[Night's Watch]], who is under attack by [[wildlings]].<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 63|Chapter 63]], Davos</ref>.<br />
<br />

<br />
Lord '''Davos Seaworth''' of the Rainwood, Admiral of the Narrow Sea, commonly called '''the Onion Knight''', was once a smuggler, but became a landed knight and [[Stannis Baratheon]]'s most honest and loyal supporter. He captains the ''[[Black Betha]]'', his old smuggling ship. He has several sons who serve as captains of their own ships or as officers on his ship. His wife tends his lands on the [[Cape Wrath|Cape of Wrath]]. The sigil of his house is a black ship with an onion on the sails upon a grey field.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 10|Chapter 10]], Davos</ref> Davos will be played by Liam Cunningham in the TV series.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Originally from [[Flea Bottom]] in [[King's Landing]], Davos was an infamous smuggler who piloted his black-sailed ship into harbors in the dead of night.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 58|Chapter 58]], Davos</ref> During the [[Siege of Storm's End]], while [[Mace Tyrell]] sat outside [[Storm's End]] starving out [[Stannis Baratheon]]'s forces, Davos piloted a small boat filled with onions and other food into the castle. This provided sustenance for Stannis's until the siege could be relieved. Stannis decreed that if he would receive lands and a knighthood for his heroism, he must also pay for his past crimes by losing the first joint from each finger of his left hand. Davos found the ruling just, and agreed to the terms if Stannis would swing the blade himself.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Prologue|Prologue]]</ref> He kept the bones of his joints in a pouch around his neck because he believed they were lucky, having bought a future for his family.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 42|Chapter 42]], Davos</ref> After the end of [[Robert's Rebellion]], and even though Davos's lands fell under [[Renly Baratheon]]'s rule, Davos continued in service to Stannis.<br />
<br />
==Recent Events==<br />
===''A Clash of Kings''===<br />
When [[Stannis Baratheon|Stannis]] declares himself king of the [[Seven Kingdoms]] at the beginning of the [[War of the Five Kings]], Davos supports Stannis's claim. He is strong in the [[Faith of the Seven]], however, and dislikes Stannis's conversion to [[R'hllor]] under the guidance of [[Melisandre]]. Davos goes to several Stormlords to persuade them to support Stannis, but does not have any success.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Prologue|Prologue]]</ref> Davos is then sent north to [[Gulltown]], the [[Fingers]], the [[Three Sisters]] up to [[White Harbor]] to distribute Stannis's proclamation concerning the legitimacy of [[Cersei Lannister]]'s children with [[Robert Baratheon]]. Davos also fights in Stannis's navy at the [[Battle of the Blackwater]], where four of his sons are killed.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 10|Chapter 10]], Davos</ref><br />
<br />
===''A Storm of Swords''===<br />
Davos himself spends several days marooned on the [[Spears of the Merling King]], barren spires in [[Blackwater Bay]], where he hallucinates that the [[Faith of the Seven#The Seven|Seven]] talk to him. After his rescue, he plans to kill [[Melisandre]] for leading Stannis astray, but she foresees the attempt and has him jailed.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 10|Chapter 10]], Davos</ref> Stannis forgives Davos and makes him his [[Hand of the King|Hand]]<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 36|Chapter 36]], Davos</ref>. He is also named Lord of the [[Rainwood]] and Admiral of the [[Narrow Sea]]. Davos again fights Melisandre's influence over Stannis by smuggling [[Robert Baratheon]]'s bastard, [[Edric Storm]], out of [[Dragonstone]] to spare him from being sacrificed to [[R'hllor]]. He also suggests that Stannis go to the aid of the [[Night's Watch]], who is under attack by [[wildlings]].<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 63|Chapter 63]], Davos</ref>.<br />

Red Keep
2011-09-05T17:33:37Z
<p>Ryleegregory: /* Tower of the Hand */ added that tower was burned to the ground</p>
<hr />
<div>The '''Red Keep''' is the royal castle of the [[Seven Kingdoms]]. It is surrounded by the city of [[King's Landing]], where it sits on Aegon's Hill. <br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Aegon first set foot on [[Westeros]] in the area of [[King's Landing]] at the start of his [[War of Conquest]]. On the highest of the three hills of the area, he built his first fort of earth and wood.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 18|Chapter 18]], Catelyn</ref> After the completion of the Conquest, Aegon ordered the construction of a permanent royal castle on the hill. The construction was completed during the reign of [[Maegor I]], who killed all those who worked on the castle to preserve its secrets.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 18|Chapter 18]], Catelyn</ref><br />
<br />
==General description==<br />
The Red Keep is made of pale red stone. It has seven massive drum-towers with iron ramparts. Massive curtain walls surround the keep, with nests and crenelations for archers.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 18|Chapter 18]], Catelyn</ref> Thick stone parapets, some four feet high, protect the outer edge of the wall ramparts. The heads of traitor's are traditionally placed on iron spikes between the crenels at the gatehouse. The walls have great bronze gates and portcullises, with narrow postern doors nearby. The immense barbican has a cobbled square in front of it. Behind the walls are many small inner yards. The courtyards are filled with stray cats. <br />
<br />
Inside, the Keep has several gathering halls, including the Great Hall, which can seat 1,000, and the Queen's Ballroom, which can seat about 100. Relics of the Targaryens, such as dusty suits of black armor with dragon scales cresting their helms, sit in hallways. Doors are made of oak banded with black iron. Rushes are used on the floors as the weather cools. Overall, the Keep is not particularly large, being smaller than [[Winterfell]].<br />
<br />
==Specific locations==<br />
<br />
===Maegor's Holdfast===<br />
Maegor's Holdfast is a massive square fortress inside the heart of the Red Keep behind walls twelve feet thick and a dry moat lined with iron spikes. It is a castle-within-a-castle. The royal apartments are in Maegor's Holdfast.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 47|Chapter 47]], Eddard</ref> The king's bedchamber has twin hearths. <br />
<br />
====Queen's Ballroom====<br />
The Holdfast contains the Queen's Ballroom, a hall only half as big as the Small Hall in the Tower of the Hand. The Ballroom seats one hundred and has beaten silver mirrors behind the wall sconces which makes the torch's light seem twice as bright. Its walls are paneled with richly carved wood and it has a gallery above the main floor. High arched windows sit along the south wall.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 57|Chapter 57]], Sansa</ref><br />
<br />
===Tower of the Hand===<br />
The Tower of the Hand is the chambers of the [[Hand of the King]]. Its Small Hall is a long room with a high vaulted ceiling and bench space for two hundred.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 22|Chapter 22]], Arya</ref> The private audience chamber is not as large as the king's, but has Myrish rugs, wall hangings, and a golden-tinted round window that give it a sense of intimacy. The Tower also has a [[w:Solar (room)|solar]], and a [[w:garderobe|garderobe]]. The tower has tall windows.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 39|Chapter 39]], Eddard</ref> The tower was burned to the ground with [[wildfire]] by order of Queen [[Cersei Lannister]] around [[300 AL]].<ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 12|Chapter 12]], Cersei</ref><br />
<br />
===Maidenvault===<br />
The Maidenvault is a long, slate-roofed keep located behind the royal sept. Its entry has two tall carved doors. [[Baelor I]] confined his sisters there when he came to the throne because, he claimed, it would prevent any carnal thoughts.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 6|Chapter 6]], Sansa</ref> <br />
<br />
===White Sword Tower===<br />
White Sword Tower is the chambers of the [[Kingsguard]]. It is a slender structure of four stories built into an angle of the castle wall overlooking the bay. A round white room, known as the Round Room, has whitewashed stone walls hung with white woolen tapestries, forms the first floor. The [[w:undercroft|undercroft]] holds arms and armor, the second and third floors the small spare sleeping cells of the six brothers of the Kingsguard, and the topmost floor is given over to the Lord Commander's apartments. His rooms are spare as well, but spacious, and they stand above the outer walls.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 67|Chapter 67]], Jaime</ref><br />
<br />
===Great Hall===<br />
The Great Hall is the throne room of the king. The [[Iron Throne]] sits on a raised iron dais with high and narrow steps. A long carpet stretches from the throne to the Hall's great oak-and-bronze doors. The Hall itself is cavernous, and can sit 1,000 people. It is oriented north to south, with high, narrow windows on the eastern and western walls. Skulls of the Targaryen [[dragon]]s once adorned the walls, but [[Robert Baratheon]] had them replaced with tapestries at the beginning of his reign.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 43|Chapter 43]], Eddard</ref><br />
<br />
===Traitor's Walk===<br />
Traitor's Walk is the squat, half-round tower that contains the entrance to the dungeons. The top floor holds the cells for the prisoners who were to be kept in a degree of comfort. The entrance to the dungeons sits on the ground floor of the tower, with the dungeons beneath the tower. Between the two prisons are rooms for the King's Justice, the Chief Gaoler and the Lord Confessor.<ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 27|Chapter 27]], Jaime</ref><br />
<br />
===Dungeon===<br />
The dungeon of the Red Keep has four levels. On the upper level are cells with high narrow windows where common criminals are confined together. The second level has smaller, personal cells without windows for highborn captives. Torches in the halls casting light through the bars. The third level cells, the "black cells", are smaller still, and have doors of wood so that no light enters them. These are reserved for the most vile and dangerous prisoners. The lowest level is used for torture. It is supposedly safer to go through the fourth level of the dungeons in darkness, because there are things one would not wish to see.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 77|Chapter 77]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
===Secret passages===<br />
The Red Keep has a network of secret passages and tunnels. King Maegor had them built to ennable him to make a quick escape should his enemies ever trap him. The tunnels are supposedly full of traps. Some tunnels are of stone, while others are earth supported by timbers. Some of them are so small that a grown man must crawl through them. Some pass very close to other rooms in the Keep, allowing a hidden person to eavesdrop on conversations. One secret passage leads from the bedchamber of the Tower of the Hand to the outside. The bedchamber used by [[Varys]] contains a secret lever that causes a stone slab to float up and reveal a staircase. There is also a secret way to get out of the Red Keep onto the cliffs facing the sea. Narrow handholds, impossible to see from the ground, have been cut into the rock so one may climb down to a trail beside the Blackwater.<br />
<br />
===Godswood===<br />
The Godswood at the Red Keep is an acre of elm, alder and black cottonwood trees that overlook the [[Blackwater Rush]]. The heart tree is a great oak, whose limbs have become overgrown with smokeberry vines.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 25|Chapter 25]], Eddard</ref><br />
<br />
===Sept===<br />
The royal sept inside the Red Keep has crystal windows placed high in the walls. There are seven altars, one for each of the aspects of the [[Faith of the Seven]].<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 57|Chapter 57]], Sansa</ref> It is located in front of the Maidenvault.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 6|Chapter 6]], Sansa</ref><br />

Hand of the King
2011-09-05T17:29:05Z
<p>Ryleegregory: added link to tower of the hand</p>
<hr />
<div>The '''Hand of the King''' is the king's chief advisor and executor of his command in the [[Seven Kingdoms]]. Duties of the Hand include commanding the king's armies, drafting laws, dispensing justice, and generally managing the day-to-day running of the kingdom. The Hand may act on the king's behalf when he is indisposed, and sit on the [[Iron Throne]] while doing so. The Hand also sits on the [[small council]] and will run the council if the king is not present. <br />
<br />
The office typically makes the Hand the second most powerful man in the kingdom next to the king, though some Hands had the reputation of ruling their kings. It is considered by some to be a difficult and unglamorous job of great responsibility. A popular saying goes, "What the king dreams, the Hand builds," but the lowborn say, "The king eats, and the Hand takes the shit."<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 4|Chapter 4]], Eddard</ref> Many able men have failed in the office throughout history.<br />
<br />
The Hand resides in a tower of the [[Red Keep]] called the [[Tower of the Hand]]. His badge of office always includes a hand, though the each Hand can design his own. A necklace of hands linked into a chain is one possible badge. Servants of the Hand wear the emblem of a hand.<br />

<br />
Lord '''Brynden Rivers''', called "'''Bloodraven'''", was a legitimized [[Great Bastards|Great Bastard]] of [[Aegon IV]] and [[Mylessa Blackwood]], his sixth mistress. His personal arms were a white dragon with red eyes breathing red flame on a black field. During his life, he was a Targaryen loyalist during the [[Blackfyre Rebellion]], the [[Hand of the King|Hand]] of [[Aerys I]], and [[Lord Commander of the Night's Watch|Lord Commander]] of the [[Night's Watch]].<ref>[[The Sworn Sword]], page 43</ref> [[Shiera Seastar]], another bastard of [[Aegon IV]], was his mistress. His half brother, [[Aegor Rivers|Bittersteel]], desired Shiera also, which served in increasing the enmity between the two. He was known to be a sorcerer. He is widely believed to be the [[three-eyed crow]]. See [[Three-eyed crow/Theories]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
An albino, Brynden had milk white skin, long white hair, and red eyes. He had a red birthmark that extended from his throat up to his right cheek. Some thought that it resembled a bird.<ref>[[The Sworn Sword]], page 5</ref> Brynden was not as tall or muscular as his half-brothers. He typically wore the colors of "blood and smoke", with smoke being a dark grey that was mottled and streaked with black. Because his skin was sensitive to light, he usually went about cloaked and hooded. He lost an eye during the [[Blackfyre Rebellion]] and rarely covered the empty socket with a patch. He wore his white hair straight and to his shoulders, with the front brushed forward to cover his missing eye.<ref>[[The Mystery Knight]]</ref><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
A strong warrior, Brynden carried the [[Valyrian steel|Valyrian]] sword [[Dark Sister]], but he preferred his [[weirwood]] longbow and was an expert archer. During the [[Blackfyre Rebellion]], Brynden remained loyal to [[Daeron II]], and commanded a group of longbowmen called the [[Raven's Teeth]]. At the [[Battle of the Redgrass Field]], he lost an eye fighting his half-brother, [[Aegor Rivers]]. His Raven's Teeth ultimately gained the [[Weeping Ridge]], and rained arrows down on [[Daemon Blackfyre]] from 300 yards away.<ref>[[The Sworn Sword]], page 33</ref> Daemon and his twin sons were killed. For this, people would name him a kinslayer.<br />
<br />
Brynden served on the [[small council]] of Daeron II. On the council he advocated a hard line against rebels.<ref>[[The Sworn Sword]]</ref> After the rebellion, he became [[Hand of the King]] to [[Aerys I]].

<br />
Lord '''Brynden Rivers''', called "'''Bloodraven'''", was a legitimized [[Great Bastards|Great Bastard]] of [[Aegon IV]] and [[Mylessa Blackwood]], his sixth mistress. His personal arms were a white dragon with red eyes breathing red flame on a black field. During his life, he was a Targaryen loyalist during the [[Blackfyre Rebellion]], the [[Hand of the King|Hand]] of [[Aerys I]], and [[Lord Commander of the Night's Watch|Lord Commander]] of the [[Night's Watch]].<ref>[[The Sworn Sword]], page 43</ref> [[Shiera Seastar]], another bastard of [[Aegon IV]], was his mistress. His half brother, [[Aegor Rivers|Bittersteel]], desired Shiera also, which served in increasing the enmity between the two. He was known to be a sorcerer. He is widely believed to be the [[three-eyed crow]]. See [[Three-eyed crow/Theories]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
An albino, Brynden had milk white skin, long white hair, and red eyes. He had a red birthmark that extended from his throat up to his right cheek. Some thought that it resembled a bird.<ref>[[The Sworn Sword]], page 5</ref> Brynden was not as tall or muscular as his half-brothers. He typically wore the colors of "blood and smoke", with smoke being a dark grey that was mottled and streaked with black. Because his skin was sensitive to light, he usually went about cloaked and hooded. He lost an eye during the [[Blackfyre Rebellion]] and rarely covered the empty socket with a patch. He wore his white hair straight and to his shoulders, with the front brushed forward to cover his missing eye.<ref>[[The Mystery Knight]]</ref><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
A strong warrior, Brynden carried the [[Valyrian steel|Valyrian]] sword [[Dark Sister]], but he preferred his [[weirwood]] longbow and was an expert archer. During the [[Blackfyre Rebellion]], Brynden remained loyal to [[Daeron II]], and commanded a group of longbowmen called the [[Raven's Teeth]]. At the [[Battle of the Redgrass Field]], he lost an eye fighting his half-brother, [[Aegor Rivers]]. His Raven's Teeth ultimately gained the [[Weeping Ridge]], and rained arrows down on [[Daemon Blackfyre]] from 300 yards away.<ref>[[The Sworn Sword]], page 33</ref> Daemon and his twin sons were killed. For this, people would name him a kinslayer.<br />
<br />
Brynden served on the [[small council]] of Daeron II. On the council he advocated a hard line against rebels.<ref>[[The Sworn Sword]]</ref> After the rebellion, he became [[Hand of the King]] to [[Aerys I]]. As "Lord Bloodraven," he was rumored to be a sinister sorcerer, effectively ruling the kingdom “with spies and spells." The events of ''[[The Sworn Sword]]'' take place during his reign as Hand, though he does not personally take part in the story. Somehow he ended up imprisoned in the Black Cells and around [[233 AL]]. When King [[Aegon V]] ascended to the throne, he was sent to the [[Wall]]. Eventually he rose to [[Lord Commander of the Night's Watch|Lord Commander]] of the [[Night's Watch]].

'''Tyrion Lannister''', is [[Tywin Lannister|Tywin]] and [[Joanna Lannister|Joanna Lannister's]] third and youngest child, is a misshapen dwarf nicknamed '''The Imp''' and '''The Halfman'''. He is shrewd, educated, and calculating, but receives little respect for this from his father, Tywin.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 70|Chapter 70]], Tyrion</ref> He is capable of cruelty to his enemies, but also has great sympathy for fellow outcasts and the mistreated.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 24|Chapter 24]], Bran</ref><ref>[[Game of Thrones]], [[Cripples, Bastards, and Broken Things]]</ref><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Early in life, Tyrion found himself ostracised from regular family life, especially by his father and sister. When Tyrion was thirteen, he and [[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]] rescued a common girl, [[Tysha]], from some bandits. While Jaime went after the bandits Tyrion took care of Tysha. To his amazement Tysha liked him, and they eventually made love. Tyrion became so enamoured by her that he bribed a septon and married her in secret. Their happiness lasted only two weeks, however, before Tyrion's father got news of the wedding. Lord Tywin commanded Jaime to say that Tysha was a prostitute whom Jaime had hired for Tyrion's benefit. Because the whore had presumed to marry a Lannister, Tywin had Tysha repeatedly raped before Tyrion's eyes, and ultimately forced the boy to do the same.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 42|Chapter 42]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
==Recent Events==<br />
===''A Game of Thrones''===<br />
Tyrion joins the royal family on their fateful trip to [[Winterfell]]. After [[Bran Stark|Bran Stark's]] fall, Tyrion makes [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]] offer his sympathies to Bran's parents, though his nephew only obeys after Tyrion hits him. Tyrion is suspicious of the accident and notices his siblings exchanging a look when he tells them that Bran is expected to survive.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 9|Chapter 9]], Tyrion</ref> When the royal family leaves Winterfell, Tyrion rides north to the [[Wall]] with two guards, [[Jyck]] and [[Morrec]]; the [[Night's Watch]] ranger, [[Benjen Stark]]; and new recruit, [[Jon Snow]]. While at the Wall, Tyrion sees first-hand the poor state of the Night’s Watch.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 13|Chapter 13]], Tyrion</ref> The Watch is dwindling in numbers, ranging parties are going missing more often than usual, and [[wildlings]] are fleeing south like never before. He is implored by [[Lord Commander of the Night's Watch|Lord Commander]] [[Jeor Mormont]] to make King [[Robert Baratheon|Robert]] and his father, Lord [[Tywin Lannister|Tywin]] aware of the Watch’s needs. Also during his time at the Wall, Tyrion befriends and advises Jon Snow. Tyrion sees himself as an outcast on similar ground as the bastard-born Snow, and helps Jon cope with his identity and lot in life. Before Tyrion leaves the Wall, Jon asks him to help his brother, Bran, in the same way that he helped Jon. Tyrion promises to do so.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 21|Chapter 21]], Tyrion</ref> On his way back south, Tyrion stops at Winterfell. Despite initially receiving enmity from [[Robb Stark]] and an attack from the Stark [[direwolf|direwolves]] at his arrival, Tyrion gives Maester [[Luwin]] plans for a special saddle that will allow Bran to ride a horse, despite his disability, and is offered rooms at Winterfell. He declines, choosing to stay at an inn nearby.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 24|Chapter 24]], Bran</ref><br />
[[File:Tyrion arrested by Catelyn.png|thumb|300px|left|Tyrion arrested by [[Catelyn Tully|Catelyn]].]]<br />
<br />
Sometime later, Tyrion accidentally meets [[Catelyn Stark]] at a roadside inn called the [[Crossroads Inn|Crossroads]]. Unknown to Tyrion, Catelyn was told by [[Petyr Baelish]] that the dagger used in a failed assassination attempt on Bran belongs to Tyrion. As a result, Catelyn, with the help of some of her father's bannermen present at the inn, arrests Tyrion and takes him to the [[Eyrie]] for trial.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 28|Chapter 28]], Catelyn</ref><ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 31|Chapter 31]], Tyrion</ref> There [[Lysa Arryn]] puts him on trial for that crime, as well as the murder of her husband, [[Jon Arryn]], although he is innocent of both. To break him, Lysa locks him up in the sky cells, which have one wall of only sky. While confined in the sky cell, Tyrion wonders at the true perpetrators of his accused crimes. He thinks it possible that his siblings were responsible for both, but that Bran’s assassination attempt seems too clumsily done to be Jaime or Cersei’s work. Tyrion eventually manages to bribe his gaoler, [[Mord]], into telling Lysa that he is ready to confess. When Lysa summons the complete court of the [[Vale]] to hear his confession, he demands a trial by combat.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 38|Chapter 38]], Tyrion</ref><br />
[[File:Sky cells.png|thumb|300px|right|The Sky cells.]]<br />
<br />
Tyrion's champion, the sellsword, [[Bronn]], kills [[Vardis Egen]], Lysa's champion, and thus Tyrion is free to go.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 40|Chapter 40]], Catelyn</ref> He is sent from the Eyrie on the dangerous high road, where he recruits the [[mountain clans of the Vale]] into his service to prevent them from killing him and Bronn.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 42|Chapter 42]], Tyrion</ref> The group eventually reaches the Lannister army led by Lord Tywin. While camped with the Lannister host, Tyrion is given a number of new servants, including a new squire, [[Podrick Payne]]. Tyrion also takes a young prostitute named [[Shae]] into his service.<br />
<br />
Along with his new troops, he later fights in the van at the [[Battle of the Green Fork]] against Stark forces commanded by [[Roose Bolton]].<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 62|Chapter 62]], Tyrion</ref> The battle is a tactical victory for the [[House Lannister|Lannisters]], though it turns out to be a strategical loss. With the main Lannister force held up at the [[Trident#Green Fork|Green Fork]] by Bolton, the other Stark army is able to creep up on Jaime's unsuspecting army in what becomes the [[Battle of the Whispering Wood|Battle of the Whispering Wood]]. Jaime himself is captured. After the battles, Tywin makes Tyrion his temporary replacement as [[Hand of the King]], but forbids him from taking Shae along to [[King's Landing]]. Tyrion disobeys, and Shae accompanies him in secret.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 69|Chapter 69]], Tyrion</ref><br />

[[File:Shae.png|thumb|200px|left|[[Shae]]]]<br />
Tyrion arrives in [[King's Landing]] and takes his place as [[Hand of the King|Hand]], much to [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei’s]] dismay.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 2|Chapter 2]], Sansa</ref> He takes up residence in the [[Tower of the Hand]], despite warnings from [[Petyr Baelish]] of the fate of the last few Hands. Tyrion gets right to work fixing many of the problems created by [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]] and Cersei. Cersei has tripled the [[City Watch of King's Landing|City Watch]], put craftsmen to work on defenses, and commissioned immense amounts of [[wildfire]] from the [[Alchemists' Guild]]. These measures are paid for by a tax on anyone entering King’s Landing. The city is also starving, due to halt of goods from the rebel [[Riverlands]] and [[Reach]].<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 3|Chapter 3]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
Tyrion replaces [[Janos Slynt]] as Commander of the City Watch with Ser [[Jacelyn Bywater]], and sends Slynt and a few of his friends to the [[Wall]].<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 8|Chapter 8]], Tyrion</ref> He also removes the heads of the executed [[House Stark|Stark]] household from the walls of the [[Red Keep]].<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 3|Chapter 3]], Tyrion</ref> He next concocts a plan to weed out Cersei’s informers on the [[small council]]. He tells Petyr Baelish, [[Varys]], and Grand Maester [[Pycelle]] each different plans that he has [[Myrcella Baratheon|Myrcella]] and [[Tommen Baratheon|Tommen]].<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 17|Chapter 17]], Tyrion</ref> When Cersei confronts him about the plan that he divulged to Pycelle, Tyrion knows that Pycelle is the informer.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 20|Chapter 20]], Tyrion</ref> Tyrion’s true plan is to send Myrcella to [[Dorne]] to be betrothed to Prince [[Trystane Martell]]. To further garner Dornish support, he offers Prince [[Doran Martell]] a seat on the small council and the men that murdered Doran’s sister [[Elia Martell|Elia]].<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 17|Chapter 17]], Tyrion</ref><ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 20|Chapter 20]], Tyrion</ref> For his part in giving Cersei private information, Pycelle is shaved and confined to the black cells beneath the keep.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 25|Chapter 25]], Tyrion</ref><br />

Tyrion sets [[Shae]] up in a manse outside the [[Red Keep]] to keep her existence in King’s Landing a secret.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 8|Chapter 8]], Tyrion</ref> Varys, however, knows her location, and helps Tyrion use [[Chataya's brothel]] as a front.

Tyrion’s cousin, Ser [[Cleos Frey]], brings peace terms from [[Robb Stark]], but Tyrion deems them unacceptable.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 20|Chapter 20]], Tyrion</ref> Robb asks that [[Sansa Stark|Sansa]] and [[Arya Stark]] (although Arya is not, in fact, held at King's Landing) be released in exchange for all captives save [[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]], and that Joffrey renounce all claims to the [[North]] and Riverlands.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 7|Chapter 7]], Catelyn</ref> Tyrion instead sends Cleos back with the counter offer that he will release Sansa and Arya along with a number of captive [[House Stark|Stark]] bannerman in return for Robb’s fealty and Jaime’s release. Tyrion meanwhile, however, sets up an escape plan for Jamie to be orchestrated by men in Cleos’s party.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 25|Chapter 25]], Tyrion</ref> Tyrion is also visited by Ser [[Alliser Thorne]] of the [[Night's Watch]].

When [[Renly Baratheon]] is murdered, Tyrion seizes the opportunity to bring the [[House Tyrell|Tyrells]] to the Lannister cause. He sends Petyr Baelish to treat with the Tyrells and offers Joffrey in marriage to [[Margaery Tyrell]].<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 36|Chapter 36]], Tyrion</ref><br />

When Stannis’s forces attack King's Landing, later called the [[Battle of the Blackwater]], Tyrion sets in place a giant chain in [[Blackwater Bay]], which traps the many ships, Lannister and [[House Baratheon|Baratheon]] alike, in the bay.

Upon the return of his father to King's Landing, Tyrion finds himself demoted to [[Master of Coin]] and forced into a political marriage with [[Sansa Stark]]. Though they are married for over a month, Tyrion never forces consummation on his unwilling bride, a decision that earns him scorn and jest in court, although Sansa is grateful for his mercy. Sansa flees in the aftermath of [[Joffrey Baratheon]]'s murder, for which Tyrion is unjustly accused. Cersei brings Tyrion's prostitute Shae to testify at his trial and humiliate him before the court. Tyrion again seeks trial by combat through a champion. This time [[Oberyn Martell]] of Dorne stands for him, but loses to [[Gregor Clegane]], although not without mortally wounding him first.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 70|Chapter 70]], Tyrion</ref> <br />
<br />
Condemned to death, Tyrion is freed from his prison cell by his brother Jaime and a reluctant [[Varys]]. During their escape, Jaime reveals that their father had made him lie about Tysha being a prostitute, and that she was just a peasant girl who had genuinely loved Tyrion. Tyrion sees this as an unforgivable betrayal and abandons Jaime, promising retribution. Before leaving the castle, Tyrion visits his father's room and finds Shae there, whom he kills. He then confronts his father, demanding he tell him what became of Tysha. Tywin tells Tyrion that she went "wherever whores go." Tyrion then slays his father and escapes.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 77|Chapter 77]], Tyrion</ref> He flees [[Across the Narrow Sea|across the Narrow Sea]] to an unknown destination chosen by Varys. After his escape, Cersei offers a lordship for any that brings her Tyrion.<br />
<br />
===''A Feast of Crows''===<br />
Tyrion remains in his flight [[Across the Narrow Sea|across the Narrow Sea]]. Meanwhile, in King's Landing, Cersei's bounty on Tyrion results in the killing of a number of dwarfs and children.<br />
<br />
===''A Dance with Dragons''===<br />
Tyrion arrives at the manse of [[Illyrio Mopatis]] in [[Pentos]]. There Illyrio tells Tyrion of [[Daenerys Targaryen]] and her three dragons. He then sends Tyrion, along with other retainers Griff, Young Griff, Ser [[Rolly Duckfield]], Septa [[Lemore]], and [[Haldon]], called Halfmaester, aboard the ship the ''[[Shy Maid]]'' to [[Volantis]]. During the trip he assumes the aliases Yollo and Hugor Hill. There they plan to meet up with Daenerys to strengthen her cause. En route, Tyrion realizes that Griff is really the exiled lord [[Jon Connington]], and Young Griff is [[Aegon Targaryen]], saved from the [[Sack of King's Landing]]. During the journey the boat is ambushed by [[Stone men]] and Tyrion is knocked overboard he would have drowned had Jon Connington not dived in to save him.<br />
<br />
While in [[Selhorys]] Tyrion under Haldons direction plays a game of [[Cyvasse]] with [[Qavo Nogarys]], a custom offical in order to gain information. Tyrion later visits a brothel, Tyrion is recognized and captured by Ser [[Jorah Mormont]]. Ser Jorah plans to bring Tyrion to Daenerys to regain her favour. During the journey, a dwarf woman named [[Penny]], who tried to kill Tyrion in Volantis, joins the pair as they travel to [[Meereen]] to reach Daenery, and eventually befriends Tyrion. Tyrion, Penny and Mormont are captured, however, by a [[Yunkai'i]] slaver and bought by [[Yezzan zo Qaggaz]].<br />
Tyrion and Penny are forced to perform in the [[fighting pits]] fighting a mock joust against one another, unknown to the pair was that lions were to be released at the end, but [[Daenerys Targaryen]] upon learning of this puts a stop to the release of lions as she knew the dwarfs could not defend themselves with wooden weapons.<br />
<br />
After their new master dies of a disease known as "The Pale Mare," the trio escapes. Tyrion arranges for the three to join the sellsword company the [[Second Sons]], under the command of [[Ben Plumm|Brown Ben Plumm]]. In exchange for the support of the Second Sons, Tyrion writes notes promising the company great wealth when he becomes Lord of [[Casterly Rock]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Tyrion is a misshapen dwarf with stunted legs, a jutting forehead, mismatched eyes of green and black, and lank, white-blonde hair.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 5|Chapter 5]], Jon</ref> When he grows a beard, it contains both blonde and black hair. After the [[Battle of the Blackwater]], Tyrion has a grisly facial scar that has removed most of his nose.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 4|Chapter 4]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===Tywin Lannister===<br />
[[File:Tywin and Tyrion.png|thumb|left|550px|Tyrion in discussion with his father]]<br />
Tyrion has a difficult relation with [[Tywin Lannister|his father]]. [[Joanna Lannister|His mother]] died giving birth to Tyrion, something his father never forgave him.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 4|Chapter 4]], Tyrion</ref> When his father found out Tyrion had married Tysha he had her raped by his guardsmen and finally by Tyrion himself to teach them a lesson.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 42|Chapter 42]], Tyrion</ref> Her memory haunted him for long{{ref|2|29}} and he began to seek his pleasure with prostitutes.{{ref|2|8}} To his father this brought further shame on their house.{{ref|3|4}} Tyrion himself has thought about killing his father.{{ref|1|42}}<br />
<br />
When he was kidnapped by [[Catelyn Tully]], his father invaded [[the Riverlands]] not out of concern for Tyrion but to defend the honour of their house. Later he had Tyrion fight in the vanguard at the [[Battle of the Green Fork]] which made Tyrion suspect that his father would not have been unhappy to see him killed.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 62|Chapter 62]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
Though their relation is bad his father recognized his capacities enough to send him to King's Landing to act as his temporary replacement.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 69|Chapter 69]], Tyrion</ref> Tyrion did well, keeping the [[Dorne|Dornish]] neutral and building chain across the Blackwater river to trap [[Stannis Baratheon|Stannis]]' fleet something his father acknowledged. As a reward Tyrion asked to be named Tywin's heir, which he was under the laws as Jaime had joined the [[Kingsguard]] and thus was unable to inherit. His father flatly refused saying that he would never allow Tyrion to make [[Casterly Rock]] his whorehouse.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 4|Chapter 4]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
After [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]]'s death Cersei accused Tyrion of murdering him. Tywin formed a court to sit in judgement of his son. Tyrion demanded a trial by battle and when [[Oberyn Martell|his champion]] lost his father sentenced him to death though it is not clear if Tywin really thought Tyrion was guilty. Jaime freed Tyrion the night before his execution. He told him this was to make up for lying to Tyrion that Tysha had been a whore who was after riches while she had been what she claimed to be: a common girl and in love with Tyrion. Armed with this knowledge Tyrion visited his father and found him with Shae, Tyrion's formed mistress. Tyrion killed them both.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 77|Chapter 77]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
===Cersei Lannister===<br />
[[Cersei Lannister]] is Tyrion's older sister and always despised Tyrion. When [[Oberyn Martell]] and his sister [[Elia Martell]] visited Casterly Rock in there teens, they were shown the newborn baby Tyrion by both Jaime and Cersei. Cersei twisted Tyrions penis till he cried only stopping when Jaime intervened, Cersei when she read how Baelor the Blessed imprisoned his sisters for being beautiful went to Tyrion's nursery and pinched him till he cried. Cersei's cruelty to Tyrion only increased when she heard the prophecy of Maggy the Frog and the meaning of the word "Valonquar" (high valyrian for Little Brother). <br />
<br />
She never kept her hatred for Tyrion a secret and made him aware of it throughout his life, Tyrion returned his contempt for Cersei. Tyrion even dreamed of hiring a [[Faceless Men]] to kill his sister.{{ref|2|44}} The only thing that kept the two from harming each other was Jaime. Cersei once stated that she would have killed Tyrion but Jaime would never have forgiven her if she did{{ref|2|54}} and Tyrion would not have harmed Cersei because he loves his brother Jaime and knows how much Cersei means to him. <br />
<br />
The ironic thing is if Cersei had only ever treated Tyrion with even a little love and respect (a thing Tyrion craves for, especially from his family), Tyrion would return this with utter devotion and love to Cersei, the same he feels for his brother Jaime. Unknown to Tyrion is that every time Cersei see's Tyrion or thinks of him all she remember is the prophecy of Maggy the Frog. When Joffrey was murdered Cersei falsely believed Tyrion was responsible and did everything in her power to see him die, even getting his former whore [[Shae]] to lie and humiliate her "Valonquar" further before his death. <br />
<br />
When Tyrion escaped and killed Tywin, Cersei now sees him in every shadow. She offered a lordship to any man who killed Tyrion resulting in mass murder of innocent dwarfs and small children, Cersei will not punish any man who kills an innocent dwarf as she believes it might make the next man hesitate. <br />
<br />
Cersei upon hearing about Mrycella injury at the hands of [[Gerold Dayne]] beleives Dayne was Tyrions catspaw and Tyrion had him cut off Myrcella's ear the way an agent of Cersei ([[Mandon Moore]]) once cut off Tyrion's nose. With her Uncle Kevan now dead by the crossbow bolt (unknown to Cersei is the fact Kevan was killed by [[Varys]]), Cersei will most likely believe Tyrion killed Kevan the same way he killed father and will see even more of him in the shadows and in her nightmares.<br />
<br />
===Jaime Lannister===<br />
[[Jaime Lannister]] is Tyrion's older brother. Growing up Jaime was the only one who ever treated Tyrion with love and affection and for this Tyrion would as he thought forgive his brother for anything.{{ref|1|9}} Jaime was full of guilt over the lie father had him tell Tyrion about Tysha, Jaime was unaware of what his father planned and upon hearing about it lives with further guilt. The guilt had Jaime free his brother even when he was not sure of Tyrions innocence in the murder of his son Joffrey.<br />
<br />
Upon freeing his brother, Jaime finally confessed the truth about Tysha causing an enraged Tyrion to reveal to Jaime the truth about Cersei's infidelity towards Jaime and Tyrion also (falsely) told Jaime he did indeed kill his son Joffrey just to further hurt Jaime.<br />
<br />
Tyrion mentioned to [[Illyrio Mopatis]] that Jaime and Cersei are his to kill. Despite this statement Tyrion while having no doubt about his desire to kill and hurt Cersei still harbours mixed feelings towards Jaime.<br />
<br />
===His Uncles===<br />
From all reports, Tyrion got on well with all of his Uncles, [[Gerion Lannister|Gerion]], [[Tygett Lannister|Tygett]] and [[Kevan Lannister|Kevan]].<br />
Tyrion often recalls how Gerion had him when he was a lad recite all the sixteen wonders of the modern world. Gerion asked Tyrion once what gift he would like for his next nameday, Tyrion asked for a baby dragon and Gerion kindly told Tyrion that all the dragons were extinct and was careful not to hurt his nephews feelings. When [[Tyrek Lannister]] disappeared in the riots of Kingslanding, Tyrion instructed the watch that the lad was to be found alive or dead as his father (Tygett) was always kind to Tyrion.<br />
<br />
Until Tyrion was accused of killing Joffrey, Kevan Lannister was respectful to Tyrion and was one of the few after his injuries during the [[battle of the Blackwater]] to praise him and his abilities.<br />
<br />
===Tysha===<br />
[[Tysha]] is Tyrions first wife. For decades Tyrion believed she was a whore who his brother hired so Tyrion could experience his first woman. Because of this he thought women would only want him for his money.{{ref|2|3}}. When Tyrion found out the truth that Tysha was a girl chance met on the road who seemed to genuinely love Tyrion he felt it was the ultimate betrayal. <br />
<br />
He killed his father for this act more then anything else. <br />
<br />
===Shae===<br />
[[Shae]] was Tyrions whore who he began despite his better judgement to develop feelings towards her. He reminded himself on several occasions that the only thing Shae loved about him was his gold. It turns out his assessment was correct, Shae testified against him in his trial falsely (under Cersei direction) claiming Tyrion planned to kill the King, his father and his sister and seize the throne for himself. The fact that in the end Shae was found in his fathers bed added an extra nail in the coffin. Tyrion killed them both for that betrayal and when he discovered Shae in Tywins bed he finally knew in the end what his father really was, a hypocrite and that he Tyrion was indeed his fathers son. <br />

<hr />
<div>'''Queen's Men''' are members of [[Stannis Baratheon]]'s court that have converted to the faith of [[R'hllor]]. They stick closely to Queen [[Selyse Florent|Selyse]], who was the first to convert, and are so named after her. They are strong supporters of the red priestess [[Melisandre]]. Calling them the "Queen's" men alludes to the fact that Melisandre is much closer to Stannis than Selyse, and implies that Melisandre is more of a queen than Selyse. Those of Stannis's men that hold to their worship of the [[Faith of the Seven|Seven]] are alternately called [[King's Men]].<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 10|Chapter 10]], Davos</ref> They often have a fiery heart, the emblem of the Lord of Light, embroidered on their breasts signifying their allegiance.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 10|Chapter 10]], Davos</ref><br />

<br />
==History==<br />
Early in life, Tyrion found himself ostracised from regular family life, especially by his father and sister. When Tyrion was thirteen, he and [[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]] rescued a common girl, [[Tysha]], from some bandits. While Jaime went after the bandits Tyrion took care of Tysha. To his amazement Tysha liked him, and they eventually made love. Tyrion became so enamoured by her that he bribed a septon and married her in secret. Their happiness lasted only two weeks, however, before Tyrion's father got news of the wedding. Lord Tywin commanded Jaime to say that Tysha was a prostitute whom Jaime had hired for Tyrion's benefit. Because the whore had presumed to marry a Lannister, Tywin had Tysha repeatedly raped before Tyrion's eyes, and ultimately forced the boy to do the same.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 42|Chapter 42]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
==Recent Events==<br />
===''A Game of Thrones''===<br />
Tyrion joins the royal family on their fateful trip to [[Winterfell]]. After [[Bran Stark|Bran Stark's]] fall, Tyrion makes [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]] offer his sympathies to Bran's parents, though his nephew only obeys after Tyrion hits him. Tyrion is suspicious of the accident and notices his siblings exchanging a look when he tells them that Bran is expected to survive.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 9|Chapter 9]], Tyrion</ref> When the royal family leaves Winterfell, Tyrion rides north to the [[Wall]] with two guards, [[Jyck]] and [[Morrec]]; the [[Night's Watch]] ranger, [[Benjen Stark]]; and new recruit, [[Jon Snow]]. While at the Wall, Tyrion sees first-hand the poor state of the Night’s Watch.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 13|Chapter 13]], Tyrion</ref> The Watch is dwindling in numbers, ranging parties are going missing more often than usual, and [[wildlings]] are fleeing south like never before. He is implored by [[Lord Commander of the Night's Watch|Lord Commander]] [[Jeor Mormont]] to make King [[Robert Baratheon|Robert]] and his father, Lord [[Tywin Lannister|Tywin]] aware of the Watch’s needs. Also during his time at the Wall, Tyrion befriends and advises Jon Snow. Tyrion sees himself as an outcast on similar ground as the bastard-born Snow, and helps Jon cope with his identity and lot in life. Before Tyrion leaves the Wall, Jon asks him to help his brother, Bran, in the same way that he helped Jon. Tyrion promises to do so.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 21|Chapter 21]], Tyrion</ref> On his way back south, Tyrion stops at Winterfell. Despite initially receiving enmity from [[Robb Stark]] and an attack from the Stark [[direwolf|direwolves]] at his arrival, Tyrion gives Maester [[Luwin]] plans for a special saddle that will allow Bran to ride a horse, despite his disability, and is offered rooms at Winterfell. He declines, choosing to stay at an inn nearby.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 24|Chapter 24]], Bran</ref><br />
[[File:Tyrion arrested by Catelyn.png|thumb|300px|left|Tyrion arrested by [[Catelyn Tully|Catelyn]].]]<br />
Sometime later, Tyrion accidentally meets [[Catelyn Stark]] at a roadside inn called the [[Crossroads Inn|Crossroads]]. Unknown to Tyrion, Catelyn was told by [[Petyr Baelish]] that the dagger used in a failed assassination attempt on Bran belongs to Tyrion. As a result, Catelyn, with the help of some of her father's bannermen present at the inn, arrests Tyrion and takes him to the [[Eyrie]] for trial.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 28|Chapter 28]], Catelyn</ref><ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 31|Chapter 31]], Tyrion</ref> There [[Lysa Arryn]] puts him on trial for that crime, as well as the murder of her husband, [[Jon Arryn]], although he is innocent of both. To break him, Lysa locks him up in the sky cells, which have one wall of only sky. While confined in the sky cell, Tyrion wonders at the true perpetrators of his accused crimes. He thinks it possible that his siblings were responsible for both, but that Bran’s assassination attempt seems too clumsily done to be Jaime or Cersei’s work. Tyrion eventually manages to bribe his gaoler, [[Mord]], into telling Lysa that he is ready to confess. When Lysa summons the complete court of the [[Vale]] to hear his confession, he demands a trial by combat.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 38|Chapter 38]], Tyrion</ref><br />
[[File:Sky cells.png|thumb|300px|right|The Sky cells.]]<br />
Tyrion's champion, the sellsword, [[Bronn]], kills [[Vardis Egen]], Lysa's champion, and thus Tyrion is free to go.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 40|Chapter 40]], Catelyn</ref> He is sent from the Eyrie on the dangerous high road, where he recruits the [[mountain clans of the Vale]] into his service to prevent them from killing him and Bronn.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 42|Chapter 42]], Tyrion</ref> The group eventually reaches the Lannister army led by Lord Tywin. While camped with the Lannister host, Tyrion is given a number of new servants, including a new squire, [[Podrick Payne]]. Tyrion also takes a young prostitute named [[Shae]] into his service.<br />
Along with his new troops, he later fights in the van at the [[Battle of the Green Fork]] against Stark forces commanded by [[Roose Bolton]].<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 62|Chapter 62]], Tyrion</ref> The battle is a tactical victory for the [[House Lannister|Lannisters]], though it turns out to be a strategical loss. With the main Lannister force held up at the [[Trident#Green Fork|Green Fork]] by Bolton, the other Stark army is able to creep up on Jaime's unsuspecting army in what becomes the [[Battle of the Whispering Wood|Battle of the Whispering Wood]]. Jaime himself is captured. After the battles, Tywin makes Tyrion his temporary replacement as [[Hand of the King]], but forbids him from taking Shae along to [[King's Landing]]. Tyrion disobeys, and Shae accompanies him in secret.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 69|Chapter 69]], Tyrion</ref><br />

[[File:Shae.png|thumb|200px|left|[[Shae]]]]<br />
Tywin makes Tyrion his temporary replacement as [[Hand of the King]], but forbids him from indulging in his weakness for prostitutes. Tyrion disobeys, secretly taking the young prostitute [[Shae]] into his service.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 69|Chapter 69]], Tyrion</ref> As Hand, he enters a bitter power struggle with Cersei, but manages to consistently out-plot her. By marrying of his niece [[Myrcella Baratheon|Myrcella]] his able to keep the peace with the [[House Martell|Martells]] who else might have joined the enemies of the Lannisters. When [[Renly Baratheon]] is murdered Tyrion sees a chance to get the [[House Tyrell|Tyrells]] to take their site. He sends [[Petyr Baelish]] as diplomat to the Tyrells and offers them a marriage to his nephew, the king. But before an answer comes [[Stannis Baratheon]] brings his army to attack King's Landing. <br />
<br />

Upon the return of his father to King's Landing, Tyrion finds himself demoted to [[Master of Coin]] and forced into a political marriage with [[Sansa Stark]]. Though they are married for over a month, Tyrion never forces consummation on his unwilling bride, a decision that earns him scorn and jest in court, although Sansa is grateful for his mercy. Sansa flees in the aftermath of [[Joffrey Baratheon]]'s murder, for which Tyrion is unjustly accused. Cersei brings Tyrion's prostitute Shae to testify at his trial and humiliate him before the court. Tyrion again seeks trial by combat through a champion. This time [[Oberyn Martell]] of Dorne stands for him, but loses to [[Gregor Clegane]], although not without mortally wounding him first.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 70|Chapter 70]], Tyrion</ref> <br />
<br />
Condemned to death, Tyrion is freed from his prison cell by his brother Jaime and a reluctant [[Varys]]. During their escape, Jaime reveals that their father had made him lie about Tysha being a prostitute, and that she was just a peasant girl who had genuinely loved Tyrion. Tyrion sees this as an unforgivable betrayal and abandons Jaime, promising retribution. Before leaving the castle, Tyrion visits his father's room and finds Shae there, whom he kills. He then confronts his father, demanding he tell him what became of Tysha. Tywin tells Tyrion that she went "wherever whores go." Tyrion then slays his father and escapes.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 77|Chapter 77]], Tyrion</ref> He flees [[Across the Narrow Sea|across the Narrow Sea]] to an unknown destination chosen by Varys.

Tyrion arrives at the manse of [[Illyrio Mopatis]] in [[Pentos]]. There Illyrio tells Tyrion of [[Daenerys Targaryen]] and her three dragons. He then sends Tyrion, along with other retainers Griff, Young Griff, Ser [[Rolly Duckfield]], Septa [[Lemore]], and [[Haldon]], called Halfmaester, aboard the ship the ''[[Shy Maid]]'' to [[Volantis]]. During the trip he assumes the aliases Yollo and Hugor Hill. There they plan to meet up with Daenerys to strengthen her cause.

Tyrion and Penny are forced to perform in the [[fighting pits]] fighting a mock joust against one another, unknown to the pair was that lions were to be released at the end, but [[Daenerys Targaryen]] upon learning of this puts a stop to the release of lions as she knew the dwarfs could not defend themselves with wooden weapons.<br />

<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Tyrion is a misshapen dwarf with stunted legs, a jutting forehead, mismatched eyes of green and black, and lank, white-blonde hair.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 5|Chapter 5]], Jon</ref> When he grows a beard, it contains both blonde and black hair.

<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===Tywin Lannister===<br />
[[File:Tywin and Tyrion.png|thumb|left|550px|Tyrion in discussion with his father]]<br />
Tyrion has a difficult relation with [[Tywin Lannister|his father]]. [[Joanna Lannister|His mother]] died giving birth to Tyrion, something his father never forgave him.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 4|Chapter 4]], Tyrion</ref> When his father found out Tyrion had married Tysha he had her raped by his guardsmen and finally by Tyrion himself to teach them a lesson.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 42|Chapter 42]], Tyrion</ref> Her memory haunted him for long{{ref|2|29}} and he began to seek his pleasure with prostitutes.{{ref|2|8}} To his father this brought further shame on their house.{{ref|3|4}} Tyrion himself has thought about killing his father.{{ref|1|42}}<br />
<br />
When he was kidnapped by [[Catelyn Tully]], his father invaded [[the Riverlands]] not out of concern for Tyrion but to defend the honour of their house. Later he had Tyrion fight in the vanguard at the [[Battle of the Green Fork]] which made Tyrion suspect that his father would not have been unhappy to see him killed.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 62|Chapter 62]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
Though their relation is bad his father recognized his capacities enough to send him to King's Landing to act as his temporary replacement.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 69|Chapter 69]], Tyrion</ref> Tyrion did well, keeping the [[Dorne|Dornish]] neutral and building chain across the Blackwater river to trap [[Stannis Baratheon|Stannis]]' fleet something his father acknowledged. As a reward Tyrion asked to be named Tywin's heir, which he was under the laws as Jaime had joined the [[Kingsguard]] and thus was unable to inherit. His father flatly refused saying that he would never allow Tyrion to make [[Casterly Rock]] his whorehouse.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 4|Chapter 4]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
After [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]]'s death Cersei accused Tyrion of murdering him. Tywin formed a court to sit in judgement of his son. Tyrion demanded a trial by battle and when [[Oberyn Martell|his champion]] lost his father sentenced him to death though it is not clear if Tywin really thought Tyrion was guilty. Jaime freed Tyrion the night before his execution. He told him this was to make up for lying to Tyrion that Tysha had been a whore who was after riches while she had been what she claimed to be: a common girl and in love with Tyrion. Armed with this knowledge Tyrion visited his father and found him with Shae, Tyrion's formed mistress. Tyrion killed them both.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 77|Chapter 77]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
===Cersei Lannister===<br />
[[Cersei Lannister]] is Tyrion's older sister and always despised Tyrion. When [[Oberyn Martell]] and his sister [[Elia Martell]] visited Casterly Rock in there teens, they were shown the newborn baby Tyrion by both Jaime and Cersei. Cersei twisted Tyrions penis till he cried only stopping when Jaime intervened, Cersei when she read how Baelor the Blessed imprisoned his sisters for being beautiful went to Tyrion's nursery and pinched him till he cried. Cersei's cruelty to Tyrion only increased when she heard the prophecy of Maggy the Frog and the meaning of the word "Valonquar" (high valyrian for Little Brother). <br />
<br />
She never kept her hatred for Tyrion a secret and made him aware of it throughout his life, Tyrion returned his contempt for Cersei. Tyrion even dreamed of hiring a [[Faceless Men]] to kill his sister.{{ref|2|44}} The only thing that kept the two from harming each other was Jaime. Cersei once stated that she would have killed Tyrion but Jaime would never have forgiven her if she did{{ref|2|54}} and Tyrion would not have harmed Cersei because he loves his brother Jaime and knows how much Cersei means to him. <br />
<br />
The ironic thing is if Cersei had only ever treated Tyrion with even a little love and respect (a thing Tyrion craves for, especially from his family), Tyrion would return this with utter devotion and love to Cersei, the same he feels for his brother Jaime. Unknown to Tyrion is that every time Cersei see's Tyrion or thinks of him all she remember is the prophecy of Maggy the Frog. When Joffrey was murdered Cersei falsely believed Tyrion was responsible and did everything in her power to see him die, even getting his former whore [[Shae]] to lie and humiliate her "Valonquar" further before his death. <br />
<br />
When Tyrion escaped and killed Tywin, Cersei now sees him in every shadow. She offered a lordship to any man who killed Tyrion resulting in mass murder of innocent dwarfs and small children, Cersei will not punish any man who kills an innocent dwarf as she believes it might make the next man hesitate. <br />
<br />
Cersei upon hearing about Mrycella injury at the hands of [[Gerold Dayne]] beleives Dayne was Tyrions catspaw and Tyrion had him cut off Myrcella's ear the way an agent of Cersei ([[Mandon Moore]]) once cut off Tyrion's nose. With her Uncle Kevan now dead by the crossbow bolt (unknown to Cersei is the fact Kevan was killed by [[Varys]]), Cersei will most likely believe Tyrion killed Kevan the same way he killed father and will see even more of him in the shadows and in her nightmares.<br />
<br />
===Jaime Lannister===<br />
[[Jaime Lannister]] is Tyrion's older brother. Growing up Jaime was the only one who ever treated Tyrion with love and affection and for this Tyrion would as he thought forgive his brother for anything.{{ref|1|9}} Jaime was full of guilt over the lie father had him tell Tyrion about Tysha, Jaime was unaware of what his father planned and upon hearing about it lives with further guilt. The guilt had Jaime free his brother even when he was not sure of Tyrions innocence in the murder of his son Joffrey.<br />
<br />
Upon freeing his brother, Jaime finally confessed the truth about Tysha causing an enraged Tyrion to reveal to Jaime the truth about Cersei's infidelity towards Jaime and Tyrion also (falsely) told Jaime he did indeed kill his son Joffrey just to further hurt Jaime.<br />
<br />
Tyrion mentioned to [[Illyrio Mopatis]] that Jaime and Cersei are his to kill. Despite this statement Tyrion while having no doubt about his desire to kill and hurt Cersei still harbours mixed feelings towards Jaime.<br />
<br />
===His Uncles===<br />
From all reports, Tyrion got on well with all of his Uncles, [[Gerion Lannister|Gerion]], [[Tygett Lannister|Tygett]] and [[Kevan Lannister|Kevan]].<br />
Tyrion often recalls how Gerion had him when he was a lad recite all the sixteen wonders of the modern world. Gerion asked Tyrion once what gift he would like for his next nameday, Tyrion asked for a baby dragon and Gerion kindly told Tyrion that all the dragons were extinct and was careful not to hurt his nephews feelings. When [[Tyrek Lannister]] disappeared in the riots of Kingslanding, Tyrion instructed the watch that the lad was to be found alive or dead as his father (Tygett) was always kind to Tyrion.<br />
<br />
Until Tyrion was accused of killing Joffrey, Kevan Lannister was respectful to Tyrion and was one of the few after his injuries during the [[battle of the Blackwater]] to praise him and his abilities.<br />
<br />
===Tysha===<br />
[[Tysha]] is Tyrions first wife. For decades Tyrion believed she was a whore who his brother hired so Tyrion could experience his first woman. Because of this he thought women would only want him for his money.{{ref|2|3}}. When Tyrion found out the truth that Tysha was a girl chance met on the road who seemed to genuinely love Tyrion he felt it was the ultimate betrayal. <br />
<br />
He killed his father for this act more then anything else. <br />
<br />
===Shae===<br />
[[Shae]] was Tyrions whore who he began despite his better judgement to develop feelings towards her. He reminded himself on several occasions that the only thing Shae loved about him was his gold. It turns out his assessment was correct, Shae testified against him in his trial falsely (under Cersei direction) claiming Tyrion planned to kill the King, his father and his sister and seize the throne for himself. The fact that in the end Shae was found in his fathers bed added an extra nail in the coffin. Tyrion killed them both for that betrayal and when he discovered Shae in Tywins bed he finally knew in the end what his father really was, a hypocrite and that he Tyrion was indeed his fathers son. <br />

==History==<br />
Early in life, Tyrion found himself ostracised from regular family life, especially by his father and sister. When Tyrion was thirteen, he and [[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]] rescued a common girl, [[Tysha]], from some bandits. While Jaime went after the bandits Tyrion took care of Tysha. To his amazement Tysha liked him, and they eventually made love. Tyrion became so enamoured by her that he bribed a septon and married her in secret. Their happiness lasted only two weeks, however, before Tyrion's father got news of the wedding. Lord Tywin commanded Jaime to say that Tysha was a prostitute whom Jaime had hired for Tyrion's benefit. Because the whore had presumed to marry a Lannister, Tywin had Tysha repeatedly raped before Tyrion's eyes, and ultimately forced the boy to do the same.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 42|Chapter 42]], Tyrion</ref><br />

Cersei's cruelty to Tyrion only increased when she heard the prophecy of Maggy the Frog and the meaning of the word "Valonquar" (high valyrian for Little Brother). <br />
<br />
She never kept her hatred for Tyrion a secret and made him aware of it throughout his life, Tyrion returned his contempt for Cersei. Tyrion even dreamed of hiring a [[Faceless Men]] to kill his sister.{{ref|2|44}} The only thing that kept the two from harming each other was Jaime. Cersei once stated that she would have killed Tyrion but Jaime would never have forgiven her if she did{{ref|2|54}} and Tyrion would not have harmed Cersei because he loves his brother Jaime and knows how much Cersei means to him. <br />
<br />
The ironic thing is if Cersei had only ever treated Tyrion with even a little love and respect (a thing Tyrion craves for, especially from his family), Tyrion would return this with utter devotion and love to Cersei, the same he feels for his brother Jaime. Unknown to Tyrion is that every time Cersei see's Tyrion or thinks of him all she remember is the prophecy of Maggy the Frog. When Joffrey was murdered Cersei falsely believed Tyrion was responsible and did everything in her power to see him die, even getting his former whore [[Shae]] to lie and humiliate her "Valonquar" further before his death. <br />
<br />
When Tyrion escaped and killed Tywin, Cersei now sees him in every shadow. She offered a lordship to any man who killed Tyrion resulting in mass murder of innocent dwarfs and small children, Cersei will not punish any man who kills an innocent dwarf as she believes it might make the next man hesitate. <br />
<br />
Cersei upon hearing about Mrycella injury at the hands of [[Gerold Dayne]] beleives Dayne was Tyrions catspaw and Tyrion had him cut off Myrcella's ear the way an agent of Cersei ([[Mandon Moore]]) once cut off Tyrion's nose. With her Uncle Kevan now dead by the crossbow bolt (unknown to Cersei is the fact Kevan was killed by [[Varys]]), Cersei will most likely believe Tyrion killed Kevan the same way he killed father and will see even more of him in the shadows and in her nightmares.<br />
<br />
===Jaime Lannister===<br />
[[Jaime Lannister]] is Tyrion's older brother. Growing up Jaime was the only one who ever treated Tyrion with love and affection and for this Tyrion would as he thought forgive his brother for anything.{{ref|1|9}} Jaime was full of guilt over the lie father had him tell Tyrion about Tysha, Jaime was unaware of what his father planned and upon hearing about it lives with further guilt. The guilt had Jaime free his brother even when he was not sure of Tyrions innocence in the murder of his son Joffrey.<br />
<br />
Upon freeing his brother, Jaime finally confessed the truth about Tysha causing an enraged Tyrion to reveal to Jaime the truth about Cersei's infidelity towards Jaime and Tyrion also (falsely) told Jaime he did indeed kill his son Joffrey just to further hurt Jaime.<br />
<br />
Tyrion mentioned to [[Illyrio Mopatis]] that Jaime and Cersei are his to kill. Despite this statement Tyrion while having no doubt about his desire to kill and hurt Cersei still harbours mixed feelings towards Jaime.<br />
<br />
===His Uncles===<br />
From all reports, Tyrion got on well with all of his Uncles, [[Gerion Lannister|Gerion]], [[Tygett Lannister|Tygett]] and [[Kevan Lannister|Kevan]].<br />
Tyrion often recalls how Gerion had him when he was a lad recite all the sixteen wonders of the modern world. Gerion asked Tyrion once what gift he would like for his next nameday, Tyrion asked for a baby dragon and Gerion kindly told Tyrion that all the dragons were extinct and was careful not to hurt his nephews feelings. When [[Tyrek Lannister]] disappeared in the riots of Kingslanding, Tyrion instructed the watch that the lad was to be found alive or dead as his father (Tygett) was always kind to Tyrion.<br />
<br />
Until Tyrion was accused of killing Joffrey, Kevan Lannister was respectful to Tyrion and was one of the few after his injuries during the [[battle of the Blackwater]] to praise him and his abilities.<br />
<br />
===Tysha===<br />
[[Tysha]] is Tyrions first wife. For decades Tyrion believed she was a whore who his brother hired so Tyrion could experience his first woman. Because of this he thought women would only want him for his money.{{ref|2|3}}. When Tyrion found out the truth that Tysha was a girl chance met on the road who seemed to genuinely love Tyrion he felt it was the ultimate betrayal. <br />
<br />
He killed his father for this act more then anything else. <br />
<br />
===Shae===<br />
[[Shae]] was Tyrions whore who he began despite his better judgement to develop feelings towards her. He reminded himself on several occasions that the only thing Shae loved about him was his gold. It turns out his assessment was correct, Shae testified against him in his trial falsely (under Cersei direction) claiming Tyrion planned to kill the King, his father and his sister and seize the throne for himself. The fact that in the end Shae was found in his fathers bed added an extra nail in the coffin. Tyrion killed them both for that betrayal and when he discovered Shae in Tywins bed he finally knew in the end what his father really was, a hypocrite and that he Tyrion was indeed his fathers son. <br />

'''Jaime Lannister''', known as the '''Kingslayer''', is the second child and first-born son of Lord [[Tywin Lannister]] of [[Casterly Rock]] and his wife Lady [[Joanna Lannister|Joanna]]. Raised to the [[Kingsguard]] of the Mad King [[Aerys II Targaryen|Aerys Targaryen]] at the age of fifteen, Jaime was the youngest member of the order in history.<ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 16|Chapter 16]], Jaime</ref> He earned his nickname when he slew King Aerys at the end of [[Robert's Rebellion]].<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 5|Chapter 5]], page 45, Jon</ref><ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 37|Chapter 37]], Jaime</ref> <br />
<br />
For most of his life, Jaime has participated in an incestuous relationship with his twin sister, [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei]]. He has fathered three children by her: [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]], [[Myrcella Baratheon|Myrcella]], and [[Tommen Baratheon|Tommen]], though the realm believes their father to be Cersei's husband, [[Robert Baratheon|King Robert]].<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 45|Chapter 45]], Eddard</ref> <br />
<br />
In [[A Storm of Swords]] Jaime becomes a [[POV Character]].<br />
<br />
==History== <br />
===Early Years===<br />
Jaime and his older twin sister [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei]] were inseparable in their early childhood, going as far as to experiment together in a sexual manner at a young age. During one of these encounters, they were caught by a servant who informed their mother. Jaime's bedchamber was immediately moved to the other side of the castle, and both twins were told never to do anything like that ever again.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 21|Chapter 21]], page 194, Jaime</ref><ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 3|Chapter 3]], Cersei</ref><br />
<br />
At age nine, he lost his mother, who died birthing his younger brother [[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion]]. Even though Tyrion is a malformed dwarf, Jaime seems to show genuine love towards him as a brother.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 9|Chapter 9]], page 79, Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
At the age of eleven, Jaime was sent to [[Crakehall]] to become a squire for Ser [[Sumner Crakehall]]. Two years later, while still a squire, he won his first tourney melee.<br />
<br />
===Raised to Knighthood===<br />
At the age of fifteen, Jaime was knighted on the battlefield by Ser [[Arthur Dayne]] during the campaign against the [[Kingswood Brotherhood]].<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 11|Chapter 11]], Jaime</ref> He later stopped at [[King's Landing]] to visit his sister, from whom he had been separated for years. It was there that Cersei told him that Lord Tywin intended to marry him to [[Lysa Tully]], second daughter of Lord [[Hoster Tully]] of [[Riverrun]]. Cersei suggested that Jaime become a member of the [[Kingsguard]] instead, replacing the recently deceased Ser [[Harlan Grandison]], to be close to her and free himself of the unwanted marriage to Lysa. After a night of passionate sex he gave his consent to Cersei's plan.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 11|Chapter 11]], Jaime</ref><br />
{| align=left border=1 <br />

| [[File:Lannister twins.png|250px|Jaime and Cersei had a longtime secret affair]]<br />
|-<br />
|}<br />
A moon's turn later, Jaime was raised to the Kingsguard at a ceremony at [[Harrenhal]] by Ser [[Gerold Hightower]], making him the youngest ever to be raised to the order.<ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 16|Chapter 16]], Jaime</ref> That night, however, [[Aerys II Targaryen|King Aerys]] soured the honor by sending him back to King's Landing to guard [[Rhaella Targaryen|Queen Rhaella]] and [[Viserys Targaryen|Prince Viserys]], depriving him of the chance to participate in Lord Whent's tourney. Jaime realized then that the King had only chosen him for the Kingsguard as a slight against Lord Tywin, of whom Aerys was insanely jealous, to rob him of his heir.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 44|Chapter 44]], Jaime</ref> Furthermore, the plan failed to bring Jaime and Cersei closer together, as they had intended, when Lord Tywin, furious at the turn of events, resigned the Handship and returned with his family, including Cersei, back to Casterly Rock. Jaime remained at court, guarding the King.<br />
<br />
===Kingsguard===<br />
During Jaime's time in the Kingsguard, Aerys's growing insanity became more and more clear, and Jaime found himself conflicted and troubled by many of the King's actions. One night, he and [[Jonothor Darry|Jon Darry]] stood guard outside Queen Rhaella's bedchamber while Aerys raped and ravaged her. Jaime commented to Darry that they were sworn to protect the Queen as well, to which Darry replied "We are, but not from him."<ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 16|Chapter 16]], Jaime</ref> He had a similar reaction to the execution of [[Brandon Stark|Brandon]] and [[Rickard Stark]], and was reminded by Ser [[Gerold Hightower]] that he swore a vow to guard the king, not to judge him.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 55|Chapter 55]], Jaime</ref> Jaime coped with much of Aerys's cruelty by "going away inside", advice he would later pass on to his son, Tommen, as a way to deal with a harsh reality. <br />
<br />
As [[Robert's Rebellion]] grew, Aerys refused to let Jaime join the royal army, instead keeping him in King's Landing to be used as a potential hostage against Lord Tywin, who had yet to choose a side in the conflict.<br />
<br />
When it became apparent that the rebellion might be successful and that King's Landing might be lost, Aerys devised a plan with the help of his chief Pyromancers that involved placing caches of [[wildfire]] all throughout the city. The plan was to burn the entire city to the ground rather than lose it to Robert. His new Hand, [[Qarlton Chelsted]], who had been elevated to the position after the exile of both previous Hands Lord [[Owen Merryweather]]'s and [[Jon Connington]], confronted Aerys about his plan, eventually removing his chain of office in protest and flinging it to the floor. For that, Aerys burned him alive, and raised his favorite pyromancer [[Rossart]] to the Handship. All the while, Jaime guarded the King, learning the details of his plan and keeping his secrets.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 37|Chapter 37]], Jaime</ref> <br />
<br />
===The Kingslayer===<br />
It was the [[Battle of the Trident]] that roused Lord Tywin to act. He marched his armies to the gates of King's Landing, pleading for entry. Though [[Varys]] called Lord Tywin a traitor, King Aerys heeded the advice of Grand Maester [[Pycelle]] and opened his gates to Lord Tywin and his army. Once inside, Tywin betrayed Aerys and began the [[Sack of King's Landing]]. In response, Aerys commanded Jaime to bring him his father's head. Instead Jaime returned to the Iron Throne, slaying Rossart on the way, who he believed to be carrying orders to destroy the city. Jaime then slew Aerys, to prevent his message from reaching another pyromancer. <br />
<br />
Jaime took a seat on the Iron Throne itself, and moments later Lord Tywin's men, led by Ser [[Elys Westerling]] and Lord [[Roland Crakehall]], came into the hall and saw what Jaime had done. They asked him who would be proclaimed as King, but Jaime had no opinion. Jaime stayed on the throne, and was seated there when [[Eddard Stark]] rode into the hall with his men to claim the throne for [[Robert Baratheon]].<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 11|Chapter 11]], Jaime</ref><ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 12|Chapter 12]], Eddard</ref> <br />
<br />
In the following days, Jaime secretly hunted down and killed the two other pyromancers ([[Belis]] and [[Garigus]]) involved in Aerys' plan. Jaime was pardoned by King Robert I Baratheon and continued to serve in his Kingsguard. Robert also gave him the name ''Kingslayer''. <br />
<br />
Though reviled by the realm for his betrayal, Jaime considers the slaying of Aerys to be his finest act. His true motivation for killing King Aerys remains unknown to the masses. <br />
<br />
===Under King Robert===<br />

Though his sister Cersei was wed to Robert and made Queen, she and Jaime renewed their illicit relationship and continued it throughout Robert's reign. In the following years, Cersei would give birth to three children: [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]], [[Myrcella Baratheon|Myrcella]], and [[Tommen Baratheon|Tommen]]. Though believed by the realm to be Robert's children, Jaime is the father of all three, and all three resemble their real parents.<br />
<br />
==Recent Events==<br />
===''A Game of Thrones''===<br />
After the death of [[Jon Arryn]], King Robert travels north to visit Ned Stark at Winterfell and persuade him to become Jon's successor as Hand of the King. The king is accompanied by almost the whole court, among them Jaime and Cersei.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 4|Chapter 4]], Eddard</ref><br />
<br />
While at Winterfell, Jaime and Cersei are caught having sex by [[Bran Stark]]. Bran is shocked and almost falls from the tower. Jaime pulls him up and then throws him out of the window, intending to kill him to keep the affair a secret. Bran survives but falls into a coma.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 8|Chapter 8]], Bran</ref><br />

Instead Cersei's children; Joffrey, Myrcella, and Tommen are all fair-haired.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 45|Chapter 45]], Eddard</ref><br />
<br />

Robb surprises the Lannister army at the [[Battle of the Camps]].

While there he becomes Lord Commander of the Kingsguard after Ser [[Barristan Selmy]] is dismissed.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 57|Chapter 57]], Sansa</ref><br />
<br />
===''A Clash of Kings''===<br />
When Lord Tywin appoints Tyrion [[Hand of the King]], Tyrion promises to help free Jaime to gain Cersei's support.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 3|Chapter 3]], Tyrion</ref> Tyrion's plan to free Jaime is unsuccessful. For breaking his word not to try to escape the Tullys transfer him to a dungeon. He is kept chained and malnourished.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 39|Chapter 39]], Catelyn</ref> During this period Cersei takes their cousin [[Lancel Lannister|Lancel]] as her lover.<br />
<br />
While the War of the Five Kings rages around him, Jaime continues to be trapped in Riverrun. Negotiations for his release have led to nothing. Hand of the King Tyrion has sworn in open court to return the two girls for the return of Ser Jaime. Although Robb Stark has declined this exchange, and Eddard Stark has been executed, Catelyn longs for her daughters and together with [[Brienne of Tarth]] frees Jaime.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 45|Chapter 45]], Catelyn</ref><ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 1|Chapter 1]], Jaime</ref><br />
<br />
===''A Storm of Swords''===<br />
Brienne, Jaime, and his cousin [[Cleos Frey]] begin the journey towards King's Landing, evading recapture by Ser [[Robin Ryger]] and his party from Riverrun, through Brienne's ingenious tactic of dropping boulders and rocks onto the chasing ship.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 1|Chapter 1]], Jaime</ref> However, they cannot evade capture by the [[Brave Companions]] led by [[Vargo Hoat]], who have betrayed Lord Tywin and now serve the newly crowned King Robb Stark.<br />
<br />
Vargo Hoat suspects that his superior, [[Roose Bolton]], is thinking about going over to the Lannisters. To prevent this he orders [[Zollo|one of his men]] to chop Jaime's sword hand off, thinking that the blame will fall on Bolton.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 21|Chapter 21]], Jaime</ref><br />
<br />
For Jaime, the loss of his hand and with it his fighting ability destroys everything that he was. He falls into a deep depression and loses the will to live. Brienne who has been taken prisoner with Jaime, reminds him that he has something to live for, namely, for his family and for revenge. While they are held at [[Harrenhal]] they share a bath in the bathhouse. Jaime divulges to Brienne the events surrounding the Sack of Kings Landing, including Aerys's wildfire plot. Later, at dinner, Lord Bolton hints that he will free Jaime as long as Jaime absolves him of the blame for the loss of his hand. Jaime agrees, and Lord Bolton orders [[Walton|Steelshanks Walton]] to escort him to King's Landing. Brienne is to remain behind as Lord Vargo's prize.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 37|Chapter 37]], Jaime</ref><br />
<br />
Bolton leaves to join King Robb and Walton begin the journey to Kings Landing with Jaime and fallen maester, [[Qyburn]]. The latter's task is to keep Jaime healthy. When sleeping on a weirwood stump, Jaime has a dream about Brienne. Moved by this he goes back to Harrenhal and rescues Brienne from Vargo Hoat.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 44|Chapter 44]], Jaime</ref><br />
As the party arrives at the castle in King's Landing they run into Ser [[Loras Tyrell]]. Loras accuses Brienne of murdering Renly Baratheon. Again Jaime comes to her rescue and has Brienne arrested rather than allowing Loras to kill her. He then proceeds to the sept to see Cersei. Cersei is mourning for their son Joffrey, who has died, and whose corpse is being prepared for its funeral. Undaunted by this Cersei and Jaime have sex in front of Joffrey's corpse.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 62|Chapter 62]], Jaime</ref><br />
<br />
This turns out to be the last time that he and Cersei share intimate relations as their relationship begins to fall apart. Jaime is changed by his experiences. He quarrels with his father and refuses to resign from the Kingsguard. He passes the Valyrian sword [[Oathkeeper]], given to him by Tywin, on to Brienne and orders her to keep Sansa Stark safe from Cersei and all those that would turn her in for the reward posted by Cersei.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 72|Chapter 72]], Jaime</ref><br />
<br />
Following Joffrey's death, Cersei accuses Tyrion of his murder. When both trial by words and by battle fail Tyrion, Jaime still does not believe that Tyrion is the murderer. He forces Lord Varys to arrange Tyrions escape. During the escape Jaime confesses to his brother an old sin: <br />
<br />
Years ago Jaime had told him that Tysha, the woman Tyrion had secretly married was in fact a whore hired by Jaime. Their father had the woman raped by his soldiers and by Tyrion himself to teach them a lesson. But in fact Tysha was the crofter's daughter as she claimed to be and had loved Tyrion genuinely. <br />
<br />
Incensed at this revelation, Tyrion hits Jaime, and, knowing that Joffrey was Jaime's son and not Robert's, falsely claims responsibility for his murder. As a final revenge he reveals that the truth about Cersei's sexual escapades with Lancel and [[Osmund Kettleblack]].<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 77|Chapter 77]], Tyrion</ref> Tyrion then leaves Jaime and, unknown to Jaime, visits Tywin and kills him.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 77|Chapter 77]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
===''A Feast for Crows''===<br />
Following the murder of his father by his brother Tyrion, Jaime remains in King's Landing and stands vigil over Tywin. During the night, Cersei comes to him and pleads for him to become the King's Hand. He refuses and Cersei leaves angrily, stating she was a fool for ever having loved him.<ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 3|Chapter 3]], Jaime</ref> Following the funeral, Jaime, on Cersei's command, leaves King's Landing with the intention of lifting the siege on Riverrun. <br />
<br />
During the journey, Jaime spars with Ser [[Ilyn Payne]] during the nights, in order to train himself to fight left-handed. Along the way he stops at Harrenhal, where he installs Ser [[Bonifer Hasty]] as castellan and releases the few prisoners kept there, including [[Wylis Manderly]]. He also stops at [[Darry]] where his cousin, Lancel, confesses to having slept with Cersei.<ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 29|Chapter 29]], Jaime</ref><br />
<br />
Soon after, Jaime arrives at Riverrun. He holds a parlay with [[Brynden Tully]], who is holding the castle, but is unsuccessful in convincing him to release the castle. He then speaks with Brynden's nephew [[Edmure Tully]], the current Lord of Riverrun, who is held prisoner by the besieging forces. Jaime tells Edmure that he is to be released and returned to Riverrun. If he yields the castle, the garrison will be spared and all that wish to join the [[Night's Watch]] will be allowed to do so. If he does not surrender, the castle will be sacked and burned, and Jaime will kill Edmure's child as soon as his wife gives birth.<ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 37|Chapter 37]], Jaime</ref> Edmure decides to yield the castle and is taken to [[Casterly Rock]] as a prisoner, but not before allowing Brynden to escape by swimming under the Water Gate at night. Jaime is furious at this and sends some of his men to find him, but they are unsuccessful.<ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 43|Chapter 43]], Jaime</ref><br />
<br />
Soon after, Jaime receives a letter from Cersei asking for help. Cersei has been imprisoned by the High Septon and is to go on trial. Cersei requests Jaime as her champion in a potential trial-by-combat. Jaime does not reply to the letter and orders it to be burned.<ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 43|Chapter 43]], Jaime</ref><br />
<br />
===''A Dance with Dragons''===<br />
Jaime arrives at [[Raventree Hall]], the last holdout of [[Robb Stark]]'s supporters. The Hall is under siege by Lord [[Jonos Bracken]]. Jaime finds the state of the siege to be dismal, however, and hopes to swiftly end it. His arrival is unexpected, and he strides into Bracken's tent while he is with a whore named [[Hildy]]. Bracken fills Jaime in on the situation at hand, and Jaime finds the scene rooted in an age-old feud between [[House Bracken|Bracken]] and [[House Blackwood|Blackwood]].<br />
<br />
He then treats with [[Tytos Blackwood]]. Lord Tytos agrees to bend the knee to King [[Tommen Baratheon|Tommen]] and rescind his support of the [[House Stark|Stark]] and [[House Tully|Tully]] cause. In return, Blackwood must give up some of his lands to Jonos Bracken and send his son [[Hoster Blackwood|Hoster]] to [[King's Landing]] as a hostage. Because of [[House Bracken]]'s original support of Robb Stark, however, Jaime also requires Jonos Bracken to send one of his daughters to King's Landing as a hostage. <br />
<br />
After settling matters at Raventree, Jaime and his men head back to [[Riverrun]]. They make camp at [[Pennytree]], where the local people are still wary of travelers and "king's men," and will not allow Jaime's men to enter the holdfast. While at Pennytree, Jaime receives an unexpected visit from [[Brienne of Tarth]]. She tells Jaime that she has found [[Sansa Stark|Sansa]], who is a day's ride away. She claims, however, that Jaime must go with her alone or else the [[Sandor Clegane|Hound]] will kill the girl.<ref>[[A Dance with Dragons]], [[Jaime I (A Dance with Dragons)|Jaime I]]</ref><br />

'''Jaime Lannister''', known as the '''Kingslayer''', is the second child and first-born son of Lord [[Tywin Lannister]] of [[Casterly Rock]] and his wife Lady [[Joanna Lannister|Joanna]]. Raised to the [[Kingsguard]] of the Mad King [[Aerys II Targaryen|Aerys Targaryen]] at the age of fifteen, Jaime was the youngest member of the order in history.<ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 16|Chapter 16]], Jaime</ref> He earned his nickname when he slew King Aerys at the end of [[Robert's Rebellion]].<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 5|Chapter 5]], page 45, Jon</ref><ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 37|Chapter 37]], Jaime</ref> <br />
<br />
For most of his life, Jaime has participated in an incestuous relationship with his twin sister, [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei]]. He has fathered three children by her: [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]], [[Myrcella Baratheon|Myrcella]], and [[Tommen Baratheon|Tommen]], though the realm believes their father to be Cersei's husband, [[Robert Baratheon|King Robert]].<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 45|Chapter 45]], Eddard</ref> <br />
<br />
In [[A Storm of Swords]] Jaime becomes a [[POV Character]].<br />
<br />
==History== <br />
===Early Years===<br />
Jaime and his older twin sister [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei]] were inseparable in their early childhood, going as far as to experiment together in a sexual manner at a young age. During one of these encounters, they were caught by a servant who informed their mother. Jaime's bedchamber was immediately moved to the other side of the castle, and both twins were told never to do anything like that ever again.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 21|Chapter 21]], page 194, Jaime</ref><ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 3|Chapter 3]], Cersei</ref><br />
<br />
At age nine, he lost his mother, who died birthing his younger brother [[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion]]. Even though Tyrion is a malformed dwarf, Jaime seems to show genuine love towards him as a brother.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 9|Chapter 9]], page 79, Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
At the age of eleven, Jaime was sent to [[Crakehall]] to become a squire for Ser [[Sumner Crakehall]]. Two years later, while still a squire, he won his first tourney melee.<br />
<br />
===Raised to Knighthood===<br />
At the age of fifteen, Jaime was knighted on the battlefield by Ser [[Arthur Dayne]] during the campaign against the [[Kingswood Brotherhood]].<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 11|Chapter 11]], Jaime</ref> He later stopped at [[King's Landing]] to visit his sister, from whom he had been separated for years. It was there that Cersei told him that Lord Tywin intended to marry him to [[Lysa Tully]], second daughter of Lord [[Hoster Tully]] of [[Riverrun]]. Cersei suggested that Jaime become a member of the [[Kingsguard]] instead, replacing the recently deceased Ser [[Harlan Grandison]], to be close to her and free himself of the unwanted marriage to Lysa. After a night of passionate sex he gave his consent to Cersei's plan.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 11|Chapter 11]], Jaime</ref><br />
{| align=left border=1 <br />
|-<br />

|-<br />
|}<br />
A moon's turn later, Jaime was raised to the Kingsguard at a ceremony at [[Harrenhal]] by Ser [[Gerold Hightower]], making him the youngest ever to be raised to the order.<ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 16|Chapter 16]], Jaime</ref> That night, however, [[Aerys II Targaryen|King Aerys]] soured the honor by sending him back to King's Landing to guard [[Rhaella Targaryen|Queen Rhaella]] and [[Viserys Targaryen|Prince Viserys]], depriving him of the chance to participate in Lord Whent's tourney. Jaime realized then that the King had only chosen him for the Kingsguard as a slight against Lord Tywin, of whom Aerys was insanely jealous, to rob him of his heir.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 44|Chapter 44]], Jaime</ref> Furthermore, the plan failed to bring Jaime and Cersei closer together, as they had intended, when Lord Tywin, furious at the turn of events, resigned the Handship and returned with his family, including Cersei, back to Casterly Rock. Jaime remained at court, guarding the King.<br />
<br />
===Kingsguard===<br />
During Jaime's time in the Kingsguard, Aerys's growing insanity became more and more clear, and Jaime found himself conflicted and troubled by many of the King's actions. One night, he and [[Jonothor Darry|Jon Darry]] stood guard outside Queen Rhaella's bedchamber while Aerys raped and ravaged her. Jaime commented to Darry that they were sworn to protect the Queen as well, to which Darry replied "We are, but not from him."<ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 16|Chapter 16]], Jaime</ref> He had a similar reaction to the execution of [[Brandon Stark|Brandon]] and [[Rickard Stark]], and was reminded by Ser [[Gerold Hightower]] that he swore a vow to guard the king, not to judge him.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 55|Chapter 55]], Jaime</ref> Jaime coped with much of Aerys's cruelty by "going away inside", advice he would later pass on to his son, Tommen, as a way to deal with a harsh reality. <br />
<br />
As [[Robert's Rebellion]] grew, Aerys refused to let Jaime join the royal army, instead keeping him in King's Landing to be used as a potential hostage against Lord Tywin, who had yet to choose a side in the conflict.<br />
<br />
When it became apparent that the rebellion might be successful and that King's Landing might be lost, Aerys devised a plan with the help of his chief Pyromancers that involved placing caches of [[wildfire]] all throughout the city. The plan was to burn the entire city to the ground rather than lose it to Robert. His new Hand, [[Qarlton Chelsted]], who had been elevated to the position after the exile of both previous Hands Lord [[Owen Merryweather]]'s and [[Jon Connington]], confronted Aerys about his plan, eventually removing his chain of office in protest and flinging it to the floor. For that, Aerys burned him alive, and raised his favorite pyromancer [[Rossart]] to the Handship. All the while, Jaime guarded the King, learning the details of his plan and keeping his secrets.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 37|Chapter 37]], Jaime</ref> <br />
<br />
===The Kingslayer===<br />
It was the [[Battle of the Trident]] that roused Lord Tywin to act. He marched his armies to the gates of King's Landing, pleading for entry. Though [[Varys]] called Lord Tywin a traitor, King Aerys heeded the advice of Grand Maester [[Pycelle]] and opened his gates to Lord Tywin and his army. Once inside, Tywin betrayed Aerys and began the [[Sack of King's Landing]]. In response, Aerys commanded Jaime to bring him his father's head. Instead Jaime returned to the Iron Throne, slaying Rossart on the way, who he believed to be carrying orders to destroy the city. Jaime then slew Aerys, to prevent his message from reaching another pyromancer. <br />
<br />
Jaime took a seat on the Iron Throne itself, and moments later Lord Tywin's men, led by Ser [[Elys Westerling]] and Lord [[Roland Crakehall]], came into the hall and saw what Jaime had done. They asked him who would be proclaimed as King, but Jaime had no opinion. Jaime stayed on the throne, and was seated there when [[Eddard Stark]] rode into the hall with his men to claim the throne for [[Robert Baratheon]].<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 11|Chapter 11]], Jaime</ref><ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 12|Chapter 12]], Eddard</ref> <br />
<br />
In the following days, Jaime secretly hunted down and killed the two other pyromancers ([[Belis]] and [[Garigus]]) involved in Aerys' plan. Jaime was pardoned by King Robert I Baratheon and continued to serve in his Kingsguard. Robert also gave him the name ''Kingslayer''. <br />
<br />
Though reviled by the realm for his betrayal, Jaime considers the slaying of Aerys to be his finest act. His true motivation for killing King Aerys remains unknown to the masses. <br />
<br />
===Under King Robert===<br />

Though his sister Cersei was wed to Robert and made Queen, she and Jaime renewed their illicit relationship and continued it throughout Robert's reign. In the following years, Cersei would give birth to three children: [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]], [[Myrcella Baratheon|Myrcella]], and [[Tommen Baratheon|Tommen]]. Though believed by the realm to be Robert's children, Jaime is the father of all three, and all three resemble their real parents.<br />
<br />
==Recent Events==<br />
===''A Game of Thrones''===<br />
After the death of [[Jon Arryn]], King Robert travels north to visit Ned Stark at Winterfell and persuade him to become Jon's successor as Hand of the King. The king is accompanied by almost the whole court, among them Jaime and Cersei.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 4|Chapter 4]], Eddard</ref><br />
<br />
While at Winterfell, Jaime and Cersei are caught having sex by [[Bran Stark]]. Bran is shocked and almost falls from the tower. Jaime pulls him up and then throws him out of the window, intending to kill him to keep the affair a secret. Bran survives but falls into a coma.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 8|Chapter 8]], Bran</ref><br />
<br />
Ned Stark accepts King Robert's invitation to be Hand, and begins investigating the death of Jon Arryn.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 6|Chapter 6]], Catelyn</ref><ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 25|Chapter 25]], Eddard</ref> In this investigation he discovers Jaime and Cersei's secret relationship by piecing together the fact that every time in history a Lannister wedded a Baratheon, they produced raven haired children. Instead Cersei's children; Joffrey, Myrcella, and Tommen are all fair-haired.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 45|Chapter 45]], Eddard</ref><br />
<br />
Meanwhile, [[Catelyn Stark]], Lady of [[Winterfell]], captures Jaime's brother Tyrion on suspicion of involvement in a botched assassination attempt on Bran Stark.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 28|Chapter 28]], Catelyn</ref> Jaime and Lannister men attack Ned and his Northmen in the streets of King's Landing, leading to numerous deaths on both sides.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 35|Chapter 35]], Eddard</ref> Jaime then flees from King's Landing and joins his father.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 39|Chapter 39]], Eddard</ref><br />
<br />
Jaime leads an army of Westermen against the River Lords, smashing [[Edmure Tully]]'s host at the Golden Tooth, and eventually besieging Riverrun.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 55|Chapter 55]], Catelyn</ref> However [[Robb Stark]] leads a Northern army to the Riverlands to relieve Riverrun. Robb surprises the Lannister army at the [[Battle of the Camps]]. Although Jaime fights bravely and manages to kill the sons of Lord [[House Karstark|Rickard Karstark]] he is captured.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 63|Chapter 63]], Catelyn</ref> Afterwards, Jaime is imprisoned in Riverrun. While there he becomes Lord Commander of the Kingsguard after Ser [[Barristan Selmy]] is dismissed.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 57|Chapter 57]], Sansa</ref><br />
<br />
===''A Clash of Kings''===<br />
When Lord Tywin appoints Tyrion [[Hand of the King]], Tyrion promises to help free Jaime to gain Cersei's support.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 3|Chapter 3]], Tyrion</ref> Tyrion's plan to free Jaime is unsuccessful. For breaking his word not to try to escape the Tullys transfer him to a dungeon. He is kept chained and malnourished.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 39|Chapter 39]], Catelyn</ref> During this period Cersei takes their cousin [[Lancel Lannister|Lancel]] as her lover.<br />
<br />
While the War of the Five Kings rages around him, Jaime continues to be trapped in Riverrun. Negotiations for his release have led to nothing. Hand of the King Tyrion has sworn in open court to return the two girls for the return of Ser Jaime. Although Robb Stark has declined this exchange, and Eddard Stark has been executed, Catelyn longs for her daughters and together with [[Brienne of Tarth]] frees Jaime.<ref>[[A Clash of Kings]], [[A Clash of Kings-Chapter 45|Chapter 45]], Catelyn</ref><ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 1|Chapter 1]], Jaime</ref><br />
<br />
===''A Storm of Swords''===<br />
Brienne, Jaime, and his cousin [[Cleos Frey]] begin the journey towards King's Landing, evading recapture by Ser [[Robin Ryger]] and his party from Riverrun, through Brienne's ingenious tactic of dropping boulders and rocks onto the chasing ship.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 1|Chapter 1]], Jaime</ref> However, they cannot evade capture by the [[Brave Companions]] led by [[Vargo Hoat]], who have betrayed Lord Tywin and now serve the newly crowned King Robb Stark.<br />
<br />
Vargo Hoat suspects that his superior, [[Roose Bolton]], is thinking about going over to the Lannisters. To prevent this he orders [[Zollo|one of his men]] to chop Jaime's sword hand off, thinking that the blame will fall on Bolton.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 21|Chapter 21]], Jaime</ref><br />
<br />
For Jaime, the loss of his hand and with it his fighting ability destroys everything that he was. He falls into a deep depression and loses the will to live. Brienne who has been taken prisoner with Jaime, reminds him that he has something to live for, namely, for his family and for revenge. While they are held at [[Harrenhal]] they share a bath in the bathhouse. Jaime divulges to Brienne the events surrounding the Sack of Kings Landing, including Aerys's wildfire plot. Later, at dinner, Lord Bolton hints that he will free Jaime as long as Jaime absolves him of the blame for the loss of his hand. Jaime agrees, and Lord Bolton orders [[Walton|Steelshanks Walton]] to escort him to King's Landing. Brienne is to remain behind as Lord Vargo's prize.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 37|Chapter 37]], Jaime</ref><br />
<br />
Bolton leaves to join King Robb and Walton begin the journey to Kings Landing with Jaime and fallen maester, [[Qyburn]]. The latter's task is to keep Jaime healthy. When sleeping on a weirwood stump, Jaime has a dream about Brienne. Moved by this he goes back to Harrenhal and rescues Brienne from Vargo Hoat.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 44|Chapter 44]], Jaime</ref><br />
As the party arrives at the castle in King's Landing they run into Ser [[Loras Tyrell]]. Loras accuses Brienne of murdering Renly Baratheon. Again Jaime comes to her rescue and has Brienne arrested rather than allowing Loras to kill her. He then proceeds to the sept to see Cersei. Cersei is mourning for their son Joffrey, who has died, and whose corpse is being prepared for its funeral. Undaunted by this Cersei and Jaime have sex in front of Joffrey's corpse.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 62|Chapter 62]], Jaime</ref><br />
<br />
This turns out to be the last time that he and Cersei share intimate relations as their relationship begins to fall apart. Jaime is changed by his experiences. He quarrels with his father and refuses to resign from the Kingsguard. He passes the Valyrian sword [[Oathkeeper]], given to him by Tywin, on to Brienne and orders her to keep Sansa Stark safe from Cersei and all those that would turn her in for the reward posted by Cersei.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 72|Chapter 72]], Jaime</ref><br />
<br />
Following Joffrey's death, Cersei accuses Tyrion of his murder. When both trial by words and by battle fail Tyrion, Jaime still does not believe that Tyrion is the murderer. He forces Lord Varys to arrange Tyrions escape. During the escape Jaime confesses to his brother an old sin: <br />
<br />
Years ago Jaime had told him that Tysha, the woman Tyrion had secretly married was in fact a whore hired by Jaime. Their father had the woman raped by his soldiers and by Tyrion himself to teach them a lesson. But in fact Tysha was the crofter's daughter as she claimed to be and had loved Tyrion genuinely. <br />
<br />
Incensed at this revelation, Tyrion hits Jaime, and, knowing that Joffrey was Jaime's son and not Robert's, falsely claims responsibility for his murder. As a final revenge he reveals that the truth about Cersei's sexual escapades with Lancel and [[Osmund Kettleblack]].<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 77|Chapter 77]], Tyrion</ref> Tyrion then leaves Jaime and, unknown to Jaime, visits Tywin and kills him.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 77|Chapter 77]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
===''A Feast for Crows''===<br />
Following the murder of his father by his brother Tyrion, Jaime remains in King's Landing and stands vigil over Tywin. During the night, Cersei comes to him and pleads for him to become the King's Hand. He refuses and Cersei leaves angrily, stating she was a fool for ever having loved him.<ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 3|Chapter 3]], Jaime</ref> Following the funeral, Jaime, on Cersei's command, leaves King's Landing with the intention of lifting the siege on Riverrun. <br />
<br />
During the journey, Jaime spars with Ser [[Ilyn Payne]] during the nights, in order to train himself to fight left-handed. Along the way he stops at Harrenhal, where he installs Ser [[Bonifer Hasty]] as castellan and releases the few prisoners kept there, including [[Wylis Manderly]]. He also stops at [[Darry]] where his cousin, Lancel, confesses to having slept with Cersei.<ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 29|Chapter 29]], Jaime</ref><br />
<br />
Soon after, Jaime arrives at Riverrun. He holds a parlay with [[Brynden Tully]], who is holding the castle, but is unsuccessful in convincing him to release the castle. He then speaks with Brynden's nephew [[Edmure Tully]], the current Lord of Riverrun, who is held prisoner by the besieging forces. Jaime tells Edmure that he is to be released and returned to Riverrun. If he yields the castle, the garrison will be spared and all that wish to join the [[Night's Watch]] will be allowed to do so. If he does not surrender, the castle will be sacked and burned, and Jaime will kill Edmure's child as soon as his wife gives birth.<ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 37|Chapter 37]], Jaime</ref> Edmure decides to yield the castle and is taken to [[Casterly Rock]] as a prisoner, but not before allowing Brynden to escape by swimming under the Water Gate at night. Jaime is furious at this and sends some of his men to find him, but they are unsuccessful.<ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 43|Chapter 43]], Jaime</ref><br />
<br />
Soon after, Jaime receives a letter from Cersei asking for help. Cersei has been imprisoned by the High Septon and is to go on trial. Cersei requests Jaime as her champion in a potential trial-by-combat. Jaime does not reply to the letter and orders it to be burned.<ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 43|Chapter 43]], Jaime</ref><br />
<br />
===''A Dance with Dragons''===<br />
Jaime arrives at [[Raventree Hall]], the last holdout of [[Robb Stark]]'s supporters. The Hall is under siege by Lord [[Jonos Bracken]]. Jaime finds the state of the siege to be dismal, however, and hopes to swiftly end it. His arrival is unexpected, and he strides into Bracken's tent while he is with a whore named [[Hildy]]. Bracken fills Jaime in on the situation at hand, and Jaime finds the scene rooted in an age-old feud between [[House Bracken|Bracken]] and [[House Blackwood|Blackwood]].<br />
<br />
He then treats with [[Tytos Blackwood]]. Lord Tytos agrees to bend the knee to King [[Tommen Baratheon|Tommen]] and rescind his support of the [[House Stark|Stark]] and [[House Tully|Tully]] cause. In return, Blackwood must give up some of his lands to Jonos Bracken and send his son [[Hoster Blackwood|Hoster]] to [[King's Landing]] as a hostage. Because of [[House Bracken]]'s original support of Robb Stark, however, Jaime also requires Jonos Bracken to send one of his daughters to King's Landing as a hostage. <br />
<br />
After settling matters at Raventree, Jaime and his men head back to [[Riverrun]]. They make camp at [[Pennytree]], where the local people are still wary of travelers and "king's men," and will not allow Jaime's men to enter the holdfast. While at Pennytree, Jaime receives an unexpected visit from [[Brienne of Tarth]]. She tells Jaime that she has found [[Sansa Stark|Sansa]], who is a day's ride away. She claims, however, that Jaime must go with her alone or else the [[Sandor Clegane|Hound]] will kill the girl.<ref>[[A Dance with Dragons]], [[Jaime I (A Dance with Dragons)|Jaime I]]</ref><br />

Robb was born in [[Riverrun]], presumably the product of [[Eddard Stark|Eddard]] and [[Catelyn Tully|Catelyn]]'s wedding night, for Eddard raced off to war immediately following the nuptials to fight in [[Robert's Rebellion]].<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 63|Chapter 63]], Catelyn</ref> Upon his return from the war, Catelyn greeted Ned with an infant Robb, and all returned to [[Winterfell]], where Ned would rule as Lord and Robb was to be raised as his heir. <br />
<br />
Growing up in Winterfell, Robb was on good terms with his younger siblings, and developed a friendly rivalry with his bastard half-brother, [[Jon Snow]], with whom he was a marked contrast in appearance and personality.<br />
<br />
==Recent Events==<br />
===''A Game of Thrones''===<br />
Robb attends the execution of [[Gared]] and is present when [[Jon Snow]] discovers a of litter of six [[direwolf]] pups in the snow. He claims one of the direwolves for his own and names him [[Grey Wind]].<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 1|Chapter 1]], Bran</ref> <br />
<br />
Shortly after the arrival of the king's court at [[Winterfell]], Robb spars with [[Joffrey Baratheon]] using wooden swords. Bad blood develops between the two when Joffrey challenges Robb to spar with live steel. Ser [[Rodrik Cassel]], Winterfell's master-at-arms, does not allow it, to the mockery and chagrin of many of the present [[House Lannister|Lannisters]] and their retainers.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 6|Chapter 6]], Catelyn</ref> When [[Eddard Stark|Eddard]] is named [[Hand of the King]] and journeys south to [[King's Landing]], Robb remains in Winterfell to rule in his father's stead. <br />
<br />
After King [[Robert Baratheon|Robert]]'s death, and in response to his father's arrest for treason, Robb calls the banners of the [[North]] and marches south to the [[Riverlands]], in part to support his mother's household, [[House Tully]], in response to the invasion of [[House Lannister|Lannisters]] from the [[Westerlands|West]], and with the ultimate goal of freeing Eddard Stark. Upon learning that [[Riverrun]] has been besieged by a host led by [[Jaime Lannister]], whilst another force led by [[Tywin Lannister]] approaches from the south, Robb splits his forces, sending the majority of his footmen under the command of [[Roose Bolton]] to engage Tywin's army, while crossing the [[Trident#Green Fork|Green Fork]] at the [[Twins]] with the majority of his horse. His goal is to ride to and lift the siege of Riverrun. For allowing him crossing at the Twins, [[Lord Walder Frey]] extracts the price of a marriage contract, ensuring that Robb will marry a daughter of his house to be chosen after the war is finished. <br />
<br />
Robb leads his horsemen to Riverrun, where, aided by the counsel of his great-uncle, [[Brynden Tully]], he achieves complete surprise in ambushing Jaime Lannister's army in the [[Battle of the Whispering Wood|Whispering Wood]], annihilating Jaime's forces and taking Jaime captive. Shortly thereafter Robb is able to lift the siege of Riverrun, forcing Tywin's army, which had scored a victory against Roose Bolton's footmen on the eastern shores of the Green Fork, to retreat back to [[Harrenhal]]. <br />
<br />
Upon his Lord Father's execution at the command of King [[Joffrey Baratheon]], effectively ending the possibility of peace between Stark and Lannister, Robb is crowned by his bannermen as the [[King in the North]].<br />
<br />
===''A Clash of Kings''===<br />
Remaining idle for a time at Riverrun, Robb sends [[Theon Greyjoy]], who fought with him in the [[Battle of the Whispering Wood|Whispering Wood]], to [[Pyke]] with the goal of securing an alliance with his father [[Balon Greyjoy|Balon]] against the [[House Lannister|Lannisters]]. He also sends his mother south to treat with the late King [[Robert Baratheon|Robert]]'s younger brothers [[Stannis Baratheon|Stannis]] and [[Renly Baratheon|Renly]], both of whom have crowned themselves king. Both envoys fail in their missions; Catelyn is unable to secure any meaningful treaty with either of the [[House Baratheon|Baratheon]] brothers (witnessing Renly's assassination in the process), while Theon is rebuffed outright by Balon, who responds to the offer for peace with a large-scale invasion of the [[North]]. <br />
<br />
Robb, in the meantime, gathers his force and launches an invasion into the [[Westerlands]], smashing a newly-forming Lannister host at [[Oxcross]] and winning battles at [[Ashemark]] and [[The Crag]]. At the Crag, Robb suffers a wound and is tended by [[Jeyne Westerling]]. There he learns that a small force led by his one-time friend, Theon Greyjoy, has taken Winterfell and murdered his younger brothers [[Bran Stark|Bran]] and [[Rickon Stark|Rickon]] (though they were alive, in truth). Jeyne comforts him upon his hearing this news, which leads to his taking her maidenhood. In an effort to preserve her honor, Robb weds her immediately thereafter. <br />
<br />
===''A Storm of Swords''===<br />
Robb returns to [[Riverrun]] with his new wife in tow, much to his mother's horror as, having pledged to wed a daughter of [[House Frey]], this was not a slight that [[Lord Walder Frey|Walder Frey]] is likely to overlook. Other problems await him in Riverrun: [[Edmure Tully]], his mother's eldest brother and acting Lord of the [[Riverlands]] whilst his father [[Hoster Tully]] lays on his deathbed, met [[Tywin Lannister]]'s army as they attempted to cross the [[Trident#Red Fork|Red Fork]] at a ford near Riverrun and threw them back. While this prevented Tywin's force from approaching Robb's from the rear, Robb's plan had been to entangle the army in a chase while [[Stannis Baratheon]] marched on [[King's Landing]]. Being thrown back at Riverrun allowed Tywin's force to turn around and arrive at [[King's Landing]] in time for the [[Battle of the Blackwater]], which turned the tide of the battle in the [[House Lannister|Lannister]]'s favor. <br />
<br />
Additionally, Robb learns that in her grief over the supposed murder of two of her sons, Catelyn released [[Jaime Lannister]] from captivity and entrusted him with a mission to return her daughters [[Sansa Stark|Sansa]] and [[Arya Stark|Arya]] to her, if possible. This earns her the enmity of Lord [[Rickard Karstark]], as Jaime had slain two of Karstark's sons in the [[Battle of the Whispering Wood|Whispering Wood]]; Karstark required vengeance for their deaths. In response to his release, Karstark sends men to the cells of Riverrun and murders [[Tion Frey]] and [[Willem Lannister]], two prisoners. For this crime, Robb sentences him to death and beheads Lord Rickard himself. Immediately after, the Karstark forces desert Robb's army. <br />
<br />
After the death of Hoster Tully, Robb intends to return to the [[North]], reclaim his territory, which has been conquered by the [[ironmen]], and avenge the deaths of his brothers. Because he believes his brothers dead, he discusses the matter of his succession with his mother. To her chagrin, he suggests that, if he were to die, [[Jon Snow]] should succeed him. Shortly after, he sends [[Maege Mormont]] and [[Galbart Glover]] north to [[Greywater Watch]] with a letter detailing his plans, its contents unrevealed. <br />
<br />
He marches back north to the [[Twins]] in order to gain passage for his army back across the [[Trident]]. Aware that he slighted Walder Frey in his marriage to Jeyne Westerling, he suggests that Edmure Tully wed one of Lord Walder's daughters in his stead, a proposal to which Edmure reluctantly agrees. Leaving Jeyne behind at Riverrun, he takes his host with him to the Twins, where Lord Walder agrees to wed his daughter [[Roslin Frey|Roslin]] to Edmure.<br />
<br />
Even though [[Grey Wind]] apparently senses the upcoming betrayal, Robb enters the Twins and the nuptials that later become known as the [[Red Wedding]] occur. After the ceremony and the bedding, Lord Walder betrays Robb, having smuggled sellswords into the feast under the guise of musicians, and murders Robb along with all of his companions and men. Catelyn watches [[Roose Bolton]] deliver the final blow to her son, stabbing him through the heart. Driven mad with despair, Catelyn murders Walder's lackwit grandson [[Jinglebell]] and is killed shortly thereafter herself. Grey Wind is also slain, his head removed and sewn onto Robb's body.<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Robb's appearance favored his [[House Tully|Tully]] side, with a stocky build, blue eyes, and thick auburn hair. He opened the series as a boy of fourteen years.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 1|Chapter 1]], Bran</ref> <br />

'''Robb Stark''' is the eldest son of [[Eddard Stark]] and [[Catelyn Stark|Catelyn Tully]] and the heir to [[Winterfell]] and the North. Upon his father's imprisonment for treason, he raised his banners and marched south with a host to aid his allies in the [[Riverlands]] and to free his father. After his father's execution he was named [[King in the North]] by his followers. Called '''"The Young Wolf"''' by many of his followers and foes alike, he shares his father's devotion to honor and was frequently accompanied by his [[direwolf]], [[Grey Wind]], whom he always took with him into battle. In the [[Game of Thrones|TV series]] he is played by Richard Madden.<ref>[http://www.hbo.com/game-of-thrones/index.html#/game-of-thrones/cast-and-crew.html/eNrjcmbOYC5kzlfPz0lxzEvMqSzJTA5ITE-1S8xN1SzLTEnNh4k65+eVpFaUsEknlpbkF+QkVtqWFJWmcjIysgEhAGCyFzg= Cast and Crew] on HBO</ref> <br />

<div>__NOTOC__<br />
<br />
After Aegon's Conquest and the new rule of the Targaryen kings over the Seven Kingdoms of old, the need of a common calendar appeared.<br />
<br />
It was chosen to take [[Aegon's Landing]] to Westeros in what would become the capital city of [[King's Landing]] as an [[w:Epoch (reference date)|epoch]]. Maesters and educated people counted the years in relation to that event.<br />
<br />
It was not unusual, however, both for common people and nobles alike, to refer to particular years with simpler appelatives such as "The second year of Robert's reign" or "The Year of the False Spring" instead.<br />

<hr />
<div>The [[Bastardy|bastard daughters]] of Prince [[Oberyn Martell]] by various women, they are collectively called the Sand Snakes in reflection of their father, the Red Viper. The oldest Sand Snakes are companions and confidantes of their cousin, [[Arianne Martell|Princess Arianne]]. The youngest four are Oberyn's daughters by his [[paramour]], [[Ellaria Sand]]. Despite the variances in their birthmothers and appearances, they are all said to have their father's eyes. <br />
<br />
==Members==<br />
In order of age:<br />
*'''[[Obara Sand]]'''. Daughter of a whore of Oldtown, and given to martial pursuits as she considers herself a warrior, wielding a spear and whip. She is a sturdily built woman of swarthy coloring and no particular beauty.<br />
*'''[[Nymeria Sand]]'''. Called Lady Nym, her mother was a noblewoman from [[Free Cities#Volantis|Old Volantis]]. Nymeria is elegant, refined, and beautiful with dark eyes and silky black hair worn in a braid bound with copper wires.<br />

{{See homonyms | Viserys Targaryen (disambiguation)}}<br />
<br />
'''Viserys II''' (+/- [[120 AL]] - [[172 AL]]) was a King of the [[Seven Kingdoms]]. He was the brother of [[Aegon III]] and son of [[Rhaenyra Targaryen]]. He ascended the throne after the deaths of Aegon's sons. <br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Viserys is not remembered fondly in Westeros as some accuse him of poisoning his nephew Baelor I to gain the throne and doing nothing once he gained it. In truth, Viserys as [[Hand of the King|Hand]] to the former kings was instrumental in keeping the realm intact while Daeron warred and Baelor prayed. Viserys reigned for a year, but he truly ruled and preserved the land for much longer.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 59|Chapter 59]], Sansa</ref> <br />
<br />
==Family==<br />
{{Template:Targaryen tree Viserys}}<br />
<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
According to a semi-canon source, Viserys II was clean-shaven with long hair. He had a prominent nose, bushy eyebrows and a shrewd, calculating look to him. He wore the simple crown of Aegon III.<ref>Targaryen Kings. (November 1, 2005) [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Category/C91/ So Spake Martin]</ref><br />

<div>The [[Bastardy|bastard daughters]] of Prince [[Oberyn Martell]] by various women, they are collectively called the Sand Snakes in reflection of their father, the Red Viper. The oldest Sand Snakes are companions and confidantes of their cousin, [[Arianne Martell|Princess Arianne]]. The youngest four are Oberyn's daughters by his [[paramour]], [[Ellaria Sand]].

<br />

2011-09-04T03:11:50Z
<p>Ryleegregory: formatting and grammar</p>
<hr />
<div>{{Theory_Policy}}<br />
<br />
One theory about the [[Sailor's Wife]] is that her real husband was a [[House Lannister|Lannister]].<br />
<br />
==Theory==<br />
The basis of this idea is that her daughter is named [[Lanna (Happy Port)|Lanna]]<ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 34|Chapter 34]], Cat of the Canals</ref> which is the feminine form of the name [[Lann the Clever|Lann]], from which the family name is derived.<ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 7|Chapter 7]], Cersei</ref><ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Appendix|Appendix]]</ref> Her daughter has golden hair, a [[House Lannister|<br />
Lannister]] trait.<ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 34|Chapter 34]], Cat of the Canals</ref><br />
<br />
==Possible Husbands==<br />
Her husband is thought to be either [[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion]] or [[Gerion Lannister]].<br />
<br />
===Tyrion Lannister===<br />
She could be his first wife, [[Tysha]]. [[Lanna (Happy Port)|Lanna]] is the right age to be a daughter of their marriage. The [[Sailor's Wife]] also states that she was the same age as Lanna is now when she gave birth to her. This puts her at about the same age when she gave birth as Tysha when she was married to Tyrion.<ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 34|Chapter 34]], Cat of the Canals</ref> The fact that she works in a whorehouse supports the statement [[Tywin Lannister]] made before he died when he said she was "wherever whores go."<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 77|Chapter 77]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
=====Counter Arguments=====<br />
* Tyrion was not a sailor.<br />
* How and why did she go to [[Braavos]]?<br />
* Tyrion is not dead as [[Yna]] predicts.<ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 34|Chapter 34]], Cat of the Canals</ref><br />
<br />
===Gerion Lannister===<br />
He could be the Lannister husband because he was a sailor and is thought to be dead.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Appendix|Appendix]]</ref> He has been to Braavos.<br />

Queen '''Jeyne Westerling''' is the eldest daughter of Lord [[Gawen Westerling]] and [[Sybell Spicer]]. She was briefly married to King [[Robb Stark]], around a year before he was killed. <br />
<br />
==History==<br />
House Westerling is an old house that descends from the [[First Men]].<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 14|Chapter 14]], Catelyn</ref> Although noble and old the family is not rich, their gold mines having failed. Presumably to better his finances [[Gawen Westerling]] wed [[Sybell Spicer]], the daughter of an ennobled family that descended from merchants. Because of the low standing of Jeyne's mother, she was rejected as a match for one of [[Kevan Lannister]]'s sons.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 19|Chapter 19]], Tyrion</ref><br />
<br />
==Recent Events==<br />
===A Storm of Swords===<br />
During King [[Robb Stark]]'s expedition in the [[Westerlands]] his army stormed the ancestral keep of the Westerlings. Robb was wounded by an arrow and was nursed by Jeyne. While still at [[the Crag]] a message came that Robb's brothers had been killed by his former friend Prince [[Theon Greyjoy]]. Jeyne comforted Robb in his grief and they slept together. To protect her honour he married her the next day.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 14|Chapter 14]], Catelyn</ref> The marriage led directly to the break-up of her husband’s alliance with [[House Frey]], as Robb had sworn to wed a Frey girl. The Freys took their forces back to [[the Twins]], although a part of their strength remained with Lord [[Roose Bolton]].<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 14|Chapter 14]], Catelyn</ref><br />
<br />
The couple were devoted to each other. They had sex very often. Jeyne tried very hard to be a good wife for Robb, although she was worried about the pressure he was under as King of the North. On [[Catelyn Tully|Catelyn]]'s advice she tried to be patient and understanding.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 20|Chapter 20]], Catelyn</ref> Robb for his part was able to smile and be temporarily without worries when he was in her company.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 35|Chapter 35]], Catelyn</ref><br />
<br />
After negotiations, House Frey offered to ally themselves once again to the Starks in return for the marriage of [[Edmure Tully]] to [[Roslin Frey]] and a personal apology from Robb.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 35|Chapter 35]], Catelyn</ref> Jeyne remained at [[Riverrun]] to avoid extra tension between Lord Frey and her husband.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 45|Chapter 45]], Catelyn</ref><br />
<br />
At the [[Red Wedding|wedding]], House Frey betrayed and killed Robb. After the wedding, Jeyne was pardoned by the [[Iron Throne]].<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 72|Chapter 72]], Jaime</ref><br />
<br />
===A Feast for Crows===<br />
Jeyne went into mourning, to the chagrin of her mother, who had been in secret negotiations with Lord [[Tywin Lannister]]. Unknown to Jeyne, her mother had given her potions against pregnancy under the pretense of a fertility potion. Riverrun was besieged shortly after but the siege was settled peacefully by Ser [[Jaime Lannister]]. He had Jeyne returned to her father. She was then sent back to the Crag. To avoid tales that her dead husband had given her a child (and thus an heir), Jeyne was to remain unmarried for two years and was given a strong escort of soldiers with secret instructions to kill her if there would be any attempt to kidnap her.<ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 44|Chapter 44]], Jaime</ref><br />
<br />
==Family==<br />
Jeyne has two brothers and a sister. Her elder brother [[Raynald Westerling|Raynald]] was present at the [[Red Wedding]]. He freed [[Grey Wind]], and tried to escape the Freys by jumping in the river. He is presumed dead.<ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 43|Chapter 43]], Jaime</ref> Her younger brother [[Rollam Westerling|Rollam]] served as Robb's squire.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 14|Chapter 14]], Catelyn</ref> Her younger sister is Eleyna. Eleyna and Jeyne are both to marry lords or heirs, as negotiated between their mother and Tywin Lannister.<ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 44|Chapter 44]], Jaime</ref> <br />
<br />
<br />
{{Westerling tree}}<br />
<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Jeyne is a shy, pretty girl though not a beauty to lose a kingdom for.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 14|Chapter 14]], Catelyn</ref><ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 44|Chapter 44]], Jaime</ref> She is slender of posture. Jeyne has "chestnut curls and heart-shaped face" and brown eyes.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 14|Chapter 14]], Catelyn</ref><br />
