Tyrion's High Septon is regarded as a weak willed but good man. He prayed with Ser [[Lancel Lannister]] when he was injured and near death. Lancel confesses his sins to him, such as bedding Queen [[Cersei Lannister]] and giving King [[Robert I Baratheon]] a more potent wine than he was used to which resulted in his death. The High Septon said he must forgive her though. Cersei, paranoid about what Lancel may have told him, orders the High Septon's death.
