Lord of Casterly Rock, Warden of the West, and the most powerful lord in the Seven Kingdoms. Cold, calculating, and utterly ruthless, Tywin's obsession with family legacy drives everything he does.

Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, wife of Robert Baratheon, and twin sister of Jaime. Beautiful, ambitious, and increasingly paranoid, Cersei harbours secrets that could destroy the realm.

Cersei's twin brother and a knight of the Kingsguard, widely regarded as the finest swordsman alive. Jaime earned the name Kingslayer when he killed the Mad King Aerys, an act that branded him an oathbreaker regardless of his reasons.

The youngest child of Tywin Lannister, a dwarf despised by his father and loathed by his sister. What Tyrion lacks in physical stature he compensates for with a razor-sharp wit, political cunning, and a voracious appetite for books, wine, and life.

Tywin's younger brother and most reliable lieutenant. Competent, dutiful, and content to serve in his brother's shadow, Kevan is the steady hand that keeps House Lannister's machinery running.

The eldest son of King Robert and Queen Cersei, heir to the Iron Throne. A cruel and petulant boy who mistakes brutality for strength.
