Still Jaime kept serving as the Kingsguard to all future kings - Robert, Joffrey, and Tommen - all the while engaging in an incestuous relationship with his sister, Cersei ( Lena Headey). Realizing that the king was too far gone, Jaime stabbed Ayeris in the back, earning himself the despicable nickname "Kingslayer". During Robert’s Rebellion, after Tywin attacked the city, the Mad King ordered Jaime to set King’s Landing ablaze with wildfyre. And it’s the law that members of Kingsguard can’t hold any properties or titles. But much to Tywin’s dismay, he was sworn in as the Kingsguard to King Aerys II, popularly known as the Mad King. The eldest child to Tywin, Jaime was intended to inherit the Casterly Rock and rule as its heir. In the end, he delivers a powerful speech amidst the lords and ladies of Westeros, nominating and later successfully proclaiming Bran ( Isaac Hempstead Wright) as the new King of Westeros, and serving as his Hand, making Tyrion the only Lannister to receive a semblance of a happy ending in Game of Thrones. But upon witnessing Daenerys’ heel turn, he resigns as her Hand, and guides Jon Snow ( Kit Harrington) into killing her. He serves at her side through the conflict in Mereen, the Long Night, and the battle of King’s Landing. Before he could be executed, however, he made an escape with the help of his brother, Jaime ( Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) and Varys ( Conleth Hill), killing his father with a crossbow in the process and joining Daenerys ( Emilia Clarke) in her conquest.

Soon after, he was accused of poisoning and murdering King Joffrey, and was proclaimed guilty after a messy Trial By Combat. During his time as the Hand, he proved his aptitude for ruling and knack for political games.īut his days in the spotlight were soon put to an end after Tywin returned and saved the city from Stannis’ siege during the Battle of the Blackwater.

During the Stark’s rebellion, Tyrion was made the Hand of the King to his nephew Joffrey ( Jack Gleeson) in Tywin’s absence.

And secondly, he was born a dwarf, and as Tyrion himself has said, “All dwarves are bastards in their father’s eyes.” Despite the unfavorable environment, though, Tyrion grew up to be as sharp and intelligent as his own father. There are two reasons owing to the contempt, both dating back to the time he was born - Firstly, his birth resulted in the death of his mother, Joanna. The youngest born child to Tywin ( Charles Dance) and Joanna, Tyrion ( Peter Dinklage) had been an object of contempt to most of his family members.
