While Jaime ran off the attackers, Tyrion took the girl to an inn and comforted her. Like their father, Cersei also resents Tyrion for their mother's death, but Jaime always treated Tyrion well.Īs a teenager, Tyrion and his brother Jaime found a girl being attacked on the road.

Jaime and Cersei were eight years old at the time of their mother's death. Tyrion has two older siblings, twins Jaime Lannister and Cersei Lannister. Joanna died birthing Tyrion, and as a result of Joanna's death and Tyrion's dwarfism, his father Tywin Lannister resents him. Tyrion was born to Tywin and Joanna Lannister and is their youngest child. Despite this, he is deeply compassionate towards those who have suffered, almost exclusively: he treats Sansa Stark kindly, and is impressively reluctant to engage sexually with her, knowing that she is a child, and that she despises him and his entire family. Tyrion is by no means a flawless man: he has indulged for most of his adulthood in wine and women, and the multiple traumas he has suffered since childhood have spurred him further into these vices.

However, this changes perhaps forever after the events of Tyrion's trial for Joffrey's murder, and the terrible circumstances that take place in it. Jaime is the only immediate relative to truly respect and love him, and has been a good brother for most of their lives, being both protective, admiring and affectionate towards him since he was a child (which is ironic, because on the surface they are almost completely different). Tyrion and Cersei have a mutual tendency to think about killing each other, but despite this Tyrion has never personally threatened her (at least, not until the War of the Five Kings). Cersei, on the other hand, has never ceased to hate him, despite anything good that happens between them. Despite this, even Tywin is capable of recognizing that Tyrion is the cleverest of his children, and isn't above trusting him with some responsibility. His worst relationship is with his father Tywin, who has hated him from birth and considered him an embarrassment to the name of Lannister. He craves for love and respect from his family, but there are precious few with whom he has a good relationship. Many people underestimate him for being a dwarf, and are often shocked by how capable he is at outwitting them.

As a result of monstrous and prejudicial treatment at the hands of his father and sister, and almost everyone who has ever met him, Tyrion has developed a thick skin against other people's opinion of him, and even resolves to use it to his advantage.

A sharp-tongued man with a ferocious wit and an inability to suffer fools gladly, Tyrion is a practical and sly individual who has been disillusioned throughout his entire life to the cruelties of the world. Tyrion is highly intelligent, sophisticated and possesses a keen cunning. His unique stare has been said to make most people uncomfortable, which Tyrion tries to use to his advantage. Tyrion is an ugly dwarf, with stubby legs, a jutting forehead, mismatched eyes of green and black, and a mixture of pale blond and black hair.
