Game of Thrones/Characters/House Lannister: Difference between revisions

* [[Abusive Parents]]: He antagonizes all three of his children, but Tyrion [[Butt Monkey|gets the worst of it]] by far.

** Though he seems to genuinely love Jaime the most.

* [[Bad Boss]]: His employees aren't any better, though.

* [[Big Damn Heroes]]/[[Villainous Rescue]]: Twice! Once {{spoiler|at Harenhall when he stops the torturing and killing of prisoners through [[Pragmatic Villainy]]}} and then again when {{spoiler|he and the Tyrells saves King's Landing from being overtaken by Stannis' troops in "Blackwater".}}

* [[Pulling the Thread]]: He casually begins picking apart Arya's deception over time, noting small things like addressing him as "my lord" instead of "milord" to figure out that she's actually nobleborn instead of a commoner like she's pretending. However, he seems more amused by how clever Arya is than upset at the deception.

* [[Replacement Goldfish]]: He tells Arya that she reminds him of Cersei when he was young, and something in his voice makes it sound like he regrets how things went. <ref>He and Cersei were originally quite close, but a series of events including Tywin failing to get her married to Rhaegar Targaryen and instead marrying her to Robert strained their relationship to the point it's at now</ref>

* [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money]]:

** Implied to be a philosophy of his in particular and Lannisters in general.
