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

Line 165:
* [[I Have Your Wife|I Have Your Brother]]: Has been captured by the Starks, who plan to use him as a hostage against Cersei.
* [[In-Series Nickname]]: The Kingslayer. More or less [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]--he assassinated Aerys, the last Targaryen King, which put Robert on the throne. However, it also gave him a really bad reputation because he was a member of the [[Praetorian Guard|Kingsguard]], who were supposed to ''defend'' the king with their lives. This has made the people see him as [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder|a man who will quickly change his loyalty when it suits him]].
* [[Ironic Echo]]: Jaime is stripped of his title as Lord Commander of the Kingsguard in much the same way Barristan the Bold was, even having to discard his armor in front of the throne. It's unclear whether he's been dismissed from the Kingsguard entire or just the Lord Commander position... if he's no longer Kingsguard, he's technically {{spoiler|the rightful ruler of Westeros, not Cersei, as of Tommen's death}}.
* [[Jerkass]]: Consistently arrogant, and has a knack for causing the audience to want to see him killed. Not necessarily all that far from being completely unsympathetic, although he is saved from this by having [[Even Evil Has Standards|''some'' standards.]]
* [[Kick the Dog]]: Throwing Bran out of a tower window, obviously. {{spoiler|Also, developing a quick rapport with his cousin Alton, who greatly admires him, only to kill him in order to escape imprisonment.}}
