Tyrion Lannister (Hear Me Roar!)

## Tyrion Lannister

Ser **Tyrion Lannister**, known as the **Laughing Lion**, is a knight of House Lannister and the second son of Lord Tywin Lannister and Lady Joanna Lannister. He is married to Lynesse Hightower, with whom he has two children; Tybolt, and Lelia.

## Appearance and Character

A handsome and strong youth, Tyrion has the thick sandy hair and green eyes of House Lannister. He closely resembles his brother Ser Jaime Lannister whom he admires and aspires to be like.

Tyrion is arrogant and self-assured like most Lannister's, though unlike his father he has a cunning wit and good sense of humour. Comely and well spoken, Tyrion is able to sing, and is eager for the same glory his brother Jaime has had through his life. While not as good a swordsman as his brother, Tyrion is still highly skilled through training from the master-at-arms at Casterly Rock and his brother Jaime. Tyrion has a very effective strategic mind and has proven his bravery on the battlefield.

Tyrion is an easy man to get on with, despite his arrogance, with his good humoured nature offsetting the Lannister pride. Among his friends he counts his brother Jaime, his favourite uncle Gerion, and many more. It's been said that on rare occasions, Tyrion can even bring the hint of a smile to his fathers face - something the young knight sees as a triumph.

## History

### Early life

Tyrion was born in 273 AC to Lord Tywin Lannister and his wife Lady Joanna Lannister as their second-son and third-born child. King Aerys II Targaryen reacted poorly to the birth, questioning how Tywin could have a third healthy child, whilst he, the King, only had one healthy child.

Shortly after Tyrion's birth his future sister-in-law Elia Martell and future brother-in-law Oberyn Martell arrived at Casterly Rock, proposing a marriage between Elia and Jaime, Tyrion's older brother. Initially Lord Tywin was going to propose a marriage between Tyrion and Elia, but his wife convinced him to accept Jaime and Elia's betrothal, using Elia's age as a defining factor.

During most of Tyrion's childhood, his father Tywin served as Hand of the King to King Aerys II Targaryen in King's Landing, and as a consequence was absent from home for longer periods of time. As a child, Tyrion enjoyed spending much time with his mother, his uncle Gerion who "taught him humour", and his brother after he returned home in 278 AC. His sister Cersei was always cold towards him, unbeknown to Tyrion this was due to a prophecy from the woods witch, Maggy the Frog that claimed the *valonqar* would come to end her life.

In 277 AC Tyrion's younger brother Lancel was born. Tyrion took well to his new brother and would keep him entertained for the few years they spent together in their early childhood. Later that year the realm was thrown into chaos after the Tragedy of Duskendale, an event which saw the death of the king and ascension of Prince Rhaegar to the throne. With this Tyrion's father remained at King's Landing to be the Hand of the King, but now brought Cersei as the King and Tyrion's sister were betrothed.
Branda Stark (The Lion and the Dragon)

## LadyBranda Stark

Lady **Branda Stark** is the only daughter of Brandon Stark and Lady Catelyn Tully. She is the new head of House Stark and Lady of Winterfell since the recent death of her grandsire, Lord Rickard Stark. She is named after her father Brandon Stark who died prior to her birth in the War of the Usurpers.

## Appearance and Character

Branda is traditionally beautiful, taking after her mother's family - House Tully - with her high cheekbones, vivid blue eyes, and thick auburn hair. As she has grown up, her figure has been described as tall, graceful, and womanly. Despite this natural beauty Branda, as was her wont, paid little heed to her personal appearance, preferring martial activities and exploration to the traditional pursuits of noblewomen.

Despite her mothers attempts at pushing Branda to more feminine pursuits she rejected every attempt, preferring to regularly spar with her cousin and betrothed, Robb Stark. The pair bonded over their mutual love for martial activities and it's said Branda reminded Robb's father, her uncle and regent Eddard Stark, of Lyanna Stark, Branda's late aunt.

## History

### Childhood

Branda was conceived on the wedding night of Brandon Stark and Catelyn Tully at The Twins. Afterward her father Brandon travelled south to take part in the War of the Usurpers while her mother Catelyn went north to Winterfell. She was born in Winterfell in late 282 AC, with Maester Luwin aiding her mother in the process.

In the Second Battle of Riverrun Branda's father Brandon was slain by Ser Jaime Lannister. Thus when she was born her father was already dead and her mother a widow, grieving in Winterfell with none of her own family to comfort her.

The birth of Branda complicated matters in Winterfell, with the heir to the North now being a girl. The last time this had happened was Rickon Stark's daughters in 161 AC, but at that time the succession went instead to the half-uncle of the girls, Lord Jonnel Stark, who married the eldest heir to Winterfell.

At the war's end Branda's grandsire Lord Rickard Stark returned to Winterfell alongside Eddard Stark, her nuncle. With Eddard came his wife Morya Frey and a newborn baby boy, Robb. Despite being babies, it was decided that Branda and Robb would eventually marry in order to unite the two Stark lines and keep Winterfell under Stark control.

Branda spent the vast majority of her life in Winterfell, though she would occasionally accompany her grandsire and nuncle to White Harbour, as well as her mother to Riverrun. From a young age she was taught womanly arts by Septa Mordane who her mother had brought to Winterfell, though she took little interest in these lessons or the ones taught to her by Maester Luwin. Instead she much preferred her horse-riding lessons, many comparing her to her aunt and calling her a centaur.

As well as riding Branda loved swordfighting, though her grandsire forbade it. Despite this she was often found having secret lessons from Rodrik Cassel, the master-at-arms of Winterfell, alongside her cousin and betrothed Robb Stark.

Samwell Tarly (The Lion and the Dragon)

## Samwell Tarly

**Samwell Tarly** is the eldest son of Lord Randyll Tarly and his wife Lady Melessa Florent. A recruit of the Night's Watch originally from House Tarly, he is popularly called **Sam**.

## History

### Travel to the Citadel

One of Roose Bolton's first acts as Lord Commander is to send Samwell south to the Citadel of Oldtown, where he might study to become Maester Aemon's successor - though in reality it was little more than an attempt to take one of Lonnel Snow's key allies out of the equation. Roose also sends Yoren to recruit more for the Night's Watch, another ally to Lonnel, as well as Aemon. He also sends Gilly and her newborn son away with Samwell. Maester Aemon falls ill on the voyage, however, and stopping in Braavos they are forced to spend their coin on an inn and a healer. Aemon's condition worsens, though he briefly wakes and wishes to hear the stories of Aegon Targaryen's dragons that are spreading throughout the city, having the revelation that Aegon may be the true fulfillment of the prophecy of the prince that was promised.
Ramsay Snow (The Lion and the Dragon)

## Ramsay Snow

**Ramsay Snow** is a member of House Bolton. He is the bastard son of Roose Bolton, Lord Commander of the Night's Watch and Lord of the Dreadfort, and is known as **the Bastard of Bolton** and **the Bastard of the Dreadfort**.

Aegon Blackfyre (Hear Me Roar!)

## Aegon Blackfyre

**Aegon VI Blackfyre**, also known as the **Merchant King**, was the son and second child of Illyrio Mopatis and Serra Blackfyre. He was the sole member of House Blackfyre remaining, Daemon I Blackfyre being his great-grandsire through his mother. His father is Illyrio Mopatis who wishes to use his wealth and influence to install Aegon on the Iron Throne.

## Appearance and Character

Aegon has the typical Blackfyre Valyrian looks with dark-blue and sometimes purple eyes, and silver-gold hair. He shares his fathers looks from when he was a young sellsword, being handsome, muscular, and tall.

Despite his very kingly appearance, Aegon can at times be a petulant young man who is easily manipulated by those around him - especially his father and his father's friend Varys.

Aegon is a good sword fighter, whilst not among the best in Westeros or Essos he has proven that he can fight in a sparring match aboard the *Shy Maid* with Ser Rolly Duckfield. Despite not being the greatest swordfighter Aegon was provided with the sword Blackfyre by his father. Its symbolic nature as Aegon the Conqueror's sword was what gave the original Blackfyre pretender Daemon I his claim to the throne.

## Early History

Aegon was born in 281 AC to Magister Illyrio Mopatis and Serra Blackfyre. At the time of his birth he and his mother were the last remaining members of House Blackfyre, the rebellious cadet branch of House Targaryen. He was raised in secret by his father who hid the identity of his mother by claiming she was a prostitute he had fallen in love with.

A young woman in her early teens, Visenya has the classical Valyrian look; She has violet eyes, pale skin, and long, pale silver-gold hair. Visenya is slender of frame, but has an ample chest. She is described as both fair and beautiful, and is tall for a lady, being about the same height as her mother already.

Visenya was very much her father's daughter, a strong-willed girl who grew up being taught both womanly arts and martial pursuits. She was similar to her other siblings and was brave a brave young girl with an intelligence that surprised some for her age.

Visenya was a skilled fighter, though her brother was stronger and had more skill using a sword, Visenya was able to use her more petite body to her advantage and thus had a degree of agility Aegon couldn't match.

Gregor Clegane (The Lion and the Dragon)

## SerGregor Clegane

Ser **Gregor Clegane** is the Knight of Clegane's Keep and the head of House Clegane, a landed knight and bannerman to House Lannister of Casterly Rock. Gregor is a freakishly large man and for this he is often called **the Mountain That Rides** or simply **the Mountain**. His soldiers are known as the Mountain's men.

## History

### War of the Usurpers

With Gregor's liege, Lord Tywin Lannister, declaring for Prince Rhaegar Targaryen at the commencement of the War of the Usurpers, Clegane found himself calling up his men to join Tywin's banners. He proved himself to be a brutal warrior, who used his sadistic and cruel tactics to suppress all resistance and often inspire terror in both his own and his opponents men.

In the Battle on the High Road, Clegane and the Lannister host met Lord Jon Arryn and the Valemen in battle after a surprise assault by the rebel forces. Gregor personally fought Ser Kyle Royce, brother of Lord Yohn Royce, whom he slew with such savagery that only the man's armour could be used to identify him at the end of the fight.

Later Gregor was a key figure in the Sacking of the Stoney Sept. He razed much of the town on the orders of Lord Tywin Lannister, hoping to bring Ser Robert Baratheon out of hiding in order to capture him. The tactic worked after some half of the town had been destroyed and much of the townsfolk had been slaughtered by the Mountain and his men. When Robert showed himself, Gregor personally fought him. The duel lasted an hour, Robert was a strong fighter with the agility which the Mountain lacked, however he was still recovering from his wounds, and so Clegane won eventually.

With the rebellion coming to an end, Ser Gregor was pardoned for any suspected crimes he had committed during the conflict, at the request of Lord Tywin Lannister to the new King.

### Greyjoy's Rebellion

Gregor fought for House Lannister once again during the Greyjoy's Rebellion, though his role was much less decisive in this war than the civil war where he captured Robert Baratheon. In this conflict his participation was confined to the Lannister assault on Old Wyk, an island controlled by House Drumm. During the Battle for Old Wyk Gregor fought Lord Dunstan Drumm, the old lord of the island, who wielded Red Rain - a Valyrian steel sword that likely once belonged to House Reyne. Though the old Drumm fought well, especially with his Valyrian sword, Clegane was easily able to dispatch him faster than he had done Robert Baratheon some years before.

After the death of Dunstan Drumm, Clegane took the sword Red Rain and prpesented it to his liege, Lord Tywin Lannister. Thus, for the first time since the loss of Brightroar when King Tommen II Lannister went missing in the ruins of Valyria, the Lannisters had a Valyrian steel sword to their name.
Ryman Frey (The Lion and the Dragon)

## SerRyman Frey

Ser **Ryman Frey** is a knight from House Frey of the Twins. He is the eldest son of Ser Stevron Frey and second in line to inherit the title of Lord of the Crossing.

## History

### War of the Four Kings

In the chaotic aftermath of the Battle near Castamere, which saw the rebels suffer a nighttime attack, the Frey forces under Ryman's command were separated from the main Northern and Riverland armies.

Ryman's camp was attacked in the dead of night by Ser Amory Lorch, the lack of any erected defenses by Ryman meant the marauding band was easily able to fall upon the Frey's. Ryman himself was drunk and before he could properly react Sandor Clegane had slain him.
Kermit Tully (The Lion and the Dragon)

## Kermit Tully

**Kermit Tully** is a member of House Tully. He is the only son of Ser Edmure Tully and Lady Tyta Frey and second in line to Riverrun and the Riverlands.

## Appearance and Character

Daenerys has an innocent personality.

Renly Baratheon (The Lion and the Dragon)

## SerRenly Baratheon

Ser **Renly Baratheon** is a knight of House Baratheon of Storm's End. He is the third child and youngest son of Lord Steffon Baratheon and Lady Cassana Estermont. He has two older brothers; Robert and Stannis, and a younger sister, Shireen.

## History

### Early life

Renly Baratheon was born in 277 AC to Lord Steffon Baratheon and Lady Cassana Estermont. Upon his birth his two older brothers, Robert and Stannis, were already fifteen and thirteen respectively, he saw little of Robert as he split his time between Storm's End and the Eyrie where he was squired to Lord Robert Arryn.

Renly grew up in Storm's End. At the age of five the realm descended into the War of the Usurpers, based primarily around the support of his oldest brothers claim to the throne. For most of the war he was under siege in Storm's End alongside his mother, his brother Stannis, and his sister Shireen. He witnessed both the desperation of the starving garrison, as well as his mothers descent into madness.

Renly's mothers mind truly broke when his father attempted to break the siege in Storm's End. In the ensuing battle the Tyrell forces led by Lord Randyll Tarly easily swept the Baratheon forces away, Tarly personally slaying Lord Steffon Baratheon during the fight. After this his mother attempted to commit murder-suicide with the young Renly, only the intervention of Maester Cressen and Stannis stopped it from happening.

After the War of the Usurpers came to an end Renly was sent to King's Landing as a hostage and page of King Rhaegar I Targaryen to ensure Robert wouldn't rebel against the crown again. The King treated Renly well and the young Baratheon enjoyed growing up in the halls of the Red Keep alongside his sister, Shireen. Though he and the similarly-aged Prince Viserys Targaryen didn't get along, Renly felt his cousin had a touch of mania about him.

As part of the attempt to heal relations between House Baratheon and House Tyrell, Renly was betrothed to the newborn Margaery Tyrell. Years later Renly took Margaery's brother Loras Tyrell as his squire. Eventually, Renly and Loras became lovers. Although not widely known, various others at court are aware of their forbidden relationship.

## History

### War of the Four Kings

As northern forces moved down to the Twins, Stevron was essential in encouraging his father to allow his half-niece Lady Branda Stark through the Twins. Once again hashing out another agreement which would benefit House Frey greatly, Stevron took command of the Frey army that joined with the Starks forces.

Stevron would lead his Frey forces well in the Battle of the Camps and the fight was a victory in the end for the rebellion's forces. Stevron accompanies Robb Stark in his campaign into the westerlands and personally leads the Frey soldiers into battle. He is wounded at the Battle of Oxcross.

Despite his injury at Oxcross only being a minor wound, Stevron was found dead in his tent three days after the battle. His son Ser Ryman became heir to the Twins and took command of the Frey forces. This caused further disaster for the Frey forces who were attacked by Ser Amory Lorch, a raid which saw the death of Stevron's son's Ryman and Petyr.

Hear Me Roar!

In this alternate timeline we will create the ideal outcome for House Lannister, who will see their control of the realm soar beyond that which they had in the book and television series. In this TL (timeline) we will see Tyrion Lannister being born a normal and healthy child, while his mother Joanna survives after a relatively easy birth, and the butterflies that are created by this one single event will have far-reaching consequences.
Rhaenys Targaryen (The Lion and the Dragon)

## PrincessRhaenys Targaryen

Princess **Rhaenys Targaryen** is the eldest child and first daughter of King Rhaegar I Targaryen and his wife Queen Cersei Lannister. She is married to her younger brother and heir to the Iron Throne, Prince Aegon Targaryen.

## Character and Appearance

Rhaenys resembles her mother when Cersei was her age, an immaculate beauty with long, golden hair, emerald green eyes, fair skin and a slender body figure. Her appearance shares little of the Valyrian blood her father gave her, though much like both her mother and father Rhaenys is tall, standing as tall as her mother with room to grow slightly more.

Rhaenys was raised by her mother in the womanly arts, taking to needlework well and having a passion for reading, as well as joining her father Rhaegar in playing the harp. It was said that when father and daughter played the harp together they could bring almost anyone to tears.

Despite being raised more in the stereotypically womanly ways Rhaenys displays great courage, has a strong will and a great intelligence on par with her fathers. While her siblings were pushed into more martial pursuits, Rhaenys had little skill with a sword, though she developed some proficiency with bows. Indeed a gift she received on her fourteenth nameday from her father was a bow made from the wood of a goldenheart tree from the Summer Isles.
Five Years War (Lord Tywin's Gift)

The **Five Years War** was a series of conflicts within Westeros which saw all the Great Houses enter a state of war at various points, eventually culminating in the Second Long Night. It began in 298 AC when King Rhaegar I Targaryen announced he would marry his youngest daughter Visenya to his son Aegon, who as already wed to Rhaegar's eldest daughter, Rhaenys. This caused outrage in the Seven Kingdoms as it was the first polygamous Targaryen wedding since King Maegor I Targaryen.
Ramsay Snow (Lord Tywin's Gift)

## Ramsay Snow

**Ramsay Snow** is the bastard son of Roose Bolton, Lord Commander of the Night's Watch and former head of House Bolton, and is known as **the Bastard of Bolton** and **the Bastard of the Dreadfort**. He is the brother of Lord Domeric Bolton and acts as the Castellan to the Dreadfort.

## Appearance and Character

Ramsay is an ugly young man, even when dressed finely. He is big boned and slope shouldered, with a fleshiness indicating he will be fat later in life. Ramsay's skin is pink and blotchy, his nose broad, his hair long and dark and dry. Although his mouth is small, Ramsay's lips are wide and meaty, wormy looking, and he smiles a wet-lipped smile. His distinctive eyes resemble Roose's - small, close-set, and oddly pale, like two chips of dirty ice. Ramsay sometimes wears a garnet cut in the shape of a drop of blood in his right ear.

Ramsay's attire includes calfskin boots, velvet doublet, silver-chased swordbelt, and a sable cloak. He also sometimes wears a black leather jerkin over a pink velvet doublet slashed with dark red satin, along with black boots, belt, and scabbard. For battle Ramsay wears dark armor with a red helm and a pale pink cloak. His rounded helm and gorget resemble the face and shoulders of a skinless and bloody man whose mouth is open in a silent scream.

Ramsay's weapons include a falchion, a dagger, and a flaying knife, all with hilts of yellow bone.

Ramsay considers himself a true Bolton despite his birth and is highly resentful of his baseborn status, referring to himself proudly as the trueborn scion of the Dreadfort and violently correcting those who refer to him otherwise.

Ramsay is a sadist; he is cruel, savage and wild, taking delight in torturing others. He is quite fond of the old House Bolton custom of flaying their enemies alive.

Ramsay is a cunning and capable manipulator. He is particularly good at thinking on his feet, though less savvy when it comes to long-term consequences and intricate politics. He openly enjoys abusive practices such as having young women stripped naked and released into the Bolton forests, before hunting them with a pack of feral dogs. He gives a quick death to women who give him good sport (after raping them first), then flays their corpses. He likes to name his dogs after the women he enjoys most to "honor" them. The women who do not give him good sport are raped and then flayed alive.

Ramsay, though savage in battle, was never officially taught at arms. His tutor in martial prowess is Reek, his serving man, who has never received any sword training himself. Ramsay's swordsmanship style is vicious and highly aggressive, wielding his sword as if it were a butcher's cleaver.

Jon Stark (Lord Tywin's Gift)

## Jon Stark

**Jon Stark** is a member of House Stark and the second son of Eddard Stark and Maegelle Frey. Jon has two brothers; Robb and Bran; and two younger sisters; Sansa and Arya.

## Appearance and Character

Unlike his siblings, Jon shared the appearance of his Frey mother rather than his Stark father. His face was thin with a weak chin and a weaselly appearance. He had muddy brown hair and grey eyes, the latter much like his grandsire's, Stevron Frey. He was quite short and weak, his cousin Branda was taller than him and could wield the house sword Ice, unlike Jon.

Jon is a timid boy who's own uncle Benjen Stark claimed was "afraid of his own shadow". Despite the best efforts of his father, uncle, and both Winterfell's Maester Luwin and master-at-arms Ser Rodrik Cassel, Jon grew up with few skills. He wasn't particularly bright and didn't like to hold a sword. He often lied but fooled few, and his one skill seemed to be hiding from danger or punishment.

Jon liked few of his Stark relatives, believing the honour his father Ned instilled in his siblings to be a weakness. Instead he mostly spent his time with his mother, a Frey, and once said when he came of age he would quarter his Stark sigil with the Twins of the Frey's. He spent more time with his half-granduncle, Willamen Frey, who was ward to his father than he did most of his own siblings.

## History

Jon Stark was born in 285 AC to Eddard Stark and Maegelle Frey, he was born in Winterfell with Maester Luwin assisting his mother with the birth. Throughout his youth attempts were made to tutor Jon both in swordsmanship and a more general noble education, though he took to neither.

Despite his father showing him and his siblings the same love and affection, Jon came to resent his own Stark family. He grew jealous of the great importance placed on his older brother Robb's shoulders, though he himself wished to bear few responsibilities. He took to spending most of his time with his mother and half-granduncle, Willamen Frey. Despite even the encouragement of his Frey relatives Jon took to shirking any noble obligation, often hiding in the ruins of Winterfell to avoid Maester Luwin or Ser Rodrik Cassel.

In 290 AC Jon's mother almost died during the birth of his youngest sibling, Bran Stark. Though both she and the child lived, Maegelle was left bed-bound for almost a year and never fully recovered from the traumatic birth, rarely leaving the confines of the Great Keep of Winterfell. Seeing his mother in such a state traumatised Jon and he developed a deep-rooted hatred of his younger brother, blaming Bran for his mothers condition.

Edric Storm (Lord Tywin's Gift)

## Edric Storm

**Edric Storm** is the bastard son of Lord Robert Baratheon and Delena Florent.

## Appearance and Character

Edric is a sturdily attractive youth, with jet-black hair and deep blue eyes. He resembles his father, Lord Robert Baratheon, and has the characteristic hair, eyes, jaw, and cheekbones of House Baratheon. Edric also has the large ears common to House Florent.

Edric is charming and courteous, but also fierce and proud. In this manner, Ser Davos Seaworth compares Edric to both Robert and his youngest brother, Renly.

## History

Edric was conceived by Lord Robert Baratheon and Delena Florent on the wedding night of Ser Stannis Baratheon to Selyse Florent, Delena's cousin, in the couple's wedding bed. Stannis saw this as an insult to his honour, and Selyse believed this cursed their marriage so she only produced a daughter for him. As Delena was a noblewoman, Edric was acknowledged by his father and brought to Storm's End. He was raised in relative comfort at Storm's End under the guardianship of Ser Cortnay Penrose, Robert's castellan, who is fond of the boy. Edric was educated by maesters, castellans, and masters-at-arms.

Edric and his half-sister Floris were close, despite only being four years his senior she often took a maternal attitude to the bastard, protecting him from his biggest rival at court - his her twin and Edric's other half-brother, Eideard. The trueborn son of Robert and heir to Storm's End grew up to see Edric as a potential threat to his ascension to their father's seat, it was only the repeated intervention of Floris that saw Eideard not taking his disdain of the young bastard too far.

Once Eideard had been sent to Vale to squire for Lord Denys Arryn, Edrics life became far easier. His relationship with his uncle Renly was very close, while his other uncle Stannis had no time for the bastard and his own father Robert preferred getting drunk than paying his son any attention. He was so close with his uncle that Edric would often ask if, when Renly had a daughter, Edric could marry her and become legitimised.
Robb Stark (Lord Tywin's Gift)

## Robb Stark

**Robb Stark** is a member of House Stark and is the eldest son of Eddard Stark and Maegelle Frey. Robb has two brothers: Jon and Bran; and two younger sisters: Sansa and Arya. Robb is married to Branda Stark, Lady of Winterfell and his cousin.

## Appearance and Character

Robb has the typical Stark features with a long face, dark, brown hair and grey eyes so dark they almost seem black. He is graceful and quick, and has a lean build. Robb resembles his father, Eddard Stark.

Robb looks solemn and guarded, and is considered sullen and quick to sense a slight. He is a capable horseback rider and is well practiced in fighting with a sword. Robb is his father Eddard's son, with a keen sense of justice and courtesy. He shares his fathers devotion to honour. Robb dreamed he would one day lead men to glory, or even become a conqueror, as a child.

Robb wears a black cloak and surcoat over his mail. Despite not being the head of House Stark, Robb wields Ice as the blade is too unwieldly for his cousin and wife to carry. Robb's horses include a big grey-and-white gelding, a grey stallion, and a piebald gelding. Robb is better with a sword than his betrothed Branda, although she is more skilled with a lance.

As a northerner raised at Winterfell, Robb keeps faith with the old gods.

## History

Robb was conceived during the first fortnight of the marriage of Eddard Stark and Maegelle Frey - on the wedding night at the Twins. They rode north to Winterfell where Maegelle gave birth with the aid of Maester Luwin.

Robb was raised at Winterfell, and is the closest of companions with his cousin and betrothed Branda Stark. Robb and Branda trained together at arms ever since they were big enough to walk, and played at being either Aegon the Conqueror and Visenya Targaryen, or Princess Nymeria and Prince Mors Martell.

Once, Robb and Branda built a great mountain of snow above a gate. They were spotted by Mance Rayder, then a brother of the Night's Watch, who had accompanied the visiting Lord Commander Qorgyle. Mance promised not to tell on them, and the two boys eventually dumped the snow on Fat Tom, the slowest of Lord Eddard's household guards, who chased them around afterward.

Cersei Lannister (Lord Tywin's Gift)

## Cersei Lannister

Lady **Cersei Lannister** is the eldest child of Lord Tywin Lannister of Casterly Rock and his wife, Lady Joanna Lannister. She is the twin of her younger brother, Ser Jaime Lannister. She has three other younger siblings; Tyrion, Lancel, and Tyshara.

After the War of the Usurpers Cersei was betrothed to the newly-crowned King Rhaegar I's younger, nine year old brother, Jaehaerys Targaryen.

## Appearance and Character

When they were children, Cersei and her twin-brother, Jaime, looked so alike not even their father, Tywin, could tell them apart. As adults, they still significantly resemble each other. Cersei is a strikingly beautiful woman, with golden hair, emerald green eyes, fair skin, and a slender, graceful figure.

Cersei is willful, ambitious and has a certain low cunning. She is hungry and greedy for power. Cersei believes herself to be subtle and politically astute. She hates being excluded from power on account of her gender, and resents the customs and conventions put on her because she is female. She thinks of herself as a female version of her father, and feels slighted when people do not obey her commands as they would have done for Lord Tywin, but instead give her their counsel, or disagree with her, which she faults on her gender.

## History

### Marriage and Affairs

In 288 AC Cersei was married to Prince Jaehaerys Targaryen,

Within a year of her marriage to Jaehaerys, Cersei began an affair with Lord Monford Velaryon, the head of House Velaryon and King Rhaegar I Targaryen's Master of Ships. During the affair Cersei bore Monford two children; Daemon in 290 AC and Myrcella in 293 AC, both children had the typical Valyrian traits of purple eyes, silver hair and pale skin and thus she was able to pass them off as her husbands.

At some point between 293 AC and 296 AC Cersei's affair with Lord Monford had ended, but by 296 AC she had begun one with her cousin Damon Lannister, son of her uncle Kevan and squire to Ser Addam Marbrand. She took his virginity and in 297 AC gave birth to his bastard son, Joffrey.
