Jaime Lannister

Ser Jaime Lannister is the second-born son of Tytos Lannister, and a knight from House Lannister. A talented young swordsman, Jaime is much different in character to his older brother, Triston.

## Appearance and Character

Jaime is a typical Lannister by looks; tall, attractive, and with long golden hair. He has bright green eyes, his looks making him very favourable to the young ladies of the courts. He can be a threatening figure to look at, clad in his fearsome armour, though he is still green when it comes to martial experience.

A jovial person, Jaime has a wry sense of humour and a somewhat cynical approach to some things. He likes to fight and talk, and keeps his drinking on the low side so as to be better prepared if a situation was to occur.

## Abilities and Weaknesses

Jaime is strong, charming, and a talented swordsman - winning many a small tourney back home. He loves his family, and will do as much as he can to aid their cause. Is passionate like his father, and has shown an aptitude for martial matters. A good talker, persuasive and can make friends when he needs to.

Despite this, Jaime does not have much of a care, or skill, for diplomatic matters and much prepares to be face to face with a foe in the field, sword in hand. His confidence can sometimes be taken as arrogance, and he no doubt thinks he is better than he actually is. He is young and green, and still has a lot to learn, experience to gain. Can be quick to temper, and is abrasive to his enemies, and can become impatient at times.

## Brief History

Jaime has always been lucky; being born a second son of House Lannister carries many perks. He was brought up wealthy and well trained, but was not expected as much of as his older brother Triston. This gave him more time to train his passions, namely swordplay, and it soon became quick to the master-at-arms, Tywin Lannister, that Jaime was a naturally skilled swordsman - even more so than his brother. He was knighted at 16 by Lord Marbrand, his uncle on his mother's side, after serving him ably as a squire.
