Origin: Tywin was the head of House Lannister, Lord of Casterly Rock, and Warden of the West. Despite the several recent Kings in King's Landing, Tywin was the real power in King's Landing. Tywin was among the richest and most powerful people in Westeros. He is a widower with three children, Jaime, Cersei, and Tyrion. Casterly Rock, the Lannisters' ancestral seat of power, is located over a group of highly productive goldmines, which have provided the Lannisters with immense wealth and power over the years and led to the joke that Tywin "shits gold."

Tywin is the beloved son of Tytos Lannister. His father presided over a period of decline for the house, frittering away much of their fortune on poor investments and allowing himself to be mocked at court, creating a perception of weakness. Their vassals House Reyne of Castamere rebelled against Lord Tytos, and Tywin put down the rebellion personally, extinguishing their house and re-establishing the fearsome reputation of House Lannister. His ruthless destruction of House Reyne was immortalized in the song "The Rains of Castamere" and gave darker meaning to the common phrase "A Lannister always pays his debts," which originally referred solely to the Lannisters' vast fortune.

Tywin married his cousin Joanna Lannister and their first children were the fraternal twins Cersei and Jaime. She died after giving birth to Tyrion, which Tywin has blamed his son for ever since. When Jaime was diagnosed with a learning difficulty by a maester who predicted that he would never read, Tywin sat with his son for four hours a day until he overcame his problems with transposing letters in his mind, much to Jaime's resentment. Tywin despises his younger son, seeing him as misshapen and perverse. When Tyrion was very young, Jaime set him up with a whore. Jaime posed her as a common girl in distress that they rescued from bandits. Jaime chased the bandits off while Tyrion comforted the girl. They married, but when Tywin found out he was furious and made Jaime reveal the truth. Tywin paid her for every one of his guards to have sex with her and forced Tyrion to watch. Tyrion's hatred of Tywin has been reciprocated since. Nevertheless, all of Tywin's children are in awe of him and heed his counsel. He also took part in the War of the Ninepenny Kings.

A highly capable administrator, Tywin served as Hand of the King to Aerys II Targaryen for twenty years until the Mad King, driven by envy and distrust, rejected Tywin's proposal to marry his daughter Cersei to Prince Rhaegar and made his son Jaime a member of the Kingsguard. As members of the Kingsguard are forbidden to marry, Aerys had effectively robbed Tywin of his heir, which Tywin perceived as a great insult and resigned.[18][20][3] During Robert's Rebellion Tywin remained neutral, answering neither the summons of the King nor the calls from the rebels, until the Battle of the Trident, after which it became clear that the rebels would win. Tywin marched with the full power of Casterly Rock to the capital, feigning that he had come to defend it from the rebellion. Aerys's advisors urged the King not to trust Tywin, even Jaime Lannister, who knew his father would never back the losing side in a war.

Nevertheless, on Pycelle's advice, the gates were opened to the massive Lannister army of 10,000 soldiers and began killing hundreds, even thousands of people. Tywin and his army ordered the city to be taken and the royal family murdered in a ruthless and efficient manner; as a result the city was sacked and the royal family massacred by Ser Gregor Clegane. Upon seeing Tywin's betrayal, Aerys ordered Jaime to bring him Tywin's head and instructed his royal pyromancer, Rossart, to set King's Landing ablaze. Jaime responded by personally stabbing the Mad King in the back, then slitting his throat. When Robert Baratheon and Eddard Stark reached the Red Keep, Tywin presented the bodies of the royal family as proof of his allegiance. After the rebellion, Robert Baratheon took the throne and married Tywin's daughter Cersei to cement the alliance between their houses.

Cersei gave birth to three children: Joffrey, Myrcella, and Tommen Baratheon. Unbeknownst to Tywin, all three children are the product of her incestuous relationship with Jaime. This was discovered by both Jon Arryn and Eddard Stark, albeit independently, and meant that Joffrey—the oldest of the Baratheon children and the heir apparent to the Iron Throne—had no actual claim to the throne. Tywin is close to his younger brother, Kevan, who is his chief advisor. Kevan's son Lancel was King Robert's squire; many secretly believe Lancel gave Robert too much wine during his fatal hunt on Cersei's orders.

Important Relationships: His late wife: Joanna Lannister, Only Woman, person, he ever truely loved. His daughter: Cersei Baratheon (Lannister), Tywin doesn't want think about his daughter much at all if he can help it.

Will not name Tyrion heir, as to why he needs a new heir. His eldest grandson (Son of Cersei): Joffrey Baratheon, Tywin views him as an incompetent king. Wishes for him to allow Tywin to rule, or another council member, until he becomes of age purely because of his rash stupidity. Joffrey is cruel and downright evil. His Granddaughter (Cersei's daughter): Myrcella Baratheon, they rarely interact but he has nothing against her. Believes the princess to be a bright young Lady, unlike her mother. His youngest Grandson (Cersei's Son): Tommen Baratheon, Believes Tommen is weak, but would be a better king that joffrey due to his kinder hart Tommen is often and quite quickly brought to tears which Tywin despises but he believes Tommen just needs te correct guidance.

He lives in King's landing in The Tower of The Hand, located in The Red Keep. Previously lived in Casterly Rock before the war began.

Tywin cares a lot about his and his families reputation. Tywin spends his free times, in the rare chance that he has any, fishing. He is often found in his Solar, located inside THe Tower of The Hand. Does not sleep until late and wakes very early.

He hates Immature people and people who act without thinking because they remind him of his father, Lord Tytos, who was a people pleasure that lead to the Lannister house crumbling. Tywin killed house Reyne and House tarbeck in order to make the lannisters strong again. Lord tywin is now the richest man in the seven kingdoms.

Thinks his Grandson Joffrey is immature and not suited to be king. Hates his son tyrion because he is a dwarf and killed Tywin’s wife durning birth. Thinks Jamie and Cersei are disappointments.

Living: as the richest man in the Seven Kingdoms and the Lord of House Lannister. Cold, calculating and distant, Tywin Lannister preaches to his children the importance of family – although he’s more interested in protecting the family’s name and power than the people in it.

Profession: head of House Lannister. In practice, that means he’s a combination of politician, military general and businessman. He keeps an eye on the family’s gold reserves but also gets his hands dirty when he has to.

Interests: leaving behind a lasting legacy for the Lannister name. His father was famously gregarious and squandered the family’s fortune. Tywin took the opposite approach in regaining that money. Finding success through conservative, unemotional tactics has influenced all his subsequent decisions both personally and professionally.

Relationship Status: widowed after his wife Joanna died giving birth to their son Tyrion. Years later, he still blames Tyrion for her death. Tywin seems to grieve for his wife for romantic reasons. However, he sees marriage as a form of political alliance and encourages his children to find spouses who come from other noble families to strengthen the family’s political bonds.

Challenge: keeping his family rich and powerful. Tywin often stresses how important it is for people to respect and fear the Lannister name. However, his family’s legacy could take a substantial hit if word gets out that his grandson Joffrey, currently the King ruling atop the Iron Throne, is actually the son of his children Cersei (the Queen) and Jaime Lannister, rather than the legitimate offspring of Cersei and her now-dead husband, King Robert Baratheon. Thus Joffrey isn’t the rightful heir, and is the product of incest to boot. That’s not something Tywin would likely even be able to admit to himself, never mind tolerate being spread across the Seven Kingdoms.

Personality: very smart, but guarded and extremely slow to show love or emotion. He hammers home to his children the importance of family, and yet he blames his youngest son for his wife’s death. Ultimately, family is a way for him to remain powerful, not be emotionally satisfied. He tells his son Jaime, “It’s the family name that lives on... Not your personal glory, not your honor... but family.” Pragmatic to the last, Tywin Lannister finds principles to be cumbersome, and always simply strives to make the best decision possible to maintain and expand power.
