Character Bio

Tyrion Lannister is Tywin's third child, a highly intelligent dwarf mockingly nicknamed "The Imp" and "Halfman". Though Tyrion shares his father's talent for political maneuvering, he receives little respect from Tywin because of his deformity, sharp tongue, penchant for whoring, and the death of his mother during his birth. He is capable of cruelty to his enemies, but also has great sympathy for fellow outcasts and the mistreated. Overall, Tyrion is a classical quick-witted trickster figure.

Tyrion Lannister Quotes
![]() | Season 3 / Episode 5: - Kissed by Fire Tywin Lannister: [Tyrion Lannister enters Tywin's meeting chambers. He sees his sister Cersei and his father Tywin sitting at the table] You're late. Tyrion Lannister: What is she doing here? Tywin Lannister: Our business concerns her too. Sit. Tyrion Lannister: [Tywin sits with a thick book in his hand] You'll be pleased to learn that after one conversation with Olenna Tyrell, I've saved the Crown hundreds of thousands on this wedding. Tywin Lannister: Never mind that now. We have something important to discuss. Tyrion Lannister: I'm Master of Coin. Saving money is important. [Cersei smirks to the point of almost snickering. He looks at her with fuming annoyance] Stop that. You're making me uncomfortable. Tywin Lannister: Your sister has learned that your new friends the Tyrells are plotting marry Sansa Stark to Ser Loras. Tyrion Lannister: Very well. She's a lovely girl. Missing some of Loras' favorite bits, but I'm sure they'll make do. Tywin Lannister: Your jokes are not appreciated. Tyrion Lannister: It wasn't my best, but I thought... Tywin Lannister: [interrupting Tyrion] I bring them into the royal fold and this is how they repay me, by trying to steal the key to the North out from under me. Tyrion Lannister: Sansa is the key to the North? I seem to remember she has an older brother. Tywin Lannister: The Karstarks have marched home. The young wolf has lost half his army. His days are numbered. Theon Greyjoy murdered both his brothers. That makes Sansa Stark the heir to Winterfell. And I'm not about to hand her over to the Tyrells. Tyrion Lannister: The Tyrell army is helping us to win this war. Do you really think it's wise to refuse them? Tywin Lannister: There's nothing to refuse. This is a plot. Plots are not public knowledge. And the Tyrells won't carry this one out until after Joffrey's wedding. We need to act first and kill this union in its crib. Tyrion Lannister: And how do we do that? Tywin Lannister: We find Sansa Stark a different husband. Tyrion Lannister: Wonderful. Cersei Lannister: Yes, it is. Tyrion Lannister: [Tyrion looks at his sister beaming at him. His eyes widen and immediately learns he's the one his father plans to marry Sansa Stark. He looks back at his father, appalled] You can't mean it. Tywin Lannister: I can and I do. Tyrion Lannister: Joffrey has made this poor girl's life miserable since the day he took her father's head. Now she's finally free of him and you want her to give her to me? That's cruel even for you. Tywin Lannister: Do you intend on mistreating her? The girl's happiness is not my concern - nor should it be yours. Tyrion Lannister: She's a child! Cersei Lannister: She's flowered, I assure you. She and I have discussed it at length. |
![]() | Season 3 / Episode 5: - Kissed by Fire Tywin Lannister: There, you see? You will wed her, bed her, and put a child in her. Surely you're capable of that. Tyrion Lannister: And if I refuse? Tywin Lannister: You wanted to be rewarded for your valor in battle. Sansa Stark is a finer reward than you could ever dare hope for. And it is past time you were wed. Tyrion Lannister: [responds snarkily and angrily] I was wed. Or don't you remember you? Tywin Lannister: [displeased with his son's tone] Only too well. Cersei Lannister: [looks at her brother with glee] You should be thanking the gods for this. This is more than you deserve. Tywin Lannister: Tyrion will do as he's bid. Tywin Lannister: As will you. Cersei Lannister: [turns to her father, confused and uncertain of what he's talking about] What do you mean? Tywin Lannister: You'll marry Ser Loras. Cersei Lannister: [Tyrion's eyes go from his father to his sister] I will not. Tywin Lannister: The boy is heir to Highgarden. Tyrion will secure the North. You will secure the Reach. Cersei Lannister: No, I won't do it. Tywin Lannister: Yes, you will. You're still fertile. You need to marry and breed. Cersei Lannister: [snaps at her father with intense anger] I am Queen Regent, not some broodmare. Tywin Lannister: [shouts angrily and almost interrupting her] You're my daughter! You will do as I command and you will marry Loras Tyrell and put an end to the disgusting rumors about you once and for all. Cersei Lannister: [pleading] Father, don't make me do it again, please. Tywin Lannister: [gets up, pounding the table with his fist] Not another word. Tywin Lannister: My children. You've disgraced the Lannister name for far too long. |
