'Game of Thrones' series finale: the 20 best quotes from "The Iron Throne." By Josh Wigler Contributor The first spoken words of “The Iron Throne,” uttered by Tyrion Lannister as he walks through the ...
Tyrion Lannister is a member of House Lannister and is the third and youngest child of Lord Tywin Lannister and the late Lady Joanna Lannister. His older siblings are Cersei Lannister, the queen of King Robert I Baratheon, and Ser Jaime Lannister, a knight of Robert's Kingsguard.
Lord Tyrion Lannister is the youngest child of Lord Tywin Lannister and younger brother of Cersei and Jaime Lannister. A dwarf, he uses his wit and intellect to overcome the prejudice he faces. He is the current Lord of Casterly Rock and Hand of the King to Brandon Stark.
The answer might surprise you: Tyrion Lannister survives the entire series. Despite treason, imprisonment, and the collapse of nearly everything he believed in, he emerges not as a corpse but as Hand of the King once more—this time to Bran the Broken.
At the beginning of the series, knowing that no one will ever take him seriously, Tyrion uses his status as a Lannister to live his life with wine and prostitutes. Tyrion's life changes forever when Catelyn Stark accuses him of trying to murder Bran Stark, and imprisons him for it.
While early seasons of Game of Thrones put substantial effort into embracing this crucial thematic approach, Tyrion began to change more and more after season 4 from his book counterpart. Tyrion Lannister is a nobleman in the world of Westeros, but being born a dwarf puts him at odds with his father, Tywin Lannister.
