History Characters / ASongOfIceAndFireHouseReyne

* InformedAttribute: For all the talk of him being a social expert, the only person we ever see him outwit is the incredibly naïve Tytos Lannister; his attempted deal with Tywin was completely idiotic, making demands for hostages with pretty much zero leverage.

* IncrediblyLamePun: Tended to be on the receiving end of these thanks to their name.

* UndergroundCity: Castamere is mostly located underground, full of tunnels and mines. It comes back to bite them in the ass when Tywin orders Castamere to be sealed and flooded, [[KickTheSonOfABitch with all Reynes inside]].

* WorfHadTheFlu: When he arrived to Tarbeck Hall, he found that Tywin had already destroyed it and he [[InTheBack got hit by a stray crossbow bolt]] on his retreat, leaving him incapacitated to deal with Tywin during the fatal doomed siege of Castamere.

* AmbiguousSituation: It is implied that the Valyrian steel sword Red Rain, seen in the possession of House Drumm, previously belonged to them.

* KillThemAll: Every last member of their house be they man, woman or child was killed. More precisely drowned when Tywin rerouted water from a nearby lake into a mine entrance and flooded the underground castle with 300 people (families, relatives, servants, retainers) inside at the time.
** There is the strong possibility, as with the Tarbecks, of a scant few survivors out there: fostering being a thing and all, as well as people conveniently forgetting to count women as beings with their own ties and connections a lot of the time. However, if the Reynes were as much like the Lannisters as they are described as being, they'd also have their equivalent of the Lannets, the Lantells, etc. and other more prominently cadet off-shoots like the Lannisters of Lannisport. Not ''all'' of whom would, presumably, have been at home base when the waters came in. So... just how many people have been quietly keeping their heads well below the parapet by pretending to have no links whatsoever with the main line of Reynes ever since the wholesale deaths of their kin? And, are they active in the series?

** Lets see, an eldest son who is reputed to be the best swordsman in the Westerlands, a younger son said to be smooth-tongued and cunning and a daughter with ambitions of power and betrayal to get her House to the absolute top. The Reynes or Jaime, Tyrion and Cersei?

* {{Foil}}: Blonde, ambitious woman who hopes to rise up the social ladder and uses her body to get ahead in the game of thrones and eventually gets outdone by petty schemes. Tywin killed Lady Reyne and sired her double in Cersei.

* TheRedBaron: The Red Lion of Castamere.

* AlliterativeName: Common among them. There was a Robb Reyne during the Dance of the Dragons, and the brothers Roger and Reynard Reyne during the rule of Aegon V and Jaehaerys II.

* MakeAnExampleOfThem: There is little doubt House Reyne's fate was also a warning to the other vassal houses who had grown bold under the weak leadership of Tytos. The message was clear, the current Lord wouldn't live forever and his heir Tywin would punish any such transgression without hesitation. Since then simply having messengers play "The Rains of Castamere" to troublesome vassals has been enough to make them step in line.

The sister of Roger and Reynard. Originally betrothed to Tywald Lannister, heir to Casterly Rock. After Tywald was killed during the Peake Uprising, she seduced his twin brother, Tion, getting him to put aside his own betrothal to marry her. Once they married, she became the unofficial Lady of Casterly Rock. After Tion's death during the Fourth Blackfyre Rebellion, she pretended to be pregnant with his child, and after that claimed was proved false, she later tried to seduce Tytos (the younger brother of Tywald and Tion). When Tytos' wife Jeyne learned about this, Ellyn was promptly married off to Lord Walderan Tarbeck. She had at least three children by him (Rohanne, Cerelle and Tion).

* FrontlineGeneral: He would personally lead his forces into battle both during the War of the Ninepenny Kings and during the Reyens and Tarbecks defiance of House Lannister. The last time this bit him in the ass, since he was wounded and control of the house was left in the hands of his brother.

-->--'''Lady Genna Lannister'''

-->'''Ellyn:''' "You are not the only lions in the west, ser. My brothers are coming, and [[IronicEcho their claws are just as long and sharp as yours]].”

* MurderBallad: They are the subject matter of the probably ''the'' most famous ballad in Westeros. From ''Literature/TheWorldOfIceAndFire'', we learn that the song makes specific references to the manner of their doom, from quoting Ellyn Reyne's BadassBoast (though attributing it to Rogert Reyne) and the fact that Tywin drowned their Underground Lair by rerouting a nearby lake- "now the rains weep o'er his hall" indeed.

-->''"And who are you, the proud lord said, that I must bow so low?"''

-->''"When Tarbeck Hall came crashing down on Lady Ellyn, that scheming bitch, Tyg claimed [Tywin] smiled then."''
