%%* Characters/AManOfIronTheLannistersOfCasterlyRockAndTheBaratheonsOfKingsLanding

[[/index]]

!The Lannisters of Casterly Rock and Baratheons of King's Landing

The two most powerful houses in the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. House Baratheon of King's Landing rules the lands, while House Lannister provides its wealth. The Kingdoms are ruled by Joffrey Baratheon (actually Waters, as he's a bastard posing as a true-born) and House Lannister is ruled by his grandfather, Tywin Lannister.
----
* Fiction500: Tywin and House Lannister pretty much fund their entire war effort.
* HatedByAll: Thanks to Joffrey's actions, they don't have ''any'' good standing with the rest of the Seven Kingdoms.

[[folder:Tyrion Lannister*]]
!!Tyrion Lannister, the Imp, the Little Lion
The dwarf son of Tywin Lannister. Tyrion is Tony's best friend. He longs to be seen for who he truly is and balances his hatred of his family's treatment of him with his desire for their love and respect.
----
* AccidentalInnuendo: Right after complaining about his lack of sex, he sends for Sam. He then has to clarify to a shocked and disgusted Bronn that it's for an entirely unrelated reason.
* AccidentalTruth: He nicknamed Jane Seaworth "the Stranger's Daughter" because she was really too handy with a knife for his ease of mind. [[spoiler:She secretly was the offspring of Loki Odinson, whom the Westerosi Faith saw as the Stranger.]]
* AdaptationalHeroism: Even compared with his show version which already had some extra heroism, this Tyrion seems a bit less self serving, and has a good deal more self respect compared with his other versions. Plus, his future is written to turn him into one of the great heroes of this world.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Towards Sam, whom he took as a MoralityPet. Since the boy is too much of a coward to protect himself, someone has to step up, right?
* BirdsOfAFeather: With Tony. In spite of their FeudingFamilies, both are snarky, lecherous and more intelligent than their own family give them credit for. In the end, it's this trait that makes Tywin give him more responsibility- if Tony is similar to Tyrion, and Tony is wildly successful, he may as well give Tyrion a chance to succeed.
* BodyHorror: During the Battle of the Blackwater, [[spoiler:his hands are horribly burned by wildfire]].
* CelibateHero: Forces himself to avoid sex so that he can focus on his duties as the Hand (and because Tywin threatened fairly harsh penalties if he didn't). He quickly gets frustrated with it.
* CompositeCharacter: After his hands are severely burned during the Battle of Blackwater, [[spoiler:he makes plans to travel to Essos to get them healed, setting him up to be this world's Doctor Strange. In Book 3, Catelyn dreams of him with bandaged hands, exotic clothes and a beard, wondering whether this is his dream or hers]].
* CoolUncle: He plainly adores his niece and youngest nephew, seeing them as everything good about his siblings and nothing of the bad. They easily return the favor.
* DamnedByFaintPraise: When he's called the most popular Lannister, he muses it's not that difficult to be the best turd in a pile of shit.
* DisabledInTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:If he's set to be this series' version of Doctor Strange, he qualifies, as Tyrion has dwarfism in addition to damaged hands, whereas canon Strange is a man of normal height.]]
* EntertaininglyWrong:
** He firmly persists in his denial when it comes about [[spoiler:Sansa springing back from the grave]] because the lady he was introduced to is just too different from the girl he remembers, leading him to conclude someone found a lowborn girl from suitable looks to dress and act the part. He later seems to accept that there is more to [[spoiler:"Sansa"]] than what he thought.
** He's convinced that Iron Man and Centurion are Brynden and Edmure Tully.
* GenerationXerox: Unbeknownst to everyone, he's this to Lann the Clever -- not only the man responsible for creating the Lannister family was very much a GuileHero, Lann was a ''dwarf''.
* LetsGetDangerous: After seeing how mutinous King's Landing is and [[spoiler: Joffrey showing "Sansa Stark" off]], Tyrion outright confronts the Small Council and Cersei and flat-out announces he's not going to let them continue to screw up. ''That'' is Tywin Lannister's son, guys.
* LovableSexManiac:
** He looks forwards to help Sam losing his virginity and is very eager to learn what kind of things two girls described as pleasuring to them.
** Once he gets to King's Landing, however, he has to restrict his own sexual misadventures in order to focus on his duties as Hand.
** It's mentioned in passing that this was one of the things Tony and he bonded over, at least until Tony married Pepper. They still have other interests in common, though.
* MyCountryRightOrWrong:
** He's obviously distressed when confronted to the possibility of inflicting the Castamere treatment to Iron Pointe - since Tony may be the only person not named Lannister to genuinely like him - yet he will stand with his family come hell or high water.
** This trope is especially evident in how he's trying to keep King's Landing from descending into chaos and ruin- one gets the impression that were it not his own family, he would have done a runner ''long'' ago from all the [[SurroundedByIdiots blatant stupidity surrounding him.]]
* OddFriendship: How Westeros considers his relationship with Tony - because they're [[FeudingFamilies a Lannister and a Stark]].
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: He verbally savaged Alliser Thorne for cruelly bullying Samwell Tarly while he was at the Wall.
* SurroundedByIdiots: He's outright ''appalled'' when he finally gets into King's Landing and see just how much his sister and the Small Council fucked the situation, [[spoiler:parading a "fake" Sansa]] being chief amongst his list of grievances.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Even Ned, who has every reason to want all the Lannisters dead, admits that Tyrion is the only decent one of the lot.
* WellDoneSonGuy: He ''knows'' his father will never love or take pride in his dwarf son, yet he yearns for his approval. When Tywin admits he may have been wrong to mistreat him, Tyrion is shocked.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Tywin Lannister*]]
!!Tywin Lannister, the Old Lion
The Lord of Casterly Rock. Tywin is the one that allowed Tony to take over Iron Pointe and believes him to be a loyal bannerman. He sees Iron Man's arrival as a game changer. Is frustrated by the stupidity of those around him.
----
* AdaptationalHeroism: He’s still not a good man, but he’s shown to have a more human side and treats Tyrion better than he did in canon. He also seems to have learned his lesson with the Mountain and now keeps his {{Sociopathic Soldier}}s on a tight leash.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Very, ''very'' downplayed, but it's there:
** Tywin is more willing to acknowledge Tyrion's talents and accomplishments. Compare him to his canon version, where he didn't question Cersei taking credit for Tyrion's actions that helped the defense of the city during the battle of Blackwater Bay.
** This Tywin also loses much of his NeverMyFault atittude his canon self had: He takes full responsibility for [[spoiler:Gregor Clegane's attack on Iron Pointe]] while in canon he claimed multiple times that he couldn't be held responsible for what his men did, and also admits that the reason his children are such a mess is because he lacked the ability to raise them properly without their mother, and maybe he should have asked for help.
* AgentScully: Every one of his theories on current events in Westeros is the most logical, sensible conclusion one could draw with the information he has. And because this is a Marvel crossover, every one of them is wrong.
* AscendedExtra: He ''was'' a major character in the original books yet was no point-of-view character. Here, he is.
* BadBoss: When one of his generals who has been up all night planning asks if he can get some sleep, Tywin coldly replied that the only reason he didn't have said general executed on the spot was because they were cousins.
* BreakTheHaughty:
** The War of Five Crowns starts with a series of bad news for the Lannisters. When Jaime is captured, he's reduced to diving for the wine.
** And when he receives Tyrion's messages about how bad Cersei and Joffrey have screwed up King's Landing, he has to send his war council out of his tent so he can wail on a training dummy until he can actually think without screaming. Made worse in that he's dealing with a rapidly changing situation, with the North being far more loyal to [[spoiler:King Eddard]], to the point that he doesn't think he could get the Boltons or the Freys to betray the Starks, having to deal with the Queen of Thorns potentially getting involved, as well as Stannis [[spoiler: and Jane Seaworth, who the smallfolk admire now that Thor has started calling her a queen]].
* BrutalHonesty: He straight out says that the cause of the war is Cersei's inability to control Joffrey. He also has no problem in shooting her down and pointing out her ''many'' shortcomings.
* TheDreaded: If you’re not afraid of him, you should be. Even [[StupidEvil Cersei]] isn’t willing to cross him.
* DrowningMySorrows: The changed circumstances which led to the War of Five Crowns drive him to this. Kevan and Tyrion almost freak out over it.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: As noted by Tyrion, regardless of how much Tywin despises his youngest son, he would never force Tyrion to renounce the family name under an implied death threat (unlike what Randyll Tarly did to Sam).
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Or perhaps, Career Politician Cannot Understand Anything Else. He's been playing the Game of Thrones for so long that he can't comprehend actions that are not plays in the game as anything other than foolishness. It even extends to some extent to actions that ''are'' moves in the game, but under a playbook different to the one he uses. One notable example is when he concludes that the person claiming to be [[spoiler:Jaime]] isn't an imposter due to [[spoiler:wanting to resume his position in the Kingsguard]], as Tywin thinks that any imposter [[spoiler:would want to inherit Casterly Rock (which being a Kingsguard would exclude him from)]]. He can't fathom the possibility that an impostor would want something other than wealth and power.
* GenreBlindness: Not a terrible example, but even after witnessing the first move of Iron Man, Tywin operates primarily under the assumption of a {{Realpolitik}} world of careful manipulation of people and good finances. He doesn't quite get that they're now in a Superhero political drama, and that some of the more outlandish tales or myths now around the realm shouldn't be discarded so casually.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Constantly reminds all Lannisters that they should be loyal to the House and family first but thinks that Jon and Natasha will gladly betray the Starks and the Martells on his orders. Tony lampshades this.
* {{Irony}}: He refuses to consider Tyrion a true Lannister for his appearance. ''A Shield of Man'' reveals [[FamousAncestor Lann the Clever]] himself was a dwarf.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Won't let Cersei buy a dozen black dresses so she can "properly" mourn [[spoiler:Jaime's "death"]]. As Tywin points out, [[spoiler:if she were to be shown mourning her brother's death with more intensity than her husband's, people will start wondering if the {{Twincest}} rumors are actually true.]]
* TheManBehindTheMan:
** His position of predilection, with Syrio pointing out to Arya that Tywin ruled Westeros in Aerys', then Robert's stead. He also would like to be this for a compliant Lord of Winterfell, as it would give him power over the North - Westeros' largest Kingdom.
** It is [[{{Deconstruction}} deconstructed]] in that, due to Robert's overall negligence, and then Joffrey and Cersei's stupidity and incompetence, Tywin himself has to do the job of the king in order to stop the realm from collapsing, on top of his existing duties as Warden of the West and Lord of the Rock. And competent as he is, Tywin is just one man and thus can't be everywhere at once. This is lampshaded when Tywin wonders how the realm would be if Ned Stark had taken the Throne instead of Robert: while Tywin would command much less power and influence, he wouldn't have to work overtime in order to keep the realm stable.
* ManipulativeBastard: But of course. Giving Iron Pointe to Antony Stark had three goals: to restore the West's coastal defense, to develop trade and business and to bring a Stark under his control.
* TheMourningAfter: He still looks at the other side of the bed when he wakes up - because his wife is supposed to be asleep there, [[TearJerker and maybe this time she will be]].
* NeverMyFault: Something he very much strives to avert. He acknowledges that Clegane's attack on Tony Stark is his fault in a roundabout way, is able to realize Tyrion's behavior was a result of him not being given a productive outlet, and he concedes Cersei's very poor impulse control would have been better handled by Johanna rather than a man who didn't understand his daughter.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Even he can fall for someone else's manipulations - [[spoiler:such as the Night's Queen's.]]
* ParentalNeglect: All obvious things aside, Tywin acknowledges that he had no idea how to raise a daughter. He might not like Tyrion, but he understood at least how to keep his sons happy and occupied.
* PetTheDog: He may be a cold, ruthless lord, but he's not heartless.
** He's able to appreciate loyalty and honesty, such as when he rewarded his squire by making him a lord for confessing he was supposed to spy on the Old Lion.
** He finally admits his ill treatment of Tyrion may have been a mistake and gives him a chance to prove himself, promising his youngest he will reward him for doing well. After the Battle of Blackwater, he makes good on this and, while he doesn't make him heir to Casterly Rock, he does grant him Tarbeck Hall as his lands.
** After Tyrion sustains severe wounds defending King's Landing from Stannis's forces, he shows legitimate concern for his least-favorite son and orders that he be rushed to Pycelle for medical treatment.
** One of his first passages describes the hope he feels every morning when he looks to the other side of the bed and wishes to see his wife there... even though she died long ago.
** When Joffrey is sent away from a Small Council meeting by Tywin to practice with his crossbow, the former gloats about how he will torment Tommen by using cats as target practice. Tywin's response is to ensure that doesn't happen by ordering a guard to keep Tommen away from Joffrey and make sure no animals are slaughtered by Joffrey on pain of death for Tommen's sake.
* PragmaticVillainy: The trope could be renamed The Tywin, since he's so well-versed in his application.
* ProperlyParanoid: When [[spoiler:Jaime]] shows up at Harrenhal, he initially believes he might be an impostor, given that he just got Tyrion's letter about [[spoiler:the allegedly fake Sansa]]. Turns out to be completely right, even if he dismisses his initial assumption.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: The fact that Tyrion leaves Westeros shortly after the battle of Blackwater Bay means that the events that led to his canonical death at Tyrion's hands won't happen.
* SurroundedByIdiots: His bannermen often kiss up to him, hoping it would flatter him. It only makes him daydream about killing them all.
** When he learns how Jaime assaulted Ned Stark in a street, he rages he ''has'' to be cursed, there's no other reason for his children's utter stupidity. Brought up again in Chapter 12 of Book 2, where he notes that [[spoiler:Jaime can't be an impostor]], as only his own blood could be so stupid. [[spoiler:Though in this case, he's wrong. Jaime is actually Mystique]].
** At the same time, some of the time he treats sensible suggestions as if they were stupid, such as in Chapter 22 of ''A Crack of Thunder'', where he orders a commander to return home for having the gall to suggest that maybe letting them get some sleep after having ''worked through the night'' would be a good idea. Made even more obvious by the fact that the commander only suggested it because ''he was too tired to realize it was a bad idea to say it'' until after he said it.
** When he finally meets Cersei in Chapter 50 of Book 2, he clearly has little patience for her, her antics and her idiocy, which cost their side too much.
* VillainRespect: He praises Tony's business acumen, even considering him a bit of a WorthyOpponent.
** He also respects Ned, viewing him as being a dedicated ruler, knowing that he's the sort of man needed to lead the North. He also somewhat wishes that Ned had taken the throne, knowing that, while Ned would have made it harder for Tywin to get what he wanted, Ned would have done a far better job at running the kingdom than Robert, meaning Tywin wouldn't have to spend so much time keeping the kingdom from collapsing.
** One of his aides, on his first day, admitted that the aide was pushed into taking this position by his father and was ordered to ingratiate himself to Tywin for the purpose of attaining blackmail. Tywin had the aide's father killed and made the boy head of his house, out of respect for his honesty and to secure the boy's loyalty.
* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: While he can feel love, it's almost never directed at Tyrion due to how much he hates his youngest son, so he finds the feeling of not being disappointed in him to be quite odd.
* WhyAreYouNotMySon: He bitterly compares Jon Stark ([[spoiler:whom he accurately pegged as Rhaegar's child]]) and his quiet competence to his daughter Cersei and grandson Joffrey's loud bluster and idiocy, musing that a man like the former bastard on the Iron Throne would have ushered a new era for Westeros, and said man would have been his grandson without Aerys' pettiness.
* WouldHurtAChild:
** No qualms whatsoever about using [[IHaveYourWife Jon Snow - who's only a teen - as hostage against Ned Stark]]. And in the past, he also commanded the Targaryen babes' gruesome murder.
** He also casually orders one of his soldiers to murder one of Varys' 'little birds' that he knows was watching him to let the Spider know ''no one'' spies on him.
* YouHaveFailedMe: Routinely practices a non-lethal version. He dismisses various kinsmen and vassals from his councils at such a rapid pace that Arya internally notes that she barely has an opportunity to learn most of their names before they do something to displease him and get sent away.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Joffrey Baratheon]]
!!Joffrey Baratheon/Waters
Lord of the Seven Kingdoms in King's Landing. The product of his mother sleeping with her brother Jaime. Believes that his title grants him the right to demand all that he wants.
----
* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: [[BeyondTheImpossible Even worse than canon]]. Killing a young girl in front of her father ''and the population of King's Landing'' tends to ruin your PR. An outright hero like Iron Man saying he is unfit for being a king only worsens things for him.
* AuthorityInNameOnly: Similar to canon, his list of titles may include "Lord of the Seven Kingdoms", but he has no way to exert his authority over the North and the Riverlands after they split from the Seven Kingdoms to form an independent nation. This is lampshaded on a letter sent by Ned Stark after becoming King in the North, where he refers to Joffrey's domains as "The Five Kingdoms".
* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: He vocalizes plans to use Tommen's kittens for target practice. Tywin doesn't let him.
* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Averted. Iron Man's blast takes his earlobe and heavily scars his face.
* BlackAndWhiteInsanity: He divides humanity into two groups: the loyal servants of the crown, who indulge his psychotic whims, and traitors, who do not. Tyrion has to walk him through the concept of people having a ''reason'' to turn against him step-by-step before he can understand the notion at a level more complex than "he betrayed me because he was a traitor, and that is what traitors do."
* BringMyBrownPants: Pissed himself when Sandor Clegane gave him his best DeathGlare.
* DirtyCoward: That he is. He refuses to fight the Iron Man himself, sending the Kingsguard ahead, and uses Sansa as a HumanShield to protect himself from Iron Man's magic blasts when the Kingsguard easily falls to him.
** Tyrion said it best: the Mad King had the guts to beat his wife himself. Joffrey sends his Kingsguard for it.
** Despite all his boasting of his martial prowess, he never once rides to war himself, and [[spoiler:when war finally comes at the Battle of the Blackwater, he's the first to break and run]].
* DumbBlonde: He's an extremely short-sighted moron who has a flimsy understanding of how things really work. Even Tyrion slowly explaining things to him just goes through one ear and out the other.
* EvilIsPetty: He ruined Shireen's brand-new doll with a knife because he didn't want to visit Dragonstone.
* GodEmperor: While he doesn't go as far as to claim to be a god, he certainly acts like one, thinking that everybody must obey his every command without question, love him unconditionally, and that his actions have no negative consequences. He's both confused and angry when Tyrion points out that no, being king doesn't mean that you can do anything you want, and cites Aerys the Mad as a prime example of how such kings meet their ends.
* TheLoad: Played with. In terms of actually ruling, he mostly lets his Hand do the work. The reason he is TheMillstone and not this is because [[ZeroPercentApprovalRating him being King makes it very hard for the Lannisters to find allies.]]
* TheMillstone: Varys downright states that all he does is getting in the way of the people who are ''actually'' trying to rule the realm, and Tywin is forced to agree that having Joffrey killed off and replaced by Tommen may not solve all their problems but it wouldn't create any new ones.
* NeverMyFault: Yes, Joffrey, Sansa Stark's death is ''very'' much your fault.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: By killing sweet, innocent Sansa right in front of her father Ned ''and the people of King's Landing'', he ensured that (a) the Starks won't stop before [[KillThemAll the Lannisters, most especially Joffrey himself, are very, very dead]], (b) [[ZeroPercentApprovalRating his popularity plummets lower than zero]] and (c) the North is now united to avenge their martyred daughter. Really well played, you idiot.
** And that is ignoring the fact that killing Sansa gave [[spoiler:the Night's Queen, one of the series' {{Big Bad}}s, a body to take over in the heart of King's Landing.]]
* RoyalBrat: '''Oooh boy'''. His reaction when something doesn't go his way? Throwing a screaming tantrum because he's the King and everyone should bow to his whims.
* {{Sadist}}: He has some sort of irrational impulse to cause unneeded cruelty, to the point where you could give him the easy and safe way to solve all his problems... and he'll just go with the hard way because it gives him more excuses to cause pain and suffering for his own amusement.
* StupidEvil: Basically the only reason his sadism and stupidity hasn’t gotten House Lannister killed already is because Tyrion won’t let him. See TooDumbToLive below.
* TooDumbToLive: The only reasons he has yet to bite the dust is because of other people's competence, and that his death would cause far more problems than it would solve.
* WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong: Tywin mentions that he has sent several knights to chase after fairy tales [[spoiler:like hiring The Hand to be his new Kingsguard, sent a northern traitor to find the Norn Stones, a group of knights (led by Ser Adrian of the Tombs) to find Meraxes' bones, Qyburn to find Maegor the Cruel's PowerArmor, and to find a magical stone that turns anyone into an unstoppable ''Juggernaut!'']] Any of those fairy tales could backfire horribly if they turn out to be true. [[spoiler:So far, two of these have struck true - Ser Adrian of the Tombs has found the Vulture King's magical wings, and Qyburn has found Maegor's armor.]]
* WouldHurtAChild:
** Was responsible for Sansa's DeathByFallingOver because he tried to use her as a HumanShield against the Iron Man's magic blasts.
** The fact that everyone believed Jane Seaworth when she lied about him wanting to cut Shireen's eyes out is very telling.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Cersei Lannister*]]
!!Cersei Lannister
Queen of the Seven Kingdoms. She so unhappy being married to Robert Baratheon she cheated on him with her own twin brother and arranged for his death. Even amongst her family, she is unpopular (with the exception of Jaime).
----
* AccompliceByInaction: She tried to defend herself by protesting she did nothing when Tyrion violently calls her out on the court royally messing up. Unfortunately, doing nothing ''was'' the problem: she did nothing to curb Joffrey's cruelty or working towards a peaceful resolution of the CivilWar.
* TheAlcoholic: If she wasn't one already, she's definitely become this by Book 3, where she's constantly shown drinking.
* AllTakeAndNoGive: According to both Tywin and Tyrion, Cersei inspires so little loyalty because she thinks that, since she's royalty and a member of a very wealthy House, people are supposed to carry out her every whim, including risking their lives for her, and expect nothing in return.
* AnArmAndALeg: Loses her left hand when she pushes Joffrey out of the Iron Man's blast.
* BigBadWannabe: Her POV shows how Cersei truly believes she's the most skilled player in the Game and expertly manipulating everyone to gather more power. To everyone else (especially her father), she's a vain and foolish woman whose "manipulations" are so clumsy, Littlefinger and Varys are cleary fighting not to openly laugh at her.
* BlasphemousBoast: She boasts that she is fairer than the Maiden, raised children better than the Mother, and is wiser than the Crone.
* BrotherSisterIncest: She and her twin Jaime are lovers just as they are in the books.
* CassandraTruth: When she says that [[spoiler:Sansa Stark came back from the grave]], she's perfectly sincere (and correct, to a degree). Unfortunately, facts, logic and her long string of stupidity are against her.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint:
** When Tywin sarcastically mentions that he might as well let her keep her clothes budget so she can buy herself new clothes for her weight gain, she doesn't say anything because she really wants to have new clothes.
** Qyburn tells her of the dangers that can result from in-breeding, with a passing mention of how Tywin married his first cousin. Cersei assumes he must be talking of Tyrion, not her or any of her perfect children.
%% * CompositeCharacter: [[spoiler:Appears to have become one with Psylocke.]]
* DisappointedInYou: Tywin tells her that he and her mother had high hopes for her, but that she's ruined them all with her actions.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: As much as she loves Joffrey and coddles him and overlooks his brashness, impulsiveness and flaws, even she is disgusted by his desire to slaughter cats and torment Tommen.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: She is unable to see that Joffrey is a terrible individual, much less a terrible king.
* {{Hypocrite}}:
** For all her complaints about Robert's vices, it doesn't take her long in adopting the exact same vices (alcoholism, gorging herself on food, being completely lazy... and the only reason she isn't sleeping around is because she doesn't have the chance).
** Also, she despises Robert for never getting over Lyanna to love her when they got married, even as she quickly gave up any attempt to love him after their wedding night and went back to secretly screwing Jaime.
* HypocriteHasAPoint: She thinks that Petyr Baelish is a vain creature who isn’t nearly as clever as he thinks he is. Irony aside, she’s correct.
* IRejectYourReality:
** Oh very much so. When Tywin rightly puts Joffrey in his place as a fool, all Cersei sees is her son "Showing the strength of a king" and actually thinking "he gets that from me."
** She also refuses to accept she's gaining weight from constant eating and drinking and it ''must'' be the material making her dresses so much tighter...
** Blames small goblets and inefficient servants not providing her enough at a time for why she keeps going through wine so quickly.
* MamaBear:
** Pushing [[TheCaligula her son]] to save his life from a very angry MagicKnight. A shame she was successful.
** Discussed and deconstructed by Varys and Tyrion: she only cares for her children if they bring her closer to power (Joffrey) or if someone tries to remove them from her side (Myrcella). Otherwise she's content to ignore them. They muse how while Lysa Arryn coddles Robin endlessly as least she pays attention of her son other than ignore him until someone shows interest in them like Cersei.
* TheMillstone: Tyrion and Tywin don't let her make a single decision, because if they did it would only [[NiceJobFixingItVillain destroy their efforts to keep House Lannister afloat.]]
* NeverMyFault: Immediately defends herself from Tyrion's accusations with the retort: "I did nothing!" Tyrion is not appeased because doing nothing ''was'' the problem.
* NotMeThisTime:
** Tyrion believes her when she swears [[spoiler:the "fake" Sansa]] wasn't her idea, since ''this'' blending of idiocy and cunning is not her style.
** Cat also believes that it wasn't her idea, since, for all her flaws, Cersei is a mother, and [[EvenEvilHasStandards even she]] would not be so cruel as to use a mother's grief against her.
* RedRightHand: After losing her left hand, she commissions a diamond-encrusted golden prosthesis. Tyrion finds it outright gaudy. [[spoiler:After Stannis' attack on the city, she uses it to hide the energy blade she got when she mutated.]]
* SmugSnake: Her own father considers her more smug than brilliant. Her POV shows that she genuinely believes she's the most cunning manipulator around, even as it's blatant to the reader that she's blinded by her own hubris and self-important delusions.
* SpoiledBrat: She thinks she can ''command'' Tywin - her own father - as if he were an unruly dog. He's unimpressed and constantly reminds her of her place, but it never seems to stick.
* SurroundedByIdiots: She ''thinks'' she's this. Unfortunately, the biggest idiots are herself and her son.
* TheUnFavourite: She's become this to Tywin, who makes his disappointment in her and contempt for her actions very clear. When Cersei accuses him of now favouring Tyrion, Tywin responds that while he'll never do so, at least Tyrion proved himself useful, unlike her.
* YouAreWhatYouHate: As Tywin points out, for all that she hated Robert for his vices, she's indulged in all of them herself.

[[folder:Jaime Lannister*]]
!!Ser Jaime Lannister, the Kingslayer
A member of the Kingsguard since the time of Aerys II. Tywin's elder son, Cersei's twin and Tyrion's older brother. He is also the biological father of Joffrey, Myrcella, and Tommen.
----
* AbledInTheAdaptation: Since the chain of events that led to him clashing with the Brave Companions never happen, Jaime never loses his right hand.
* BoringYetPractical: When asked what he'd ever ask Tony to make him, he settles for a simple sword, stating that he's such a great swordsman already he doesn't need something else to work with, least of all something he doesn't understand how to use. Even Tony admits to his logic, even if he finds it boring.
* BreakTheHaughty: When he learns that his father and sister are willing to let him die (unaware that they think he's an impostor).
* BrotherSisterIncest: He and his twin, Cersei are sleeping together as they did in the books.
* ButtMonkey: He's outmanoeuvered by Robb and taken hostage by the Northern forces. When Ned visits him, Jaime tries to anger him into losing control but fails, while Ned reveals that Cersei hasn't been faithful to Jaime. Then [[spoiler: Mystique impersonates him and infiltrates Casterly Rock, causing Tyrion to think that the Jaime with the Northern forces is an impostor and hence to send a message saying they can do whatever they want to him]]. The only reason he hasn't been executed is because the Starks are quite confused by the Lannisters' response, with Cersei suggesting they cut his throat (not realising that [[spoiler: he's the real Jaime]]), and reports that Jaime has made it back to Tywin's camp. This culminates with him being forced to [[spoiler:join Bran's group and go North of the Wall with them]].
* DeathFakedForYou: [[spoiler: After Mystique is done impersonating him, she allows the other Lannisters to believe he was killed during Hoat's rebellion at Harrenhal.]]
* FatalFlaw: According to Tyrion, his shortsightedness, which drives him to try to solve every problem himself instead of taking a step back and look at the bigger picture. Tyrion thinks that, should Jaime be the Lord of Casterly Rock and the Ironborn attacked it, Jaime would board a ship and try to stop the attack himself, instead of, you know, calling the bannermen. This might be the reason as for why Robb was able to lure Jaime to an ambush that ended with the latter's capture.
* HopeCrusher: He's responsible for pushing Bran out the window and crippling him, effectively ruining his dreams of becoming a knight.
* SkepticNoLonger: He initially didn't believe any of the rumors of Iron Man, Thor, She-Hulk, and greenseers (understandable since he's never encountered them before). When Jojen showcases his greenseer abilities by proving that he knows the secret of why Jaime killed the Mad King, he's more willing to go along with the world's newfound strangeness. Even then, however, he seems determined to refuse to believe in magic.

[[folder:Samwell Tarly]]
!!Samwell Tarly
The cowardly and overweight son of Randyll Tarly and currently Tyrion Lannister's first squire.
----
* AbusiveParents: His father outright threatened him with a hunting "accident" if he didn't take the Black. When confronted to the possibility to come home, Samwell would unambiguously rather stay with Tyrion.
* BlackComedyRape: Bronn jokingly declares a raging mob is likely to use him as a "big, squishy woman". Later, an AccidentalInnuendo from Tyrion leads the sellsword to believe the dwarf wants to sleep with the youth. Sam seems to be quite the DudeMagnet, here...
* CovertPervert: Accidentally eavesdropped on two highborn girls discussing about how they pleasured themselves and very much enjoyed it.
* CowardlyLion: He ''can'' fight, he'd just much prefer not to.
* HiddenDepths: He pegs [[spoiler:the Night's Queen]] as either a twisted and wicked fake or, worse, as something that is using [[spoiler:Sansa]]'s body.
* LikeASonToMe: As Tyrion has resigned himself to never be a father, Samwell will do as a substitute.
* MoralityPet: The Stark party is quite surprised to find such an innocent soul travelling with the Imp.
* ThoseTwoGuys: Begins hanging out with Podrick as both are squires to Tyrion.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Sweet, kind, cowardly Sam is one of the nicest people in Westeros who just so happens to be working for the Lannisters. To the point that when Lady Stark accuses Samwell of being an assassin, Clynt and Bronn laugh so hard at that that she takes it back.
** He's this among Tyrion's companions, as the other three are Tyrion (possibly one of the most prolific sexual deviants in Westeros) and two sellswords who would have no qualm about letting Tyrion or Samwell die if things turned against them.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Podrick Payne]]
!!Podrick "Pod" Payne
Tyrion's other squire, appointed to him by his father.
----
* BigDamnHeroes: Saves Tyrion during the Battle of the Blackwater, [[spoiler: fighting off the wight trying to kill him]].
* ThoseTwoGuys: Falls into this dynamic with Sam after they both become Tyrion's squires.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Tyrion, to the point of standing up to ''Tywin'' for him. The latter is noticeably impressed by this display.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Clynt]]
!!Clynt Barton
A sellsword hired by Tyrion along with his partner Bronn, Clynt tends to be the more moral of the two.
----
* TheArcher: The very best in Westeros. He ''is'' Hawkeye, don't you forget it.
* CombatPragmatist: He's not above kicking someone [[GroinAttack in the groin]] to incapacitate them.
** Or just shooting them with an arrow from across the ring in a trial by combat.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: He was wrongly accused of some crime because a lord wanted to cover his bannerman's son, the true culprit. It let him a little bit cynical and now he gets unhappy when people are made into scapegoats, making him sympathetic for Tyrion's plight.
* GroinAttack: Delivers one to Boros Blount, and follows up by sticking a drawn arrow in his mouth to shut him up.
* GuileHero: Surprisingly savvy for a sellsword, he implies it was a result of HadToBeSharp.
* HandicappedBadass: Natasha reveals that he's partly deaf in one ear.
* HiddenDepths: He's got a few of them, as unknown to most, he's [[spoiler:secretly a member of the Council, in charge of keeping an eye on the Lannisters and King's Landing.]]
** He sings quite well when you put a guitar in his hands.
* MyNaymeIs: Cl'''y'''nt.
* NonIndicativeName: As Tyrion notes, he's a sellsword who doesn't have a sword.
* NoodleIncident: The "Yi Ti Incident" that caused his partial deafness.
* PunchClockVillain: A sellsword's entire deal is killing people for money. Clynt and Bronn are very upfront about it.
* PurpleIsPowerful: A skilled archer very fond of purple jackets, similar to his comic counterpart's signature outfit.
* SpottingTheThread: When Tyrion explains he's suspected of ordering Bran's murder, Clynt asks him when he sent a message for the catspaw to come at Winterfell. The dwarf immediately realizes he never had the opportunity to use a raven, giving him an alibi.
%%* ThoseTwoGuys: Has vibes of this with Bronn.
* TrueCompanions:
** With Bronn, to the point Clynt chooses not to go along on Tyrion's quest in Essos because he knows Bronn wouldn't join in, and he couldn't leave him behind.
** He and Natasha have a bond as well.
* WithFriendsLikeThese: Acknowledges he and Bronn would help a bloodthirsty mob to tear their employer Tyrion limb by limb if they have to. Money is nice, living is even better.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Bronn]]
!!Bronn
Clynt's partner, and the more cynical and pragmatic of the two.
----
* AwesomeByAnalysis: According to himself, at least. He claims that the reason he got to live for so long without any major injury despite his risky line of work is thanks to his ability to read a situation.
-->'''Tyrion''': I assume that's why you sided with me at the Vale?
-->'''Bronn''': Could smell it on the air that Lady Stark had fucked it all up and you were the one to bet on.
* DeadpanSnarker: As in canon, this is his default personality.
* EveryoneHasStandards: He seems horrified when Tyrion's AccidentalInnuendo makes him think he wants Sam for getting laid.
* HiddenDepths: Immediately pegs the [[spoiler:Night Queen]] as both dangerous and, most importantly, ''not human'', implying he may have some experience with the supernatural.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: As a sellsword, this is the only reason for his loyalty to Tyrion. And it makes it clear even that has its limits.
* PunchClockVillain: Doesn't give a damn about his employer's goals so long as he gets paid.
* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: He promises he would not join the action if a mob tried to use Sam as a big, squishy woman - even if he wouldn't stop them - and his reaction when Tyrion drops his AccidentalInnuendo is nothing short of disgust.
%%* ThoseTwoGuys: With Clynt.
* TrueCompanions: With Clynt, to the point Clynt chooses not to go along on Tyrion's quest in Essos because he knows Bronn wouldn't join in, and he couldn't leave him behind.
* WithFriendsLikeThese: Like Clynt, he makes it clear he'll throw Tyrion to the wolves to save his own skin. He also intentionally makes Sam uneasy by joking that the same mob that would kill Tyrion would probably rape him - [[FalseReassurance but he would not join in on that action]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Gregor Clegane*]]
!!Ser Gregor Clegane, the Mountain That Rides, The Iron Monger
The most feared knight in the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. and responsible for some of the worst crimes in the realm. This has made him a target for Iron Man.
----
* ArcVillain: Towards Tony Stark, and then both Tony and Jon, during ''A Man of Iron''.
* AssholeVictim: Nobody really feels sorry for him after he is killed by Iron Man.
* AtLeastIAdmitIt: Like his brother Sandor in the source material, he has no illusions about being a knight: he's supposed to be a paid killer, and he enjoys it very much.
* AxCrazy: Do we ''really'' need to add details?
* BloodKnight: Subverted. It's ''killing'' which brings him joy. His intended victims fighting back and making it harder only pisses him off more.
* CompositeCharacter: He takes Iron Monger's role over Obadiah Stane - whom he kills when kidnapping Pepper.
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: In canon, he dies from the slow acting poison from Oberyn's spear. Here, he's blown up to bits by a combination of silver and sunstones during his final fight against Iron Man. However, it should be noted that his death mimics the way Obadiah Stane died in ''Film/IronMan1''.
* DumbassHasAPoint: He firmly believes the Iron Man is Antony Stark, but has no evidence except for his gut instinct. He also perfectly pegs Joffrey as a remorseless killer who ''will'' kill Ned only because he ''can''.
* GrievousHarmWithABody: Apparently a fondness of him. He threw his own (dead) squire at the Iron Man when they first clashed. When fighting Centurion, he also threatens to beat him to death with Pepper's corpse.
* HateSink: To leave no room for doubt of what a monster he is, we are given a few chapters from his perspective, and they are disturbing. [[spoiler:Specifically, after he attacks Antony and kidnaps Pepper for his rematch with the Iron Man, he's well aware that he's officially burning any bridges he has with Tywin Lannister and will probably be the most wanted man in all of Westeros. He doesn't care. He'll kill the Iron Man, rape Pepper to death, burn Iron Pointe and its residents to ash, murder anyone Tywin sends to kill him, escape to Essos and steal the command of a sellsword company, cut a swath of destruction across the country, and maybe return to Westeros to take the Iron Throne for himself while decorating all of its sword-points with the gouged-out eyes of his enemies.]] Truly an irredeemable villain that nobody mourns the death of.
* HeManWomanHater: Quite enjoys raping some poor girl to death and his point-of-view chapter is constantly calling Pepper the "Stark slut". That said, he's not really shown giving anyone ''else'' respect either, so it's more of a case of HatesEveryoneEqually.
* TheHeavy: Is the most prominent and active antagonist in Book I.
* IHaveYourWife: He wants his rematch with Iron Man ''so bad'' he abducts Pepper and commands Tony to send the knight fight him if he doesn't want Pepper raped until ''she split into halves''.
* TheJuggernaut: Dude just won't fall dead. For the record, the Iron Monger suit is ''not'' PowerArmor. He's really ''that'' strong on his own.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Iron Man blows off the right half of his face before taunting him that ''now'' he and Sandor are a matching set. He doesn't live very long after that but ''Gods'' was it cathartic.
* LudicrousGibs: After falling into a pit full of sunstones and silver, he suffers multiples laser-beams and finally dies when a sunstone outright blows his chest.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: His attack on Iron Pointe benefited Tony, since Tywin Lannister was forced to explain his bannerman's behavior and made amends by releasing Tony's men from the Westerlands host and naming their Lord Acting Warden of the West.
* TheSociopath: As per canon, Gregor is a murderous psychopath who kills and rapes his victims. He has ''zero'' empathy for anyone, including his brother and commits horrible atrocities just for fun.
* SoreLoser: After two defeats against Iron Man, he becomes obsessed with beating him.
* SuperStrength: So much so that he was inarguably the strongest warrior in Westeros until Thor and She-Hulk showed up in the next book.
* TooDumbToLive: Yes, Gregor, disobeying a direct order from Tywin Lannister [[SarcasmMode is a great idea! There’s no way it could possibly backfire!]] Even if Iron Man hadn’t killed him, Tywin most likely would have.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Sandor Clegane*]]
!!Sandor Clegane, The Hound
Gregor's scarred younger brother, whose fate changes drastically at the end of the first book.
----
* CainAndAbel: The Abel to Gregor's Cain, he's wanted to ''kill'' his brother ever since they were kids. He actually grouses about the Iron Man stealing his kill, but wouldn't be opposed to congratulating the MagicKnight.
* DeathGlare: Gives Joffrey a murderous one when he attempts to deny him watching over Sansa's body. It's so fierce that the little bastard relents and [[BringMyBrownPants pisses himself]].
* DrowningMySorrows: Downs wine as he watches over [[spoiler:Sansa's body]]. Knights aren't suppose to drink when fasting, but Sandor doesn't give a crap (and technically doesn't consider himself a knight, just a man with expensive wargear) and gets drunk.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Even ''he'' finds Littlefinger disgusting, stating that he's sure that when he reaches whatever afterlife there is, at least he'll be able to say he's better than the "whoremonger".
* HatesEveryoneEqually: Apparently, the moment you complain about anything, he hates you. He also hates anyone he thinks is an hypocrite. The only person he does not hate is Sansa [[spoiler:(or, rather, the Night's Queen)]] (even though, ironically, she's complained about quite a few things in front of him).
* IOweYouMyLife: Pledges his loyalty to [[spoiler:the Night's Queen when she heals his face by removing the burn scars]].
* KickTheDog: Calls Jon a bastard in his first scene in the story.
* LadyAndKnight: The loyal Knight to the [[spoiler:Night's Queen, Sansa Stark]].
* OhCrap: His reaction when he sees [[spoiler:Sansa come back to life]].
* SlowlySlippingIntoEvil: His swearing to serve the [[spoiler:Night's Queen]] is slowly making his body temperature drop - possibly [[spoiler:turning him into an Other.]]
** Based on the descriptions of the Others described by Fury in Chapter 52, [[spoiler:he has likely become a Thrall, a part-Other part-human hybrid who has become loyal to the Others]].
* UndyingLoyalty: [[spoiler:When the Night's Queen wipes away his burn scars]], he swears himself to serve and defend her.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Ulysses Klaue]]
!!Ulysses Klaue
A master blacksmith from Essos who has traveled across the known world and knows many of the strangest metals around.
----
* ArtificialLimbs: His claw arm.
* {{Foil}}: To Tony Stark. Both of them are {{Ultimate Blacksmith}}s working for the Lannisters, but while Tony is a genuinely heroic man who wants to help the people (post-CharacterDevelopment at least) and treats his subordinates with friendliness, Klaue only cares about himself and is often seen threatening his men.
* RedRightHand: He lost his left hand at some point, and replaced it with something similar to a crab's claw, but with four pincers instead of two and a strange tube sticking out. No Westerosi is likely to realize it's an ArmCannon.
* UltimateBlacksmith:
** He knows a lot of metals and blacksmithing. He can work Valyrian steel, turn it into "Blood Valyrian" (aka Adamantium) and has even seen Vibranium mines (possibly in Wakanda).
** He may even know more about metal than Tony, since Tony seems to think of the various colored irons found in the mines of Iron Pointe as simply being strangely colored but otherwise normal iron, but Klaue notes that metal ''does not work that way'', that there is something special about it. There's also currently no evidence that Tony knows about Blood Valyrian or how to make it.
* UltimateJobSecurity: Can get away with being annoying or downright disrespectful to Tywin due to being the best blacksmith they currently have access to.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Qyburn]]
!!Qyburn
A former maester expelled from the Citadel for his sinister experiments, which gave him eternal life but left him disfigured, who enters Cersei's service.
----
* AdmiringTheAbomination: Shows a worrying amount of respect and admiration for Maegor the Cruel, and claims that his reputation is the result of lies spread by his enemies.
* AgeLift: While his canon age is never specified, the books state that he's younger than Pycelle. Here, he claims to be older than Duncan the Tall, which easily puts him in the triple digits.
* AlbinosAreFreaks: Was left with chalk white skin as a result of his experiments.
* BeenThereShapedHistory: All but outright states that he engineered [[spoiler: Robert's Rebellion and Jon's birth]].
%% * CompositeCharacter: Qyburn has been merged with Mr. Sinister.
* TheDreaded: He's so feared for his experimentations that he's become a boogeyman in Westeros, with children told scary stories of how he'll come for them if they misbehave. Finding out as adults that he's very real is quite alarming for Varys, Natasha, and Clynt.
* EvilutionaryBiologist: His main focus is on manipulating bloodlines for the best results.
* RamblingOldManMonologue: He's prone to rambling, much to Cersei's irritation. He chalks it to still being an old man despite being immortal.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: While he hasn't given an exact age, he claims he was already old when Duncan the Tall was a baby.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Another side effect of his experiments.
[[/folder]]

----

* MyCountryRightOrWrong: He's obviously distressed when confronted to the possibility of inflicting the Castamere treatment to Iron Pointe - since Tony may be the only person not named Lannister to genuinely like him - yet he will stand with his family come hell or high water.

* CompositeCharacter: [[spoiler:Appears to have become one with Psylocke.]]

* BreakTheHaughty: The War of Five Crowns starts with a series of bad news for the Lannisters. When Jaime is captured, he's reduced to diving for the wine.

* TheManBehindTheMan: His position of predilection, with Syrio pointing out to Arya that Tywin ruled Westeros in Aerys', then Robert's stead. He also would like to be this for a compliant Lord of Winterfell, as it would give him power over the North - Westeros' largest Kingdom.

** When he learns how Jaime assaulted Ned Stark in a street, he rages he ''has'' to be cursed, there's no other reason for his children's utter stupidity.
*** Brought up again in Chapter 12 of Book 2, where he notes that [[spoiler:Jaime can't be an impostor]], as only his own blood could be so stupid. [[spoiler:Though in this case, he's wrong. Jaime is actually Mystique]].
** Chapter 12 also demonstrates his reaction to learning how stupidly the Small Council has been behaving.

* WouldHurtAChild: No qualms whatsoever about using [[IHaveYourWife Jon Snow - who's only a teen - as hostage against Ned Stark]]. And in the past, he also commanded the Targaryen babes' gruesome murder.

* WrongGenreSavvy: He's perfectly sure about Tony's UndyingLoyalty to him. He also views Jon's adoption and legitimization as a possible way to control the youth - after all, a former bastard can easily be persuaded to turn against the family he never truly belonged to, right?
** He also thinks that the rumors of one of the Seven falling from the skies and declaring Jane Seaworth queen is a lie being spread by Stannis. He thinks ''[[BrutalHonesty Stannis Baratheon]]'' is spreading a lie.

* WouldHurtAChild: Was responsible for Sansa's DeathByFallingOver because he tried to use her as a HumanShield against the Iron Man's magic blasts.

* BrotherSisterIncest: As in the books.
