* RefusedTheCall: He behaves cowardly, merely staring guiltily down at his hands when Dunk asks him to fight for him in the trial of seven. In all fairness, he hardly knew Dunk and it wasn't likely to expect Lord Damon to risk his life for him.

%%* ThePatriarch

* OptOut: While he protected Aegon and Rhaena, he didn't give any martial support, and refused to leave Casterly Rock after the Prince was killed by his uncle in the Battle Beneath the God's Eye. It was only when Jaehaerys presented his claim that he did pledge his support. Considering his family barely avoided the same fate as House Gardener 40 years prior, it was rather justified he didn't want to face The Black Dread in open battle.

* UnfitForGreatness: In the higher echelons of Westerosian society (where underhanded politics and backstabbing is the norm), being a kind, but weak-willed man isn't going to go over well.

-->''"His lordship wants only to be loved. So he laughs, and takes no offense, and forgives, and bestows honors and offices on those who mock him and defy him, thinking thereby to win their loyalty. Yet the more he laughs and gives, the more they despise him."''
--->--'''Maester Beldon'''

Third son of Gerold Lannister and Rohanne Webber. Married to Jeyne Marbrand, with whom he had five children: Tywin, Kevan, Genna, Tygett and Gerion. Known under the mocking alias "The Toothless Lion", he was a kind but weak man that brought House Lannister to near ruin, as he loaned money to lords that never bothered to repay him and allowed his vassals to mock him at court or ignore his orders. The character is likely inspired by Henry III of England.

* {{Expy}}: His relationship and influences from his mistress after Jeyne's death sounds similar to Edward III and Alice Perrers.
