!Queen Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey)
[[quoteright:217:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Lannister-Cersie-001_4703.png]]
->''"When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die. There is no middle ground."''
Twin sister of Jaime and older sister of Tyrion. Queen of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros by marriage.
!!Tropes:
* AnalogyBackfire: When Ned confronts her on her incestuous relationship with Jaime she responds that the Targaryens did the same thing for centuries. The same Targaryens that produced the "Mad King" Aerys... even more of a backfire when Joffrey turns out to be more like Aerys than anyone thought.
* ArrangedMarriage: With Robert. She initially saw it as a PerfectlyArrangedMarriage up until Robert called her by his late betrothed's name on their wedding night.
* BlondesAreEvil
* DomesticAbuse
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She genuinely loves her twin brother and her children.
* EvilMatriarch
* FreudianExcuse: Her hatred for Robert stems from him using her as a ReplacementGoldfish for Lyanna.
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: She is ''not'' a pleasant person and is grooming Joffrey to follow in her footsteps. In "You Win or You Die," she fully metamorphoses into this trope when she orchestrates a HuntingAccident for Robert.
* HotMom
* InfantImmortality: Averted. She mentions to Catelyn and later discusses with Robert how their first child died shortly after birth due to a fever.
* KickTheDog: Convinces the king to have Sansa's wolf slain.
* KissingCousins: With Lancel.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: Apparently she used to have feelings for Robert when they married, but [[DomesticAbuse domestic abuse]] and Robert's love for Lyanna brutally changed that. Her relationship with Jaime doesn't seem to bring out the best of her either.
* MamaBear: She's ''furious'' when she hears about Arya and Joffrey's altercation, and she admits to going to the extremes when it concerns protecting her children.
* ManipulativeBitch
* NotSoDifferent: Not explicitly pointed out in-universe, but Cersei doesn't look quite so morally superior to her philandering husband when we find out that she doesn't love Jaime enough to not quite literally get in bed with Lancel when he's captured by the Starks. So much for their pure Targaryen-esque love.
* PetTheDog: She convinces Joffrey to do something nice for Sansa during "Lord Snow," referencing her own unhappy arranged marriage.
* PragmaticVillainy: Knows full well that a tame wolf is better than a dead one, so she plans to have Ned stripped of titles and lands and sent to the Night's Watch. Her plan fails when her son orders Ned's death. Arguably, there is an element of EvenEvilHasStandards here, albeit expresed in a cruel Ironic Echo- since Ned planned to exile her rather than allowing her and her children to be murdered, it is sort of "fair" to "only" plan to exile the Starks rather than killing them.
* {{Pride}}: A theme for the Lannisters. They all have a slightly different take on it.
-->'''Cersei''': He's attacked one of my brothers, and abducted the other. I should wear the armor, and you the gown.
-->'''Robert''': [hits her]
-->'''Cersei''': I shall wear this like a badge of honor.
* {{Twincest}}: With Jaime.
!Ser Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau)
[[quoteright:214:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Lannister-Jamie-001_608.png]]
->''"I'll kill the King, Ned Stark, the whole bloody lot of them until you and I are the only people left in this world."''
Twin brother of Cersei, and older brother of Tyrion. A member of the Kingsguard, and Lord Commander after the forced retirement of Ser Barristan.
!!Tropes:
* AffablyEvil: It's kind of hard to remember to hate the guy when he's joking with Tyrion or trading war stories with Jory Cassel. And then he brutally stabs the latter through the eye. Quite the turnaround to further remind the audience of the "evil" part.
* AntiVillain: Unlike in the novels, where he [[spoiler:seems like a CompleteMonster for the first two books until he gets a SympatheticPOV in the third]], the series is setting up some of his sympathetic traits earlier on and giving him more screen time. Case in point would be one scene so far that's been included in the series that wasn't shown in the book except as a flashback in ''A Storm of Swords''.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Toward Tyrion.
* BodyguardBetrayal: The source of his infamous nickname: Kingslayer.
* BloodKnight: Loves a good fight.
* BlondGuysAreEvil
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Why Ned doesn't trust him since he killed King Aerys even though he was supposed to protect the King.
* DeadpanSnarker: "Robert's off fucking boars and hunting whores, or is it the other way around?"
* TheDogBitesBack: It's been implied that his murder of Aerys was a case of this.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment:
** Not his first scene, but being able to shove a child out a window with only a flippant little comment about "The things I do for love" is a pretty big moment.
** Gets a second one in "The Kingsroad" while talking to Jon Snow.
* EstrogenBrigadeBait
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He and Cersei are clearly very much in love, and he's very protective of his brother Tyrion.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Knocks down a soldier who unceremoniously stabs Ned in the leg during his duel with the latter. When talking with his father in "You Win or You Die," he comments that this act made him spare Ned's life as killing him in this situation wouldn't be "clean." Tywin basically replies that standards are for pussies.
* HeroWithBadPublicity: He considers himself this.
* HotDad: He is the biological father of Joffrey, Tommen, and Myrcella.
* [[IHaveYourWife I Have Your Brother]]: Has been captured by the Starks, who plan to use him as a hostage against Cersei.
* KnightInShiningArmor: A literal knight in literally shining armor, he certainly ''looks'' the part. [[SubvertedTrope His actions, on the other hand...]]
* MasterSwordsman: Ironically, one of the few remaining knights of the Kingsguard who actually ''earned'' that position and ''isn't'' just a Lannister political appointee.
* MemeticBadass: In-universe; everyone knows he's an accomplished fighter.
-->'''Littlefinger:''' I bet on Ser Jaime in the jousting, as any sane man would...
* MoralEventHorizon: In-Universe, many people, including Ned Stark, consider his BodyguardBetrayal of Aerys to be this.
* InSeriesNickname: The Kingslayer. More or less ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin--he assassinated Aerys, the last Targaryen King, which put Robert on the throne. However, it also gave him a really bad reputation because he was a member of the [[PraetorianGuard Kingsguard]], who were supposed to ''defend'' the king with their lives. This has made the people see him as [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder a man who will quickly change his loyalty when it suits him]].
* KnightTemplarBigBrother: To a degree. He seems to be one of the few people who cares for Tyrion and reacts badly when Tyrion's safety is threatened. Cersei also mentions that if he would have killed Robert if he found out about the DomesticAbuse in "You Win or You Die."
* LoveMakesYouEvil: "The things I do for love," indeed.
* PetTheDog: Despite the clear animosity between them, he tells Ned that his father and brother were very brave and genuinely means it.
-->'''Jaime:''' He was very brave, your brother. And your father too. They didn't deserve to die like that.
* {{Pride}}:
-->'''Jaime:''' I could care less what anyone thinks of me.
-->'''Tywin:''' No, ''that's'' what you want people to think of you.
* {{Twincest}}: With Cersei.
* WorthyOpponent: He seems to regard Lord Eddard Stark as one, considering that Eddard's the only one who's been capable of matching him in a fight.
-->"''Brave man that Ned Stark, but terrible judgement.''" - Jaime on the man, after receiving a letter demanding that Tywin appear at Kings Landing to explain the actions of Gregor Clegane.
!Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage)
[[quoteright:208:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Lannister-Tyrion-001_8217.png]]
->''"My brother has his sword and I have my mind, and a mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone."''
The youngest Lannister sibling, brother of Jaime and Cersei. He has dwarfism.
!!Tropes:
* AbusiveParents: Tywin takes emotional abuse to new levels.
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: He is repeatedly described as horribly ugly in the books, while Peter Dinklage is quite attractive. His {{Mismatched Eyes}} have also been removed. On the other hand, he appears to have put on some years in the adaptation; Tyrion is the younger sibling of Jamie and Cersei but looks older than both (which is sensible, considering Dinklage is in his forties). His facial deformity in the books probably translates to looking older than his years onscreen.
* TheAlcoholic: He's definitely very high-functioning, but that doesn't change the fact that he's almost never seen without some kind of booze.
* AntiHero[=/=]AntiVillain: Peter Dinklage described him as the "Good Bad Guy" or the "Bad Good Guy."
* {{Bookworm}}
* BadassBookworm: Who would expect him to beat a highwayman to death with nothing but the point of a kite-shield?
* DeadpanSnarker
* DepravedDwarf: Subverted. Despite his bad reputation and taste for booze and whores, he's a much better person than his siblings and is a fundamentally decent guy.
* FreudianExcuse: In "Baelor," it's revealed that when Tyrion was sixteen, Jaime hired a whore to pretend to be rescued from rapists and sleep with him. He fell madly in love and married her, but a fortnight later Tywin found out and cruelly told him the truth, and then forced him to watch as she was paid to have sex with his entire garrison. It's not difficult to see how he became a wee bit cynical, particularly regarding his family.
* GuileHero: Although his being a Lannister may cause other characters to see him in a more [[ManipulativeBastard villainous]] [[MagnificentBastard light]], there is no doubt of his incredible ability to charm, manipulate, bluff, and talk his way out of a bad situation. For example: laying the groundwork for Bronn to champion him a full episode before he even knew there'd be a trial by combat. He's also able to talk his way from a situation where he's likely to be murdered by hill tribesmen to getting said hill tribesmen to serve as his bodyguards.
* InSeriesNickname: Often referred to insultingly as "The Imp" and "Halfman," not that he's all that [[AppropriatedAppellation insulted]].
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's sarcastic, crude, drunk, and a lover of whores, but he is also probably the kindest character in the series. Witness his interactions with his niece Myrcella and nephew Tommen, Jon Snow, and Bran Stark.
-->'''Tyrion:''' I have a tender spot in my heart for cripples, bastards, and broken things.
* KidWithTheLeash: Essentially how Tywin views his relationship with the wildling clans.
* [[MyCountryRightOrWrong My Family Right or Wrong]]: "My dear brother, you wound me. You know how much I love my family." Of course, while he's being entirely sarcastic when he says it, he does tend go along with what's expected of him in the end -- if not exactly in a manner the rest of his family approves of.
* NotSoHarmless: When he kills a man twice his size, using only a shield, by ''[[BewareTheNiceOnes bashing his skull in]]''.
* OnlySaneEmployee: Tywin acknowledges this by appointing him "Hand of the King" in his stead.
* OnlySaneMan: He reached Stage 3 a long, long time ago.
* PetTheDog: Occasionally has moments of these.
* PokeThePoodle: He presents several pranks he played as a child as crimes worth confessing before court.
* {{Pride}}:
-->'''Tyrion''': Never forget what you are. The rest of the world will not. Wear it like armor, and it can never be used to hurt you.
* PromotedToOpeningTitles: ''Sort of''. Peter Dinklage has always been in the opening ("...and Peter Dinklage"), but as of Season 2 he is the showrunner, his name being the first introduced, opposed to Sean Bean, who's been demoted to [[AnyoneCanDie head on a spike]] since end of the first season.
* ReallyGetsAround: His love of whores is infamous. Just look at his opening scene.
* RefugeInAudacity: His confession to the court and most of the times he saves his own life by talking his way out of danger. He even notes that he's always been ''lucky''.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: [[NotSoDifferent Like father, like son]]. His go-to solution in problematic situations is to attempt to buy his way out. However, his particular skill is offering money in a charismatic and [[RefugeInAudacity audacious way]], which allows him to win the loyalty of those he pays off.
* TalkingTheMonsterToDeath: His favorite tactic. When he's put on trial, he delivered a [[CrowningMomentOfFunny hilarious monologue]], which made the nobles of the Eyrie more sympathetic to him and convinced Bronn to come over to his side. His talking also keeps him from being killed by Shagga, and gets him faithful soldiers too.
* TheUnfavourite: "All dwarves are bastards in their father's eyes."
* WellDoneSonGuy: Tyrion's expression when Tywin told him he's sending him to King's Landing as his substitute 'cause "You're my son." is heartbreaking.
* WinTheCrowd: Tyrion tries this at the Eyrie to put pressure on Lysa.
!Lord Tywin Lannister (Charles Dance)
[[quoteright:202:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Lannister-Tywin-001_5650.png]]
->''"We could establish a dynasty that will last a thousand years... or we could crumble like the Targaryens."''
Father of the three Lannister siblings, and grandfather to Joffrey Baratheon. Lord of Casterly Rock and Warden of the West.
!!Tropes:
* AbusiveParents: He antagonizes all three of his children, but Tyrion [[ButtMonkey gets the worst of it]] by far.
* BadassGrandpa: Is a grandfather in-universe (to Joffrey, Myrcella and Tommen, twice-over) and is introduced calmly skinning a massive stag.
* BigBad: As leader of the Lannisters, is as close to this as anyone on the show has managed to get.
* {{Fiction500}}: Often referred to as the richest man in the Seven Kingdoms; Robert owes him three ''million'' gold dragons, and he has no trouble forking over eighty thousand more to provide prize money for a tourney.
* {{Jerkass}}: It is revealed in "Baelor" that Tyrion once made the mistake of falling in love with and marrying a whore his brother had secretly hired to sleep with him. So when Tywin found out, he had his entire garrison have sex with her and ''forced Tyrion to watch''.
* JustAKid: Invoked by Tywin on the verge of war with Robb.
-->'''Tywin:''' Green boy. One taste of battle and he'll run back to Winterfell with his tail between his legs.
* ThePatriarch: His very first appearance has him giving Jaime a speech about the importance of the family legacy. [[{{Foreshadowing}} While skinning a deer]].
* {{Pride}}:
-->'''Tywin''': The lion doesn't concern himself with the opinions of the sheep.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney:
** Implied to be a philosophy of his in particular and Lannisters in general.
** He does seem to have two unbreakable principles that he's cracked into the skulls of his children and the entire Seven Kingdoms: "A Lannister never breaks his word" and "A Lannister always pays his debts." Of course, he rarely needs to give his word or get into debt in the first place [[FalseReassurance (Note that those two can easily be given a more sinister spirit)]].
* UnderestimatingBadassery: He totally underestimates Robb's skill as a commander.
* WellDoneSonGuy: The Kingslayer himself turns into a little boy in his father's presence. Tyrion doesn't fare much better.
!Ser Kevan Lannister (Ian Gelder)
[[quoteright:158:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kevan_lannister_2115.jpg]]
Lord Tywin's younger brother and second in command. Uncle to Cersei, Jaime, and Tyrion, and father to Lancel Lannister.
* BadassGrandpa
* NumberTwo: To his brother Lord Tywin.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: In "Fire and Blood" Kevan was willing to make peace with the Starks since the Lannisters only went to war with the Starks and Tullys because Catelyn humiliated Tywin by kidnapping Tyrion, which pales in comparison to their bigger problem of Robert's brothers challenging Joffrey's claim to the throne. As Tyrion explains, the peace deal would have worked if Joffrey hadn't killed Ned, destroying any chance of Robb stopping his war efforts.
* SiblingYinYang: Is far nicer than his brother, as demonstrated by his relief in seeing Tyrion back safe and sound in "The Pointy End" - a stark contrast to Tywin's own reaction.
!Lancel Lannister (Eugene Simon)
[[quoteright:175:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Lannister-Lancel-001_7466.png]]
-> ''"More wine, Your Grace?"''
King Robert's squire and cousin to Cersei, Jaime, and Tyrion.
!!Tropes:
* AlliterativeName: Lampshaded by Robert, who asks (in his usual "sensitive" manner) if Lancel was named by a halfwit with a stutter.
* ButtMonkey: He's Robert's squire, which basically makes him a professional ButtMonkey.
* TheDogBitesBack: He doesn't seem smart enough to have come up with it on his own, but Robert's treatment of him probably made serving him the wine that made him groggy enough for a boar to take him down a lot easier.
* DudeLooksLikeALady
* DumbBlond: Or Jumpy And Easily Terrified Blond, but it doesn't seem to occur to him that a breastplate stretcher isn't a real thing.
* KissingCousins: With Cersei.
* PrettyBoy
* [[ReplacementGoldfish Replacement Sibling]]: While Jaime is at war and later captured by the Starks Lancel and Cersei become quite close. [[KissingCousins Incest and all.]] [[hottip:From the books...:Lancel is said to resemble a young Jaime, accounting for Cersei's choice of bed-warmer.]]
* SmallNameBigEgo: "What's our next move?" Oh, Lancel, it's so cute how you think that you and Cersei are partners in crime. I'm so sure she's sleeping with you for your ''brains''.
* SnipeHunt: Robert likes to send him on these. "Go fetch the breastplate stretcher!"
!Alton Lannister
Another cousin to the main three, captured by Robb Stark and used as a negotiator.
!!Tropes:
* CanonForeigner: Takes the place of Cleos Frey, to avoid spending time explaining his connection to the Lannisters.

[[folder:House Baratheon of King's Landing]]
!Prince (later King) Joffrey Baratheon (Jack Gleeson)
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Baratheon-Joffery-001_9649.png]]
-->''"Kill them! Kill them all!"''
The elder son of King Robert and Queen Cersei. Officially, at least. Jaime Lannister, the queen's own twin brother, is his biological father, and that of his siblings.
!!Tropes:
* BastardBastard: It's revealed that he's not Robert's son, but the product of Jaime and Cersei's incest. Possibly subverted, as it's never revealed ''to him''.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Briefly pretends to be a decent guy in front of Sansa.
* BigBad: At least one of the candidates to the title.
* BlondGuysAreEvil
* BlueEyes
* TheBully
* TheCaligula: Seems to be quickly shaping up into this after taking the throne.
* CompleteMonster: In-universe, you'd be hard pressed to argue he's anything but after "The North Remembers", where he crossed the MoralEventHorizon by [[spoiler: ordering the death of any suspected bastard children of Robert Baratheon that might pose a threat to his claim to the throne. This included drowning children and slaughtering ''babies''.]]
* DirtyCoward: He acts tough, but when Arya points a sword at him he cries like a baby. There's also the scene when Tyrion bitch-slaps him, repeatedly.
** He's pretty much the poster child for "Absolute Pussy" after Fire and Blood, where he's scared by a veiled threat from Sansa, of all people.
* HairTriggerTemper: Starts shouting for people to be killed the second they say something that he doesn't like.
* JerkAss
* MeanCharacterNiceActor: While Joffrey is a jerk, his actor, Jack Gleeson, is a nice, humble kid as seen [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HPcJ6RAxPg in this interview]].
* PrinceCharmless: So very much, although in "A Golden Crown," he promises Sansa that he'll never hurt her again. [[SarcasmMode Because coming from a boy who threatened to torture Arya's first sparring partner and subsequently got Lady killed, that's totally believable]].
* PuppetKing: Cersei seems to be trying to groom him into one. Horribly subverted two episodes after he takes the throne when he goes off-script in front of thousands of people and Cersei is powerless to stop him. And then in ''The North Remembers'' he threatens to have her killed the next time she slaps him and goes over her head to have ''all' of his father's suspected bastards killed. Nice job, Cersei.
* PetTheDog: He was genuinely distraught over Robert's death.
* RoyalBrat: His book counterpart was very nearly the TropeNamer.
* SadisticChoice: Very fond of giving these to people.
* SpannerInTheWorks: His impulsive decision in "Baelor" shatters both Cersei's and Varys' plans.
* StupidEvil: Lannisters aren't known for their humanitarian impulses, but most of them are at least pragmatic about their cruelty and know when restraint would further their interests better. Joffrey, by contrast, tends to do the most vicious thing possible in any given situation, even when it amounts to shooting himself in the foot.
* TeensAreMonsters
* TheWhitePrince: Of the pompous, arrogant, and bullying variety.
* WimpFight: "You let a little girl disarm you?"
** When Sansa makes a threatening comment, he takes a step backwards. He retreats after a comment, made by someone who acted like an obedient puppy throughout the season.
* WouldNotHitAGirl: Subverted in a way. He doesn't do it himself, because that wouldn't be kingly. [[LoopholeAbuse So he has his bodyguard Ser Meryn do it for him]].
!Princess Myrcella Baratheon (Aimee Richardson)
[[quoteright:170:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/440125-myrcella_large_4165.jpg]]
Robert and Cersei's only daughter, the middle child. Jaime Lannister, the queen's own twin brother, is her biological father, and that of her siblings.
!!Tropes:
* ChildrenAreInnocent
* DemotedToExtra: She wasn't exactly a large character in the book, but in the series she's only had speaking lines once, and been on screen a handful of scenes beyond that. [[hottip:From the books...:She should get more screentime in season two and on, since by ''A Storm of Swords'', she's become an active part of the game of thrones.]]
* HairOfGold
* LickedByTheDog: One of the early signs that the audience received that Tyrion is more than a drunken whoremonger is how much Tommen and Myrcella seems to adore him.
* PetTheDog: Proves that the Lannister family evil isn't genetic by asking about Bran's condition and being genuinely happy to hear that he will live.
!Prince Tommen Baratheon (Callum Wharry)
[[quoteright:169:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Tommen-Baratheon-game-of-thrones-21930273-613-654_8956.jpg]]
Robert and Cersei's second son, the youngest child. Second in line for the throne. Jaime Lannister, the queen's own twin brother, is his biological father and that of his siblings.
!!Tropes:
* ChildrenAreInnocent
* DemotedToExtra: Much like his sister.
* HairOfGold
* LickedByTheDog: Like his sister, he's the Dog in relation to his uncle Tyrion.
* [[SimilarlyNamedWorks Similarly Named Actors]]: Not to be confused with [[AustinAndAlly Calum Worthy]].

!Sandor Clegane (Rory [=McCann=])
[[quoteright:227:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sandor-001_8458.png]]
Called "The Hound," personal bodyguard to Prince Joffrey Baratheon. His face is horribly burned. Now [[spoiler: a member of the Kingsguard.]]
!!Tropes:
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: His facial burns are much less extensive and gruesome than they are described in the book series. Apparently the actor couldn't see out of a truer-to-the-book prosthetic, which would naturally be rather important when filming swordfights.
* {{Badass}}: Goes toe-to-toe with his giant, AxCrazy brother Ser Gregor.
* TheBrute: To Prince Joffrey, on the way of becoming TheDragon.
* CainAndAbel: Abel to Gregor's Cain. Gregor burning his face seems to be only the tip of the iceberg between them and he's more than willing to "defend" Ser Loras.
* [[DontCallMeSir Don't Call Me Ser]]: Is not a knight, so he should not be called "Ser". Also, he doesn't think very highly of knights. After all, [[CompleteMonster his brother]] is one.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Somewhat. He defends Ser Loras from his brother Gregor when the latter goes batshit and immediately goes on one knee after being told to by the King. [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome During said duel, dodging a possibly lethal blow with it.]]
** He has no problem with killing children, though.
** He's somewhat tender to Sansa, after Joffrey shows her her father's head and has her beaten up.
* FreudianExcuse: It's not exactly used to justify his behavior, but Littlefinger does tell Sansa that the Hound's scars come from his brother pushing his face into a fire when he was eight years old because he played with one of Gregor's toys.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: His horribly disfigured face can be... off-putting to say the least.
* KickTheDog: Mycah the Butcher's Boy.
-->'''Sandor:''' He ran... but not very fast.
* LightningBruiser
* PetTheDog: In ''Fire and Blood'' he is the only person in King's landing who acts with any sort of sympathy towards Sansa.
* PunchClockVillain: Looks like one. He doesn't look like he's in it for the fun of killing (unlike his brother) and he's completely obedient to whoever he's serving. However, he has the balls to stop Gregor from killing Ser Loras and is at least a bit sympathetic to Sansa's situation.
* TwoFaced
!Ser Gregor Clegane (Conan Stevens / Ian Whyte)
[[quoteright:224:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gregor-001_5115.png]]
Called "The Mountain" or "The Mountain that Rides" a knight in the service of House Lannister and older brother to The Hound.
!!Tropes:
* AxCrazy:
** Considering we've only seen him for a few minutes of screentime and he's already rammed a lance through a man's throat ''and'' gotten a backstory that involves burning half his brother's face off in cold blood when they were children, this wouldn't be a bad guess.
** After losing a joust to Ser Loras Tyrell, he pulled his sword, beheaded his horse and then tried to kill his unarmed opponent. Just like any sane person would do.
** [[hottip:From the books...:His first outstanding act of brutality was during the Sack of King's Landing. He and Ser Amory Lorch made it into the Red Keep, where The Mountain found Rhaegar's wife, Elia of Dorne, cradling her infant son Aegon at the breast. Clegane took the baby and ''[[YourHeadAsplode smashed his head against the wall]]'', and then raped Elia with her son's blood and brains still decorating his hands. Oh, and then he killed her, mostly because Tywin Lannister hadn't told him not to.]]
* BlackKnight
* TheBrute: Seven feet tall ([[http://www.conanstevens.com/ yes, really]]), massively muscular, and apparently psychopathic.
* {{Badass}}: Capable of cutting off a horse's head off with one swing.
* CainAndAbel: Cain to Sandor's Abel. Apart from being the source of Sandor's burns, the two of them appeared quite willing to fight to the death in full view of the court for very little reason.
* TheDragon: To the Lannisters.
* TheDreaded: Feared for his cruelty, especially since he's currently [[RapePillageAndBurn leading a band of psychopaths through the Riverlands]].
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: His first joust and of course, "'''Sword!'''"
* GiantMook
* HairTriggerTemper: See AxCrazy above.
* InSeriesNickname: "[[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast The Mountain That Rides]]."
* KickTheDog: Beheading his own horse after he [[YouHaveFailedMe loses a joust]].
* PsychoForHire: Tywin Lannister is his "employer" and unleashes him on the peasantry of those who he feels have harmed the Lannisters.
* RapePillageAndBurn: Seems to be his day job, when he's not "accidentally" killing people in tourneys.
* TheRedBaron
* TheOtherDarrin: It has been reported that in season two, Gregor will now be played by veteran stuntman Ian Whyte, as Conan Stevens is currently in New Zealand filming ''[[{{Film/TheHobbit}} The Hobbit]]''.
* TheQuietOne: Has so far said two things, "Sword!" and [[AxCrazy screaming]].
* YouHaveFailedMe: Apparently the reason why he beheads his horse after losing to Ser Loras.
!Bronn (Jerome Flynn)
[[quoteright:180:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bronn-001_5592.png]]
-->''"I'm not your toady and I'm not your friend."''
A mercenary who accompanies Catelyn and Tyrion to the Eyrie.
!!Tropes:
* AbusiveParents: Tyrion predicts that Bronn was beaten by his father. He concedes the point before adding wryly that his mother hit harder.
* {{Badass}}
* CombatPragmatist: When confronted with a big KnightInShiningArmor and a full-body shield, he {{David Versus Goliath}}s it, dodging continually away until his opponent gets tired.
-->'''Lysa:''' You do not fight with honor!
-->'''Bronn:''' No. ''[nods at dead foe]'' [[DeadpanSnarker He did]].
* DeadpanSnarker: Seems to have much the same sense of humor as Tyrion.
* TheDragon: Is shaping up to be Tyrion's.
* DuelToTheDeath: When he decides to champion Tyrion.
* IAmXSonOfY: He's not really in to that whole "Who's your daddy" thing.
-->'''Tyrion''': And here we have Bronn, son of...
-->'''Bronn''': You wouldn't know him.
* LeaveTheTwoLovebirdsAlone: He quickly excuses himself in "Baelor" when Tyrion and his new concubine begin to get busy ''while he's still there''.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney
* PunchClockHero[=/=]PunchClockVillain
* ServileSnarker: Not afraid to speak his mind to Tyrion.
* StraightMan: To Tyrion.

!Queen Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey)
[[quoteright:217:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Lannister-Cersie-001_4703.png]]
->''"When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die. There is no middle ground."''
Twin sister of Jaime and older sister of Tyrion. Queen of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros by marriage.
!!Tropes:
* AnalogyBackfire: When Ned confronts her on her incestuous relationship with Jaime she responds that the Targaryens did the same thing for centuries. The same Targaryens that produced the "Mad King" Aerys... even more of a backfire when Joffrey turns out to be more like Aerys than anyone thought.
* ArrangedMarriage: With Robert. She initially saw it as a PerfectlyArrangedMarriage up until Robert called her by his late betrothed's name on their wedding night.
* BlondesAreEvil
* DomesticAbuse
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She genuinely loves her twin brother and her children.
* EvilMatriarch
* FreudianExcuse: Her hatred for Robert stems from him using her as a ReplacementGoldfish for Lyanna.
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: She is ''not'' a pleasant person and is grooming Joffrey to follow in her footsteps. In "You Win or You Die," she fully metamorphoses into this trope when she orchestrates a HuntingAccident for Robert.
* HotMom
* InfantImmortality: Averted. She mentions to Catelyn and later discusses with Robert how their first child died shortly after birth due to a fever.
* KickTheDog: Convinces the king to have Sansa's wolf slain.
* KissingCousins: With Lancel.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: Apparently she used to have feelings for Robert when they married, but [[DomesticAbuse domestic abuse]] and Robert's love for Lyanna brutally changed that. Her relationship with Jaime doesn't seem to bring out the best of her either.
* MamaBear: She's ''furious'' when she hears about Arya and Joffrey's altercation, and she admits to going to the extremes when it concerns protecting her children.
* ManipulativeBitch
* NotSoDifferent: Not explicitly pointed out in-universe, but Cersei doesn't look quite so morally superior to her philandering husband when we find out that she doesn't love Jaime enough to not quite literally get in bed with Lancel when he's captured by the Starks. So much for their pure Targaryen-esque love.
* PetTheDog: She convinces Joffrey to do something nice for Sansa during "Lord Snow," referencing her own unhappy arranged marriage.
* PragmaticVillainy: Knows full well that a tame wolf is better than a dead one, so she plans to have Ned stripped of titles and lands and sent to the Night's Watch. Her plan fails when her son orders Ned's death. Arguably, there is an element of EvenEvilHasStandards here, albeit expresed in a cruel Ironic Echo- since Ned planned to exile her rather than allowing her and her children to be murdered, it is sort of "fair" to "only" plan to exile the Starks rather than killing them.
* {{Pride}}: A theme for the Lannisters. They all have a slightly different take on it.
-->'''Cersei''': He's attacked one of my brothers, and abducted the other. I should wear the armor, and you the gown.
-->'''Robert''': [hits her]
-->'''Cersei''': I shall wear this like a badge of honor.
* {{Twincest}}: With Jaime.
!Ser Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau)
[[quoteright:214:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Lannister-Jamie-001_608.png]]
->''"I'll kill the King, Ned Stark, the whole bloody lot of them until you and I are the only people left in this world."''
Twin brother of Cersei, and older brother of Tyrion. A member of the Kingsguard, and Lord Commander after the forced retirement of Ser Barristan.
!!Tropes:
* AffablyEvil: It's kind of hard to remember to hate the guy when he's joking with Tyrion or trading war stories with Jory Cassel. And then he brutally stabs the latter through the eye. Quite the turnaround to further remind the audience of the "evil" part.
* AntiVillain: Unlike in the novels, where he [[spoiler:seems like a CompleteMonster for the first two books until he gets a SympatheticPOV in the third]], the series is setting up some of his sympathetic traits earlier on and giving him more screen time. Case in point would be one scene so far that's been included in the series that wasn't shown in the book except as a flashback in ''A Storm of Swords''.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Toward Tyrion.
* BodyguardBetrayal: The source of his infamous nickname: Kingslayer.
* BloodKnight: Loves a good fight.
* BlondGuysAreEvil
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Why Ned doesn't trust him since he killed King Aerys even though he was supposed to protect the King.
* DeadpanSnarker: "Robert's off fucking boars and hunting whores, or is it the other way around?"
* TheDogBitesBack: It's been implied that his murder of Aerys was a case of this.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment:
** Not his first scene, but being able to shove a child out a window with only a flippant little comment about "The things I do for love" is a pretty big moment.
** Gets a second one in "The Kingsroad" while talking to Jon Snow.
* EstrogenBrigadeBait
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He and Cersei are clearly very much in love, and he's very protective of his brother Tyrion.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Knocks down a soldier who unceremoniously stabs Ned in the leg during his duel with the latter. When talking with his father in "You Win or You Die," he comments that this act made him spare Ned's life as killing him in this situation wouldn't be "clean." Tywin basically replies that standards are for pussies.
* HeroWithBadPublicity: He considers himself this.
* HotDad: He is the biological father of Joffrey, Tommen, and Myrcella.
* [[IHaveYourWife I Have Your Brother]]: Has been captured by the Starks, who plan to use him as a hostage against Cersei.
* KnightInShiningArmor: A literal knight in literally shining armor, he certainly ''looks'' the part. [[SubvertedTrope His actions, on the other hand...]]
* MasterSwordsman: Ironically, one of the few remaining knights of the Kingsguard who actually ''earned'' that position and ''isn't'' just a Lannister political appointee.
* MemeticBadass: In-universe; everyone knows he's an accomplished fighter.
-->'''Littlefinger:''' I bet on Ser Jaime in the jousting, as any sane man would...
* MoralEventHorizon: In-Universe, many people, including Ned Stark, consider his BodyguardBetrayal of Aerys to be this.
* InSeriesNickname: The Kingslayer. More or less ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin--he assassinated Aerys, the last Targaryen King, which put Robert on the throne. However, it also gave him a really bad reputation because he was a member of the [[PraetorianGuard Kingsguard]], who were supposed to ''defend'' the king with their lives. This has made the people see him as [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder a man who will quickly change his loyalty when it suits him]].
* KnightTemplarBigBrother: To a degree. He seems to be one of the few people who cares for Tyrion and reacts badly when Tyrion's safety is threatened. Cersei also mentions that if he would have killed Robert if he found out about the DomesticAbuse in "You Win or You Die."
* LoveMakesYouEvil: "The things I do for love," indeed.
* PetTheDog: Despite the clear animosity between them, he tells Ned that his father and brother were very brave and genuinely means it.
-->'''Jaime:''' He was very brave, your brother. And your father too. They didn't deserve to die like that.
* {{Pride}}:
-->'''Jaime:''' I could care less what anyone thinks of me.
-->'''Tywin:''' No, ''that's'' what you want people to think of you.
* {{Twincest}}: With Cersei.
* WorthyOpponent: He seems to regard Lord Eddard Stark as one, considering that Eddard's the only one who's been capable of matching him in a fight.
-->"''Brave man that Ned Stark, but terrible judgement.''" - Jaime on the man, after receiving a letter demanding that Tywin appear at Kings Landing to explain the actions of Gregor Clegane.
!Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage)
[[quoteright:208:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Lannister-Tyrion-001_8217.png]]
->''"My brother has his sword and I have my mind, and a mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone."''
The youngest Lannister sibling, brother of Jaime and Cersei. He has dwarfism.
!!Tropes:
* AbusiveParents: Tywin takes emotional abuse to new levels.
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: He is repeatedly described as horribly ugly in the books, while Peter Dinklage is quite attractive. His {{Mismatched Eyes}} have also been removed. On the other hand, he appears to have put on some years in the adaptation; Tyrion is the younger sibling of Jamie and Cersei but looks older than both (which is sensible, considering Dinklage is in his forties). His facial deformity in the books probably translates to looking older than his years onscreen.
* TheAlcoholic: He's definitely very high-functioning, but that doesn't change the fact that he's almost never seen without some kind of booze.
* AntiHero[=/=]AntiVillain: Peter Dinklage described him as the "Good Bad Guy" or the "Bad Good Guy."
* {{Bookworm}}
* BadassBookworm: Who would expect him to beat a highwayman to death with nothing but the point of a kite-shield?
* DeadpanSnarker
* DepravedDwarf: Subverted. Despite his bad reputation and taste for booze and whores, he's a much better person than his siblings and is a fundamentally decent guy.
* FreudianExcuse: In "Baelor," it's revealed that when Tyrion was sixteen, Jaime hired a whore to pretend to be rescued from rapists and sleep with him. He fell madly in love and married her, but a fortnight later Tywin found out and cruelly told him the truth, and then forced him to watch as she was paid to have sex with his entire garrison. It's not difficult to see how he became a wee bit cynical, particularly regarding his family.
* GuileHero: Although his being a Lannister may cause other characters to see him in a more [[ManipulativeBastard villainous]] [[MagnificentBastard light]], there is no doubt of his incredible ability to charm, manipulate, bluff, and talk his way out of a bad situation. For example: laying the groundwork for Bronn to champion him a full episode before he even knew there'd be a trial by combat. He's also able to talk his way from a situation where he's likely to be murdered by hill tribesmen to getting said hill tribesmen to serve as his bodyguards.
* InSeriesNickname: Often referred to insultingly as "The Imp" and "Halfman," not that he's all that [[AppropriatedAppellation insulted]].
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's sarcastic, crude, drunk, and a lover of whores, but he is also probably the kindest character in the series. Witness his interactions with his niece Myrcella and nephew Tommen, Jon Snow, and Bran Stark.
-->'''Tyrion:''' I have a tender spot in my heart for cripples, bastards, and broken things.
* KidWithTheLeash: Essentially how Tywin views his relationship with the wildling clans.
* [[MyCountryRightOrWrong My Family Right or Wrong]]: "My dear brother, you wound me. You know how much I love my family." Of course, while he's being entirely sarcastic when he says it, he does tend go along with what's expected of him in the end -- if not exactly in a manner the rest of his family approves of.
* NotSoHarmless: When he kills a man twice his size, using only a shield, by ''[[BewareTheNiceOnes bashing his skull in]]''.
* OnlySaneEmployee: Tywin acknowledges this by appointing him "Hand of the King" in his stead.
* OnlySaneMan: He reached Stage 3 a long, long time ago.
* PetTheDog: Occasionally has moments of these.
* PokeThePoodle: He presents several pranks he played as a child as crimes worth confessing before court.
* {{Pride}}:
-->'''Tyrion''': Never forget what you are. The rest of the world will not. Wear it like armor, and it can never be used to hurt you.
* PromotedToOpeningTitles: ''Sort of''. Peter Dinklage has always been in the opening ("...and Peter Dinklage"), but as of Season 2 he is the showrunner, his name being the first introduced, opposed to Sean Bean, who's been demoted to [[AnyoneCanDie head on a spike]] since end of the first season.
* ReallyGetsAround: His love of whores is infamous. Just look at his opening scene.
* RefugeInAudacity: His confession to the court and most of the times he saves his own life by talking his way out of danger. He even notes that he's always been ''lucky''.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: [[NotSoDifferent Like father, like son]]. His go-to solution in problematic situations is to attempt to buy his way out. However, his particular skill is offering money in a charismatic and [[RefugeInAudacity audacious way]], which allows him to win the loyalty of those he pays off.
* TalkingTheMonsterToDeath: His favorite tactic. When he's put on trial, he delivered a [[CrowningMomentOfFunny hilarious monologue]], which made the nobles of the Eyrie more sympathetic to him and convinced Bronn to come over to his side. His talking also keeps him from being killed by Shagga, and gets him faithful soldiers too.
* TheUnfavourite: "All dwarves are bastards in their father's eyes."
* WellDoneSonGuy: Tyrion's expression when Tywin told him he's sending him to King's Landing as his substitute 'cause "You're my son." is heartbreaking.
* WinTheCrowd: Tyrion tries this at the Eyrie to put pressure on Lysa.
!Lord Tywin Lannister (Charles Dance)
[[quoteright:202:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Lannister-Tywin-001_5650.png]]
->''"We could establish a dynasty that will last a thousand years... or we could crumble like the Targaryens."''
Father of the three Lannister siblings, and grandfather to Joffrey Baratheon. Lord of Casterly Rock and Warden of the West.
!!Tropes:
* AbusiveParents: He antagonizes all three of his children, but Tyrion [[ButtMonkey gets the worst of it]] by far.
* BadassGrandpa: Is a grandfather in-universe (to Joffrey, Myrcella and Tommen, twice-over) and is introduced calmly skinning a massive stag.
* BigBad: As leader of the Lannisters, is as close to this as anyone on the show has managed to get.
* {{Fiction500}}: Often referred to as the richest man in the Seven Kingdoms; Robert owes him three ''million'' gold dragons, and he has no trouble forking over eighty thousand more to provide prize money for a tourney.
* {{Jerkass}}: It is revealed in "Baelor" that Tyrion once made the mistake of falling in love with and marrying a whore his brother had secretly hired to sleep with him. So when Tywin found out, he had his entire garrison have sex with her and ''forced Tyrion to watch''.
* JustAKid: Invoked by Tywin on the verge of war with Robb.
-->'''Tywin:''' Green boy. One taste of battle and he'll run back to Winterfell with his tail between his legs.
* ThePatriarch: His very first appearance has him giving Jaime a speech about the importance of the family legacy. [[{{Foreshadowing}} While skinning a deer]].
* {{Pride}}:
-->'''Tywin''': The lion doesn't concern himself with the opinions of the sheep.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney:
** Implied to be a philosophy of his in particular and Lannisters in general.
** He does seem to have two unbreakable principles that he's cracked into the skulls of his children and the entire Seven Kingdoms: "A Lannister never breaks his word" and "A Lannister always pays his debts." Of course, he rarely needs to give his word or get into debt in the first place [[FalseReassurance (Note that those two can easily be given a more sinister spirit)]].
* UnderestimatingBadassery: He totally underestimates Robb's skill as a commander.
* WellDoneSonGuy: The Kingslayer himself turns into a little boy in his father's presence. Tyrion doesn't fare much better.
!Ser Kevan Lannister (Ian Gelder)
[[quoteright:158:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kevan_lannister_2115.jpg]]
Lord Tywin's younger brother and second in command. Uncle to Cersei, Jaime, and Tyrion, and father to Lancel Lannister.
* BadassGrandpa
* NumberTwo: To his brother Lord Tywin.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: In "Fire and Blood" Kevan was willing to make peace with the Starks since the Lannisters only went to war with the Starks and Tullys because Catelyn humiliated Tywin by kidnapping Tyrion, which pales in comparison to their bigger problem of Robert's brothers challenging Joffrey's claim to the throne. As Tyrion explains, the peace deal would have worked if Joffrey hadn't killed Ned, destroying any chance of Robb stopping his war efforts.
* SiblingYinYang: Is far nicer than his brother, as demonstrated by his relief in seeing Tyrion back safe and sound in "The Pointy End" - a stark contrast to Tywin's own reaction.
!Lancel Lannister (Eugene Simon)
[[quoteright:175:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Lannister-Lancel-001_7466.png]]
-> ''"More wine, Your Grace?"''
King Robert's squire and cousin to Cersei, Jaime, and Tyrion.
!!Tropes:
* AlliterativeName: Lampshaded by Robert, who asks (in his usual "sensitive" manner) if Lancel was named by a halfwit with a stutter.
* ButtMonkey: He's Robert's squire, which basically makes him a professional ButtMonkey.
* TheDogBitesBack: He doesn't seem smart enough to have come up with it on his own, but Robert's treatment of him probably made serving him the wine that made him groggy enough for a boar to take him down a lot easier.
* DudeLooksLikeALady
* DumbBlond: Or Jumpy And Easily Terrified Blond, but it doesn't seem to occur to him that a breastplate stretcher isn't a real thing.
* KissingCousins: With Cersei.
* PrettyBoy
* [[ReplacementGoldfish Replacement Sibling]]: While Jaime is at war and later captured by the Starks Lancel and Cersei become quite close. [[KissingCousins Incest and all.]] [[hottip:From the books...:Lancel is said to resemble a young Jaime, accounting for Cersei's choice of bed-warmer.]]
* SmallNameBigEgo: "What's our next move?" Oh, Lancel, it's so cute how you think that you and Cersei are partners in crime. I'm so sure she's sleeping with you for your ''brains''.
* SnipeHunt: Robert likes to send him on these. "Go fetch the breastplate stretcher!"
!Alton Lannister
Another cousin to the main three, captured by Robb Stark and used as a negotiator.
!!Tropes:
* CanonForeigner: Takes the place of Cleos Frey, to avoid spending time explaining his connection to the Lannisters.

[[folder:House Baratheon of King's Landing]]
!Prince (later King) Joffrey Baratheon (Jack Gleeson)
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Baratheon-Joffery-001_9649.png]]
-->''"Kill them! Kill them all!"''
The elder son of King Robert and Queen Cersei. Officially, at least. Jaime Lannister, the queen's own twin brother, is his biological father, and that of his siblings.
!!Tropes:
* BastardBastard: It's revealed that he's not Robert's son, but the product of Jaime and Cersei's incest. Possibly subverted, as it's never revealed ''to him''.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Briefly pretends to be a decent guy in front of Sansa.
* BigBad: At least one of the candidates to the title.
* BlondGuysAreEvil
* BlueEyes
* TheBully
* TheCaligula: Seems to be quickly shaping up into this after taking the throne.
* CompleteMonster: In-universe, you'd be hard pressed to argue he's anything but after "The North Remembers", where he crossed the MoralEventHorizon by [[spoiler: ordering the death of any suspected bastard children of Robert Baratheon that might pose a threat to his claim to the throne. This included drowning children and slaughtering ''babies''.]]
* DirtyCoward: He acts tough, but when Arya points a sword at him he cries like a baby. There's also the scene when Tyrion bitch-slaps him, repeatedly.
** He's pretty much the poster child for "Absolute Pussy" after Fire and Blood, where he's scared by a veiled threat from Sansa, of all people.
* HairTriggerTemper: Starts shouting for people to be killed the second they say something that he doesn't like.
* JerkAss
* MeanCharacterNiceActor: While Joffrey is a jerk, his actor, Jack Gleeson, is a nice, humble kid as seen [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HPcJ6RAxPg in this interview]].
* PrinceCharmless: So very much, although in "A Golden Crown," he promises Sansa that he'll never hurt her again. [[SarcasmMode Because coming from a boy who threatened to torture Arya's first sparring partner and subsequently got Lady killed, that's totally believable]].
* PuppetKing: Cersei seems to be trying to groom him into one. Horribly subverted two episodes after he takes the throne when he goes off-script in front of thousands of people and Cersei is powerless to stop him. And then in ''The North Remembers'' he threatens to have her killed the next time she slaps him and goes over her head to have ''all' of his father's suspected bastards killed. Nice job, Cersei.
* PetTheDog: He was genuinely distraught over Robert's death.
* RoyalBrat: His book counterpart was very nearly the TropeNamer.
* SadisticChoice: Very fond of giving these to people.
* SpannerInTheWorks: His impulsive decision in "Baelor" shatters both Cersei's and Varys' plans.
* StupidEvil: Lannisters aren't known for their humanitarian impulses, but most of them are at least pragmatic about their cruelty and know when restraint would further their interests better. Joffrey, by contrast, tends to do the most vicious thing possible in any given situation, even when it amounts to shooting himself in the foot.
* TeensAreMonsters
* TheWhitePrince: Of the pompous, arrogant, and bullying variety.
* WimpFight: "You let a little girl disarm you?"
** When Sansa makes a threatening comment, he takes a step backwards. He retreats after a comment, made by someone who acted like an obedient puppy throughout the season.
* WouldNotHitAGirl: Subverted in a way. He doesn't do it himself, because that wouldn't be kingly. [[LoopholeAbuse So he has his bodyguard Ser Meryn do it for him]].
!Princess Myrcella Baratheon (Aimee Richardson)
[[quoteright:170:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/440125-myrcella_large_4165.jpg]]
Robert and Cersei's only daughter, the middle child. Jaime Lannister, the queen's own twin brother, is her biological father, and that of her siblings.
!!Tropes:
* ChildrenAreInnocent
* DemotedToExtra: She wasn't exactly a large character in the book, but in the series she's only had speaking lines once, and been on screen a handful of scenes beyond that. [[hottip:From the books...:She should get more screentime in season two and on, since by ''A Storm of Swords'', she's become an active part of the game of thrones.]]
* HairOfGold
* LickedByTheDog: One of the early signs that the audience received that Tyrion is more than a drunken whoremonger is how much Tommen and Myrcella seems to adore him.
* PetTheDog: Proves that the Lannister family evil isn't genetic by asking about Bran's condition and being genuinely happy to hear that he will live.
!Prince Tommen Baratheon (Callum Wharry)
[[quoteright:169:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Tommen-Baratheon-game-of-thrones-21930273-613-654_8956.jpg]]
Robert and Cersei's second son, the youngest child. Second in line for the throne. Jaime Lannister, the queen's own twin brother, is his biological father and that of his siblings.
!!Tropes:
* ChildrenAreInnocent
* DemotedToExtra: Much like his sister.
* HairOfGold
* LickedByTheDog: Like his sister, he's the Dog in relation to his uncle Tyrion.
* [[SimilarlyNamedWorks Similarly Named Actors]]: Not to be confused with [[AustinAndAlly Calum Worthy]].

!Sandor Clegane (Rory [=McCann=])
[[quoteright:227:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sandor-001_8458.png]]
Called "The Hound," personal bodyguard to Prince Joffrey Baratheon. His face is horribly burned. Now [[spoiler: a member of the Kingsguard.]]
!!Tropes:
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: His facial burns are much less extensive and gruesome than they are described in the book series. Apparently the actor couldn't see out of a truer-to-the-book prosthetic, which would naturally be rather important when filming swordfights.
* {{Badass}}: Goes toe-to-toe with his giant, AxCrazy brother Ser Gregor.
* TheBrute: To Prince Joffrey, on the way of becoming TheDragon.
* CainAndAbel: Abel to Gregor's Cain. Gregor burning his face seems to be only the tip of the iceberg between them and he's more than willing to "defend" Ser Loras.
* [[DontCallMeSir Don't Call Me Ser]]: Is not a knight, so he should not be called "Ser". Also, he doesn't think very highly of knights. After all, [[CompleteMonster his brother]] is one.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Somewhat. He defends Ser Loras from his brother Gregor when the latter goes batshit and immediately goes on one knee after being told to by the King. [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome During said duel, dodging a possibly lethal blow with it.]]
** He has no problem with killing children, though.
** He's somewhat tender to Sansa, after Joffrey shows her her father's head and has her beaten up.
* FreudianExcuse: It's not exactly used to justify his behavior, but Littlefinger does tell Sansa that the Hound's scars come from his brother pushing his face into a fire when he was eight years old because he played with one of Gregor's toys.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: His horribly disfigured face can be... off-putting to say the least.
* KickTheDog: Mycah the Butcher's Boy.
-->'''Sandor:''' He ran... but not very fast.
* LightningBruiser
* PetTheDog: In ''Fire and Blood'' he is the only person in King's landing who acts with any sort of sympathy towards Sansa.
* PunchClockVillain: Looks like one. He doesn't look like he's in it for the fun of killing (unlike his brother) and he's completely obedient to whoever he's serving. However, he has the balls to stop Gregor from killing Ser Loras and is at least a bit sympathetic to Sansa's situation.
* TwoFaced
!Ser Gregor Clegane (Conan Stevens / Ian Whyte)
[[quoteright:224:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gregor-001_5115.png]]
Called "The Mountain" or "The Mountain that Rides" a knight in the service of House Lannister and older brother to The Hound.
!!Tropes:
* AxCrazy:
** Considering we've only seen him for a few minutes of screentime and he's already rammed a lance through a man's throat ''and'' gotten a backstory that involves burning half his brother's face off in cold blood when they were children, this wouldn't be a bad guess.
** After losing a joust to Ser Loras Tyrell, he pulled his sword, beheaded his horse and then tried to kill his unarmed opponent. Just like any sane person would do.
** [[hottip:From the books...:His first outstanding act of brutality was during the Sack of King's Landing. He and Ser Amory Lorch made it into the Red Keep, where The Mountain found Rhaegar's wife, Elia of Dorne, cradling her infant son Aegon at the breast. Clegane took the baby and ''[[YourHeadAsplode smashed his head against the wall]]'', and then raped Elia with her son's blood and brains still decorating his hands. Oh, and then he killed her, mostly because Tywin Lannister hadn't told him not to.]]
* BlackKnight
* TheBrute: Seven feet tall ([[http://www.conanstevens.com/ yes, really]]), massively muscular, and apparently psychopathic.
* {{Badass}}: Capable of cutting off a horse's head off with one swing.
* CainAndAbel: Cain to Sandor's Abel. Apart from being the source of Sandor's burns, the two of them appeared quite willing to fight to the death in full view of the court for very little reason.
* TheDragon: To the Lannisters.
* TheDreaded: Feared for his cruelty, especially since he's currently [[RapePillageAndBurn leading a band of psychopaths through the Riverlands]].
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: His first joust and of course, "'''Sword!'''"
* GiantMook
* HairTriggerTemper: See AxCrazy above.
* InSeriesNickname: "[[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast The Mountain That Rides]]."
* KickTheDog: Beheading his own horse after he [[YouHaveFailedMe loses a joust]].
* PsychoForHire: Tywin Lannister is his "employer" and unleashes him on the peasantry of those who he feels have harmed the Lannisters.
* RapePillageAndBurn: Seems to be his day job, when he's not "accidentally" killing people in tourneys.
* TheRedBaron
* TheOtherDarrin: It has been reported that in season two, Gregor will now be played by veteran stuntman Ian Whyte, as Conan Stevens is currently in New Zealand filming ''[[{{Film/TheHobbit}} The Hobbit]]''.
* TheQuietOne: Has so far said two things, "Sword!" and [[AxCrazy screaming]].
* YouHaveFailedMe: Apparently the reason why he beheads his horse after losing to Ser Loras.
!Bronn (Jerome Flynn)
[[quoteright:180:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bronn-001_5592.png]]
-->''"I'm not your toady and I'm not your friend."''
A mercenary who accompanies Catelyn and Tyrion to the Eyrie.
!!Tropes:
* AbusiveParents: Tyrion predicts that Bronn was beaten by his father. He concedes the point before adding wryly that his mother hit harder.
* {{Badass}}
* CombatPragmatist: When confronted with a big KnightInShiningArmor and a full-body shield, he {{David Versus Goliath}}s it, dodging continually away until his opponent gets tired.
-->'''Lysa:''' You do not fight with honor!
-->'''Bronn:''' No. ''[nods at dead foe]'' [[DeadpanSnarker He did]].
* DeadpanSnarker: Seems to have much the same sense of humor as Tyrion.
* TheDragon: Is shaping up to be Tyrion's.
* DuelToTheDeath: When he decides to champion Tyrion.
* IAmXSonOfY: He's not really in to that whole "Who's your daddy" thing.
-->'''Tyrion''': And here we have Bronn, son of...
-->'''Bronn''': You wouldn't know him.
* LeaveTheTwoLovebirdsAlone: He quickly excuses himself in "Baelor" when Tyrion and his new concubine begin to get busy ''while he's still there''.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney
* PunchClockHero[=/=]PunchClockVillain
* ServileSnarker: Not afraid to speak his mind to Tyrion.
* StraightMan: To Tyrion.
