As Lannister soldiers raped and pillaged throughout the city during the Sack of King's Landing, King Aerys remained holed up inside the Red Keep, for hours maniacally repeating the order to "burn them all."ĭespite being sworn by the holiest oaths to protect the king as a member of the Kingsguard, Jaime ultimately turned his own sword on Aerys, slaying him at the foot of the Iron Throne itself. Instead, Grand Maester Pycelle gave the opposite counsel, and once the Lannister army was allowed inside, Tywin ordered his men to attack the city. Most of the small council urged Aerys not to trust Tywin, especially Jaime, knowing his father would never support the losing side of a war. Īt the conclusion of Robert's Rebellion, Jaime's father Tywin arrived at the gates of King's Landing with the main Lannister army, pledging his allegiance. He was then the youngest man ever appointed to its membership. Jaime was sworn into the Kingsguard by the Mad King, Aerys II Targaryen during the Great Tourney at Harrenhal. However, Tywin erupted in fury and resigned his position as Hand of the King, taking Cersei back to Casterly Rock with him. Although initially hesitant (due the fact that Tywin was unable to accept Tyrion as his heir should Jaime be inducted), Jaime agreed, as Cersei's betrothal to Prince Rhaegar would allow the two of them to be in King's Landing together.
At the behest of Cersei, he consented to join the Kingsguard, which would prevent his father's plans for him to marry Lysa Tully from coming into effect. At the age of 16, Jaime rose to the rank of knighthood. Jaime began an incestuous relationship with his twin Cersei in his youth. The Mad King, Aerys II, proclaims Jaime to his Kingsguard. Unlike Cersei and Tywin, Jaime always treated Tyrion with a degree of love, kindness and respect. Due to his place in the Kingsguard, Jaime could not inherit his father's lands or titles, making Tyrion his father's heir a fact which vexes Tywin. Their mother died giving birth to Tyrion. Jaime was the older brother of Tyrion and the twin brother of Cersei. Jaime resented being forced to spend so much time on reading. Tywin sat with him through four hours a day practicing until he learned. Jaime had great difficulty learning to read as a child because he transposed letters in his mind. The Westerlands are one of the constituent regions of the Seven Kingdoms and House Lannister is one of the Great Houses of the realm. Tywin was the head of House Lannister, the richest man in Westeros and the most powerful man in the world, and Lord Paramount of the Westerlands. Jaime was the eldest son of Joanna Lannister and Lord Tywin Lannister. Jaime died during the Battle of King's Landing, in an attempt to get Cersei out of the capital. After the dead were defeated, he was horrified at the fate his sister would await back in the capital, so he went back to help her. He became the new Commander of the Lannister forces, but left his position in order to help the North face the Army of the Dead. Upon his return to the capital, he continued to serve as Lord Commander to Joffrey, and then to Tommen, but was dismissed from his position after a tense confrontation with the Faith Militant. During their travel, Jaime lost his right hand, and revealed the actual reasons why he murdered Aerys. Jaime was paired with Brienne of Tarth, whom Catelyn tasked to have him brought back to the capital. He came to an agreement with Catelyn Stark, who decided to release him on condition that her daughters would be safely returned to her. Following King Robert's death, he was appointed as the Lord Commander of the Kingsguard to his son, Joffrey.ĭuring the War of the Five Kings, Jaime fought for his house, but was captured by Robb Stark and kept prisoner. He was involved in an incestuous relationship with Cersei, and unknown to most, he was the biological father of her three bastard children, Joffrey, Myrcella, and Tommen, as well as her unborn child.ĭuring Robert's Rebellion, Jaime killed Aerys Targaryen, earning the derogatory nickname " Kingslayer." He was pardoned by Robert and allowed to serve in his Kingsguard.
Ser Jaime Lannister was the elder son of Lord Tywin Lannister, younger twin brother of Queen Cersei Lannister, and older brother of Tyrion Lannister. Only me." ―Jaime Lannister to Catelyn Stark
