Tywin Lannister |
Hand of the King to his grandson Joffrey, Tywin Lannister temporarily yielded the position to his son Tyrion while fighting in the field against Robb Stack. As Hand to Aerys Targaryen and the richest man in Westeros, Tywin was considered a threat by the Mad King. Although now grown, Tywin's children are still in awe of him and defer to his counsel.
"Probably the most power man in the seven Kingdoms. Certainly the richest."—Tywin Lannister

Cersei Lannister |
Cersei is the only daughter of Tywin Lannister, the richest man in the seven Kingdoms. Even before she was married off to Robert Baratheon, she was involved in an incestuous relationship with her twin Jaime, the only sibling she cares for. With her son Joffery reiging as king and her father Tywin now serving as his hand, Cersei is finding her power eclipsed.
"Love is a weakness. Love no noe but your children."—Cersei Baratheon

Jaime Lannister |
Jaime is twin to Queen Cersei. A celebrated knight and member of the Kingsguard, his reputation as "The Kingskiller" dogs him: It was he who slew the Mad King, in violation of his oath to protect the royal family. Robb Stark took him prisoner (twice), but Catelyn Stark, anxious to trade him for her daughters, set him free.
"There are no man like me. Only me."—Jaime Lannister

Tyrion Lannister |
A dwarf, Tyrion is considered an embarrassment to his House and the fact that his mother died during his birth has no endeared him to his father. What Tyrion lack in size and strength, he makes up for in mental acuity; he loyalty to House Lannister and the good of the Seven Kingdoms is unquestioned. He served as Hand of the King in his father's absence, and although few know it, it was Tyrion who hatched the plan that saved King's Landing from Stannis Baratheon's attack.
"A very small man can cast a very large shadow."— Varys
