Tyrion Lannister is part of the powerful Lannister family. His mother died giving birth to him, and for this reason, his father and older sister Cersei detest him. His closest friend is his brother Jamie, who protected him when they were children. Tyrion is probably the most intelligent Lannister; he is shrewd and cunning and able to see the bigger picture. He tries to do the right thing, whilst still acting in the interest of him and his family. He isn’t as brutal as his sister and does wants to try to make society a better place. He has a penchant for women and drinking.
