Appearance Edit

In his youth, Tytos wore his long golden hair in a ponytail and kept himself clean shaven. As he aged he grew a well maintained beard and chose to keep his hair unrestrained. He has a pair of green eyes, typical of a Lannister and now walks with a cane, though it is just for show and he is perfectly capable to walking unassisted.

History Edit

Born the first child of Ser Tommen Lannister, Tytos grew up in Casterly Rock. His father became Lord in 49 AC when his grandfather Lyman passed away from a fever. As heir to the Rock, Tytos received all the necessary tutelage that was befit for his station. While he excelled in various matters of statecraft, economics, and tactics, he was never much of a fighter. He could hold his own in the training yards, but he was by far the worst fighter between his brothers Stafford and Damion.

Still, he was knighted by Ser Androw Swyft, the Master at Arms of Casterly Rock on his seven and tenth name day. In 63 AC, he was married to Lady Myranda Marbrand. Lady Myranda had been a handmaiden to Tytos' sister Ellyn and her father had arranged the marriage with Lord Tommen, who agreed to the match. The following year the couple's first son Jason was born. Four more children would follow: Joffrey, Marissa, Jocasta, and Damon.

In 74 AC, his father would throw a tourney for the marriage of his sister Johanna Lannister and Ser Adrian Farman, one of the men who had accompanied his brother in his travels and returned Brightroar to the Lannisters. This tourney would become known as the Tourney of Unveiling, as Lord Tommen would have his three sons present the refurbished sword to the crowd with a grand ceremony.

Tytos would inherit Casterly Rock in 78 AC when his father passed away after collapsing on the stairs up to his bedroom from his nightly snack in the kitchens. As Lord of Casterly Rock, he would continue to rule the Westerlands while keeping watchful eyes on the Iron Islands to the east, as their independence meant that reaving was once again an issue that the West had to deal with. In addition to this, the rule of King Rhaegar Targaryen was taxing on the West in general. Tytos stayed away from the politics of King's Landing for the most part, not wanting to have his House suddenly be the focal point of the next scandal.

In 81 AC, Tytos was looking for betrothals for his son Jason, and after several moons of negotiations, managed to secure Lady Cersei Tully as the match for his son, giving him sudden influence in the Riverlands. The following year he married his son Joffrey to Lady Ella Reyne which coincided with his first grandsons, the twins Tybolt and Tyran being born from the union of Jason and Cersei.

During his rule, Tytos also sought to bring closer ties to House Tyrell and the Reach, something his father started with the marriage of his sister Ellyn to the then heir of Highgarden, Gareth Tyrell. He married his daugther Marissa to House Tarly, securing more ties within the powerful lords of the Reach.

In 93 AC, King Rhaegar passed away and his son Viserys Taragryen inherited the Iron Throne. As the new king sat the Iron Throne, many made their way to King’s Landing to do homage to the new king. During the feast that followed the coronation, the King was heard making drunken remarks about the “golden haired shits” of House Lannister prancing around the hall accompanied by the “Golden Roses worming their way into the smallclothes of anyone that would let them”. Many other comments about the other Great Houses were made, from the “Fox Eared Florents” to the “Foul smelling Sistermen” to the “Uptight Hightower”, and even the “Dondarrions who smell nearly as Dornish as the Red Mountains”. Throughout the night he was heard to speak of how each and every house was disposable against the might of House Targaryen. Some were offended and some chose to let the slights pass. The King seemed to almost hold open contempt for the subject that now knelt to him.

Furious at the open mockery of their houses Lord Gwayne Tyrell and Lord Tytos met in secret meetings at Old Oak following the coronation celebration to discuss the ongoing situation of the realm and reached an accord. The death of the other dragons and the flightless state of Balerion the Dread was enough to encourage the two men to come to the conclusion that now was the time to rise up against the Targaryens. The two reaffirmed the pact made between the Reach and the West when Aegon the Conqueror came to Westeros, but this time there was only one dragon and was unable to fly. The Dragon would crumble before the might of the alliance.

And so the Rosegold Rebellion began. Lord Tytos would lead the Westerlands troops from Deep Den down the Gold Road, defeating the forces of the Riverlords at the Battle of Tumbler's Fall and the Battle of the Gold Road. His cousin Tygett would perish during the Battle of the Gold Road, while his sons distinguished themselves admirably during the war.

He would then march upon the capital and besiege it, while the majority of the Royal Forces were in the Reach along with the Stormlords. Assaulting the city, they managed to break through the Old Gate, which was actually part of the defensive strategy of Lord Gunthor Arryn, and fought their way through the city, burning and looting their way through it. His son Joffrey would slay Lord Corbray only to be wounded by his son Lucion as they stormed the city. As they closed in for the kill, the army moved to the Dragonpit, where they hoped that they could kill the now grounded Balerion the Black Dread. The Storming of the Dragonpit, as it came to be known as, was an utter disaster for the Westermen, as Balerion bathed them in fire as they tore down the doors of the pit. House Lannister of Lannisport was extinguished when Lord Tyrion Lannister and his sons were all killed by the Dread. With the fires of Balerion bathing the Westermen, chaos reigned and the defenders of the Red Keep sallied forth and slowly but surely drove them out of the city.

With the failure to take King's Landing and the approach of the Royal Army from the south after their retreat from Bitterbridge following their inability to defeat the Reachmen, the future was uncertain until an envoy from King Viserys arrived. What followed was called The Golden Truce by the Maesters and Bards. Among the contents of the Truce, Lord Tytos was named to the Small Council as Master of Ships by King Viserys. In addition to this, he named his cousin Tygett's son Lancel as the new Lord of Lannisport, following the death of the male Lannisport line. Though he wanted the Master of Coin position, he agreed and left his son Jason at Casterly Rock and traveled to King's Landing with his sons Joffrey and Damon and his grandchildren.

With the death of Balerion the Black Dread, Tytos continued his tenure as Master of Ships and when Gwayne Tyrell had Lucien Hightower arrest Lord Uthor Peake, the young Master of Laws was arrested. Gwayne himself arrived at King's Landing and was arrested himself. Requesting a Trial By Combat, Gwayne was thrown in the dungeons as word of his brothers killing a Rowan in Highgarden. The realm came together to depose the rest of the Tyrell brothers, including Tytos' own goodbrother. Highgarden had fallen by the time the troops of the Westerlands arrived and they joined the Crown army in marching on Oldtown, where Lord Hightower eventually surrendered.

As they were camped outside Oldtown, Tytos arranged for his grandson Tybolt to be betrothed to Princess Alysella Targaryen and for his other grandson Tyran to squire under Lord Gunthor Arryn at the Eyrie. Things would not go to plan as upon returning to King's Landing, Lord Gunthor was killed by the City Watch in a dubious scuffle and Agnes Tully proclaimed herself Queen of the Trident, while in the Iron Islands, Sigrun Blacktyde took the Isles for herself. Unbeknownst to Tytos, his son Jason treated with the Iron Queen and offered the ships of the Rock in aid against the Crown, through feigning them being stolen in a raid.

After the battle off the Arbor failed the Ironborn, King Viserys brough Jason up on charges of High Treason and after a lengthy trial, Jason called for a Trial by Combat. He faced against Ser Garlan Roxton of the Kingsguard and was defeated, taking the Black in lieu of losing his head. His son Tybolt was named Heir of the Rock and the marriage was upheld. Tytos would remain at the Rock for the rest of his life, passing away in 115 AC following a prolonged illness as the Cobbler Rebellion spilled over into the Westerlands.
