Halfman
Tywin and Joanna’s youngest child benefits from Lannister wealth while facing hostility within his family. As acting Hand, he helps organize the defense of King’s Landing, but victory does not secure his position.

Stannis Baratheon's fleet and army assaulted King's Landing. Tyrion Lannister's wildfire chain trap destroyed much of the fleet, and a last-minute relief force led by Tywin Lannister and Mace Tyrell shattered Stannis's army. The battle saved Joffrey's crown and cemented the Lannister-Tyrell alliance.
Role: accused
King Joffrey Baratheon was poisoned at his own wedding feast to Margaery Tyrell. He died choking in his mother's arms. The murder was orchestrated by Olenna Redwyne and Petyr Baelish, who used Sansa Stark as an unwitting courier for the poison hidden in her hairnet.
