Shortly after Tyrion's birth, the Princess of Dorne arrived with her consort and two younger children, Elia and Oberyn Martell. King Aerys II Targaryen stated that Tyrion was a punishment for Tywin's arrogance, and the same was said by begging brothers in Oldtown, stating that Tywin had made himself greater than the king, which was only allowed by a god. It was said that Tyrion's birth was an omen to famine, plague and war, and the smallfolk named him 'Lord Tywin's Doom' and 'Lord Tywin's Bane'. Tales about Tyrion were spread immediately after his birth At Oldtown, it was said that Tyrion was a monster, with a tail, monstrous huge head, thick black hair, a beard, an evil eye, lion's claws, with teeth so long he was not able to close his mouth, and both male and female genitals. Joanna died giving birth to him, and as a result his father blames him for her death. Tyrion was born in 273В AC as the third-born child to Lord Tywin and Lady Joanna Lannister. Tywin felt this brought more shame on their house, further deteriorating their relationship. Believing that no girl could ever truly love him for who he was, he began to seek his pleasure with prostitutes. Tyrion was crushed, and the memory of her has long haunted him. ДЄt a young age, Tyrion married Tysha, a commoner, but eventually Jaime told him the girl was a whore he had paid to take Tyrion's virginity. Tyrion's older brother Jaime was the only one who ever treated Tyrion with love and affection and for this Tyrion believed he would forgive his brother for anything. Cersei has always identified Tyrion as her valonqar and has thus been determined to rid herself of him ever since. The prophecy claimed that a valonqar ( High Valyrian for 'little brother') would eventually end her life. Unbeknownst to Tyrion, Cersei also despises him largely because of a prophecy made to her when she was a young girl.

Tywin has never forgiven him for Joanna's death. His deformity and the fact that his mother Joanna died at his birth are two of the reasons that his father Tywin and sister Cersei despise him. He craves for love and respect from his family, but does not have a good relationship with all his family members. His deformity is the cause of many problems and persecution, although mitigated to some extent by his high social standing and his family's wealth and power. Tyrion generally receives little respect and is often mocked. Tyrion has stated that what he lacks in size and strength he makes up for in mental acuity. Even though he is no warrior, he has been trained at arms and shows great bravery in battle. Tyrion is intelligent, well educated, and a ferocious reader. Tyrion's unique stare has been said to make people uncomfortable, which he tries to use to his advantage. He has some strands of black hair, however, and if he grows a beard it is yellow, white, and black. Tyrion's thin hair is fair and flaxen, so blond it can appear white. He has mismatched eyes of green and black, so rumors spread that he has an 'evil eye'. Tyrion is a dwarf with stunted legs, stubby fingers, and a jutting forehead. In the television adaptation Game of Thrones, Tyrion is played by Peter Dinklage. He is one of the major POV characters in the books.

Tyrion is a dwarf because of this he is sometimes called the Imp and the Halfman. His older siblings are Cersei Lannister, the queen of King Robert I Baratheon, and Ser Jaime Lannister, a knight of Robert's Kingsguard. Tyrion Lannister is a member of House Lannister and is the third and youngest child of Lord Tywin Lannister and the late Lady Joanna Lannister.
