Tywin Lannister
The head of the richest house in the Seven Kingdoms. Former hand of the king, and a man of lethal ambition.
Where is he from?
Tywin Lanister is a character from the fantasy book series A Song of Ice and Fire. He's the father of the three Lanister children, all of them incredibly important characters, and his own ambitions for power permeate almost everything his children do. Their actions essentially drive the entire plot, making his looming presense core to the entire story. Brilliantly, the Game of Thrones series cast Charles Dance in the role, who instantly nailed it.
