Westeros Notorious Rulers and Families

Gerion Lannister

Gerion was also known as Uncle Gery, son of Tytos Lannister and Jeyne Marbrand, born 255 AC.

Gerion had the lover Briony, they had a bastard Joy Hill.

Targaryen Era: Gerion was born at Casterly Rock in 255 AC, the fifth child and fourth son of Tytos Lannister, Lord of Casterly Rock, and his wife, Lady Jeyne Marbrand. He was healthy, but his mother died within a month of his birth. Though Tytos was greatly saddened by the death of his wife, he soon became enamored of Gerion's wet nurse and made her his first mistress. Like his brothers, Kevan and Tygett, Gerion was overshadowed by their older brother, Tywin. While Kevan built up a life at Tywin's side, and Tygett tried to be independent, Gerion mocked this "game" and made jokes. Gerion's relationship with his eldest brother was notoriously stormy. At sixteen, Gerion visited the Free Cities on his coming-of-age tour. Gerion once gifted Tyrion on his name day with the books Wonders and Wonders Made by Man by Lomas Longstrider and often had Tyrion recite the sixteen wonders of the world. Once when Tyrion was young, he begged his uncle for a dragon for his name day present, which Gerion found hilarious. Gerion also taught Tyrion some tumbling tricks when he was six or seven, and would praise his skills.

In 276 AC, Gerion participated in the tournament in honor of Viserys's birth at Lannisport, but he was unhorsed by Prince Rhaegar Targaryen.

Baratheon Era: Robert's Rebellion put an end to the rule of House Targaryen over Westeros and the young Lord of Storm's End, Robert Baratheon took the Iron Throne. To solidify his rule, Robert married Gerion's niece, Cersei Lannister. Gerion offered a gilded dagger with an ivory grip and a sapphire pommel as a wedding gift to the new king.

In 288 AC, Gerion had a bastard daughter named Joy Hill, whose mother was a common woman named Briony.

Circa 291 AC, Gerion went on a quest to find House Lannister's ancestral Valyrian steel greatsword, Brightroar, and any other treasures that might have survived the Doom of Valyria. Almost a decade passed after his ship, the Laughing Lion, left Lannisport, but Gerion never returned. Lord Tywin sent men to look for his lost brother and they traced him as far as Volantis, where half his crew had deserted him because of his intent to sail into the Smoking Sea. He had been forced to buy slaves to replace them.
