Tywin Lannister is a man of great ambition and a man that is extremely prideful. If Tywin Lannister were to have a fault it would be Pride.
Pride was what fueled him in pursuing the Lannister name. He had fought to make the Lannister name worth its weight in gold after his father tytos Lannister sure had tarnished it and nearly brought the destruction of his house.
Tywin was most certainly a man that was not he crossed in a man that people listen to. Whether it was for fear or out of respect their reasons for loyalty it was obvious that Tywin was the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms.
It was under his hand while he was hand of the king that he made sure everything fell into place. Many said that he was the true king as he was the one who pulled the strings behind the man who sat on the throne. Tywin Lannister was a man of cunning skill and intelligence.
He demanded respect and above all else he demanded that his family earned the same respect that he himself had over the years.
But the problem was was that his children or this grace. His children would never amount to the Statue of which he had earned for himself.
He feared for his house and knew that if things did not change House Lannister would indeed fall victim again of disgrace and would never be taken seriously again.
Not only were his children a disgrace but he had no valuable heirs. Nobody that could truly lead Casterly Rock back into the greatness that it once stood for if not for his family before him and himself.
So the great and mighty Tywin Lannister was at a problem.
Tywin needed an heir that could prove their worth. An heir that could restore the tarnished name that would no doubt come to the Lannisters after his death.
But the fact of the matter was he had no wife. She had died in childbirth to his bastard of a son Tyrion and he would never see fit to put Tyrion as Lord of Casterly Rock.
So when news spread that there was a Lannister bastard in a town half a days ride from Lannisport it struck Tywin's interest.
Who could this person be and how much could they look like any Lannister in order to actually be called a Lannister bastard?
Tywin needed to know.
He ordered one hundred silver coins to anyone who had any information on the so called 'Lannister bastard'. He figured that if nothing else if the person that was claimed to be wasn't worth a damn he could always put them to work in the mines below the Rock.
