Character background [edit]

Cersei is the only daughter and the eldest child of Tywin Lannister and his wife, Joanna; her twin brother, Jaime, was born soon afterwards Cersei. Cersei and Jaime looked so similar every bit children that Cersei occasionally wore Jaime'due south wearing apparel and was mistaken for him.^[1]

The twins experimented sexually at an early on historic period but were discovered past a servant, who informed their mother. Joanna tasked a guard to keep the twins separated and kept the thing a clandestine from their father, threatening the twins that she would inform him if they ever repeated information technology.^[ii]

Shortly afterwards, Joanna died giving birth to the twins' younger dwarf brother, Tyrion. Cersei blamed Tyrion for Joanna's death and started to abuse him as a baby.^[two] Martin said in Rolling Stone:

There'southward certainly a bang-up level of narcissism in Cersei. She has an almost sociopathic view of the world and civilization.^[3]

From the fourth dimension she was very young, Tywin hoped his daughter would marry Rhaegar Targaryen, and he rejected the Princess of Dorne's proposal to betroth Oberyn Martell and Elia Martell to Cersei and Jaime, respectively. Cersei became infatuated with Rhaegar; feelings she hid from her blood brother as her father advised her.^[4]

At the age of eleven, Jaime was sent away to serve equally a squire for Lord Sumner Crakehall.^[2] A year later, Aerys Targaryen rejected the proposal that Cersei marry his son, humiliating Tywin.^[4] Tywin took Cersei to King's Landing and, in the following years, refused every offering of union for her. In 281 Air conditioning, when Cersei and Jaime were 15, Jaime, newly knighted on the battlefield and on his way to Casterly Stone, came to King's Landing to visit his sister, from whom he had been separated for four years. She informed Jaime that their begetter planned to marry him to Lysa Tully and persuaded him to join the Kingsguard in order to be nearly her, after the twins had slept together for the beginning time.^[2] Thus started an matter that continued throughout Cersei's marriage to Robert Baratheon.

While she was initially happy about marrying Robert,^[five] he didn't return Cersei'due south angel and repeatedly cheated on her. She then resumed her incestuous affair with Jaime, resulting in the births of Joffrey, Myrcella, and Tommen.

During her teenage years, believing that her betrothal to Rhaegar would soon be announced, Cersei brought her companions Melara Hetherspoon and Jeyne Farman to a witch named Maggy the Frog. Jeyne was instantly frightened and left the tent. Cersei and Melara stayed and tried to get the witch to tell them a prophecy. In the face up of Cersei's threats, Maggy agreed to reply three questions. In response to those questions, Maggy told Cersei she would marry the king and non the prince, that she would exist overthrown by a younger and more beautiful queen, that Cersei'south children would die during Cersei's lifetime, and that the valonqar (High Valyrian for "little brother") would come to terminate her life.

Melara then asked if she would marry Jaime; Maggy answered that Melara wouldn't marry anyone and would die that dark. It is implied that Cersei killed the girl to preclude her from speaking of the prophecies and for having ideas above her social status.^[4] Cersei spends her entire adult life attempting to subvert the prophecy and develops a strong paranoia, which eventually causes the prophecy to come to fruition.

Storylines [edit]

Glaze of arms of House Lannister

A Game of Thrones [edit]

Robert, Cersei, and most of the court visit the Due north to appoint Eddard Stark (Ned) every bit Mitt of the King. During the royal visit to Winterfell, Ned's son Bran finds Cersei and Jaime committing incest in a belfry. To prevent their adultery and incest from being revealed, Jaime pushes Bran from the tower. Bran survives, but has no memory of the fall and is left paraplegic.

Ned eventually discovers the truth of Cersei's adultery and confronts her, giving her the opportunity to abscond into exile and thus spare her children certain execution. Cersei had already arranged Robert'south decease in a hunting "blow"; when he dies, Cersei seizes control as regent and has Eddard arrested for treason. Cersei intends for Ned to publicly confess and join the Night'southward Watch as penalty, only instead Joffrey orders him executed.

A Clash of Kings [edit]

Frustrated with Cersei's many political blunders as well as her failure to control Joffrey, Tywin appoints Tyrion Hand of the King, with explicit instructions to control Cersei and Joffrey. Once at the capital, Tyrion enters into a bitter power struggle with Cersei, subverting her authorisation and removing her supporters from positions of power.

In Jaime's absence, Cersei takes their cousin Lancel Lannister as her lover, an thing that Tyrion discovers. When Stannis Baratheon sails on King's Landing, Cersei and Joffrey stay enclosed in the Cherry-red Proceed, leaving Tyrion to mastermind the defense of the metropolis. Ultimately, Tywin and the Tyrell armies get in in time to force Stannis to retreat and save the city.

A Storm of Swords [edit]

Afterward formally assuming his position as Hand of the King, Tywin makes information technology clear to Cersei that she is no longer welcome at the pocket-size council meetings, de facto stripping her of political authority. Furthermore, Tywin intends to midweek Cersei to Willas Tyrell in order to form an alliance with House Tyrell. This state of affairs is shaken when Joffrey is poisoned at his nuptials feast. Maddened with grief at the loss of her eldest child, Cersei lashes out confronting Tyrion, accusing him of poisoning the rex out of revenge.

Cersei manipulates Tyrion's trial to ensure a guilty verdict, past bribing and intimidating witnesses. When Tyrion demands a trial by combat, Cersei selects the imposing Gregor Clegane, "The Mountain," as the Crown'south champion. The Mountain prevails, killing Tyrion'due south champion Oberyn Martell. Tywin then pronounces Tyrion guilty and sentences him to decease, but Tyrion escapes prison and kills Tywin. Cersei is once again in complete control of the upper-case letter.

A Banquet for Crows [edit]

With the deaths of her begetter and elder son, Cersei's youngest child, the 8-yr-former Tommen Baratheon, is crowned king, and Cersei rules the Seven Kingdoms every bit Queen Regent. Cersei's rule descends into a series of political and economic blunders due to her short atmosphere, egotism, and paranoia, greatly dissentious her relationship with Jaime and alienating allies such as Pycelle and Kevan Lannister. She defaults on debts to the Fe Bank of Braavos and to the Faith, assuasive the latter to rebuild its war machine orders in substitution for cancellation of the debt, and fills government posts with ineffective and untrustworthy cronies and sycophants. At the same time, the Tyrells begin to build power in the capital, much to Cersei's consternation.

Cersei is haunted by the prophecy of the valonqar, whom she considers Tyrion, so she promises a lordship to whoever brings her Tyrion's head. This, still, only leads to many wrongful executions throughout the realm. In an attempt to undermine the Tyrells, and release her son from his matrimony to Margaery Tyrell, Cersei attempts to frame Margaery for infidelity and treason. Notwithstanding, this plot backfires as the investigation into Margaery reveals prove of Cersei's own adultery and her complicity in Robert's death, resulting in her abort by the Faith. Cersei sends a letter to Jaime, asking him for help, merely he ignores her asking and burns her letter.

A Trip the light fantastic with Dragons [edit]

To gain release from her imprisonment, Cersei confesses to several of the lesser charges confronting her, including post-marital affairs, but does not confess to having murdered her married man King Robert, nor that her children are the production of incest. Cersei is nevertheless punished with a walk of atonement, forcing her to strip and walk naked through the capital in total view of the public.

With Cersei confined to the Crimson Keep awaiting trial, the realm is governed past Pycelle and Kevan. Nonetheless, at the nadir of Cersei's fortunes, Varys reappears at the capital and assassinates both Pycelle and Kevan, as their competent leadership threatened to undo the damage Cersei's misrule had done.

Cersei Lannister is played by Lena Headey in the television adaption of the book serial.

In October 2014, Headey and several other key cast members, all contracted for six seasons of the series, renegotiated their deals to include a potential seventh flavour and salary increases for seasons 5, half dozen, and seven.^{[6] [7]} The Hollywood Reporter called the raises "huge", noting that the bargain would make the performers "among the highest-paid actors on cable TV".^[vi] Deadline Hollywood put the number for season 5 at "close to $300,000 an episode" for each actor,^[7] and The Hollywood Reporter wrote in June 2016 that the performers would each exist paid "upward of $500,000 per episode" for flavour vii and the potential season eight.^[8] In 2017, Headey became one of the highest paid actors on tv and will earn £2 million per episode for the testify.^{[9] [10]}

Storylines [edit]

Much of Cersei's storyline from the first and second seasons in the television series is unchanged from the books. However, a notable change in the show is Joffrey'southward authorising the purge of Robert's bastards, rather than Cersei.

Flavor 1 [edit]

Cersei learns that her hubby Robert is in danger of finding out that the children he sees as his heirs to the throne are not his.^[11] Robert meets his end as the result of a boar assail on a hunting trip, before Ned Stark tells him the truth about his children. Cersei works quickly to instate her oldest son, Joffrey, on the throne, with her as his chief political advisor and Queen Regent.^[12] Joffrey, all the same, quickly shows signs of independence.

Season ii [edit]

Tywin decides that Cersei does non exercise enough control over her son and sends Tyrion as an boosted political advisor. Cersei and Tyrion exercise not go along, and constantly try to undermine each other'south authorisation over the crown. Equally of the end of season 2, Tyrion has accumulated more sway over the Atomic number 26 Throne, has shipped Cersei's merely daughter off against Cersei's will to be married to the Prince of Dorne, and is forcing their cousin Lancel, with whom Cersei is having an affair, to inform on her. Tywin's arrival with the Tyrell ground forces robs both siblings of their influence at the last possible moment.

Season 3 [edit]

Cersei comes to fear that Margaery Tyrell intends to usurp her as queen and unsuccessfully tries to alienate Joffrey from her. When Tywin learns of the Tyrells' plan to wed Sansa Stark to Margaery's brother Loras, he intervenes past having Tyrion ally Sansa instead. Cersei is delighted but her joy turns to acrimony when Tywin also orders her to marry Loras. When Jaime returns to Rex's Landing, he immediately seeks out Cersei, who is shocked to discover that his sword hand has been cutting off.

Flavour four [edit]

Cersei has Tyrion arrested subsequently Joffrey is fatally poisoned. Mourning and vindictive, it'southward implied that guilty or innocent, she wants Tyrion dead, while Jaime refuses to believe Tyrion is capable of familial regicide.^[thirteen] Indeed, at Tyrion'south trial, it is apparent Cersei has manipulated the proceedings so that the witnesses give either incomplete or entirely false testimonies to implicate Tyrion and Sansa further in the murder. When Tyrion demands a trial by gainsay, Cersei chooses Ser Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane every bit majestic champion, to further diminish Tyrion's chances, and bribes Bronn via betrothal to a noblewoman, to secure his veto equally Tyrion's champion. Cersei's wish comes truthful when Tyrion'due south champion, Oberyn Martell, is killed by Clegane. She nonetheless refuses to marry Loras, threatening even to reveal the truth of her incestuous human relationship with Jaime and their 3 blond children. Tywin is killed by an escaping Tyrion soon afterward.

Flavor five [edit]

Cersei receives a threat from Dorne, where Myrcella is betrothed to Trystane Martell, and sends Jaime to Dorne to retrieve her. Tommen is married to Margaery, who tries to manipulate Tommen into sending Cersei to Casterly Rock. Fearful of losing her ability, Cersei meets the religious leader, the Loftier Sparrow, appoints him as the High Septon, and gives him authority to re-establish the Faith Militant. In order to destabilise House Tyrell, Cersei arranges for the High Sparrow to arrest Loras for his homosexuality, and have Margaery also arrested for perjury afterward lying to defend Loras. However, Cersei'due south plot backfires when Lancel, now a member of the Faith Militant, confesses to his thing with Cersei and his role in Robert'due south assassination, and accuses Cersei of incest, prompting the High Sparrow to arrest her. Cersei is eventually allowed to render to the Reddish Go along after confessing to having committed adultery with Lancel, but has her pilus cut off and is forced to walk naked through the streets of Male monarch'southward Landing as atonement. Cersei returns, distraught from the abuse directed at her by the smallfolk of King's Landing, but is consoled by Qyburn's successful reanimation of Ser Gregor Clegane.^[xiv]

Flavor 6 [edit]

Cersei remains in the Cherry Continue, confined to her chambers and stripped of her authorisation. Although she accepts Tommen's apology for his lack of action in her abort and walk of atonement, she remains looked down upon by other members of the courtroom. Cersei learns from Tommen that the High Sparrow plans to have Margaery practice a walk of atonement before Cersei's trial and conspires with the Pocket-sized Council to accept the Tyrell ground forces march on the Sept of Baelor to secure Margaery'southward and Loras' release. Their plan backfires when it is revealed that Margaery has joined the Organized religion of the Seven and has convinced Tommen to merge the Faith and the Crown. Despite existence stripped of her allies, Cersei opts to remain in King'south Landing, having named Ser Gregor as her champion in her trial past combat. All the same, Tommen announces that trial by combat has been abolished and replaced by trial by the Seven. Cersei arranges for a cache of wildfire to be detonated below the Sept during Loras' trial, which kills the High Sparrow, Margaery, Loras, and the residuum of the Small-scale Council. As a result of Cersei's actions, Tommen commits suicide. In the power vacuum following Tommen's expiry, Cersei claims the Fe Throne every bit the offset queen regnant of the Vii Kingdoms.^[fifteen]

Flavor 7 [edit]

Despite nominally being ruler of Westeros, Cersei'due south grip on the throne is tenuous, with the Riverlands in upheaval following Arya Stark's massacre of House Frey, the Vale and the Due north'due south announcement of Ned Stark's bastard son Jon Snowfall Rex in the North, and Tyrion, Yara Greyjoy, Dorne, and the Reach all supporting Daenerys Targaryen, whose fleet has seized Dragonstone. Cersei remains cold and distant afterwards Tommen's suicide, viewing information technology as a betrayal of their family unit. With no children left to protect, Cersei'south malice and vindictiveness take grown, and she relentlessly seeks to expand her power and destroy her enemies. Cersei reaches out to the Male monarch of the Iron Islands, Euron Greyjoy, to form an alliance, only rejects Euron'south marriage proposal as she considers him untrustworthy. Euron later on ambushes Daenerys' armada and captures Yara Greyjoy, Ellaria, and Tyene Sand, and presents them as a "gift" to Cersei. She agrees to marry Euron afterwards the war is won; however, she continues her affair with Jaime, no longer attempting to hide their relationship from their servants. Cersei imprisons Ellaria and Tyene in the dungeons, kills Tyene with the same poison used to kill Myrcella, and keeps Ellaria live to watch her girl die and decompose.

Tycho Nestoris of the Atomic number 26 Bank arrives in King'due south Landing to asking repayment of their debt. Cersei requests a fortnight in social club to comply. She and so has the Lannister and Tarly armies attack Highgarden, defeating the Tyrells. Olenna Tyrell commits suicide post-obit the defeat and gloats to Jaime that she was responsible for poisoning Joffrey. The Tyrells' wealth is transported safely to King's Landing, but the food the Lannisters steal from the Attain is destroyed when Daenerys attacks the caravan with her Dothraki horde and dragon, Drogon. Jaime barely survives the battle and encourages Cersei to consider a ceasefire.

Tyrion infiltrates the capital to run across with Jaime, and Jaime tells Cersei that Daenerys and Jon want to run into with Cersei to negotiate an armistice while mankind fights the threat of the White Walkers. Cersei is skeptical but agrees, and tells Jaime that she is pregnant. Daenerys and Jon encounter with Cersei in the Dragonpit on the outskirts of Male monarch'south Landing, and present to her a wight captured from the White Walkers as evidence of their threat. Although terrified, Cersei initially refuses to agree to an armistice, as Jon refuses to remain neutral in the war betwixt the Lannisters and Targaryens. Tyrion speaks to Cersei in private, and apparently persuades her to ally with the rival monarchs. However, she subsequently reveals to Jaime that she intends for her enemies to wipe each other out and then set on the victor, and has sent Euron to Essos to ship the Aureate Visitor to Westeros. Disgusted by Cersei's selfishness and shortsightedness, Jaime finally abandons her side and goes north on his own, leaving Cersei alone.

Season 8 [edit]

Cersei is informed that the White Walkers have breached the Wall, to her please. Euron Greyjoy returns to Male monarch'southward Landing with the Golden Company, and Cersei finally has sex with him. Cersei tasks Qyburn with hiring Bronn to kill Jaime and Tyrion, using the crossbow with which Tyrion had killed Tywin.

Cersei permits civilians to seek refuge in the Red Continue – ostensibly to protect them from an invasion of King's Landing, but in reality she plans to use them as human shields to deter an assault. The Iron Armada kills one of Daenerys' dragons, Rhaegal, and takes her counselor Missandei captive. When Euron returns to King'southward Landing, Cersei reveals that she is significant and lies that it is his. Daenerys, Tyrion, and her other advisors travel to King's Landing demanding Cersei's surrender, but Cersei is unmoved and has the Mount behead Missandei in front end of Daenerys. Daenerys subsequently launches an attack on the Iron Fleet, the Carmine Keep, and the anti-dragon defenses Cersei has had installed on Rex's Landing's walls, but and then continues to fire the rest of the city. Cersei attempts to have shelter and is found past Jaime, who had infiltrated the Cherry-red Go along on Tyrion's orders to evacuate her. However, their passage is blocked past rubble. The Red Continue begins to plummet, and Jaime comforts Cersei in their final moments as they are crushed by falling debris. Their bodies are later on institute by Tyrion, whose subsequent grief leads him to renounce his loyalty to Daenerys and persuade Jon Snowfall to impale her.

Lena Headey received much critical praise for her portrayal of Cersei.^[eighteen] James Hibberd of Entertainment Weekly stated that from the outset flavor, Headey "perfectly delivered Cersei's uniquely toxic mix of pride, vindictiveness, impatience, cunning, and spite" and Cersei "has never been anything less than a fully realized character."^[18] The New York Times 's Jeremy Egner remarked that Headey "has always been one of the strongest performers on the prove."^[nineteen] In The New Yorker, Clive James wrote that she is a "beautiful expression of capricious terror, combining shapely grace with limitless evil in just the correct measure to scare a man to death while rendering him helpless with desire", praising the depth to which Heady "beams Cersei'southward radiant malevolence" into the viewer'southward listen "that she reawakens a determinative disturbance".^[xx] Andrew Anthony in The Guardian opined that the series was "most often at its best when Headey was on screen and radiating cold calculation and ruthless intrigue." He described Headey's Cersei equally "a study in tyranny as a seductive art. There was something magnetically human nearly her inhumanity. You lot were drawn to her devious charms fifty-fifty equally you recoiled from her brutal deeds."^[21] George R. R. Martin, author of the novels, praised Headey in the role, remarking that Cersei is "a character with many colors" and Headey's range is instrumental. Martin regarded Headey equally a "very sympathetic actress ... a different actress wouldn't be able to sell information technology", and called her portrayal of Cersei "marvelous".^{[22] [23] [24]}
