clothing;

Tytus is most often seen wearing rich silks and crushed velvet befitting his high birthed status, he generally opts for a darker spectrum of colours such as deep wine like reds accented by bright gold. It is not uncommon to see him in martial dress consisting of a mail coat, bracers and greaves while also wearing a dark red cloak. In either case it is rare indeed to find Tytus without his longsword or in places where wearing such would be unacceptable a dagger at the very least concealed in his left sleeve.

When heading in to battle Tytus wears full plate armour coloured a dark crimson and adorned with golden decoration including golden lion heads on his pauldrons and gauntlets, over this he wears a wine red surcoat sporting a rampant golden lion to signify House Lannister.

oddities; Though Tytus has received several battle scars throughout his life the most prominent is one he received during a joust at age seventeen where he was pierced through the shoulder by his opponent's lance.

Tytus has also been known to suffer from brief albeit intense seizures which have plagued him since his early adulthood as well as involuntary tremors of his hand and arm all of which manifest most often in times of heightened emotional stress, but which require no specific triggers, they are simply more likely to occur in such times. He goes to great lengths to conceal this from other people, so much that only his closest servants and most trusted Bannermen know he has such a condition.

History; The second born son of Tyren Lannister, Tytus was raised for his first few years in his ancestral home of Casterly Rock but upon reaching his sixth year was fostered in King's Landing by House Baratheon as a sign of House Lannister's enduring fealty. While there he met and grew progressively closer to King Tommen IV, while at the same time being so far away from his family birthed a considerable degree of resentment between himself and his father. The upside of his being fostered in King's Landing was that he received only the finest care and education as one of many young charges of the King. Growing up alongside the intrigues of court gave him a sense for as well as a particular talent for manipulating the motions of what many call the 'game of thrones,' but the manner in which his family was spoken of and regarded in the capital gave him a certain disdain for court life that manifests as a certain irreverence for it to this very day. Needless to say as he grew older it was more often than not that those who spoke against the Lannisters soon met with scandal or disfavour and soon excused themselves from King's Landing, because as everyone knows: a Lannister always pays his debts.

Upon reaching the age of eight Tytus became a Page and later a Squire at thirteen. All through his apprenticeship he continued to be a regular figure at court despite holding little actual power outside of what duties were assigned him, he became something of an ear to the ground for Tommen and The Hand to be able to hear what the nobles were rumbling about from one week to the next.

At the age of 17 he was formally knighted, being anointed with the seven oils at the Great Sept before walking barefoot to the King's hall where he was knighted by the King himself. If nothing else were to signify that House Lannister had gained the favour and trust of the crown then that would be it. It was at that years joust to mark the King's name day which Tytus received the rather distinctive cavernous scar on his left shoulder when his opponent's lance head was rigged to shatter, impaling the young Lannister before unhorsing him. Thanks to the Maester's timely and skilful intervention the arm was saved and maintained much of its functionality even if it would cause Tytus a great deal of pain by putting him at the mercy of the weather. The perpetrators were rounded up by The Hand and were sent to The Wall before the sun had set that day. Though his ability to ride and fight remained largely unimpaired, Tytus has yet to tilt again even to this day.

In Tytus' eighteenth year he received news that his elder brother Lanzo had been taken from the land around Deep Den by brigands. The men, lead by a bastard son of Lord Lydden had intended to amass coin by ransoming hostages before raising an army to overthrow a hold and elevate their leader to nobility. Now with a Lannister in their power they knew that retribution would be forthcoming, but feared to release Lanzo even as a gesture of goodwill for fear that he was the only thing which would keep them alive. Begging leave to go and recover him, Tytus returned to Casterly Rock to find his father deliberating on whether to treat with the brigands or to march on them and risk his son's life. Seeing that to do nothing was an act which would be viewed as weak Tytus rode out with nothing but a personal bodyguard and hounded the rebels out of Deep Den, in the mountainous Western countryside the bandits were able to avoid the riders on foot for the longest time.

When Tytus finally caught up to the marauders and faced them over the Red Fork they threatened Lanzo's life again in an attempt to secure their safe passage into the Riverlands where the Lannisters influence would not be able to find them. In response Lanzo, as Heir of Casterly Rock, ordered his brother to cross the river and kill every man whom they found there. Reluctantly Tytus did so and Lanzo was indeed killed in the confusion of the charge and after recovering his beloved elder brother's body from the murky waters Tytus flew in to a rage, ordering that any prisoners be executed on the spot. Afterwards as he took Lanzo's remains back to Casterly Rock he displayed the bodies of the vanquished rebels along the River Road, hanging placards about their necks with the words “Hear Me Roar” written upon them.

From there he then marched to Deep Den, making hostages of the Lord's children to prevent further upstarts in future. Though he blamed Lord Lydden indirectly for his brother's death he was not unkind to his charges eventually making the boy his Squire before raising him to Knighthood and marrying both him and his sister Lord Lydden's daughter off to two of the Lannisters of Lannisport. Though the move was calculated to keep both of them within easy reach even in their adulthood it did quite a bit to enhance the prestige and wealth of House Lydden. As a direct result the hold was returned to its former glory and its allegiance now lay firmly with Tytus Lannister.

Seeing that his son had won over the trust of not only House Lydden, but the other Western Houses as well and being still in mourning for his eldest, Lord Tyren abdicated his rule of Casterly Rock to Tytus upon his nineteenth year and died the following Winter.
