The former made a real impact on his return to the Iron Islands, by pushing him off a rope bridge and claiming the Salt Throne for himself. In the show, King Balon has two brothers, the wild and sociopathic Euron Greyjoy, and the sour-faced priest Aeron Greyjoy. When he was eventually reunited with his big sister Yara, Theon was half the man he’d been before thanks to Ramsay’s penchant for gruesome torture and lopping off different body parts. This backfired badly for the youngest Greyjoy, however, and he ended up a prisoner of the sadistic Ramsay Bolton. When he eventually returned the Iron Islands, Theon attempted to prove his worth to his father by attacking Winterfell, the castle that had been his home.

Not wanting the Iron Islands to be ruled by a stooge of Winterfell, Balon groomed Yara to be his heir. This left Balon with only daughter Yara for company. As punishment and to ensure Balon’s good behaviour, youngest son Theon was sent to be fostered by Ned Stark. King Balon had four children, but his two eldest sons died when the family rebelled against King Robert Baratheon. The Greyjoys are a hardy bunch of seafarers who live on the Iron Islands. However, some fans have pointed out that Jaime is also technically her younger brother, so could finally turn on his twins. Of course, Tyrion is the littlest of the Lannister brothers both in age and physical stature, so Cersei has always assumed he will be her murderer. The valonqar means “little brother” in Valyrian. Cersei asked the crone if she would have any children, and the reply was that she would have three, but they would all die: “And when your tears have drowned you, the valonqar shall wrap his hands about your pale white throat and choke the life from you.” She has also lived in fear of a prophecy she heard as child from the sorceress Maggy the Frog. Relations between the two finally reached breaking point when Tyrion shot his father on the privy.Ĭersei has always despised her youngest brother, blaming him for the death of their mother in childbirth. Tywin Lannister always showed a certain level of contempt for his youngest son, embarrassed by his deformities and penchant for debauchery. Not all of the Lannister clan are quite as close as Jaime and Cersei, though.
