Tywin may have never told him until after the fact.He's the Ned to Tywin's Bryden...but where's Brynden's hot and wolfy, Tywin is cold and brutalHe supports Tywin in everything, and Tywin is a monster. To outsiders he may have appeared as just a Yes-Man but he has otherwise demonstrated enough intelligence that I expect he was a valued counselor to Tywin in private. Lancel has a good and genuinely warm relationship with his father Kevan, as well as with his mother and younger siblings.
He still remained timid and cowardly when someone with the means to push back did so; for example, he fell to pieces when Tyrion responded to his attempts at intimidation by guessing at Lancel's dalliance with Cersei and threatening to inform Joffrey of it. When Joffrey had Ser Meryn Trant beat Sansa Stark in public, Lancel callously recited Robb Stark's recent victory against a Lannister army, making no attempt to shield Sansa from harm despite knowing she was playing no role in House Stark's rebellion against the Crown. But I have certain incomes, and chests of coin set aside. Underrated character, to be sure. * This week, we're talking about one of the only few good Lannisters, Ser Kevan! She is the daughter of Lord Tywin Lannister, twin sister and lover of Ser Jaime Lannister, and the older sister and arch-nemesis of Tyrion Lannister. Kevan Lannister was the squire of Roger Reyne, the Red Lion, who was the best fighter in the West and was Knighted during the Nine Penny Wars. I loved when she's talking about how Tywin stood up for her (to their father) when they were kids.For all his decency shown in later books, Kevan does not object to his brother's command to rape, pillage, and burn the Riverlands. Lancel Lannister is the son of Ser Kevan Lannister and the nephew of Lord Tyrion sees that Lancel is telling the truth but tires of toying with his cousin and dismisses him. She admits sleeping with Lancel, but claims it was after Robert's death, therefore less serious than crime than she is accused of.
Sorry to invoke Godwin's Law on a work of fiction, but Kevan reminds me of this quote by Simon Wiesenthal on the Nazi bureaucrat Adolf Eichmann: "The world now understands the concept of 'desk murderer'.
He is comfortable with carrying out Tywin's wishes and resigned himself to … Kevan fucking Lannister.Anyway, I was wondering if anybody has found anything or has any arguments and opinions, which would sully my view of this great man.Yeah, he's a good guy and very human. Abandon and betray his nephews's children? Kevan has green eyes and fair skin. He's most definitely neither a hero nor a great leader, but if I were a Lannister myself, I would probably wind up being exactly like Kevan.The "aye, and his father too..." line only further damns Kevan in my opinion. In response, Brother Lancel commands one of his brothers to take his cousin by force but Cersei "chooses violence" and orders When the Queen Mother doesn't show up at the Sept of Baelor for her trial, Lancel is sent to retrieve her. ~Kevan LannisterI really liked Kevan Lannister, too.
