Jaime Lannister

Jaime Lannister is a fictional character from George R.R.

Martin's *A Song of Ice and Fire* novels and the television adaptation *Game of Thrones*.

Known as the Kingslayer for breaking his oath to kill the king he was sworn to protect, Jaime embodies moral ambiguity—a man whose dishonorable act prevented mass murder.

His arc from arrogant golden knight to complex antihero, and his incestuous relationship with his twin sister Cersei, made him one of the series' most discussed characters.
