All 9 Lannisters in Game of Thrones, ranked from worst to best
6. Tommen Baratheon Lannister
Poor, poor Tommen. The youngest of Cersei’s children, Tommen is another bastard born from incest. Honestly, if he had more screen time, he’d be higher on this list because he seems like a really sweet kid. But his life becomes tragic once his brother Joffrey dies and he’s the next up on the Iron Throne.
Tommen is too young and inexperienced to become the king, but he’s thrust into a world of politics, manipulation, and lies without a choice. Forced to marry his brother’s widow Margaery, Tommen wants to do the right thing, but the right thing for the Lannister family tends to be immoral. Not knowing how to lead, he takes advice from his mother Cersei, who is not known to give good advice.
After Cersei blows up the Great Sept of Baelor, killing Tommen’s wife in the process, he’s stricken with grief. His new position has made him miserable, and without knowing what else to do, he dies by suicide when jumping from a window. It’s truly heartbreaking. Tommen deserves better!
5. Kevan Lannister
He doesn’t have as much screen time as some of the other Lannisters on this list, but Kevan Lannister might be the most honorable of the bunch. The younger brother of Tywin, Kevan is a trusted and committed member of House Lannister and becomes a loyal supporter and adviser to King Tommen during his short reign. Though Tywin serves as the Hand of the King to Tommen, Kevan takes his place after he’s killed.
In contrast to the other Lannisters, Kevan is generally portrayed as level-headed and actually seems to have morals. Because of this, he doesn’t like Cersei at all. He wary of Cersei’s power-hungry motivations, and none too pleased about her sleeping with his son Lancel, Cersei’s cousin. There’s no reason for Kevan to support Cersei, except for their blood relation.
Unfortunately, his strained relationship with Cersei leads to Kevan’s demise when he’s blown up at the Great Sept of Baelor along with Lancel, Margaery, Loras, and others. Kevan’s integrity places him higher on this list than others, but the fact he’s just not all that interesting keeps him from the top spots.
