Tyrion Lannister, also referred to as "the Imp" or "the Halfman" and later by the alias Hugor Hill during exile, is a fictional character in A Song of Ice and Fire series of epic fantasy novels by American author George R. R. Martin and its television adaptation Game of Thrones. He is a prominent point of view character. Based on an idea that came to Martin while writing the 1981 novel Windhaven, Tyrion has been called one of the author 's finest creations and most popular characters by The New York Times. Martin has named the character as his favorite in the series.
Introduced in A Game of Thrones (1996) and subsequently in A Clash of Kings ( 1998 ) and A Storm of Swords ( 2000 ), Tyrion was one of a few prominent characters that were not included in A Feast for Crows (2005) but returned in the next novel A Dance with Dragons (2011). The character will also appear in the forthcoming volume The Winds of Winter. The popularity of the character led Martin and Bantam Books to publish The Wit & Wisdom of Tyrion Lannister, an illustrated collection of Tyrion quotes from the novels, in 2013.
Tyrion is a dwarf and member of House Lannister of Casterly Rock, one of the wealthiest and most powerful families in the fictional kingdom of Westeros. In the story, Tyrion uses his status as a Lannister to mitigate the prejudice he has received all of his life, even from his family. Knowing that no one will ever take him seriously, he soothes his inadequacies with wine, wit and self -indulgence.
