As for "defending the accused killer", that killer is his own dear brother. And Jaime has a lot of guilt wrapped up in his love for Tyrion. And he doesn't even believe Tyrion did it. A Storm of Swords; Jaime IV - "And Tyrion, his little brother, who loved him for a lie." A Storm of Swords; Jaime IV - "Live, he told himself harshly, when the mush was like to gag him, live for Cersei, live for Tyrion" A Storm of Swords; Jaime VII - "He would see Cersei soon, and Tyrion, and their father. Could my brother truly have killed the boy? Jaime found that hard to believe." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The redemption arc starts with him losing his hand, which the entire point of this thread is that he keeps his hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a fictional character, and none of us are the author, so there is literally no point is wondering what would happen if the author wrote a different story unless someone would ask GRRM himself, and nobody will because deep down inside every speculative nerd here knows he hates fan fic so........

The Bard of Banefort Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I think Jaime respects what the White Cloak stood for when Arthur Dayne and Gerold Hightower were the ones wearing IT, and I think he longs to restore the Kingsguard--and himself--to that honor. At the same time, I think there's a part of Jaime that desperately wants a family, to have a wife and children away from King's Landing: Quote Unbidden, his thoughts went to Brienne of Tarth. Stupid stubborn ugly wench. He wondered where she was. Father, give her strength. Almost a prayer . . . but was it the god he was invoking, the Father Above whose towering gilded likeness glimmered in the candlelight across the sept? Or was he praying to the corpse that lay before him? Does it matter? They never listened, either one. The Warrior had been Jaime's god since he was old enough to hold a sword. Other men might be fathers, sons, husbands, but never Jaime Lannister, whose sword was as golden as his hair. He was a warrior, and that was all he would ever be. If Jaime does end up killing Cersei, I think it will be connected in some way to this. Strangling someone to death is an act of extreme, personal rage. If he was stopping Cersei from burning down King's Landing, he would just put a sword through her the way he did Aerys. As far as Cersei having an affair, he already turned his back on her in that respect; in ADWD, Jaime is still resentful, but he's also more at peace in than in AFFC. If Cersei were to do something to jeopardize his new life, however--such as by doing something to Brienne or, if Jaime ever does have another child with someone else, arranging to have that child killed like she did Robert's--that could be something that pushes him over the edge.

Kevan idolizes Tywin to the point of hero worship. Tywin loves his legacy far more then Kevan. If Tywin told Kevan Lancel had to be made an example of because his affair with Cersei became public he'd go with it. Tywin suffers no fools unless they are his children or grandchildren, and even then he only gives them so many chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin is a good man and everyone who speaks of him shows there respect he wouldn't allow even Tywin to take his sons life without a fight no real knight would.
