Queen Cersei Lannister is the eldest child of Lord Tywin Lannister, twin of Jaime and elder sister of Tyrion, and one of the principal antagonists of Game of Thrones. Married to King Robert Baratheon, she wields power through her children and her house, concealing an incestuous relationship with her brother Jaime.
Ambitious and ruthless, Cersei manoeuvres through the intrigues of King's Landing and ultimately claims the Iron Throne in her own right as the first queen regnant of the Seven Kingdoms, becoming the last monarch to sit that throne. She is portrayed as cunning, protective of her children, and increasingly consumed by paranoia and vengeance. This overview summarizes her character; see the Timeline for a chronological account of her arc.
