Game Of Thrones Prequel: 10 Legendary Characters We Hope To See
4. Lann The Clever
The supposed founder of House Lannister, legends say that Lann the Clever was able to swindle Casterly Rock away from House Casterly and vanish them from history using nothing but his wits. The exact way he was able to accomplish this impressive feat range from hilariously ludicrous to the possible yet unlikely.
Some say Lann the Clever snuck around Casterly Rock completely naked except for the melted butter he doused himself with and convinced House Casterly their keep was haunted. Others say that he unleashed a bunch of rodents into the castle to drive them out, or Tyrion Lannister's particular favorite, fathered enough bastards with Casterly women that they had no choice but to accept his rule.
Then, of course, there's maesters who don't think he existed at all. These really go on and on and make for some great reading. There is a hiccup here however as the Lannisters are descendants of the Andals, not the First Men so whether this Loki-like mischief occurred before or after the Andal Invasion remains in question.
Regardless of how Lann the Clever's ascendance came to be, it will certainly make for some juicy television. Assuming he existed of course.
