Jerick Lannister

King Jerick Lannister is a major character in the first and second book of the A Tale of Blood and Steel series. He is played by Abraham Emmerson. He was the 83rd king of the Seven Kingdoms  inheriting from his late father, King Paul Lannister whom he killed along with his mother, Queen Gisela Lannister. He was formally styled His Grace, Jerick of the Houses Lannister, the First of His Name, King of the Andals and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm.

Jerick was betrothed to Lady Clarisse De La Cruz, as part of the new alliance between House Lannister, and House De La Cruz, the ruling house of Iberia whose support helped save King's Landing from Stannis Baratheon's attack.

Jerick was murdered by Lady Rose Tyrell during the Wilding Silver King's Landing Siege in 783 AL.

Background
Jerick is the oldest son and heir of King Paul Lannister and Queen Gisela Lannister (née Baratheon), who entered a political strategic marriage to create peace between the houses. In reality, all negative feelings between the houses remain. He has an older sister, Helena, a younger brother, Tawn and a younger sister, April.

Jerick takes after his mother's Baratheon looks and personality,  who famously always possess black hair even when one of their parents possesses blonde hair, Paul. He is usually accompanied by his sworn shield, the formidable Tawn Lannister. Even before he ascends to the Iron Throne, Jerick is spoiled, arrogant, cowardly, and sadistic; however these traits are further exacerbated upon Robert's death and his ascension to the crown.
