in "a game of thrones" (1996), jaime is introduced as one of the kingsguard, the royal security detail, and the son of wealthy and powerful tywin lannister, the former hand of the king. jaime's twin is cersei, the queen of westeros by virtue of her marriage to king robert baratheon. perhaps the greatest swordsman in the kingdom, jaime is derisively referred to as "the kingslayer" because he killed the "mad king" aerys targaryen in the coup that put robert on the iron throne.

jaime lannister accompanies the royal family to winterfell, where king robert baratheon hopes to persuade his old friend ned stark to serve as hand of the king. during the visit, ned's young son bran inadvertently spies jaime and cersei having sex in a remote tower, at which point jaime pushes the boy out a window, intending to kill bran to keep their relationship secret. bran survives, though crippled and with no recollection of the incident. when an assassin later tries to kill bran, his mother catelyn stark accuses and arrests tyrion. in revenge, jaime instigates a brawl with ned and his men in the streets of king's landing, killing many on both sides. ned later discovers that robert's three children are actually the products of jaime and cersei's affair, but is executed by the oldest child, joffrey baratheon, upon the latter's ascension as king. jaime then rides for the riverlands to aid tywin in his campaign against the riverlands, taking command of half the lannister host. he besieges the riverlands' capital of riverrun, but his army is waylaid by robb stark's army in the battle of the whispering wood. jaime is taken prisoner and incarcerated in riverrun. in the meantime, joffrey has named jaime as commander of his kingsguard.
