Quotes
Tyrion: In Westeros, the word of a Lannister is considered good as gold.
Tybero: This is not Westeros. On this side of the narrow sea, we put our promises on paper. Debts written on the wind tend to be ... forgotten, shall we say?[2]
Tyrion: Tybero? That sounds almost Lannister. Are you some long-lost cousin?
Tybero: Perhaps. I always pay my debts as well. It is expected of a paymaster.[2]—Tybero to Tyrion Lannister
I keep the books. I guard our gold. I draw up our agreements, collect our wages, make certain that we have sufficient coin to buy provisions. I do not decide who we fight or when.[4]
—Tybero to Jorah Mormont
