Prince Tommen Baratheon is the younger brother of Prince Joffrey and Princess Myrcella and is second-in-line for throne. He is Queen Cersei Lannister's youngest child and, like his siblings, he is also the son of Cersei's brother Jaime Lannister, but he is unaware of this and believes he is the son of King Robert Baratheon. He is described as plump, sweet, and weak-willed, but tries hard and is kind-hearted, standing in contrast to his cruel, headstrong older brother; it is believed by many characters Tommen will make a far better king than Joffrey. After King Joffrey's death in A Storm of Swords, Tommen is crowned and marries Joffrey's young widow Margaery Tyrell. However, he is more interested in his kittens and games than in the realm and believes kingship only involves signing and sealing decrees. He is also a submissive child, and as a result, he does everything that is asked of him. Cersei uses him to rule as she likes, and Margaery manipulates him into resisting his mother.

In the same work, he is revealed to be the same character as The Necromancer from Tolkien's earlier novel The Hobbit. In Tolkien's The Silmarillion (published posthumously by Tolkien's son Christopher Tolkien) he is also revealed to have been the chief lieutenant of the first Dark Lord, Morgoth. Tolkien noted that the "angelic" powers of his constructed myth "were capable of many degrees of error and failing", but by far the worst was "the absolute Satanic rebellion and evil of Morgoth and his satellite Sauron."
