Corlos is a figure from the Age of Heroes
and the founder of House Casterly. His father's name was Caster.
History
According to legend, Corlos was a huntsman
who lived in a village near to where Lannisport would eventually stand. When a
lion began preying on the village's sheep, Corlos tracked it back to its den, a
cave in the base of the Rock. Armed with only a spear, he slew the lion and his
mate, but spared the newborn cubs. This act of mercy so pleased the old gods
that they sent a a sudden ray of sunlight deep into the cave, revealing the
gleam of yellow gold in a vein as thick as a man's waist.
Maester Yandel believes he soon moved
inside the cave and fortified its entrance and as centuries passed, his
descendants delved deeper and deeper into the earth to mine the gold but also
carving halls, galleries and tunnels, transforming the gigantic Rock to a
castle that dwarfed every other seat in Westeros.
