	In the ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'' novels, Ser Kevan is a solid, reliable, and serious man. His appearance in the books is different: Kevan being blonde, green-eyed, bearded and somewhat fat. He is content with living in his elder brother's shadow, serving as a follower and not trying to usurp Tywin's authority. This does not, however, mean that Kevan is an unintelligent man, simply that he recognizes Tywin's superior capabilities, and he occupies a position of power and responsibility in House Lannister as Tywin's most trusted lieutenant.

−	Kevan is loyal to his brother, loves his wife and children, and is proud of his family and heritage. He is married to the Lady Dorna of [[House Swyft]]. As well as Lancel he has two younger sons, [[Willem Lannister|Willem]] and [[Martyn Lannister|Martyn]], and an infant daughter, Janei. Tyrion always got along much better with his uncle Kevan than his tyrannical father Tywin, as well as having a good relationship with his younger two uncles (Kevan's younger brothers) Tygett and Gerion (who are both deceased by the time the books begin). Kevan always displays the basic courtesy and family respect to Tyrion that Tywin does not.	+	Kevan is loyal to his brother, loves his wife and children, and is proud of his family and heritage.

Kevan always displays the basic courtesy and family respect to Tyrion that Tywin does not.
	Kevan's son Willem and his cousin Tion Frey were taken captive by the Starks in the [[Battle of the Whispering Wood]], imprisoned at [[Riverrun]], and killed by [[Rickard Karstark]]. Kevan's son Martyn was captured in the [[Battle of Oxcross]] and later Robb exchanged him for Robett Glover, who was taken captive by the Lannisters in the Battle of [[Duskendale]]. The TV series, however, had Lord Karstark kill both Martyn and Willem. Tion Frey was actually the younger son of Genna Lannister, Tywin and Kevan's sister, but the TV series hadn't introduced her by Season 3. Moreover, Genna's oldest son Cleos Frey was changed in the TV adaptation to be "[[Alton Lannister]]", a more distant cousin. Apparently, the TV producers didn't want viewers to be confused - at the time - why someone named "Frey" would be fighting for the Lannisters (given that this was before the Freys betrayed the Starks at the Red Wedding). Thus, similar to how Cleos Frey was changed around, the TV series killed both of Kevan's younger sons instead of only one.
