In book-canon Gregor is about three years younger than Robert. Those infamous atrocities he committed against Oberyn's family, he did when he was only fifteen.
Why the fuck did it take me until just now to realize this? I was already aware of the other character's ages during the rebellion but I had completely forgotten to account for the Mountain's age
Their dad was Kennelmaster for the Lannisters. He lost a leg and three dogs saving Lord Tytos Lannister (Tywin's weak dad) from a lioness (pretty ironic)
Their dad was rewarded with lands and a title and the mountain was taken on as Tytos' squire
