Formerly the kennel masters of Casterly Rock under the rule of Lord Tytos Lannister, House Clegane was formed after the servant Clegane and three of his hounds chased off a lioness tried to kill his liege lord one day. As a reward for his bravery and courage, his family were given titles, land, a keep and their own sigil to fight under. The banner they chose was that of three hounds on a yellow field, with the dogs acting as a tribute to the three that lost their lives to the lioness.Clegane married and soon bore a son, who continued to work in the kennels. There the son reared the dogs to hunt, fight and kill. Lord Tywin Lannister demanded that he taught not only the hounds learn how to kill, but also his sons.
Eventually the son married and bore three children, Gregor, Sandor and a young daughter. Gregor and Sandor fulfilled Tywin's wish, becoming familiar with the art of murder and bloodshed. Meanwhile their sister went missing during the early years of the children growing up, with many suspecting that she was a victim at Gregor's hand, along with numerous servants of the Clegane Keep who had disappeared without a trace.
Prince Rhaegar, on the protestations of Tywin, personally knighted Gregor and made him a sworn knight, bringing honour to the family. However the family would undergo great scrutiny at the actions of Gregor after the knight helped sack King's Landing, butchered Rhaegar's children, and raped Princess Elia Martell before violently killing her.
Upon the passing of the Lord Clegane in a supposed hunting accident, Gregor became the Lord of the Clegane Keep, whilst Sandor went to serve at Casterly Rock as a sworn protector and loyalist to Prince Joffrey Baratheon.
