Character from A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin
Robert Baratheon's unacknowledged bastard son — a blacksmith with a king's blood who spent years not knowing why people kept trying to kill him, carrying his father's strength and none of his father's vices.
Gendry is Robert Baratheon without the entitlement — strong, brave, and honest in a straightforward way that comes from growing up with nothing to protect except his own labor. He speaks plainly, distrusts fancy words, and judges people by what they do rather than what they claim. His friendship with Arya is grounded in mutual respect and a shared refusal to be defined by the roles the world assigns them. He is uncomfortable with lordship because he earned everything he has through work, and titles feel like cheating.
Tall, muscular, and powerfully built with thick black hair and striking blue eyes — unmistakably Robert Baratheon's son to anyone who knew the king in his prime. A bull-headed stubbornness visible in his jaw. Hands rough and scarred from years at the forge. Dresses in working clothes, plain and practical.
Also known as: Gendry, Gendry Baratheon, The Bull
