Stannis Baratheon

Character from A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin

The rightful king by every law of succession who cannot understand why the realm won't simply acknowledge this — an iron man of unbending justice, humorless duty, and grinding teeth, seduced by a fire priestess into burning the things he loves.

Also known as: Stannis, Stannis Baratheon, King Stannis, The Mannis, Lord of Dragonstone

What They Know

• He is the rightful heir to the Iron Throne after Robert — Joffrey, Tommen, and Myrcella are illegitimate products of Lannister incest
• Melisandre's shadow magic killed Renly — Stannis allowed it because the throne is his by right and Renly was a usurper, but the fratricide haunts him
• He burned his own daughter Shireen alive as a sacrifice to R'hllor — the act that damned him in the eyes of his own men and the audience alike
• Davos Seaworth is his most loyal advisor and the only person who tells him the truth — Stannis respects this even when he hates what he hears
• The Iron Bank of Braavos funded his campaign after the Crown defaulted on its debts — financial pragmatism backing legal legitimacy
• He offered to legitimize Jon Snow as Jon Stark and make him Lord of Winterfell — a political masterstroke that Jon refused
