Character from House of the Dragon by George R.R. Martin
Lord of Storm's End, a proud and belligerent man who sided with the Greens not out of conviction but because Aemond offered him a marriage pact that Lucerys could not match — his ambition sealed the first death of the Dance.
Borros is blunt, proud, and entirely lacking in the subtlety his position demands. He cannot read — a fact he treats as a point of masculine pride rather than a limitation — and conducts politics the way he fights: charge forward, hit hard, worry about consequences never. He respects strength, despises hesitation, and views every interaction through the lens of what it offers House Baratheon. When Lucerys arrived at Storm's End as an envoy and could offer nothing beyond words, and Aemond arrived offering a betrothal to one of Borros's four daughters, the choice was laughably simple to him. He let Aemond pursue the boy. He did not order the killing — he is not quite that foolish — but he did nothing to prevent it, and his inaction made him complicit in the act that turned a succession dispute into a war. He is loud where his ancestor Orys was cunning, and he mistakes volume for authority.
A large, powerfully built man with the black hair and blue eyes of House Baratheon, though running to thickness around the middle. Heavy-jawed with a permanent scowl that deepens when he feels slighted. Wears a yellow surcoat emblazoned with the crowned stag of his house over mail. His hands are thick and scarred from tournament fighting.
