Stannis Baratheon
Stannis Baratheon is King Robert's middle brother in A Game of Thrones, Lord of Dragonstone and master of ships, a hard and humorless man absent from court.
In A Game of Thrones, Stannis Baratheon is a name spoken at court more than a face seen there: King Robert's middle brother, Lord of Dragonstone, and master of ships on the royal council. Where Robert laughs easily, Stannis does not laugh at all. He is a hard, humorless, iron-willed man with a soldier's reputation and no gift for making himself loved. He has quit the capital for his island seat and stays there, absent from court, his reasons his own. His seat, the old fortress of Dragonstone, guards the mouth of Blackwater Bay. A Clash of Kings, brings him fully on stage.
