Stannis Baratheon

==Summary==
Stannis Baratheon was the Lord of Dragonstone, the younger brother of King Robert Baratheon, and older brother of Renly Baratheon. On account of the revelation of Robert's supposed children's true parentage, Stannis declares himself the rightful King after Robert's death as his rightful heir, and begins a campaign to take the Iron Throne.
After assassinating his younger brother Renly using blood magic, due to Renly also having claimed the throne despite being the youngest brother, Stannis almost succeeds in taking King's Landing at the Battle of the Blackwater, but is ultimately repulsed by the armies of Tywin Lannister and House Tyrell. As his wars drag on, Stannis falls further and further under the sway of the red priestess Melisandre. After saving the Night's Watch from Mance Rayder's wildling army in the Battle of Castle Black, Stannis marches on Winterfell. With conditions growing desperate, Stannis ultimately chooses to burn his daughter, Shireen Baratheon, to melt the snows away and clear his path to Winterfell. He is defeated in battle outside Winterfell by an army led by Ramsay Bolton, much of his army having deserted following the burning of Shireen. The dying Stannis is shortly thereafter located by Brienne of Tarth, once kingsguard to Renly, who kills him for the murder of his younger brother.
