Davos Penrose is Lord of Parchments and Consort of the Stormlands, he rose to prominence during The Summer of Three Stags, which later resulted in him marrying the Lady Paramount of the Stormlands, Ashara Baratheon.

## Appearance and Character

Davos is stout, muscular, and round man. Despite his percieved largeness, he is no taller than most, standing shorter than his own wife. Despite his height, his appearance commands authority and respect. Davos is a great commander and an even more skilled warrior, likely one of the greatest duelists in the realm. His martial skill has come at a cost though, Davos is a poor statesman who allows others to govern his Lordship for him. As a father, Davos is caring and is very close with his children, he seeks to emulate his beloved father, who in turn was very close with Davos.

## Biography

### Early Life

Davos was born in Parchments in 93AC, he had a small family, though they were very close. Unfortunately for Davos, his mother Beatrice died when he was only five years old, when she succame to illness. The loss of Beatrice Penrose did however bring the close-knit family even closer, though it came with the detriment to Davos' social skills. As a boy Davos had few friends, preferring to play with his sister and father, who always obliged, showing much love to the young boy, something he always sought to emulate with his own family.

When Davos was seven, his father set out to fight the Dornish in the War of the Setting Sun. For those three years, Davos was educated by his then of-age sister, Amerei, who comforted Davos with stories of their fathers deeds, though they were mostly embellished, the lessons Amerei tought Davos stuck with him for the rest of his life.

Following the end of the War, Duram pushed for Amerei to marry Roland Tully and his goals were completed. Davos missed Amerei, however he was not sad for long, as soon after his own father took young Davos as a squire.

### The Summer of Three Stags

Shortly after Davos completed his squireship, Duram was killed on a hunting trip, leaving Davos as Lord of Parchments. Not long after, Roy Baratheon died, leaving the Stormlands in a succession crisis. As a young lord, Davos sought to make a name for himself and to earn the respect his father Duram had and so he declared his support for Roy's rightful heir, Ashara. Davos was Ashara's primary advisor during the crisis, aiding in rallying forces and serving as her most loyal subject. As the crisis continued, Davos began courting Ashara, though the marriage did not occur until years later it was obvious Davos had quickly become her primary suitor.

### Consort of the Stormlands

In 122AC, Ashara finally agreed to wed Davos, bringing an end to the rumours of their relationship. Their first - Lewyn - was born that same year, with two more - Andros and Jeyne - in the following few. The children took the family name Baratheon and with Davos allowing his wife to manage the realm it was obvious what a feminine position this large man had fallen into, something he is still mocked for to this day.

With tensions rising in the realm, Davos intends to earn the respect of the Lords and Ladies of the realm, but more importantly to him, he intends to protect his family at all costs.
