## Biography

### Background

Durran was the third and final bastard sired by King Robert II Baratheon, some four years after the death of his second wife, Jeyne Harlaw. Robert sired Durran on Grace Morrigen, and remained close to Grace even after getting her pregnant.

Robert began considering a marriage to Grace to restore her and her house's honour, but was seduced by Emylia Bracken and married her a year later instead.

### Early life

Durran soon became a prominent figure at the courts of both Crow's Nest and Storm's End. He also occasionally visited King's Landing, although Emylia Bracken loathed his presence.

### Later life and death

Quentyn Baratheon

## Quentyn I Baratheon

King **Quentyn Baratheon** is the only son of Prince Raymont Baratheon and his wife, Kinvara. He was born in Meereen after his father and father's younger sister, Roslin Baratheon, willingly left the Seven Kingdoms nine years earlier.

He is the figurehead of the Legitimists faction in the Black Succession. He has thus formally styled himself as **Quentyn of the House Baratheon, the First of His Name, King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, and Protector of the Realm.**

## Biography

### Background

While Prince Raymont is believed to have had many baseborn children whilst in his self-imposed exile, Quentyn was the only child from his brief marriage to Kinvara of Volantis, thus was the only child of his to take the last name 'Baratheon'.

Raised from birth in Essos, Quentyn embraced many cultures and traditions that would be considered foreign in his homeland, such as following the Lord of Light and spending a year fighting amongst the Second Sons. However, Quentyn always longed to return to Westeros, and when his father died in 458 AC, Quentyn and Roslin returned to King's Landing the following year.

The two were not greeted warmly by Queen Regent Sharra Arryn, as Quentyn was liable to claim the Iron Throne as the descendant of King Rogar I Baratheon. He and Roslin would go on to travel to Winterfell on the invitation of his grandmother, Jocelyn Stark.

### Black Succession

He is the leader of the Legitimists faction in the Black Succession, having declared himself the rightful king at Winterfell shortly following the assassination of Queen Nymeria I Baratheon.

Aegon Baratheon

Queen **Lyanna I Baratheon** was the twenty-fifth ruler of the Seven Kingdoms and the seventh monarch of the Baratheon Dynasty. She was the only child of Princess Ashara Baratheon and her husband, Prince Myles Martell. She reigned from 426 AC until her death in 429 AC, and was succeeded by her uncle, Rogar I Baratheon.

She was formally styled as **Lyanna of the House Baratheon, the First of Her Name, Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men, Lady of the Seven Kingdoms, and Protector of the Realm.**

## Biography

### Background

Lyanna was born the only child of Princess Ashara Baratheon and her husband, Prince Myles Martell. Lyanna's pregnancy and birth resulted in terminal health issues for her mother, leading to Ashara's death just two years later in 411 AC, making Lyanna heir to the Iron Throne. Lyanna's grandfather, King Robert III Baratheon, blamed himself for Ashara's death, and took it upon himself to hold up Lyanna and her claim over her brothers, much to the chagrin of Lyanna's uncle, Rogar Baratheon.

Lyanna chose to forgo a traditional feminine upbringing, instead training to become a warrior and military commander. With her grandfather's consent, she also turned down numerous offers of marriage from the Great Houses.

### Reign

King Robert died in 426 AC, and despite rumblings of a succession crisis, Lyanna succeeding in taking and holding the Iron Throne.

Barely a year into her reign, the New Daughters War broke out. Lyanna chose to lead her armies across the Narrow Sea to fight alongside the Three Daughters. Despite many of the Free Cities having sided against the Seven Kingdoms, others remained neutral and open to an alliance from Westeros. Once such city was Norvos, whos leader, Galeo Hotah, offered his armies in exchange for Lyanna's hand in marriage.

Shortly after their marriage pact was concluded, Lyanna was badly injured during the Battle of the Darkwash against Qohori forces, and was forced to return to Norvos. Shortly after returning, she discovered she was pregnant.

Lyanna never recovered from her injuries, and died in childbirth. Her son, whom she named Aegon in honour of the Conqueror, died a day later, making her uncle, Rogar Baratheon, the new monarch of the Seven Kingdoms.
Ambush of the Baratheon Envoy

Factions| * House Baratheon of Storm's End
	+ House Seaworth
* **Volantis**/House Maegyr

Casualties| **Total*** Lord Edric Baratheon (POW)
* Ser Devan Seaworth (POW)

The **Ambush of the Baratheon Envoy** was a naval skirmish during the War of the Narrow Sea, taking place in the Summer Sea just off the Volantine Coast.

## History

### Prelude

Following the Battle of Lys, the hitherto neutral Triarch of Volantis Malaquo Maegyr ostensibly offered to mediate peace talks between the Seven Kingdoms and the Second Triarchy. In reality, he had secretly allied with the Asaro Trellos and Euron Greyjoy, who directed the spies in King Gendry Baratheon's court to encourage him to send Edric as the crown's envoy. Gendry had begun to regain his trust in Edric following his victories at the Battle of Bloodstone and Battle of Lys, but only reluctantly agreed to send Edric, alongside Devan Seaworth.

### Ambush

The envoy was ambushed and sunk by Euron Greyjoy's Iron Fleet supported by several Volantine warships several days sail from Volantis. Edric and Devan were captured and taken to Myr, the de-facto capital of the Second Triarchy.

### Aftermath

Following the disappearance of his brother, Gendry was led to believe he had turned cloak. Gendry thus silently declared Edric and Devan traitors to the realm.
Podrick Payne

"*There has never lived a more loyal squire.*"
―Tyrion Lannister to Podrick
Ser **Podrick Payne** was a knight of House Payne and member of King Gendry Baratheon's Kingsguard.

Born into the minor House Payne, he became a squire during the War of the Five Kings, eventually ending up in the service of Lord Tyrion Lannister, where he would go on to save Tyrion's life during the Battle of the Blackwater. Following Tyrion's arrest for King Joffrey Baratheon's murder, he became the personal squire of Brienne of Tarth, and accompanied her on her task to ensure the safety of Sansa and Arya Stark. He remained by Brienne's side during the Great War, fighting in and surviving the Fall of Winterfell and the Battle of King's Landing.

Following the Great War, Podrick was knighted and named to the Kingsguard, where he continued to serve under Brienne after she was named Lord Commander of the Kingsguard.

Lynesse Hightower

**Lynesse Hightower**, known as **Lynesse Mormont** during her marriage, was the fourth and youngest child of Lord Leyton Hightower, and the younger sister of Baelor, Garth and Alerie Hightower.

## Biography

### Background

During the Tourney at Lannisport following the Greyjoy Rebellion, she was favoured by the victor, Lord Jorah Mormont of Bear Island, and was shortly after married to him. Lynesse quickly grew unhappy in the marriage and began demanding of her husband increasingly expensive gifts and comforts, eventually leading Jorah to sell poachers he had caught on his lands into slavery so he could afford to further placate Lynesse. Jorah was caught and slated to be executed by his liege lord, Eddard Stark, but the couple fled to Lys.

Jorah joined the Golden Company to fund the two of them whilst in exile, but Lynesse ultimately left Jorah and moved in with Tregar Ormollen, a merchant prince in Lys, becoming his chief concubine.

Whilst in hiding in Lys, Edric Storm and his protectors met with Lynesse, and were honoured guests at Tregar's manse for a time.

### *A Dream of Spring*

Lynesse met Edric again (now Edric Baratheon following his legitamisation) following the Battle of Lys. Edric installed Tregar and Lynesse as the temporary civil rulers of the city following it's occupation by Westerosi forces.

Ronald Connington

Lord **Ronald Connington** was the cousin of Jon Connington and the Knight of Griffin's Roost throughout the reign of King Robert Baratheon, the War of the Five Kings and the Great War, before being restored to Lord of Griffin's Roost by Lord Edric Baratheon.

## Biography

### Background

Ronald Connington became Lord of Griffin's Roost in the midst of Robert's Rebellion. His predecessor, Jon Connington, had been serving King Aerys II Targaryen as Hand of the King, before being exiled for failing to capture Robert Baratheon during the Battle of the Bells. Despite immediately switching sides to support Robert upon his accession, Ronald Connington was stripped of his lordship and nine tenths of his lands upon the Rebellion's conclusion, making House Connington mere landed knights.

Following the Great War, Ronald Connington presented his daughter, Alynne Connington, to his liege Edric Baratheon as a potential suitor for marriage. Edric accepted, and as a token of good will, restored the Connington's lordship along with roughly half of the lands confiscated by Robert.

### *A Dream of Spring*

Ronald declared House Connington for Edric Baratheon at the outset of the War of the Narrow Sea. He was cut down during the Battle of Storm's End, and was succeded by his eldest son, Ronnet Connington, as the Lord of Griffin's Roost.

Edmure lost his position after less than a year, when his eldest sister, nephew and niece-by-law were massacred at his own wedding to Roslin Frey. Following his brief wedding night, Edmure was imprisoned by the man who assumed his titles; Walder Frey.

Edmure remained a prisoner of House Frey for several years until the the Assassinations at the Twins, where Edmure escaped Frey custody and was reunited with his wife and the son he sired on his wedding night.

Cley Cerwyn

"*If the Night King wants to pass Moat Cailin, he'll have to go through me.*"
―Cley Cerwyn to Sansa Stark, indicating his desire to lead the defence of Moat Cailin
Lord **Cley Cerwyn** was a member of House Cerwyn and the only child of Lord Medger Cerwyn.

Following the Red Wedding, Cley's father remained loyal to House Stark and viewed the Boltons as treacherous turncloaks. After he refused to pay taxes to Ramsay Bolton, Medger was flayed alive, alongside his wife and brother, with Cley being forced to watch. In his capacity as the new Lord of Cerwyn, Cley begrudgingly paid his new overlords. Cley subsequently refused to aid House Stark in the lead-up to the Battle of the Bastards, and was chastised for his inaction.

Following the Fall of Winterfell, a number of survivors made it to Castle Cerwyn, and Cley provided all with horses and skiffs to flee south. Cley accompanied the survivors as far as Moat Cailin, where he offered to remain with a small group of Free Folk and Crannogmen, in order to hold off the Army of the Dead from crossing the Neck for as long as possible.

Cley was ultimately killed during the Fall of Moat Cailin, although his heroic sacrifice is thought to have delayed the Night King's advance by up to a week.

Ashara Baratheon

Princess **Ashara Baratheon** was the eldest child and only daughter of King Robert III Baratheon and Queen Alysanne Tully, and the older sister of King Rogar I Baratheon and King Lyonel I Baratheon.

## Biography

### Background

As the eldest child of King Robert III Baratheon, she became the heir apparent to the Iron Throne from the moment of her birth, as per the succession laws passed by her ancestors. She was considered pretty, but was also small and frail for her entire life. She was also by far and away the most loved of her siblings by her father.

### Marriage

In 409 AC, she was married to Prince Myles Martell of Dorne. Later that same year, she gave birth to their first child, Lyanna Baratheon. Due to her frailty, she never recovered from her pregnancy, and died of a fever just two years later in 411 AC, making Lyanna the heir to the Iron Throne.

### Legacy

Her father blamed himself for Ashara's death, as he had insisted on the marriage with the Martells. As a result, he extended the love he had for Ashara onto Lyanna, and vowed to allow Lyanna much more freedom to make her own decisions, particularly in regards to when and whom she married.
Daella Velaryon

Queen **Daella Velaryon** was a member of House Velaryon and the first Queen Consort of King Lyonel I Baratheon. She died in childbirth less than a month after her accession, leading her to be remembered as the '**Queen for a Turn'**.

## Biography

### Background

She was married to Prince Lyonel Baratheon, giving him one surviving son, Steffon Baratheon. Daella had a number of failed pregnancies after giving birth to Steffon, and would never give birth to a surviving child again.

### Reign as Queen Consort

In 432 AC, whilst she was well into her fifth pregnancy, Lyonel ascended the Iron Throne, making Daella Queen Consort of the Seven Kingdoms. By the time of her accession, her marriage to Lyonel had begun to break down.

Daella died in childbirth within a moon's turn of her husband's accession. With her final pregnancy having failed to produce another surviving child, Lyonel would go on to marry Lynora Lannister a few months later.
Sharra Arryn

Queen **Sharra Arryn** is the younger sister of Lady Ella Arryn, the former Queen Consort of King Steffon I Baratheon, and Queen Mother to Queens Nymeria I Baratheon and Lyanna II Baratheon.

## Biography

### Reign as Queen Consort

She was married to King Steffon I Baratheon, and was thus Queen Consort of the Seven Kingdoms during his reign. Prior to becoming queen, she gave Steffon a daughter, Nymeria Baratheon, followed by a second daughter, Lyanna Baratheon after their accession. She also dismissed the unpopular previous Queen Consort, Lynora Lannister, effectively taking over raising both her sons, Robert and Joffrey, although her relationship with Lynora's children was always cold and distant.

### Reign as Queen Mother

Following the death of her husband, Nymeria ascended the Iron Throne at the age of just six, with Sharra becoming Queen Mother and Robert eventually becoming regent. She jostled for power during Nymeria's ten year regency, culminating with Sharra supplanting Robert as regent in 457 AC. Her popularity across the Realm soured significantly, as she spent her three years as regent stuffing the Small Council with her sycophants and spent the royal coffers buying off political allies. In 460 AC, she remarried to Ser Armond Baratheon. After Nymeria was assassinated, Sharra has levied countless accusations against her political adversaries.

### Black Succession

She is effectively the leader of the Royalists faction in the Black Succession on behalf of her daughter, Queen Lyanna II Baratheon, of whom she serves as Queen Regent and Protector of the Realm.
Whispering Knights

The **Whispering Knights** were a group of outlaws based in and around Oldtown, the new capital of the Reach. They took their name from the Whispering Sound on which Oldtown faced.

Despite their name, most members were not knights, although nearly all were of the nobility. Their purpose was opposition to King Gendry Baratheon and his laws, which had been designed to improve the lives of the smallfolk and offer more rights to women.

## History

### Founding

The Whispering Knights were founded during the War of the Narrow Sea, with the express purpose of opposing King Gendry Baratheon and Queen Arya Stark, and their reforms. They regularly met in downscale taverns in Oldtown, as well as the surrounding countryside outside of the city. They initially sought to ally themselves with the Eastern Coalition, but decided against it following the Attempted Coup in King's Landing.

### Abduction of Lyanna Baratheon

In 325 AC, they were under the leadership of Loras Redwyne, who was to be passed over to inherit the Arbor in favour of his elder sister. King Gendry was carrying out a royal progress of the realm, and as his progress reached Oldtown, the Whispering Knights abducted Princess Lyanna Baratheon, Gendry's only daughter, planning to hold her hostage in exchange for a concession; the repealing of the law guaranteeing absolute primogeniture across the Seven Kingdoms. In the ensuing search for Lyanna, Gendry located Loras Redwyne and the men holding Lyanna hostage. After Lyanna was freed, the two killed most of the men present, but Gendry was mortally wounded, and Loras Redwyne escaped.

### Downfall

With the Whispering Knights scattered, Loras attempted to have them regroup at a hidden location, by broadcasting a coded signal from the Hightower. However, he was tracked down and slain by Lyanna herself, enraged at her father's death. Following the death of Loras, the Whispering Knights effectively disbanded, with many of the remaining members either going into hiding or being tracked down and hung.

―Harry Strickland to Cersei I Lannister
Lord Protector **Harry Strickland** was the head of the exiled House Strickland, Captain of the Golden Company, and the first Lord Protector of the Three Daughters.

Harry rose through the ranks of the Golden Company, eventually becoming it's leader. In 304 AC, he accepted a contract from Queen Cersei Lannister and travelled to Westeros with a force of 20,000 men aboard Euron Greyjoy's Iron Fleet. Following Cersei's death, he sided his forces with the forces of the Living against the Army of the Dead, fighting valiantly during the Battle of King's Landing.

During the War of the Narrow Sea, he refused an offer to fight for Aeron and Naerys Blackfyre, and ultimately chose to fight alongside his former allies from the Great War, against the forces of the Second Triarchy. Following the wars conclusion, Harry became the leader of the Second Triarchy's successor state, the Three Daughters, and assimilated the Golden Company to serve as its standing army.

Dothraki

The **Dothraki** are a race of nomadic horse-mounted peoples from Essos. They traditionally inhabit a great central plain of Essos known as the Dothraki Sea, stretching from the Free Cities in the west to the Bone Mountains in the east. The centre of their civilisation is the city of Vaes Dothrak, laying beneath the Mother of Mountains.

They are famous for their close bond with their horses, and their fierceness on the battlefield, earning them the nicknames of '**horse lords**' and '**screamers**'.

## History

### Rise to prominence

The ancestors of the Dothraki arrived in the Dothraki Sea from the lands east of the Bone Mountains. Their traversal of the immense mountain range led to many deaths, giving the mountains their name.

The Dothraki rose to prominence following the Doom of Valyria and the subsequent Century of Blood. The Dothraki rode westward and sacked many of the newly-independent Free Cities, razing many cities and kingdoms to ground.

The Dothraki continued to make sporadic attacks against civilisations on the fringe of the Dothraki sea, as well as against each other's rival *khalasars*.

### Under Daenerys Targaryen

In 298 AC, Daenerys Targaryen married *Khal* Drogo, falling pregnant with his child soon after. Drogo was eventually fatally wounded, and his son was stillborn soon after. Daenerys ultimately fled with the loyalist remnants of Drogo's *khalasar*, eventually becoming the Queen of Meereen.

In 303 AC, Daenerys was captured by *Khal* Moro and brought to the Temple of the *Dosh Khaleen* in Vaes Dothrak, as she was the widow of a *khal*. Whilst there, she massacred all the *khali* present for *Khalar Vezhven* by burning them alive in the temple. As Daenerys was immune to fire, when she emerged unscathed, the gathered Dothraki all submitted themselves to her as their new *khaleesi*.

The Dothraki participated in the Second Siege of Meereen, before Daenerys led them across the Narrow Sea to serve in her conquest of Westeros.

Eventually, Daenerys abandoned her quest for the Iron Throne, instead setting her sights on resisting the oncoming invasion of the White Walkers from beyond the Wall. The Dothraki fought bravely in the Great War, including in the Fall of Winterfell and the Battle of King's Landing, but by war's end, Daenerys was dead and their numbers were severely reduced.

### After the Great War

Most of the remaining Dothraki returned to the Dothraki Sea following the Great War, but a few elected to stay in Westeros. Most who stayed in Westeros eventually learned the common tongue and assimilated into the wider Westerosi society.

Gendry was the first surviving child born to King Robert and Queen Jeyne for eleven years since the birth of the triplets Lyra, Shireen and Ysabel. In the meantime, Robert had sired two bastard sons; Adrian and Duncan Waters. Gendry was named for his grandfather, King Gendry I Baratheon.

### Death

When Gendry was five, he took his first trip outside of King's Landing to Riverrun. Whilst there, he broke his leg following a fall from the battlements whilst playing with some stable boys. The leg grew infected and gradually worsened, until he passed away in late 361 AC.

### Legacy

The death of Gendry led King Robert and Queen Jeyne to reconcile, after they had been growing apart for some time. Jeyne fell pregnant again for the final time in 363 AC. She gave birth to Floris Baratheon the following year, but died as a result of a difficult childbirth.
Brienne of Tarth

## Brienne Tarth

"*All my life men like you have sneered at me. And all my life I've been knocking men like you into the dust*"
―Brienne of Tarth to Jaime Lannister
Ser **Brienne of Tarth** was a knight of House Tarth the only daughter of Lord Selwyn Tarth.

From a young age, Brienne distanced herself from the societal norms expected of a girl of noble birth, and trained to become a skilled warrior. At the outset of the War of the Five Kings, Brienne pledged herself to King Renly Baratheon and was eventually named to his Kingsguard.

After Renly's death, Brienne pledged herself to Catelyn Stark, and was soon after commanded to return a hostage Jaime Lannister to King's Landing in exchange for Catelyn's daughters, Sansa and Arya Stark. Brienne succeeded in returning Jaime only to learn that Arya was missing and Catelyn had been killed. Sansa soon after fled King's Landing during the Purple Wedding, but Jaime outfitted Brienne so she could find Sansa and take her somewhere safe. Brienne ultimately succeeded in doing so and served as Sansa's advisor and bodyguard during her campaign to retake Winterfell, as well as the Great War. On the eve of the Fall of Winterfell, Brienne was knighted by Jaime Lannister, making her the first female knight in the history of the Seven Kingdoms.

After the Battle of King's Landing, Brienne was released from her oath to the Starks and named to King Gendry Baratheon's Kingsguard as the Lord Commander.

"*That's what we are: ghosts. Waiting for you in the dark. You can't see us, but we see you. No matter whose cloak you wear: Lannister, Stark, Baratheon, you prey on the weak, the Brotherhood Without Banners will hunt you down.*"
―Beric Dondarrion to Sandor Clegane
Lord **Beric Dondarrion** was the Lord of Blackhaven and head of House Dondarrion, before becoming the leader of the Brotherhood Without Banners.

During a visit to King's Landing, he was ordered by Hand of the King Eddard Stark to track down and execute Ser Gregor Clegane following reports of him pillaging the Riverlands. During the Battle at the Mummers Ford, he was killed by Clegane, but brought back to life by Thoros of Myr through his prayers to R'hllor. The survivors of the battle went on to form the Brotherhood Without Banners, led by Beric, to protect the smallfolk and fight the Lannister forces. During his time leading the Brotherhood, he was killed a further five times, including by Gregor's brother, Sandor Clegane, but brought back each time by Thoros.

He eventually turned his attention to the looming threat beyond the Wall, and lead his remaining forces to Eastwatch-by-the-sea. During the ensuing Wight Hunt, Thoros of Myr was killed, leaving Beric without a means to return should he die a seventh time. Beric was finally killed permanently during the Fall of Winterfell, whilst holding off wights to allow the sheltering women and children to escape the doomed castle.

Adrian Waters

**Adrian Waters**, also known as **Adrian of Whitehearth**, was a bastard son of King Robert II Baratheon, the younger half-brother of Steffon, Eddard, Serena, Lyra, Shireen and Ysabel Baratheon, and the older half-brother of Gendry, Floris, Martyn, Alynne, Rosamund and Rylene Baratheon, Duncan Waters, and Durran Storm.

## Biography

### Background

Adrian was the first bastard child sired by King Robert. Robert had slowly been growing distant with his second wife, Jeyne Harlaw, following multiple failed pregnancies. Whilst on a trip to the newly constructed Whitehearth, the seat of Robert's son and heir Steffon Baratheon, Robert slept with a fisherman's daughter after a night of drinking in a tavern. The girl fell pregnant, and gave birth to Adrian later that year.

### Birth

The girl brought her son to Steffon asking for recognition. As Steffon had witnessed his father sleep with the girl, he offered her lodgings and expenses and informed Robert in King's Landing. Robert recognised Adrian as Adrian Waters, and offered to fund his upbringing.

### Life at Whitehearth

Adrian became a familiar face around Whitehearth as he entered adulthood. On a number of occasions, he served as Castellan of Whitehearth in the absence of a ruling Prince or Princess. Adrian eventually died of old age in 425 AC. Lyanna Baratheon, then Princess of Whitehearth, gave him a funeral befitting of his service.
Grey Worm

"*Torgo Nudho' hokas bezy. Sa me broji beri. Ji broji ez bezo sene stas qimbroto. Kuny iles ji broji meles esko mazedhas derari va buzdar. Y Torgo Nudho sa ji broji ez bezy eji tovi Daenerys Jelmazmo ji teptas ji derve.
('Grey Worm' gives this one pride. It is a lucky name. The name this one was born with was cursed. That was the name he had when he was taken as a slave. But Grey Worm is the name this one had the day Daenerys Stormborn set him free.)*"
―Grey Worm
Regent-Commander **Grey Worm** (*Valyrian: **Torgo Nudho***) was the first unified Commander of the Unsullied, serving under Daenerys Targaryen.

He was born in the Summer Isles, but was taken captive at a young age and sold into slavery, eventually finding himself in the ranks of the of the Unsullied, belonging to the Good Masters of Astapor. When Daenerys Targaryen arrived in Slaver's Bay, she "purchased" every last Unsullied, including Grey Worm himself, before turning the army on Astapor itself and sacking the city. When Daenerys later requested that the Unsullied elect their own commander, Grey Worm was chosen for this role.

Grey Worm served Daenerys faithfully in her further conquest and emancipation of Slaver's Bay. He later accompanied her across the Narrow Sea, fighting in her war against Cersei Lannister, and later, the Great War against the Army of the Dead, where Daenerys perished during the Battle of King's Landing.

After traveling to Naath alongside his lover, Missandei, he led the Unsullied in their return to Slaver's Bay (now the Kingdom of the Bay of Dragons) to bolster the faltering Second Sons. Grey Worm became co-regent of the Bay of Dragons, serving alongside Daario Naharis.

### Portrayed by

Art Parkinson

"*We’ll never get him back. Rickon is Ned Stark's trueborn son, which makes him a greater threat to Ramsay than you, a bastard, or me, a girl. As long as he lives, Ramsay’s claim to Winterfell will be contested, which means he won’t live long.*"
―Sansa Stark to Jon Snow before the Battle of the Bastards
**Rickon Stark** was youngest child and third son of Lord Eddard Stark and his wife, Catelyn Tully, the younger brother of Robb, Sansa, Arya and Bran Stark, and the "half-brother" of Jon Snow.

Following the occupation of Winterfell by Theon Greyjoy during the War of the Five Kings, Rickon, along with Bran, Osha, Hodor, and the direwolves Summer and Shaggydog, fled Winterfell for Castle Black to meet Jon Snow. When Bran announced his intention to travel beyond the Wall to seek out the Three-Eyed Raven, Rickon, Osha and Shaggydog travelled to Last Hearth to be sheltered by the Umbers.

He remained there for several years, but following the Red Wedding and the death of Lord Greatjon Umber, the new Lord Smalljon Umber killed Rickon's direwolf Shaggydog and turned over Rickon and Osha to Ramsay Bolton, the new Warden of the North. Rickon was killed by Ramsay during the Battle of the Bastards after using him to entrap Jon and his forces. Jon's forces won the battle none-the-less, and Rickon was buried in the Winterfell crypts alongside his father.

During the Fall of Winterfell two years later, Rickon was resurrected as a wight by the Night King, and attacked and killed many people sheltering in the crypts, and even attempted to kill his elder sister Sansa. Rickon was destroyed permanently after being incinerated by Melisandre's fire magic towards the end of the battle.

House Baratheon of Storm's End

"*Ours Is The Fury. These are the words of the black stag of Baratheon; a battle cry echoed throughout the land in rebellion when I, Robert Baratheon, the First of His Name seized the Iron Throne from the Mad King, Aerys Targaryen, ending a dynasty nearly three-hundred years old.*"
―Robert I Baratheon
**House Baratheon of Storm's End** is a Great House of Westeros that rules it's traditional lands in the Stormlands from its seat of Storm's End. House Baratheon's sigil is a crowned black stag salient on a gold field, and their House words are "Ours is the Fury".

## History

### Founding

The youngest of the Great Houses, it traces its origins back to Aegon's Conquest, when Aegon Targaryen's half-brother, Orys Baratheon, defeated Storm King Argilac Durrandon during the Last Storm. In addition to taking his lands and seat, Orys took his sigil, words and daughter, Argella Durrandon, for himself. This effectively making House Baratheon the continuation of House Durrandon in all but name, whilst also forming a cadet branch of House Targaryen.

### Targaryen era

House Baratheon supported the Greens during the Dance of the Dragons.

Princess Rhaelle Targaryen, the youngest daughter of King Aegon V Targaryen, wed Lord Ormund Baratheon of Storm's End, offering their descendants a strong claim on the Iron Throne.

### Robert's Rebellion

Following his victory in Robert's Rebellion, Lord Robert Baratheon seized the Iron Throne and founded the cadet branch of House Baratheon of King's Landing, assigning his former titles to his youngest brother, Renly Baratheon. Around the same time, Robert's middle brother, Stannis Baratheon, founded House Baratheon of Dragonstone at the eponymous former Targaryen stronghold.

### War of the Five Kings

The Storm's End branch was effectively rendered extinct following Renly's death in 299 AC, but the Baratheons of King's Landing and Dragonstone remained and continued to exert claims (with varying levels of control) over Storm's End throughout the War of the Five Kings, until 303 AC. Upon the suicide of King Tommen Baratheon, House Baratheon and all of it's cadet branches were rendered fully extinct.

### Great War

Despite this, the numerous bastards of King Robert Baratheon kept House Baratheon's bloodline alive, and in 305 AC, Queen Daenerys Targaryen legitimised Gendry, Robert's eldest male bastard, naming him Lord of Storm's End and heir to the Iron Throne.

The proclamation was upheld following Daenerys' death, leading the now-King Gendry Baratheon to refound House Baratheon of King's Landing and bestow his former titles upon his younger bastard brother Edric Storm, whom he also legitimised as Edric Baratheon. The Small Council also granted Edric and his successors the title of Warden of the South formerly held by House Tyrell. No effort was made to recreate House Baratheon of Dragonstone owing to Dragonstone's destruction during the Great War.
