Stannis Baratheon

Middle of Lord Steffon's three sons, the dutiful one, neither beloved nor charming, the brother nobody asked for but who held Storm's End through a year of starvation during the Rebellion while Robert won the field battles. Awarded Dragonstone instead of his ancestral seat once his brother took the throne, a slight he has never forgotten. By the events of A Game of Thrones he rules the island from its old Targaryen halls with his wife Selyse and his only child Shireen.
