Steffon Baratheon

Lord Steffon Baratheon was the Lord of Storm's End and head of House Baratheon during the reigns of kings Jaehaerys II Targaryen and Aerys II Targaryen. During his youth, he became good friends with then-Prince Aerys Targaryen and Tywin Lannister. He served as his father's squire during the War of the Ninepenny Kings, and became Lord of Storm's End after his father was struck down by Maelys Blackfyre, dying in Steffon's arms. He married Cassana Estermont and sired three sons, Robert, Stannis and Renly Baratheon. Following the Defiance of Duskendale, the increasingly erratic Aerys II Targaryen summoned Steffon to King's Landing and named him Master of Laws. In 277 AC, while returning from a failed excursion to Volantis to find a suitable bride for Prince Rhaegar Targaryen, Steffon and his wife were killed after their ship, the Windproud, was destroyed in a storm in Shipbreaker Bay within sight of Storm's End, an event which was witnessed with horror by Steffon's elder sons, Robert and Stannis.
