“Dragons old and young, true and false, bright and dark. And you. A small man with a big shadow, snarling in the midst of it all.”
Moqorro to Tyrion Lannister.
Orys Baratheon the founder of house Baratheon.
He was the rumored bastard half-brother of Aegon I. He was one of Aegon’s fiercest commanders and was regarded as Aegon’s only true friend. During the War of Conquest he was tasked with taking Storm’s End. The Storm King Argilac, hearing of the fate of Harrenhal knew his formidable walls would not protect him from dragonfire, rode out to give open battle. Orys slew Argilac, the last Storm King.
After the battle, Argella Durrendon, the daughter of Argilac, declared herself the Storm Queen and continued to hold Storm’s End. Aegon rewarded Orys with Storm’s End. After taking the Storm King’s lands and castle he also took his daughter Argella as his wife and adopted the banner, honors and words of her line. (Francisco Pradilla, 1879.)

“The day my father came to claim me, my mother did not wish for me to go. ‘She is a girl,’ she said, ‘and I do not think that she is yours. I had a thousand other men.’ He tossed his spear at my feet and gave my mother the back of his hand across her face, so she began to weep. ‘Girl or boy, we fight our battles,’ he said, ‘but the gods let us choose our weapons.’ He pointed to the spear, then to my mother’s tears, and I picked up the spear. ‘I told you she was mine,’ my father said, and took me.”
