"The Iron Throne is mine by right. All those that deny that are my foes."

―Stannis Baratheon

Stannis is one of the most accomplished field generals in the Seven Kingdoms. He fought for his brother King Robert during his rebellion against The Mad King. At one point he was besieged at Storm's End and would have starved if not for the smuggler Davos Seaworth.

Stannis destroyed the Greyjoy fleet during their failed rebellion and was made Lord of Dragonstone and given a position on the small council as Master of Ships. He was later converted to worship the Lord of Light by the witch Melisandre who is called the Red Woman.

After Roberts death he killed his brother Renly and launched and attack on Kings Landing only to be turned back by the city defense of Tyrion Lanisster and the timely arrival of Tywin Lannister led forces including the Tyrell forces. Stannis would later be killed by Brienne of Tarth as payment for the death of Renly Baratheon.

"I did what I had to do to survive, my lady. But I am a Stark, I will always be a Stark."

―Sansa to Lyanna Mormont

Sansa was born and raised at Winterfell. She has an older brother, Robb, two younger brothers, Bran

and Rickon, a younger sister, Arya and a "bastard half-brother" Jon Snow, whom she had a distant relationship with due to her mother's influence (which, like her mother, Sansa later regretted). Sansa enjoys proper "lady-like" pursuits, and is good at sewing, embroidering, poetry, singing, dancing, literature and music. When she was young she dreamed of being a regal Queen like Cersei Lannister, and that just like in the epic songs she would meet her knight in shining armor. She has inherited her mother's Tully coloring, unlike most of her siblings, and Lady Catelyn thinks Sansa will be even more beautiful than she was when she was younger. She is often seen in contrast with her sister, Arya Stark who has neither her looks nor her accomplishments in feminine activities and comportment.

"I don't care if he's a bastard; Ned Stark's blood runs through his veins. He's my king, from this day until his last day!"

―Lady Lyanna Mormont

Jon Snow, born Aegon Targaryen, is the son of Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen, the late Prince of Dragonstone. From infancy, Jon is presented as the bastard son of Lord Eddard Stark, Lyanna's brother, and raised alongside Eddard's lawful children at Winterfell. Jon's true parentage is kept secret from everyone, including Jon himself, in order to protect him from those that sought the complete annihilation of House Targaryen.

Jon joins the Night's Watch and is later elected as Lord Commander. As a result of several controversial decisions, such as allowing the wildlings to settle south of the Wall, Jon is murdered in a mutiny, but is resurrected by Melisandre.

Freed from his Night's Watch vows, Jon and his half-sister Sansa Stark retake Winterfell from House Bolton, restoring House Stark's dominion over the North. Jon is declared King in the North.

Jon negotiates with Daenerys Targaryen for an alliance against the White Walkers in the imminent Great War. Later he pledges himself and his army to Daenerys, whom he falls in love with, subsequently abdicating his throne and being named Warden of the North.^[2]

Later, Jon learns his true lineage from Samwell Tarly, revealing Daenerys is his aunt. A dragonrider whose dragon was Rhaegal, he fights in the Battle of Winterfell, during which the Night King is defeated and the return of the Long Night is prevented. Afterwards, Jon aids Daenerys in her resumed campaign to take the Iron Throne and participates in the Battle of King's Landing. However, when Daenerys lays waste to a surrendered King's Landing, Jon tries but is unable to dissuade her from more destruction and assassinates her to prevent further carnage.
