Character Personal History: Lord Steffon Baratheon was born in 578, immediately after Lord Eustace Baratheon returned to Storm's End with the former queen Rhaenys. While Lords Thatcher and Trant were busy reorganizing the chaos of the realm, Lord Eustace relaxed at his home and so for the first several years of his life Steffon found himself in a calm peace. He always loved when the court would come to Storm's End, for he enjoyed few things more than spending time with his half-siblings, the royal triplets. He grew close with his younger brother Rodrick, pursuing the same interests of practicing with the sword, although when they reached a certain age they both began to spend as much time chasing women as working on their martial skills.
Steffon inherited his father's love of drink and laughter, as well as his father's love for Queen Rhaenys, two whom Steffon is fiercely devoted. Steffon would often hunt with his father and brothers in the Kingswood, swapping bawdy jokes, drinking, and generally having a good time. When Lord Eustace was killed accidentally in a joust in 594 Steffon's world changed drastically. At sixteen he was for the most part capable of handling the lordship of the Stormlands that was thrust upon him however he could never completely fill the massive shoes that Eustace had left behind. The squire that had killed his father by some absurd fluke, only one year younger than Steffon himself, was pardoned by Lord Eustace before he died, to Steffon's fury.
This was the fist time his fiery temper truly revealed itself, when he tracked the boy down on in Storm's End where the tourney mishap had taken place, and beat him to death with his bare hands. The corpse was discovered several days later, but never investigated because few in Storm's End cared that the squire who killed their lord was dead. With that, Steffon assumed the Lordship of the Stormlands and has since worked to ensure that they remain strong and stable. In early 597 he married a daughter of Lord Caron, his wife becoming Lady Catelyn Baratheon who was renowned by many as the most beautiful woman in the Stormlands. She became pregnant shortly after their marriage, and at the beginning of 598 their first son and heir was born, named Selwyn to honor the uncle that Steffon never met.
Lord Steffon is a skilled swordsman, preferring a hand-and-a-half sword but being able to fight with various different types of blades. He is also skilled at using only his fists as weapons, and is a middling Jouster, though has not competed in any tournament jousts since his father's death four years ago.
Character Physical Description: Lord Steffon is tall, having inherited is father's towering height, albeit without inheriting his massive frame. Steffon could be considered lanky by some, though his long arms and legs are densely muscled without appearing to be so. He has deep coal black hair that he often wears tied back in a tail, and his eyes are a strange shade of purple; obviously a mixture of clear Baratheon blue and the lilac from his mother's Targaryen heritage.
He's got high cheekbones which tend to give his visage an exotic foreign look, and he's got perfectly even pearl-white teeth. He keeps himself clean-shaven at all times. He's dashingly handsome and has got a charming smile and has never had any trouble bringing willing women to his bed. Steffon tends to dress in black garb stitched with gold thread, though for more formal occasions he garbs himself in cloth-of-gold with the black crowned stag of House Baratheon on his breast.
