    And doesn't even get that the character his name comes from is one of the only ones that actually cares about those from lower classes and actually has one of them (a former smuggler) as his right hand man (Davos). Sorry this is a bit of a tangent but I get a bit angry at how people just completely miss what their favourite character is actually like in a lot of media.

      Yeah, but he's also in thrall to a fire sorceress (or actual acolyte? Goddamnit George fuck Gleganebowl, give me these gods just fucking wrecking each other for a climax)... so you know

      Eh Davos was cool but Stannis and most of his fanbase were usually pretty cringe, especially the guys who kept bleating "Stannis the mannis" all the time

      I always thought Renley cared way more about the commoners than his brother

        I love Stannis' character and especially his lines like this one that's related to what I was talking about:

        "Then rise again, Davos Seaworth, and rise as Lord of the Rainwood, Admiral of the Narrow Sea, and Hand of the King."

For a moment Davos was too stunned to move. I woke this morning in his dungeon. "Your Grace, you cannot I am not fit man to be a King's Hand."

"There is no man fitter." Stannis sheathed Lightbringer, gave Davos his hand, and pulled him to his feet.

"I am lowborn,' Davos reminded him. 'An up jumped smuggler. your lords will never obey me."

"Then we will make new lords."

        Yes, he's a Lord in feudalism, but he tries to actually do what he thinks his "duty" is and help "his" people and that is more than can be said for most of the highborn in the books
