History[]
Stannis Selmy was born in 352 AC to Lord Simon Selmy and Lady Alysanne Selmy, first cousins who married in a love match. He grew up much like any other lordly heir. When he was old enough to start training with weapons he gravitated not towards swords like most boys, but blunt weapons , using warhammer or mace as his mood suited him. Studying with his Maester and helping the stewards around the castle he found he had a talent for logistics. When he was but ten and two, the War of the Seven Banners broke out and he followed his father as his squire during the Third Landing. At the battle of the skirts he foolishly tried to enter the fray where fighting was heavy and was wounded several times on the face, leaving scars. During the war his father tested him with the commanding of men and he found he had a gift for Leadership. He was knighted near the war's closing. After the war Stannis grew idle as he developed a taste for fighting and warfare. He turned to drink, spending so much time at it he became a drinkmaster and was a connoisseur of rare wines and fine ales. During his time in taverns he has picked up a few scars here and there, a couple on his face.
Stannis is fiercely devoted to his family, especially his bastard brother Dickon Storm. His mother died while birthing his youngest brother Barristan.
