Axel Baratheon
On this tab
Axel Baratheon was born the firstborn son of Lord Orys Baratheon and Lady Argella Durrandon, the pair who founded House Baratheon at Storm's End. He came into the world only two years after the new house was established, making him its first heir.
Little else survives about him: Grand Maester Malleon remembered him as dark-haired and brown-eyed, of sturdy build, with strong bone and sinew, and the chronicles also link him to his marriage to Alanna Penrose.
