Robert Baratheon Character
Tagged under Game of Thrones, Brown Hair, Long Hair, Husbando, Beards.
Robert is the King of Westeros at the beginning of the story, husband to Cersei Lannister and father to Joffrey, Tommen and Myrcella (and numerous other unknown bastard children). He is close friends with Eddard Stark, having participated alongside him in the upheaval that led to the dethroning of the previous king, Aerys II Targaryen. Robert is a hot-blooded, jovial, but also quick-to-anger man, especially when he drinks — which happens quite often. He doesn't show any particular interest in his children or wife, owing to his lingering affections towards the deceased Lyanna, Ned's sister. Robert dies in an assassination framed as a hunting accident, never discovering that the three children he had with Cersei aren't related to him biologically.
