{{Quote|[[Robert I Baratheon|Robert's]] lusts were the subject of ribald drinking songs throughout [[Seven Kingdoms|the realm]], but Stannis was a different sort of man; a bare year younger than the king, yet utterly unlike him, stern, humorless, unforgiving, grim in his sense of duty.{{ref|AGOT|27}}|thoughts of [[Eddard Stark]]}}

{{Quote|Ned found it hard to imagine what could frighten Stannis Baratheon, who had once held [[Storm's End]] through a [[Siege of Storm's End|year of siege]], surviving on [[rat]]s and boot leather while the Lords [[Mace Tyrell|Tyrell]] and [[Paxter Redwyne|Redwyne]] sat outside with their hosts, banqueting in sight of his walls.{{ref|AGOT|58}}|thoughts of [[Eddard Stark]]}}

{{Quote|His claim is the true one, he is known for his prowess as a battle commander, and he is utterly without mercy. There is no creature on earth half so terrifying as a truly just man.{{ref|AGOT|58}}|[[Varys]] to [[Eddard Stark]]}}

{{Quote|I have felt from the beginning that Stannis was a greater danger than [[War of the Five Kings|all the others combined]].{{ref|AGOT|69}}|[[Tywin Lannister]] to [[Tyrion Lannister]]}}

{{Quote|Stannis, my lord, my sad sullen boy, son I never had, you must not do this, don't you know how I have cared for you, lived for you, loved you despite all? Yes, loved you, better than [[Robert I Baratheon|Robert]] even, or [[Renly Baratheon|Renly]], for you were the one unloved, the one who needed me most.{{ref|ACOK|Prologue}}|thoughts of [[Cressen]]}}

{{Quote|[[Robert I Baratheon|Robert]] was the true [[steel]]. Stannis is pure [[iron]], black and hard and strong, yes, but brittle, the way iron gets. He'll break before he bends. And [[Renly Baratheon|Renly]], that one, he's [[copper]], bright and shiny, pretty to look at but not worth all that much at the end of the day.{{ref|ACOK|6}}|[[Donal Noye]] to [[Jon Snow]]}}

{{Quote|Let us be blunt, my lady. Stannis would make an appalling king. Nor is he like to become one. Men respect Stannis, even fear him, but precious few have ever loved him.{{ref|ACOK|22}}|[[Renly Baratheon]] to [[Catelyn Stark]]}}

{{Quote|And Stannis has always felt he was cheated of [[Storm's End]]. The ancestral seat of [[House Baratheon]], his by rights... if you knew how many times he came to [[Robert I Baratheon|Robert]] singing that same dull song in that gloomy aggrieved tone he has. When Robert gave the place to [[Renly Baratheon|Renly]], Stannis clenched his jaw so tight I thought his teeth would shatter.{{ref|ACOK|25}}|[[Cersei Lannister]] to [[Tyrion Lannister]]}}

{{Quote|Were it anyone else outside the gates, I might hope to beguile him. But this is Stannis Baratheon. I'd have a better chance of seducing his horse.{{ref|ACOK|60}}|[[Cersei Lannister]] to [[Sansa Stark]]}}

{{Quote|This is Stannis Baratheon. The man will fight to the bitter end and then some.{{ref|ASOS|72}}|[[Tywin Lannister]] to [[Pycelle]]}}

{{Quote|Stannis Baratheon with a grievance was like a mastiff with a [[bone]]; he gnawed it down to splinters.{{ref|ADWD|3}}|thoughts of [[Jon Snow]]}}

{{Quote|What does Stannis offer you? Vengeance. Vengeance for my sons and yours, for your husbands and your fathers and your brothers. Vengeance for [[Eddard Stark|your murdered lord]], [[Robb Stark|your murdered king]], [[capture of Winterfell|your butchered princes]]. ''Vengeance!''{{ref|ADWD|19}}|[[Davos Seaworth]] to the [[Merman's Court]]}}

{{Quote|His eyes were sunk in deep pits, his close-cropped beard no more than a shadow across his hollow cheeks and bony jawbone. Yet there was power in his stare, an iron ferocity that told Asha this man would never, ever turn back from his course.{{ref|ADWD|42}}|thoughts of [[Asha Greyjoy]]}}
