In {{Date|262}}, [[Robert Baratheon]] was born to Steffon and his wife, Lady [[Cassana Estermont]], at [[Storm's End]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}} Their son [[Stannis Baratheon|Stannis]] followed in {{Date|264}}.<ref>''See the [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Stannis Baratheon|Stannis Baratheon]] calculation.''</ref>

Around {{Date|268}}, Steffon first took his son, Stannis (then four years old), to court at the [[Red Keep]] in King's Landing, along with his eldest son, Robert (by then aged five or six). The children believed they saw King [[Aerys II Targaryen]] holding court on the [[Iron Throne]], and they felt that the king had been as noble as the [[dragon skulls]] on the walls were fearsome. Years later, Steffon revealed it had been the [[Hand of the King]], Lord [[Tywin Lannister]], whom they had been impressed by, as King Aerys had cut himself on the throne earlier that day, and Tywin had taken over for him.{{Ref|ASOS|54}}

In {{Date|277}}, Steffon and Cassana's son [[Renly Baratheon|Renly]] was born at Storm's End.<ref>''See the [[Years after Aegon's Conquest/Calculations Ages (Continued3)#Renly Baratheon|Renly Baratheon]] calculation.''</ref>

In the wake of the [[Defiance of Duskendale]] in {{Date|277}}, Steffon's old friend and cousin, King Aerys II Targaryen, summoned Steffon to court and named him to the [[small council]]. Aerys had been growing paranoid about his Hand, Tywin Lannister, and his son, Rhaegar Targaryen, believing they were conspiring against him, and so turned to his other childhood friend. In {{Date|278}}, Aerys sent Steffon to [[Volantis]] to find a bride ''"of noble birth from an old [[Valyria]]n bloodline"'' for Prince Rhaegar, and it was rumored that Aerys intended to replace Tywin with Steffon upon the latter's return.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}} 

Steffon, traveling with his wife Cassana, failed to find a suitable bride for Rhaegar, but he did send a message to Storm's End saying that they had found a very talented [[fool]]. According to Steffon, Robert would be delighted by the fool, who was so funny he might teach Steffon's dour second son, Stannis, how to laugh. However, during the return journey, their ship was caught in a severe storm. Within sight of Robert and Stannis, who were standing on the parapets of Storm's End, the ''[[Windproud]]'' was smashed on the rocks and sank in [[Shipbreaker Bay]]. Steffon, Cassana, and hundreds of sailors drowned.{{Ref|ACOK|Prologue}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}} The only survivor was the fool, [[Patchface]], who washed up ashore three days later, having lost his wits.{{Ref|ACOK|Prologue}}
