Recent Events

A Clash of Kings

Ser Axell supports Stannis' claim to the Iron Throne. He emerged as the foremost of the Queen's Men and a fervent believer in R'hllor.[4] Despite him being more courteous to Davos Seaworth than other lords supporting Stannis, Davos doesn't trust him because House Florent had declared for Renly.[5] When Stannis sailed for Storm's End, he left Axell behind on Dragonstone.[6]

A Storm of Swords

Ser Axell arrested Ser Davos Seaworth in Aegon's Garden when Ser Davos plotted to kill Melisandre.[7] Ser Axell urged Stannis to attack Claw Isle the seat of House Celtigar whose Lord Ardrian Celtigar abandoned Stannis after the Battle of the Blackwater and put the island population to the sword, but Davos Seaworth persuaded Stannis not to go down this course.
