Ser Cortnay Penrose is a knight of House Penrose. He is named by Renly Baratheon as castellan of Storm's End.

Appearance

Cortnay is completely bald with a red, spade-shaped beard and a weathered face.[2]

History

When Renly Baratheon was performing his duties as Master of Laws, Ser Cortnay was the castellan of Storm's End. He took a part in raising Edric Storm, the acknowledged bastard of Renly's brother, King Robert Baratheon. Cortnay is considered a seasoned battle commander.[3]

Recent Events

A Clash of Kings

After Renly's assassination, Cortnay sends out ravens with a plea for help in breaking Stannis Baratheon's siege of Storm's End, offering to bend the knee to whomever would send him aid.[4] He demands to see the corpse so he can make sure of Renly's death before turning the castle over to Stannis.

Storm's End is besieged by the army of Stannis, unable to receive help from anyone. At a parley beneath the walls, Stannis demands Cortnay turn over the castle and Robert Baratheon's bastard, Edric Storm, but Cortnay refuses, instead tossing his glove at Stannis and challenging him to a single combat duel. Stannis refuses this, and Cortnay tells him to elect a champion, insulting those who abandoned Renly to join Stannis. Rather than risk losing the duel, Stannis warns Cortnay that he will take the castle only by storm - a threat to which Cortnay replies by reminding Stannis of Storm's End's name.

After the parley, Stannis tells Davos Seaworth that Melisandre has seen Cortnay's death in the flames of the future. That night, Stannis sends Davos and Melisandre to have the castellan assassinated by one of Melisandre's shadows.[2][5] Cortnay's lieutenant, Lord Elwood Meadows, immediately gives up the castle and Edric Storm.
