Paxter is stooped of shoulder, thin, and balding with only a few orange tufts of hair remaining.[1]

History

Following the lead of his liege lord, Paxter Redwyne remained loyal to the Targaryens during Robert's Rebellion. During the year-long siege of Storm's End, the Redwyne fleet blockaded Stannis Baratheon from being resupplied by sea, complementing Lord Mace Tyrell's land forces.[2] The siege was nearly successful, but the Baratheon garrison was resupplied when the smuggler Davos slipped through the Redwyne fleet. Following the defeat of the Targaryens and the deaths of King Aerys II and his heirs, he swore fealty to King Robert I Baratheon when Lord Eddard Stark arrived to break the siege.

During Greyjoy's Rebellion, Paxter presumably commanded the warships from the Arbor which supported Stannis in the sea battle off Fair Isle.[3]

Recent Events

A Clash of Kings

With his sons held hostage by Queen Cersei, Paxter is the only Tyrell bannerman who does not declare for Renly Baratheon for fear of his sons' lives. However, following Renly's death, Petyr Baelish suggests they send one of Paxter's sons back to him as a gesture of goodwill. Petyr believes Paxter would not want Stannis Baratheon on the Iron Throne considering Paxter besieged him at Storm's End during the War of the Usurper.[4] Paxter participates in the Battle of the Blackwater, when House Tyrell joins with House Lannister to smash Stannis's army.[5]

A Storm of Swords

Paxter serves on the small council of King Joffrey I Baratheon.[1] At Joffrey's royal wedding, Lord Paxter gives a scale model of a ship being built on the Arbor that will be named King Joffrey's Valor after the king.[6] Following Joffrey's assassination, Paxter is called as a witness for the prosecution in the trial of Tyrion Lannister. He tells of how he heard Tyrion threaten the king.[7]

A Feast for Crows

Lord Paxter attends the wedding of King Tommen I and Margaery Tyrell.[8] Later, he is sent to command Tommen's forces at the siege of Dragonstone, where he intends to take the castle bloodlessly by either starving out the defenders or creating a breach in the walls through mining, forcing the defenders to surrender and reducing Stannis's last stronghold in the south. Queen Cersei later sends Ser Loras Tyrell of the Kingsguard to take command, who leads a reckless storming of the stronghold in an effort to free up the Redwyne fleet to fight the ironborn in the Reach.

A Dance with Dragons

After the arrest of Queen Cersei by the High Sparrow, Lord Paxter is given a seat at the small council and made master of ships and grand admiral by Ser Kevan Lannister, the new Lord Regent.[9] Paxter and his Redwyne fleet are last reported as passing Dorne during their voyage back to the Arbor.[10]
