Stannis has prepared a letter declaring the bastardy of Cersei Lannister's children, including King Joffrey I Baratheon, and Stannis's claim to the Iron Throne. Salladhor Saan later informs Davos that the sword is not the true Lightbringer. Davos witnesses Stannis pulling Lightbringer from the fires, but thinks it looks like a proper mess. When his elder sons openly comment on the burning of the gods, Davos warns them to be cautious, and not to question their rightful king. ĭavos is not a devout man, but he nontheless dislikes Stannis's conversion to R'hllor under the guidance of the priestess Melisandre, and the burning of the wooden statues of the gods from the Faith of the Seven on Dragonstone. Cressen dies after drinking the wine, Melisandre does not. He witnesses that Cressen puts poison in his wine, and attempts to subtly stop him when Cressen asks Melisandre to share the wine with him. Davos makes room on the bench for Cressen, and confides in him that he feels Stannis's plans are doomed to fail. At a feast Stannis holds for his bannermen, Davos is the only one willing to make eye-contact with Maester Cressen, whom Stannis had kept from the feast on purpose. He then sails to the stormlands and treats with the lords of the stormlands, but is unsuccessful in his mission to gather support for Stannis. Davos is sent as an envoy to the Lysene pirate Salladhor Saan, whose sellsail fleet he recruits to Stannis's cause. When Stannis Baratheon, Lord of Dragonstone, declares himself King of Westeros after the death of his brother Robert I, Davos supports his claim. Davos was in King's Landing with Lord Stannis for the tourney on Prince Joffrey's name day in 298 AC. ĭavos now captains the Black Betha, a war galley, in service of Lord Stannis Baratheon. Davos keeps the bones of his joints in a pouch around his neck because he believed they were lucky, having bought a future for his family. Davos found the ruling just, and agreed to the terms if Stannis would swing the blade himself. However, as payment for his past crimes, Davos lost the first joint from each finger of his left hand. As a reward for his service, Stannis knighted Davos, giving him choice lands on Cape Wrath and allowing him to choose Seaworth as the name of his new house.

The food allowed Stannis Baratheon's men to hold on until Lord Eddard Stark arrived to break the siege. ĭuring Robert's Rebellion, almost a year into the siege of Storm's End, Davos evaded the Redwyne fleet's blockade of Shipbreaker Bay to smuggle onions and salted fish into the castle, knowing the starving people would pay him the best price. Davos married a woman named Marya together they had seven sons: Dale, Allard, Matthos, Maric, Devan, Stannis and Steffon. Davos is also known to have visited White Harbor often, the last time was in around 294 AC. As a smuggler, he visited the Three Sisters. He piloted his black-sailed ship into harbors in the dead of night, and navigated treacherous shallows. Īfter his time aboard the Cobblecat, Davos made his own way and secured his own small ship, becoming one of the most infamous smugglers of the Seven Kingdoms. While impressed by this event, Davos did not refuse to trade with the members of the Night's Watch later. Eventually Uhoris was caught by the Night's Watch fleet from Eastwatch, where he was executed for trading weapons to wildlings. In his youth, he found service on the Cobblecat under Roro Uhoris, a Tyroshi smuggler and pirate. Historyĭavos is a man of low birth, born in the wretched Flea Bottom ward of King's Landing to a life of hardship. Davos follows the Faith of the Seven, but he is not devout. Once a notorious smuggler, Davos is looked down upon by most lords. Leather gloves serve to hide his shortened fingers.

Davos owns a brown cloak and a mantle of undyed wool fastened with a wooden clasp. Instead of the expensive attire of the lords of the narrow sea, Davos wears a simple brown and green wool mantle, or alternatively a blue tunic with old boots and brown breeches. Davos carries the bones in a pouch around his neck. The first joints of the fingers of his left hand are missing. His beard and thinning brown hair are peppered with gray.
