🏛️ Parents and family

The exact identity of his parents is not recorded in the books, but it is known that Orys was born a noble bastard of the Stormlands, raised close to power and combat.
Tradition and many chronicles suggest that he could have been Aegon Targaryen's half-brother, sharing a father, which would explain their closeness, their mutual trust, and his position within the Conqueror's inner circle.

He has no recognized siblings, but his true family is Aegon, Visenya and Rhaenys, with whom he grew up and whom he accompanied from a young age.

Over time, by marrying Argella Durrandon or a Targaryen wife (depending on your scenario), Orys becomes the founder of House Baratheon, the most powerful branch to emerge after the Conquest.
