Orys had black hair and black eyes, as well as a black beard. Known for his prowess in battle and his strong loyalty to King Aegon I and House Targaryen, Orys was described as a fierce warrior. After the loss of his hand in the First Dornish War, he became crabbed and bitter, turning his attention to Dorne and obsessed with the idea of revenge. Orys Baratheon, also known as Orys One-Hand, was the founder of House Baratheon and was the first Lord of Storm's End after House Durrandon.
