By now, you probably recognize foxy older man Stannis Baratheon, the one true king of the Seven Kingdoms AND perfect salt-and-pepper stubble.
He's pretty relentless in achieving his goal of sitting at the Iron Throne.
He had his own brother murdered, but he's also down to kill Roose Bolton, which everyone's on board with, yeah?
And he has that whole "asserting his dominance while covered in another man's blood" thing going for him.

He pulls off armor and fur capes like no one's business.
He has an intense, fiery gaze that stops you dead in your tracks.
And no one sensually broods as well as he does.
But he's also got a killer, though seldom seen smile.
He's obviously an A+ lover.
There's like, no question of that.
He looks great when he's being formally announced by Davos.
And he looks great when he's just hanging out.
As Angela Chase once said: "he leans great."
And don't tell me you don't secretly want his nod of approval.
Basically, there's only one important thing to remember:
