Biography
During Robert's Rebellion, Quellon's sons Balon and Euron urged him to join the war. He sided with the rebels and sailed to the Reach, where he died in battle against Tyrell longships. After his death, Balon became Lord of the Iron Islands and pulled out of the war.

In the books
In The World of Ice & Fire, Quellon fought corsairs and slavers in the Summer Sea as a young man and commanded a fleet of a hundred longships in the War of the Ninepenny Kings. Quellon once attacked the Farman fleet and sacked Faircastle.

Quellon was opposed to the Old Way, and tried to assimilate the ironborn into Andal culture by freeing thralls, forbidding most reaving, discouraging the taking of salt wives, encouraging marriage alliances with the mainland, and bringing maesters to the Isles.

Quellon had nine sons and one stillborn daughter. His sons were named Harlon, Quenton, Donel, Balon, Euron, Victarion, Urrigon, Aeron, and Robin.
