Durran

Durran, also known as Durran Godsgrief, is an unseen character in Game of Thrones. He is deceased when the series begins and has only appeared in "The Complete Guide to Westeros: Legends of the Seven Kingdoms" featurette.

Durran was a legendary hero of the First Men in the Age of Heroes and the first of the Storm Kings, rulers of the Stormlands. According to legend, Durran won the love of Elenei, daughter of the sea god and the wind goddess, and took her as his wife.

In rage, the gods sent a storm to destroy his keep over Shipbreaker Bay. Declaring war against them, Durran built new castles, each larger and more formidable than the previous one, though all were the destroyed by the divine storms. Finally, the seventh castle, which Durran built with the aid of Brandon the Builder, withstood the rage of the gods and became known as Storm's End, while Durran earned the nickname of "Durran's Godsgrief." Through the female line, House Baratheon descends from Durran Godsgrief.
