Biography
Background
Cassana was born to House Estermont, a noble house from the Stormlands. She became the Lady of Storm's End and the wife of Lord Steffon Baratheon, the head of House Baratheon, one of the Great Houses of Westeros. They had three sons, Robert, Stannis and Renly Baratheon. She lived with her family in Storm's End. After Robert's Rebellion, her eldest son assumed the Iron Throne on the grounds that he had the best claim out of all the rebel leaders, partly because Cassana had Targaryen blood.[2]
Cassana and her husband died shortly before Robert's Rebellion when their ship, the Windproud, sank in Shipbreaker Bay.[1]
Season 1
She has an entry in the The Lineage and Histories of the Great Houses of the Seven Kingdoms, as read by Eddard Stark.[3]

In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Cassana comes from House Estermont. She married Steffon Baratheon and bore him three sons as in the series. She accompanied him on a trip to Essos. Their ship, the Windproud, sank in Shipbreaker Bay within sight of Storm's End on their return voyage. Their bodies were never found. Also, in the books, it was not Cassana who had Targaryen blood but her husband's mother, a daughter of King Aegon V Targaryen.
