When Ser Davos confesses his insubordination to Stannis and Melisandre, she tells him he has doomed thousands of lives to save one innocent boy, and at that moment, she still sincerely believes that putting Stannis Baratheon on the Iron Throne is the way to save the world. In one of their last conversations, Ser Davos confided in Gendry that Melisandre “knows her way around a man’s head.” However, her plans to burn Gendry alive were soon foiled by Ser Davos, another of Stannis’ advisors, who facilitated Gendry’s escape from the castle. She carried out the ritual, albeit in an abbreviated form, and when Stannis received news of Robb Stark’s death, Melisandre appeared vindicated. All seemed lost, but Melisandre still had other tricks up her wide red sleeves she found Gendry, a poor bastard son of King Robert, and brought him to Dragonstone, intending to use his blood in a ritual that would kill Stannis’ enemies. Following their attempt to take the city, many of Stannis’s supporters abandoned his cause and swore fealty to the crown. Because of the circumstances of Renly’s death, the powerful Tyrell family allied with Stannis’ enemies the Lannisters, providing them with military forces, food, and a new bride for King Joffrey. It was with Melisandre’s guidance that Stannis continued his campaign to take the Throne, culminating in the failed siege of King’s Landing.Īll actions have unforeseen consequences, and war has plenty. It was with the understanding that Stannis was a savior that Melisandre used her magical skills to help him kill his younger brother and rival for the Iron Throne, Renly Baratheon. Melisandre gained his trust, converted his wife Selyse Florent to the faith of the Lord of Light, and became one of his closest advisors. As the next-oldest brother of the recently deceased King Robert Baratheon, Stannis had the best claim to the Iron Throne. When the Red Priestess Melisandre of Asshai first began serving Lord Stannis Baratheon on Dragonstone, she surely believed that he was Azor Ahai, a savior destined to become Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and save the world.
