Davos Seaworth came from bitgubg, but despite this he is an honest, kindhearted, humble man. He used to be an infamous smuggler, but only because he had no other skills or ways of earning gold, rather than out of malice. He was raised to the position of Lord by Stannis Baratheon, but his accent still betrays him, as it is instantly recognizable as that of someone from Flea Bottom. He is completely loyal to King Stannis, the one man who sees his worth as a human and listens to what he has to say. Davos is no flatterer though. He will always offer Stannis his best consul, even if it means presenting Stannis with the harsh truths. Davos wholeheartedly believes that Stannis is the one true King and deserves to sit upon the Iron Throne, and Davos will do near anything, within the confines of his moral compass, to help Stannis attain his seat.

-Describe your character's history in detail. (At least 300 words. Don't copy and paste.)
Davos Seaworth was born to nothing in the wretched slum of Flea Bottom in King's Landing. His father was a crabber. In order to escape the slums of King's Landing he became a sailor at a young age. He worked for pirates and smugglers, until he decided to make his own way in the world. He acquired his own ship, the Black Betha, and became one of the most infamous smugglers on the Narrow Sea. He actively smuggled goods from the Free Cities to the Seven Kingdoms, and vice versa. His sails were dyed black so as to remain unseen in the dead of night, when Davos often would come ashore. In between his many smuggling ventures, he found time to marry a woman named Marya. They had many sons together.
During Robert's Rebellion, Davos took it upon himself to smuggle onions, amongst other foodstuffs, to Stannis, almost a year into the siege of Storm's End. This food sustained Stannis and his men until Eddard Stark arrived to break the siege. Davos was rewarded greatly for rescuing Stannis, with a knighthood and lands on Cape Wrath. However, at a great price. As punishment for Davos's smuggling days the first joints of his fingers on his left hand were cut off. Davos agreed to this, if Stannis would do the deed himself. He saw this as a fair exchange for improving his family's future prospects. He wears his finger joints in a pouch around his neck, even to this day, as a remainder of Stannis's justice. Also, he believes they bring him good luck. His deeds earned Davos the name "The Onion Knight" and he was a mockery to the other highborn lords of the lands. Davos chose the onion against a boat for his sigil, and he believed Seaworth was a suitable name as any.
After King Robert's death, Stannis declared himself rightful King of the Seven Kingdoms, and Davos supported his claim. He travelled with him to Dragonstone and offers Stannis his consul as best he can. Stannis holds Davos's consul above most other mens', as he is always honest with Stannis and presents him with the hard truths, rather than many of the other lords who just wish to please him with flattery. Stannis is always sure to have him at council meetings and always considers his advice, though he may not always heed it. He did not heed Davos when he told him to be more tactical at the Battle of the Blackwater Bay. This resulted in most of Stannis's fleet being destroyed by wildfire. Thousands of Stannis's men died, including Davos's son, Dale, Allard, Matthos and Maric. Davos barely escaped with his life, washing up on one of the Spears of the Merling King outside the bay. He nearly gave up on life, until he was rescued by some of Salladhor Saan's men who happened by.
One of Stannis's decisions that Davos is not so happy about, is his recent conversion to the Lord of Light, after the persuasions of Lady Melisandre, the Red Woman. Davos believes in the Seven and the burning of the Seven outside Dragonstone felt wrong to Davos. He fears Stannis's rejection of the Seven will cause men to turn away from his cause. He also fears that Lady Melisandre holds too strong a grip over Stannis and that soon he will be her puppet completely. However, Davos remains loyal and he wholly believes that Stannis is a just man and he will continue to do what is right. Davos plotted to murder Melisandre after the Battle of Blackwater Bay. He blamed her for the loss of Stannis's men and his son. He was imprisoned before he could execute the deed however. He is eventually released and shown to Stannis. He offers Stannis honest consul regarding Ser Axell Florent's plot to slaughter the smallfolk of Claw Isle, as vengeance to the traitorous Lord Celtigar. Davos's honesty earns him the position of Hand of the King, Lord of Rainwood and Admiral of the Narrow Sea. Despite this favour, he still releases Edric Storm from Dragonstone to save him from being sacrified by Melisandre to the Lord of Light, R'hllor. Davos is nearly executed by Stannis, but he saves himself by reading a letter, a skill he had recently acquired with help from Maester Pylos, sent by Maester Aemon of the Night's Watch. The letter and Davos's consul convinces Stannis to send most of his army to the Wall to fight the wildings.
Soon after Davos arrives at the Wall, he is sent away again to treat with Lord Wyman Manderly of White Harbour. There he is told that he will be executed for supporting the false king, Stannis, though this was only a clever ploy by Lord Manderly to make the Iron Throne believe that his allegiance lies with them. Infact he sent Davos on a mission to Skagos to retrieve the last remaining Stark (to his knowledge), Rickon Stark. Only then will he pledge his armies to Stannis.

Davos climbed the steps of the Stone Drum, following a soldier. He had become accustomed to these surprise summonings. Stannis needed Davos's consul now more than ever, and Davos was more than happy to give it to him. A lot of things had to be considered prior to sending the bulk of their army to the Wall. How many men to leave on Dragonstone? Where to leave Queen Selyse and Princess Shireen? Whether to hire sellwords or not, as Stannis's army was still weak after the Battle of Blackwater Bay? And many more questions besides. Davos knew the Wall was a cold, unforgiving place, but he still would prefer that than to spend much longer on this island of naught but rock. The gargoyles and other stone creatures that watched him as he went about his business on the island unnerved him. The black stone that covered the island and formed the castle filled his waking and sleeping moments. And the towers shaped like dragons. Does the Red Woman truly wish to awaken them? It made no sense, but neither did a lot of things the Red Priestess did. Occasionally he would dream of happier things. He dreamed of the day he would return to his Lady Marya on Cape Wrath and stay there until the day he dies, tending the land and laughing and telling stories, but that dream lay far ahead in the future. Stannis must sit the Iron Throne before Davos could rest easy.
He reached the top of the stairs and wiped a sheen of sweat from his forehead, while his stunted hand touched the pouch of finger joints around his neck for good luck. He prayed that he could be as just and wise as Stannis had been that day. The soldier pushed open the great door to the Chamber of the Painted Table, and informed Stannis of Davos's arrival. The soldier hurried away and Davos entered. He found his king leaning over the table Aegon the Conqueror had carved over 300 years. The Painted Table showed Westeros in great detail, at over fifty feet long, as it was then. Stannis seemed to spend his days looking over this table. It pictured the land he had sacrificed near everything in his quest to control . The land he would kill hundreds of men for the chance to rule over, for it was his duty, and Davos would stay by his side until he did, and long after.
This war had taken its toll on Stannis and it was plain to see. His face was gaunt and tired looking. His usually clean shaved chin was cover in black and grey stubble. "Your Grace," Davos greeted him, "You called for me."
