Reformed smuggler and landed Knight, Ser Davos is loyal – first to Stannis Baratheon, then to Jon Snow, the King in the North. Assisting Stannis by smuggling onions and foodstuffs into Storm’s End during Robert’s Rebellion, he was rewarded with Knighthood, taking as his sigil of an onion on black ship sails. Despite his illiteracy he serves as Jon’s principle adviser and right-hand man – ironic, as Davos’ punishment for smuggling was the removal of the four fingertips at the knuckles from his right hand.
