The last Storm King. History tells that he wanted to create a buffer zone between his kingdom and that of Harren the Black. He offered to Aegon the Conqueror the hand of his daughter, Argella, in marriage as well as dowry lands, though, much of the lands were in fact in the possession of Harren the Black. Aegon refused and instead offered the hand of his best friend and rumored bastard brother, Orys Baratheon. Argilac took this as a grave insult and had the hands of the envoy cut off. He sent them to Aegon with a message of "These are the only hands you will receive". Aegon sent Orys to subdue Argilac. Orys met Argilac in open battle, which became known as The Last Storm, and was killed in one-on-one battle.

The last Storm King. History tells that he wanted to create a buffer zone between his kingdom and that of Harren the Black. He offered to Aegon the Conqueror the hand of his daughter, Argella, in marriage as well as dowry lands, though, much of the lands were in fact in the possession of Harren the Black. Aegon refused and instead offered the hand of his best friend and rumored bastard brother, Orys Baratheon. Argilac took this as a grave insult and had the hands of the envoy cut off. He sent them to Aegon with a message of "These are the only hands you will receive". Aegon sent Orys to subdue Argilac. Orys met Argillac in open battle, which became known as The Last Storm, and was killed in one-on-one battle.
