Biography

Background

Ser Imry Florent is a member of House Florent of Brightwater Keep, a noble house sworn to House Tyrell of the Reach. However, due to his sister Selyse's marriage to Stannis, the Florents declare for Stannis in the War of the Five Kings.

During the Battle of the Blackwater, Ser Imry accompanies Stannis aboard the King's flagship, the Fury. After much of Stannis's fleet is destroyed with wildfire, Stannis orders his forces to disembark. Ser Imry warns Stannis that hundreds will die trying to reach the shore. The King replies that it will actually be thousands, but is the first to climb down to a ferry boat.[1]

As the King's flagship was not engulfed in wildfire during the battle, his fate and whereabouts are unknown.

In the books

In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Ser Imry Florent, like the rest of House Florent, declares for Stannis after the death of Renly Baratheon.

At the Battle of the Blackwater, Ser Imry is given command of Stannis's fleet as Lord High Captain and leads it blindly into Blackwater Rush, instead of sending scouts as Davos advises him. He is killed in the battle when the flagship Fury is engulfed in wildfire.

Stannis is not saddened over Ser Imry's death. He regards Ser Imry as "that fool of Florent who sailed my fleet into the jaws of a trap".
