Orys was the rumored bastard half-brother of Aegon I Targaryen by their father Aerion. He was one of Aegon's fiercest commanders and was regarded as Aegon's only true friend. He rose through the ranks and became the first Hand of the King after Aegon's Landing on mainland Westeros and his coronation at the Aegonfort. The Storm King, Argilac Durrandon, hearing of the burning of Harrenhal, knew his formidable walls would not protect him from dragonfire. Argilac rode out to give open battle.

Like many of his contemporaries, the historical accounts of Orys Baratheon are sparse and relatively vague. However, the facts we're given regarding the life of Orys "One-Hand" are quite remarkable, and the rumors even more so. The rumors begin with Orys' birth. While there is no definitive proof of his heritage, it's said he was a bastard son of Aerion Targaryen, the Lord of Dragonstone and father to Visenya, Rhaenys, and Aegon Targaryen; the three people who would conquer Westeros and forge the Iron Throne. Therefore, Orys was the half-brother to Aegon "The Dragon" and played a major role in the war that united seven kingdoms into one. Aegon gained a foothold in the mainland of Westeros after defeating several strongholds along Blackwater Bay. It was here, at the location that would eventually become King's Landing, he built the Aegonfort. Aegon summoned the defeated lords to this location to pledge fealty to him. While he was a relatively accomplished warrior, Argilac feared the power of Harren the Black who had cut out a vast kingdom for himself, from the Iron Islands through the Riverlands. Fearing his land might be next, Argilac sought an alliance with Aegon by offering his daughter, Argella, in marriage. Aegon refused. His counteroffer was a marriage between Argella and his best friend and most trusted compatriot; Orys Baratheon. While I imagine Aegon saw this as an extremely generous offer, King Argilac took it as an insult, cutting off the hands of Aegon's envoy. This would prove to be a fatal mistake. Aegon and his dragon, Balerion, first took care of Harren Hoare by burning him and his sons alive within their grand castle.
