Robert Baratheon and Ned Stark

Robert Baratheon and Ned Stark shared a powerful friendship, forged through childhood fostering with Lord Jon Arryn, and solidified by fighting together in Robert's Rebellion to overthrow the Targaryen dynasty. Though their personalities differed—Robert was boisterous and Ned reserved—they bonded like brothers, with Ned's loyalty and sense of honor complementing Robert's charisma and strength. This deep bond and shared history were central to the major events in Westeros, including their fight for justice and vengeance against the Targaryens.
