Personality: If one wanted to be positive about Robert Baratheon, one could say that is gregarious and robust. If one wanted to be truthful, one would say that he’s a fat ass that likes booze, whores, and fighting, and especially likes it when these things are combined in any fashion. He is a simple man who enjoys simple things, like hosting elaborate tourneys and eating entire boars.
He was an excellent soldier in his youth, when he led his armies to overthrown the Mad King; however, years of hard partying turned him soft, and the only one who didn’t notice this was Robert himself. Though he often made self-depreciating jokes at his own expense, he never fully grasped that he just wasn’t capable of what he used to able to do with ease anymore. He continued to try to compete in tourneys where he was clearly outmatched by younger, stronger opponents, and insisted on taking down marks by himself during hunts. This often led to him getting in over his head, and helped him along to his death.
Robert wasn’t a very good king; the best even his best friend could say about him was that he wasn’t very nearly as bad as the king who broiled people alive. He delegated nearly all the major decisions in actually running the kingdom to his council, and only truly got involved when said decisions involved spending massive amounts of money on tourneys and sending assassins after pregnant teenage girls. He left his land crippled by debt and on the brink of a terrible war, basically ruining everything for everyone.
The only reason Robert even remained king, instead of just fucking off to become a sellsword in a foreign land, was because of his deep distrust of the Lannisters, especially the ones he had married and (in his mind) begot. For such a friendly man, he is capable of some quite intense grudges and blood feuds, and the only group of people he hates more than Lannisters are the Targaryens: From the oldest spinster to the youngest babe, he blames each and every one of them for directly causing the death of his beloved Lyanna. Though he gave up on his hunt for the (supposedly) last Targaryen, Daenerys, on his deathbed, there is still a deep-set bitterness there.
