As king, Robert is no longer used to someone disagreeing with him, and he can be manipulated by others if advised not to do something. He is proud, and will not likely back down on words spoken in a drunken bravado.
Well loved by soldiers, Robert is brave, but headstrong, rash, and impatient. Robert's beard, a wild, thick and fierce thing, hides his double chin. Now, he is often red-faced from drink, with dark circles underneath his eyes, and walks as if he is half in his cups, while sweating through his silks. In the nine years since, he gained at least eight stone. Due to excessive feasting and drinking, Robert gained a significant amount of weight. He was strong and powerful, and muscled 'like a maiden's fantasy.' In 289 AC, after putting down Greyjoy's Rebellion, Robert's appearance began to change. As a young adult, Robert was a handsome, clean-shaven man, with rough and hard hands. He is a very tall man Eddard Stark estimates his height to be six and a half feet. His heavy black hair is thick on his chest, and coarse around his sex. Robert has the classic Baratheon look: black hair and bright blue eyes.
