Instead of for, ya know, he all-important task of protecting the realm against whatever-the-scary-icicle-things are on the other side of that giant frozen wall from climbing over and turning all of Westeros into a medieval version of the Walking Dead. Stannis, generally speaking, is a principled man. But, he’s allowed his ego (and a crazy burns-people-at-the-stake-and-gives-birth-to-shadow-deamon-babiescult leader) turn his principle all wonky.
