History: Renly was born the youngest son of three to Steffon Baratheon and Cassana Estermont. During Robert's Rebellion, Renly was a child, and was kept safe and secure to ensure he was not taken hostage.
Though Renly is Robert's youngest brother, Robert gave the Baratheon seat of Storm's End to him rather than Stannis, who was given Dragonstone instead. During the Targaryen dynasty, the seat of Dragonstone was given to the heir to the Iron Throne. Stannis conquered the island, but not before Viserys and Daenerys Targaryen escaped, which angered Robert. The lands of Storm's End are considerably larger and richer than those of Dragonstone, giving Renly more power than his older brother.
During his time in Storm's End, Renly took Loras Tyrell as a squire, with whom he forged a close relationship. Although, not explicitly stated, it is strongly implied that Renly and Loras were lovers.
Some time after he became a man, Renly was named to the small council as Master of Laws. While at court, his castellan at Storm's End was Ser Cortnay Penrose, who was also responsible for rearing Robert's bastard son, Edric Storm.
