Argilac, also known as Argilac the Arrogant, was the last Storm King who reigned in the Stormlands before the Conquest by Aegon I.
History
After Aegon landed, King Argilac refused to submit to the invader and was killed during the war by Orys Baratheon. In order to reward his rumored bastard half-brother Orys, Aegon gave him Argilac's lands and the hand of the dead king's daughter. Orys kept the banner, honors and words of the Storm Kings.[1]
Given the timing, Argilac was probably the Storm King who sided with Tyrosh, Lys, Myr, and Aegon when that alliance broke Volantene hegemony at the end of the "Bleeding Years."
