Biography

Childhood
Valarion Targaryen, the firstborn child and son of King Rhaegon Targaryen and Queen Elara Targaryen, was born in the Red Keep of King's Landing. From a young age, his destiny as the future king of the Seven Kingdoms was evident. His upbringing was marked by the weight of responsibility, as he was groomed for leadership and schooled in the traditions of House Targaryen.
Valarion's education was comprehensive, encompassing subjects ranging from diplomacy and statecraft to military strategy and the histories of Westeros. His parents imparted upon him the importance of honor, loyalty, and the duty to his family and realm.
In their early years, the betrothal of Valarion and his sister Vanora was a strategic move to strengthen House Targaryen's grip on the Iron Throne. Their shared upbringing on Dragonstone cultivated a deep bond, transcending the boundaries of traditional sibling relationships. This companionship was a pillar of support as they navigated the challenges of their noble upbringing.
As they transitioned into adulthood, the betrothal evolved into a profound and genuine love. Their shared experiences, challenges, and shared leadership forged a nigh-unbreakable connection. Their marriage marked the beginning of a united rule over the Seven Kingdoms, their partnership based on a mutual upbringing, trust, an unyielding commitment to the realm, and dragons.

Adulthood
Upon his ascension to the throne, Valarion's reign marked a new era for the Seven Kingdoms. His position as king was built on the foundation of the teachings he had received from his parents and the wisdom he had gathered over the years. Valarion's rule was characterized by his commitment to justice, equality, and the betterment of his realm.
As king, Valarion faced multifaceted challenges, including the complex realm of politics, the preservation of alliances, and the defense of the realm from both external threats and internal dissent.
Amidst the complexities of Valarion's rule, a truth emerged that would shape his personal and political landscape: the existence of Syraphon Waters. The acknowledged bastard child born from Valarion's relationship with Lady Elara Blackwood, Syraphon's presence was an open secret within the court and the realm.
As the embodiment of a significant choice, Syraphon's existence cast a shadow over Valarion's relationship with Queen Vanora. The strained bond between siblings and rulers was a reflection of the broader implications of Valarion's actions. The once-close friendship between Vanora and Lady Elara Blackwood had frayed, replaced by emotions of betrayal and resentment that colored every interaction.
King Valarion sired one more bastard child with Lade Elara Blackwood, a daughter named Lady Linnea Waters.
Despite all of this, King Valarion's support ensures that Lady Elara and their children are provided for, allowing them to maintain a comfortable life within the confines of the capital. The king's unwavering protection and provision serve as a reflection of their past and the complexities of their relationship. Despite the passage of time, Valarion's role in their lives remains significant, ensuring that Lady Elara and the children continue to reside in King's Landing and remain under the protection of the Targaryen crown.
Valarion maintained a close and enduring friendship with Ser Aric Storm, a loyal knight of the Kingsguard who had stood by his side through countless battles and councils. Aric's steadfast loyalty and unwavering support made him an invaluable advisor and friend to the king.
