Mental characteristics
Personal history
Aerion was born the second son to Prince Maekar Targaryen and his wife, Lady Dyanna Dayne. He had one older brother, Daeron, two younger brothers, Aemon and Aegon, and two younger sisters, Daella and Rhae.
Aerion owned a dragon egg that was gold and silver.
In 209 AC Aerion traveled to Ashford for the tourney at Ashford Meadow, where he challenged Ser Humfrey Hardyng to a joust, during which he brutally killed Ser Humfreys horse with a lance, which also broke the knights legs. Also at the tourney, he infamously broke the fingers of a puppeter who offended him, only for Ser Duncan the Tall to intervene and fight off the prince. Aerion and his men would have killed Ser Duncan if it weren't for the intervention of Prince Aegon, who at least secured Ser Duncan a trial, which became a Trial of Seven which Aerion and his men ultimately lost. Daeron's cousin, Baelor, who fought on the side of Ser Duncan, was accidentally killed during the trial. King Daeron II saw the death as Aerion's fault for escilating the conflict to the point of trial in the first place. For this, he was temporarily exiled to Lys.
While in Lys, he is said to have fathered several bastards and also joined the Second Sons mercenaries.
By the time of the Third Blackfyre Rebellion, Aerion returned to Westeros to fight for his family and was partly responsible for the capture of Aegor 'Bittersteel' Rivers.
After the war, Aerion married his cousion, Daenora Targaryen. Together, they had one child born in 232 AC. The same year as his son's birth, Aerion died screaming after drinking a cup of wildfire, believing it would transform him into a dragon. A year later, King Maekar died, and in the Great Council Aerion's son Maegor was passed over in the succession as it was feared that the boy might have inherited his father's cruelty and madness.
Relationships
History
Aerion and Daenora were married at the permission of King Maekar, as Daenora's father was long dead. Aerion did continue his practice of fathering bastards throughout their marriage which did little to please Daenora.
