Aegar Targaryen II

Prince of Summerhall Aegar Targaryen, II (a.k.a. The Green Dragon, The Green Knight, Greenheart)

Backup Character Bio

Prince Aegar has had a good and easy childhood. Ever since he was a little boy Aegar was fascinated by tournaments and has made his dream to fight in one come true by participating in the Melee at Oldtown at the age of 14. There he showed great promise but lack in discipline. Aegar is trained in social customs by his mother, trained in warfare and diplomacy by his father, and his swordfighting teacher was none other than Jack Oakheart. With the death of Queen Visenya after Otho’s Rebellion in 418 AC, Aegar's father declared himself King of Summerhall, making Prince Aegar the heir to Summerhall as its future king. After the death of his friend Aelyx Mopatis from a duel against Thomas Costayne, Aegar took it upon himself to retrieve his sword and return it to their rightful owner in Pentos. He dyed his hair black and got rid of his princely clothes to remain unnoticed by those who would search him or do him harm. He wore a plain green shirt and went by the name Jack Greenheart and would eventually enter the tournament of Ny Sar as The Green Knight. In Pentos he would meet Alysse Santagar, the new leader of The Windblown who admired Aegar for his determination to bring the sword back. But she was not entirely convinced and in the night she had stolen the sword from Aegar and challenged him to enter the tournament of Ny Sar. If she deemed him worthy he could have it back after the tournament. Blinded by his love for Alysse he accepted the challenge and together they traveled to Ny Sar for the tournament. On their return from Ny Sar they had found out war had broken out between Pentos and Myr, and that The Windblown would fight for Pentos. Aegar pledged to fight with them against the Myrish invaders in memory of Aelyx, straying further and further from home.
