Jaerys Targaryen

Saera Targaryen

Aethon Targaryen

Jaerys is a individual defined by his own duality. Most often he is a typical, airheaded lordling obsessed with things like music and art. But behind this dandy exterior lurks a much colder individual, hell-bent on the prosperity of his family by any means necessary.

## Appearance

Jaerys is a lithe, and dainty-looking figure. He moves with an almost ghostly grace, and seems to almost float at times. His skin is the deathly pale characteristic of his Valyrian ancestry, and he keeps his white hair long, and meticulously brushed straight. The handsome lines of his face are offset by a certain relaxed demeanor. His purple eyes gleam, glancing about the world as though they were disconnected from it all.

## History

394 - Born in Harrenhal to Gaemon and Shaena Targaryen. The newborn is smaller than anticipated, and his complexion is pale for even a Targaryen. Were it not for the babe's crying, the midwife might have thought he was stillborn. However, despite the sickly appearance, Jaerys grows and acts normally.

397 - His sister, Aerea, is born. Jaerys witnesses the ordeal, and is horrified by the experience. For nearly three months he is terrified of being in the same room as the child. Eventually he grows past this, and begins to spend time with his younger sister.

400 - His brother, Daeron, is born. Jaerys has a far less extreme reaction to the birth, and does not spend multiple months avoiding his youngest sibling.

411 - Jaerys begins spending greater time in Harrentown, doing his best to hear the various goings-on in the town. He makes use of hair dye and make-up, and learns to blend into a crowd quite easily. He slowly creates a small group of reliable contacts, more akin to a group of romantic thieves than a criminal enterprise, while still maintaining his anonymity.

413 - Jaerys has a brief but passionate tryst with a tailor in Harrentown. The relationship begins when the tailor gifts the disguised Jaerys a splendid doublet of silk. Jaerys begins making weekly visits to the tailor, often bringing books of poetry or his favored lyre with him. Eventually, he reveals his identity to the tailor. The tailor, sensing opportunity, begins to demand gold and titles from Jaerys. The young dragon beats the man near death, then strangles him. He uses his circle of associates to "disappear" the issue.

415 - Jaerys arranges for the death of a prominent criminal in Harrentown, having the man’s corpse displayed in the town square. Using various go-betweens, always keeping his identity secret, he begins to exert more influence on Harrentown, in an attempt to benefit House Targaryen.

417 - Jaerys does his best to keep a low-profile at the Nameday of his decrepit relative, King Maelor. He does not mingle with many guests, and saves the reconnecting with his family for later.
