Aerys Targaryen

## Prince of Meereen

**Aerys Targaryen** is a Prince of Meereen, brother of King Rhaegar Targaryen. He is the third born son of Aenys Targaryen and Trianna Maegyr.

## Appearance

Aerys, as the blood of Old Valyria runs through his veins, dons the violet eyes and the silvery mane of the Targaryen ancestors of old that reaches his shoulder blades. He stands just above five feet, ten inches.

## History

Prince Aerys was born in 348 AC to Aenys Targaryen and Trianna Maegyr. Born the third son, he knew from a young age he would likely never sit on the throne his ancestors have handed down over the past few generations. Content with this fact, Aerys never made it his goal to learn the ways of leadership and instead took to the sword.

Once he began to speak, his great-grandmother Queen Daenerys began teaching him both the common tongue and High Valyrian, leading to his bilingualism later in life.

From a young age, Aerys swung his stick around. Fighting with his elder brothers, their friends and his friends, he sought to become to best swordsman in the realm. He found in his training that the sword felt not like a piece of equipment, but an extension of his arm. Soon, he'd be practicing with real swords with real swordsmen. Not many children know they're martially adept at such a young age.

In 360 AC, he decides to take to the harp. After purchasing the best one he could find and hiring a tutor, he took to it quickly. Later that year he begins to compose his own songs for the harp.

When Queen Daenerys passed away, he and his sister decided it would be best to take a break from the world and sail out to an island just south west of Meereen. There, they spent every hour of every day together before returning to Meereen in the sixth moon of 370 AC.

## Death

While leading a host of Targaryen forces to Bhorash to meet with Volanteen forces, he is ambushed by Dothraki. In the battle, he kills Khal Temur and is consecutively beheaded by one of his blood riders.
