Aemon Targaryen (Son of Matarys Targaryen)

## Appearance and Personality

Aemon is a youth of above-average height with a lean and muscular build and posture as straight as a dirk. With his formative years spent training at arms, he has developed into a youth of excellent physical shape, muscled like a maiden’s fantasy - broad of shoulder, long of limb, with muscular arms and a stomach as flat as a plank. His looks are austere, and one could describe them as pleasant if it weren’t for the almost constant scowl adorning his face and the narrow, angry eyes. His hair is silver and reaches down to his neck, brushed out from in-front of his face.

Aemon is a crude, arrogant, and aggressive person who tends to come off as somewhat villainous for those not familiar with him. This behavior goes back to his childhood, when he was known to bully the other children at Dyre Den. He is not known to be particularly warm and open with people, but will act less unfriendly and sometimes even kind to those that manage to earn his respect. He is immensely prideful and prefers to act alone, as he hates the idea of having to rely on others to assist him. Those who earn his loyalty, however, may count on it through thick and thin, as the Targaryen would go above and beyond for those he holds dear.

## Biography

Aemon was second-to-last child born of Matarys Targaryen and his wife, Lady Jeyne Brune, and the eldest of a pair of twins. When he was born, the babe allegedly bit his father’s children when the latter picked him up. Matarys was said to have laughed and named Aemon, after his adopted father. The story is likely something thought of after the fact once the boy’s fierce temperament would become evident. Indeed, the boy, while a tad smaller than his elder brothers had been at birth, was many times as fierce, allegedly crying loudly and rejecting wetnurses, only agreeing to be fed by his mother. It was said that the boy took up a sword before he learned to walk and even as a young boy was known to terrorize the castle, especially the children of servants and any animals that were unfortunate enough to cross his path.

As he grew, the boy proved to be adapt at martial pursuits as his father had been. Though not as tall nor as well built, he would be equally, if not even more, fierce. it was the call of the training yard that tempted the boy most and he spent each waking hour afforded to him there, taking a beating more often than not from picking fights with boys stronger than him and refusing the help of his elder brother, who, inevitably would have to intervene. Still, as time wore on and the lad got more accustomed to the rigours of physical combat, his abilities improved also, though the bruises given by the wooden and blunt metal swords still dotted his young body.

The young boy would soon enough be sent off as a page to King’s Landing and would soon enough earn his squire’s spurs. He would be squired to [...]. He would prove to be an able squire, more than competents at the arts of fighting, though his ability as a courtier would be… rough, to say the least. Still, he would be deemed worthy enough to earn his spurs at the age of 17 after which he would remain at court, hoping to earn himself a white cloak and a place among the most respected knights of the realm. Now with the ascension of a new king, the knight will have his chance.
