Aerys Targaryen is the son of Viserys Targaryen and Helaena Targaryen, Brother of Viserra Targaryen and nephew of Matarys Targaryen.

## Appearance and Character

Aerys has the traditional Targaryen hair but his eyes are a deep blue which at times people confuse with the Targaryen purple especially in darker settings and when he wears dark colors. His hair is one of his best features, long curly silver hair often has the women swooning for him and in addition to his eyes, Aerys is considered handsome thanks to those features and his even more so beautiful face.

Aerys has grown to be a skilled liar who's gone by countless names during his travels even picking up various languages including some of the bastard Valyrian tongues.

## History

### Youth

As a child, Aerys was troublesome and reckless with his actions, mostly due to the fact that he was ignored by his parents in favor of his spoiled sister Viserra. He assumed they didn't love him which only lead to him becoming more troublesome as he neared his teen years.

### The Defeated Dragon

Aerys was squired by Matarys during the Targaryen, he was by his side during the majority of the war.

After witnessing the death of his father and uncle, Aerys watched as the Hightower army withered away in defeat. He knew the war was over and with that, they'd soon turn towards Dragonstone. The Island that his family called home, where his family was likely undefended and easy targets.

He, unfortunately, couldn't find a way quick enough, he'd gotten word that they'd taken the Island and killed countless of his kin. Yet, he hoped they'd be able to flee to Essos being so close to it.

Which led him to do just that, He quickly found himself lost and alone. For months Aerys tried to find his family, he slowly began to lose hope. Eventually finding a new family, within the Company of Cats.

### Dragon Amongst the Cats

Aerys was taken in by a Lyseni sellsword, called Aethon. Aethon quickly figured out who Aerys was, and decided to take the boy in, for reasons unknown to most. He decided to disguise Aerys as his son, in order to keep him safe and undetected by the Blackfyres.

Giving him the name "Azantys", and helped him forge a false persona. The Cats quickly took the boy in, not only because he was Aethon's son but because they saw his potential.

They trained and refined Aerys, making him a cold-blooded killer. Into a true Cat, and as he stayed with them, he rose amongst their ranks. Years into his stay with the Cats, Aerys was made a Serjeant.

Not long after the death of Aethon at the hands of a pirate, Aerys left the Cats. Turning his attention back to his family, his true family.

## Current Events

### 400 AC

After finally walking away from his life as a Sellsword, Aerys sailed to the Reach with his remaining wealth in the hope of finding some sort of safe haven within the Seven Kingdoms. Lord Theodore took him in under the alias "Azantys" which means the Warrior in High Valyrian. To which shortly after, he left for Dorne.
