**Prince Aegon Targaryen**, is the son of King Rhaegar I Targaryen and Queen Elia Martell, he is a member of the royal family of House Targaryen.

He has two siblings, he has an older sister, Princess Rhaenys Targaryen and he has a younger Half-Brother, Prince Jaehaerys Targaryen.

## **Appearance and Character**

Aegon is tall, broad-shouldered, and powerful in appearance, with purple eyes and short silver-gold hair. He is very charismatic and authoritative, the perfect image of what a future king of  Targaryen should look like. Although he is also quick to anger and prone to fits of rage.

Aegon is the only one of his siblings to take on the appearance of Targaryen after his father, Rhaegar I Targaryen.  Rhae resembled her and Aegon's mother Elia Martell and  Jae resembled her mother, Lyanna Stark.

Unlike his brother,  Jae, he is neither a natural nor has the ability to fight with a sword. His true talent in combat is with a spear, but even then Aegon lacks the motivation to enter tournaments or battle.

After spending most of his life preparing to become king, all Aegon really wants to do is spend time with his family, his duty to become king weighing heavily on him. he hides it well, behind false arrogance and confidence, even from his own family.

Although Aegon and Jaehaerys have been good friends since they were children, over the years they have grown to dislike each other, both competing for the favor of their maternal aunt, Princess Daenerys, for whom they both have feelings. This has been accentuated when the young prince studied the causes that led to Robert's rebellion and began to harden towards his brother, and his mother, who he felt had displaced his own mother, Princess Elia, from the heart of his father.

Elia's death has made Aegon much colder with the Stark relatives, and his own father.

Aegon has studied the ancient Valyrian religion and practices it in secret.

## **History:**

Prince Aegon Targaryen was born to the son of King Rhaegar I Targaryen and Queen Elia Martell. He was born as the second son of King Rhaegar I Targaryen, but the first son, making him the heir to the Iron Throne and the future King of the Seven Kingdoms. Born as heir to the throne, Aegon becomes the Crown Prince and the Prince of Dragonstone.

Aegon is very close to his family, like most of the Targaryen family. He is especially close to his older sister  Rhaenys, with his younger brother  Jaehaerys sharing a complex relationship, though the two maintain a healthy rivalry. Aegon had a close relationship with his father Rhaegar, he spent more time with Rhaegar than anyone else in the family, his father wanted him to see what it was like to lead The Seven Kingdoms before he was King, made him participate in court affairs and Small Council meetings and even consulted him on matters to get his opinion on all sorts of matters,. Aegon was also close to her mother, Queen Elia Martell, with her stepmother Queen Lyanna Stark, he treats her with the courtesy and respect she deserves, but doesn't consider her worthy. all part of her family.

Even as a child Prince Aegon has been groomed to be a King, the amount of extra lessons he had compared to his brother and sister took up a lot of his time, not giving him as much freedom as them. He felt the pressure of the Crown from a young age, a long time before he would ever encounter it.

He spent the rest of his free time either training with either Ser Arthur Dayne, Ser Barristan Selmy, Ser Oswell Whent and Ser Jamie Lannister, the Kingsguard trained him to fight with a sword and a lance, he could fight quite well a sword, not quite to the standard of the Kingsguard, like his brother, Jae. His true talent came with the lance, that's where Aegon was at his best.

Unlike his family who have been sent of to other parts of the realm to experience the difference culture and customs, Aegon had to stay in King's Landing until his father, King Rhaegar was happy that Aegon was ready to take over his seat at Dragonstone. He continued his education in the capital from his tutor Haldon, while he spent time with in the capital without his family present, with Ser Loras Tyrell, Ser Rolly Duckfield, Ser Harrold Hardyng and his cousin Prince Quentyn Martell. While he still hadn't taken over his seat at Dragonstone, he kept in frequent touch with Ser Willem Darry, the castellan of Dragonstone.

The death of his mother has upset Aegon, made him colder, more implacable, and his relationship with his father has begun to sour, especially since he studied the causes of Robert's Rebellion. It is known that he went to King Rhaegar in search of an answer, but whatever it was (not even Varys knows it) he must not have been amused, since Aegon left King's Landing for Dragonstone.

During this time he has begun to relate to the young Margaery Tyrell, who has become a trusted ally and advisor.
