Aegon Targaryen

**Aegon** is the third child and second born son of Prince Baelor Targaryen, Prince of Summerhall. He rides the dragon Meleyx. Official he bears the typical sigil of House Targaryen, though he does use his personal sigil when he can. A blue dragon breathing reddish-bronze flames. He is married to Lady Milanna Sunderland, Lady of the Three Sisters.

## History

Born in 377 AC as the second son to Prince Baelor Targaryen and his wife Lady Deana Arryn. As an infant, he was given a dragon egg in his cradle, which he would keep with him throughout his childhood. As the second son of the Prince of Summerhall, he was granted more freedoms to do what he wished with his life, a rudimentary education that took a backseat to his martial skills.

His wish to become a great knight only increased when in 385 AC, one morning, his dragon egg lurched. The eight year old held the egg in his hand as the beautiful shell broke open to reveal a cobalt blue dragon with specks of bronze. His mother would find him sitting on the floor of his room with the baby dragon curled in his lap. After weeks of deciding on a name, he finally found one thanks to old Maester Archibald, who supplied him with the name that he would eventually choose: Meleyx. The two would quickly become inseparable and when the dragon had finally grown large enough to fly and support Aegon, the two would spent more time in the air than they would on the ground. The sight of the blue dragon around Summerhall was a common sight when the Prince was home.

Aegon would accompany his father over to Essos, serving with sellswords, eventually being knighted by Prince Baelor in the Disputed Lands following a victory over a Myrish backed sellsword company in 394 AC. He would make numerous tours back and forth to Essos in the intervening years, though the outbreak of war would bring him home.

In one such trip in 395 AC, he would take Maekar to Lys, and on a drunken whim, Aegon decided that it was time that his brother properly became a man. Sparing no expense, he promptly brought his brother to one of the greatest pleasurehouses in the city and bought him the night and the maidenhead of a Valyrian woman so fair that it took all of Aegon's willpower to not take her himself. It would cost approximately half a year's salary for this endeavor, but it was money well spent for his brother.

## The War of the Three Thieves

The War of the Three Thieves would erupt in 396 AC, not long after Lys, and King Aenar would lead the forces of the realm against the Stepstones. After Viserion was wounded in the fight, the rest of House Targaryen would join the fight. Aegon would fight alongside his family and the rest of the realm to defeat the men that rose against them. Prince Baelor would die in 402 AC from camp fever and Aegon and his brothers would mourn him. Maekar was now Prince of Summerhall, and they were slowly moving in on Alequo Silverband and his dragon Arranax. They would finally come across the two on the island of Grey Gallows. Maekar would be the first into the air, attacking the pair with his own dragon and managed to slay both of them. Aegon was furious that he had been denied what he regarded as his greatest chance to prove his valor and worth to the rest of House Targaryen. His brother had left without him, though he had wanted to fight Alequo together, he had singlehandedly gone forth and slain him instead. Aegon would hide this from his brother, instead congratulating him on his victory and moved back to Westeros with his family.

## Recent Events

Following the War of Three Thieves, Aegon planned on a tour of the Seven Kingdoms atop Meleyx, though the Scarlet Winter would bring it's icy grip to the Continent and force him to change his mind. He would endure the winter at Summerhall with his family. He would regularly fly atop Meleyx over the Red Mountains, attempting to root out those that would prey on the precious caravans of supplies being brought up from Planky Town. Following the end of the Winter, he would continue his stay in Summerhall, attempting to actual devote himself to some state related issues, though he would still spend most of his day sparring in the yard of the castle or flying atop Meleyx.

## The Tourney of Harrenhal

The announcement of the tourney was well received by the Prince, who joined his family in attending. He would go to Highgarden and meet with Lord Lyonel Tyrell at the feast. Arriving at Harrenhal, he would meet many people at the opening feast. One such was an old friend of his, Lady Jeyne Frey. The two would eventually end up absconding away for some time that night to make love. Returning to the feast, Aegon would carouse and drink with many lords and ladies, including one Meredyth Brax, whom he would spend the night with in some lord's chambers.

In the tournament, he would do well for himself, though never winning anything. He would place in the axe throwing contest, barely losing to the Knight of the Breakwater, the disguised Lady Milanna Sunderland and make it to the third round of the archery contest. He would lose in the melee, and after gaining Lady Sunderland's favor for the joust, would end up losing in the second round. There he would lose his friend and sworn sword Ser Brus Wayn to the lance of Lord Gwayne Baratheon. In a rage, Aegon drew his sword and challenged the man, who had fallen to the ground in shock. The Lord of Storm's End was only saved from the fury of the Prince by the sword of Ser Leyton Hightower who held Aegon long enough that while he was disarmed, Prince Rhaegar Targaryen and Ser Alester Steelsong were able to intervene.

After the joust, he held vigil in the Sept of Harrenhal over the body of his friend and would then keep his appointment with Lady Milanna, whom he had promised to spar with the morning after. Despite his tiredness, he managed to beat her in hand to hand combat and assisted her back to her tent. The two would eventually end up sleeping together as they soaked in a hot bath to sooth their bruises from the fight. Later that evening, after finding her on the dance floor, Aegon made one of the most unprecedented decisions in his life. He asked her to marry him. She agreed and the two stole away to the Sept of Harrenhal and were wed in secret, with only Aegon's sworn swords and Meleyx as witnesses.

## The Mummer's War

Aegon sat out the war of his brother's starting. With little communication between the brothers, there was nothing Aegon could do for Maekar. Word would reach him of his brother Jacaerys' death and soon the Sisters were called by Lord Alaric Arryn to war. It was soon obvious that this was nothing about retribution but a suicide charge against overwhelming odds. Arriving at Saltpans, Aegon and Milanna, along with Lord Waynwood quickly abandoned the siege in the face of overwhelming odds. They were spared fiery deaths and instead escaped the war with no retribution from the Crown or the Vale

## After the War

Aegon and Milanna would go on to have five children, despite her insistence that there would be no more after the first. The two would rule the Sisters and Aegon would aid his wife in the expansion of the Eastern Seas Alliance. He was instrumental in getting House Velaryon into the alliance as his sister Baela was married into the family. Their addition to the alliance was a huge boon for the legitimacy of the group, as they were one of the largest navies on the eastern seaboard of Westeros. Aegon, now married and having children, would settle in to being a lord and a father. His old lifestyle was nearly all but forgotten. Though he would still go and drink and carouse, the thought of his wife finding him with a whore was enough to ensure that he would never do that again. Not that he didn't want a whore after finding Milanna.
