### Titles

Claimant King of the Iron Throne, Leader of the Dragon Syndicate, Entrepreneur

## Physical Information

### Build

Tall and broad, with long limbs and a lean frame

## Appearance and Character

At a glance, Aegon looks like the Conqueror himself come again. He’s tall, with broad shoulders and a fierce look in his trademark Valyrian eyes. Upon closer inspection however the veneer begins to fall apart. His eyes are just a shade too blue, his hair more silver than gold, his frame leaner than it is muscular. The claimant carries himself with a kingly demeanor, often adorned in black scale armor or black and red formal clothing.

Normally, Aegon is a cool headed individual with a knack for business. He can be charming, courteous, and suave when need be. But he also has a certain anger bubbling inside of him, one that comes out most when his lineage is questioned. To his close confidants and brother, he can be caring and vulnerable, but to enemies or those that have crossed him he can be a vicious enemy.

## History

It was 100 AC when Aegon's would-be parents arrived in King's Landing. Valarr had been a sailor, a sellsword, and a barkeep, taking odd jobs in Lys to make ends meet. Aelora had worked as a handmaiden to Lyseni merchants. The two were not happy with their lives in the lowest caste of Essosi society. They dreamed of a better future for themselves, and for the family that they planned to have, but they didn't think it possible in the Free Cities. So they took up passage on a merchant ship bound for the Sunset Kingdoms, a favor that had been owed to Aelora, and made their way to Westeros.

Things were not easy for the Lyseni immigrants starting out. Valarr quickly learned the suspicion Westerosi had for foreigners, as he failed to secure a stable line of work for moons on end. Aelora struggled to find employment as anything but a whore in a pleasure house. With no other clear viable options, the two turned to a surefire way of reaping rewards; crime. Over the course of twelve years, the two went from picking pockets and hiring mere goons to running their own criminal enterprise where their hands never got dirty. Valarr dealt with the jobs and loose ends and Aelora focused on the finances of the venture. Finally, when they felt themselves secure enough, they had the heir they had always spoken about. They named him Aegon, for the man who had once carved the Seven Kingdoms into one, hoping their son could do the same to the crime infested underbelly of King's Landing.

From birth, the heir to the Dragon Syndicate had been whispered lies and falsehoods, in the hopes of sprouting a deep ambition in the child. His parents told him of how he had been stripped of his rightful home, how he deserved to sit the iron throne rather than the pretender that did. They claimed to be descended of the Targaryen line, and so he grew thinking himself a dragon, despite being nothing of the sort.

As a boy, Aegon was afforded certain comforts that many of the other denizens of the city were denied. While he could not be taught lessons from a maester, his parents were sure to provide tutors and learned men for him to glean knowledge from. He learned strategies and formations that would help him command men, and his father taught him how to personally connect him to the men he lead. (Formations) While Valarr could have hired some sellsword to teach his son combat, he personally took up the task, thrusting a wooden sword and shield in the boys hand as soon as he was able to wield one. Copious hours were spent in the headquarters of the Dragon Syndicate, Aegon taking blow after blow from his fathers training sword. The boy had spirit however, the spirit of a fighter, and he always got back up after he fell. (Bellicose)

As Aegon grew, he was further introduced into the business his parents ran. They saw no use in hiding the truth from him in that regard, so they taught him everything there was to know regarding their empire. He saw the lands they comfortably controlled in the city, where they had skirmishes with other gangs over territory, and which entrepreneurial ventures were worthwhile for the syndicate. (Home Turf) He also furthered progressed as a warrior, his father finally deeming him capable in combat, and presenting Aegon with true, fire hardened steel. (Weapon Proficiency)

When Aegon turned 16 his life changed forever. Some of the lieutenants of the gang thought themselves better leaders than Valarr and Aelora, and while they were heirless there was a chance to grab power once they passed. But with Aegon shaping up to be a healthy and capable man, they saw their frame of opportunity slipping. A portion of the enterprise fractured, with an attempt on the leaders life their goal. With the surprise of the attack, Valarr had no time to prepare. Aegon's parents were slain, the men of their personal guard fighting to the last. Heartbroken, and with a mind set on vengeance, Aegon marched to the headquarters with his loyal supporters, cleaning the place out of the traitors. In the aftermath, many of Aegon's most trusted agents had been slain or disappeared, and he was forced to start from the ground up. A man named Abelar had helped him take back power, and so the man became his second in command, dealing with the financials and less important duties of the gang. After it all, Aegon proved to be the heir his parents hoped he would be, as he held the rest of the syndicate together through willpower and progression. He was finally a crime lord in his own right, and he was prepared to do anything to become the King of the underworld. (Ringleader)
