Daemond Targaryen

## Heir to Harrenhal

Baelor Targaryen

Alysanne Targaryen

**Daemond Targaryen** is a man capable of being both stern and charming by turns. He is renowned for his strong sense of duty and an iron will to carry through the tasks set before him, and being able to turn people to his cause, but his disposition of being taciturn, strict and unforgiving towards strangers wins him few friends. However, beneath the calm and dignified demeanour, the dragon madness lurks within, waiting for an excuse to boil to the surface. He is renowned as a capable leader of men and a fine warrior himself, having proven himself both in the War of the Four Daughters and as the Commander of the Goldcloaks.

## Appearance

A tall, spare man, though still youthful enough, standing a hand above six foot tall, with broad shoulders and sinewy with muscle, the heir of Harrenhal is an imposing enough figure. Complimenting his warrior’s physique are the fine features of his Valyrian lineage - face sculptured and imperious, with a high brow, sharp cheekbones, and a straight nose. His eyes are cold and hard, the colour of deep indigo. Silver hair falls down to his shoulders.

## History

**391 AC:** Born in Harrenhal to Ser Vaemond Targaryen, the Heir of Harrenhal, and Lady Aelinor Targaryen

**397 AC:** Is sent as a page to Oldtown399-409 AC: Is squired to Lord Ormund Hightower.

**409 AC:** Is knighted on the eve of the War of the Four Daughters, returns to Harrenhal and assumes command of the Harrenhal forces heading off to war.409-410 AC: Fights alongside his father and the Riverlands forces. His sire is killed and the dragons are grounded, Daemond becomes the new Heir of Harrenhal.

**410-414 AC:** Daemond fights the war on the ground, commanding a portion of the Riverlands forces. His most distinguishing moment would come in 412 AC during the Orchard’s Battle, where he managed to rally a contingent of foot soldiers after an ambush, managing to hold the line under pressure from Volantene cavalry and sellswords until the arrival of the Reach cavalry. Afterwards, he would be fondly nicknamed the Anvil by both his troops and the impressed commander of the Reachman cavalry.

**414 AC:** After the end of the war, the heir of Harrenhal returns to Westeros, heading first to Harrenhal, but after a reported fierce quarrel with his lordly grandfather, he leaves his home and joins the City Watch of King’s Landing.

**414-417 AC:** Rises rapidly through the ranks of the City Watch thanks to both his diligent nature as well as his personal connections. At the end of 416 he is named as the new Lord Commander of the City Watch. Though nominally an outsider, the young lordling would be up to the challenge and soon win the respect of his fellow captains. Under his tenure, the City Watch would make active efforts to recruit and promote veterans from the war, and Daemond personally would be the most active at this, with most of his closer staff being men of high skill, but questionable birth. Takes his brother Aethon into his service as a sworn sword.

## Connections

* Lord Ormund Hightower - The man he squired for in his youth and whom he now serves under.

## Rumours

* Daemond is one of the few Targaryens, at least one of the few that matter, not to have tamed a dragon. When confronted about this in the past, the man has simply said that there is only one dragon worthy of him. According to some of the servants at the Dragonpit, the heir to Harrenhal has taken a peculiar interest in the feeding of the dragons, especially Viserion, and makes a point to be be present, and aid in the process, when possible.
* Rumours are abound about the reasons for the tension between the heir to Harrenhal, and his grandfather.
* It has been said that the death of his father, and the dragon Maedhros, during the War of the Four Daughters, and the humiliating defeat in the war thereafter, has hardened the heart of Daemond against the King and his advisors, though if these rumours are true, Daemond has shown little and less of his distaste during his service as Lord Commander of the City Watch.
* At six-and-twenty the Heir of Harrenhal still remains unmarried. Seemingly showing little interest in women, or anything other than his duty, the peculiarity of the man has given rise to some rumours.
