Viserys Targaryen (son of Valerion)

**Viserys Targaryen** is the third son of Prince Valerion Targaryen and Lynesse Royce. He was named after the then reigning king and seemed to have inherited his streak for sleeping with many women. He was sent to the Vale with his younger brother Jasper to strengthen relations between their line and the Arryns.

## Appearance and Character

Viserys is the best looking of his brothers, a comely young man with silvery blonde hair and violet eyes with a mischievous gleam in his eyes. He prefers to wear is plated armor, less for protection and more for it makes him appear more impressive, similar to his opinion on the red cap he wears. He carries an arming sword and shield bearing the dragon of Targaryen.

Viserys is the kind of person who enjoys having a good time and not one for serious matters. He jokes and laughs with others easily and is known for being a charming young man with the love of many commoners, appearing the perfect Targaryen. He has another side though, one known mostly to his family, friends, and those he targeted, the side of a graceless womanizer. In his teenage years, he was known to flirt and date pretty much any female of any note in Kings Landing, including his own sister for a brief period. Since reaching adulthood he has stepped up his game, sleeping with several women of low and high birth alike. His closest male friend being Lord Rodrik Arryn, a man he had looked up to since childhood and supports the man in nearly all his own clandestine endeavors.

Viserys would also show a sadistic pleasure in humiliating the families of those that displeased him. One of his favorite methods being at a dinner challenging a member of the family to a friendly sparring match, having spiked their drink with an alcohol enhancer that made his opponent sluggish and foolish, though neither would ever get hurt. His most infamous yet covered up is sleeping with a member of the displeasing lord's family.

## History

### Birth and Childhood

Viserys is the third son of Prince Valerion Targaryen and Lady Lynesse Royce. Following his older brothers Aemon and Denys, at birth, he was the best looking of their children, rivaled only by his sister who would follow him less than two years later. Viserys was named after his distant cousin, the then-current king Viserys I, he spent the first three years of his life in the Red Keep where his birth was followed by his sister Daena and younger brother Jasper.

At four the Cobblist revolt came to Kings Landing and his father took part in the battle in the streets. Following the battle, his father was named the new Master-at-Arms of the Red Keep. When the Cobblists were broken and the realm was considered safe again he would take his first trip to the Vale with his family, to visit his father's old friend Jasper Arryn.

Over the next ten years Viserys spent most of his time at the Red Keep, Runestone, and the Eyrie, during that time he started to hate his older brother Denys and became close with the young heir to House Arryn, Rodrik Arryn. It was also during these years that Viserys started his constant flirting, something that compared him to the king though he had the prospects to be far worse then his namesake had ever been. Like his oldest brother, Viserys would be squired by their father training alongside the Gold Cloaks and occasionally Prince Ayrmidon. While Viserys and Aemon were indifferent to each other and he and Denys hatted each other Viserys would have better relations with his two younger siblings.

### Later Teenage Years

In 125 AC at the age of fourteen unrest broke out in the Vale and during the brief conflict Sir Jasper Arryn, longtime friend of Valerion and namesake of Viserys' younger brother was killed during the fighting. His father was grief-stricken and fell into an anger fill stuper. At fifteen he kissed his sister, his confidence boosted by the marriage of Baelor and Rhaenys and their daughter, and had a brief time flirting and kissing his sister in the corridors of the castle. He took her to a brothel where he planned to took her maidenhood but stop at the last minute because he was afraid of getting caught and being force to marry her.

Nothing came of the romance between them and soon Viserys was hitting on many of the young women in the Red Keep and the Crownlands, some more successful than others. On the training field, he should not have the amount of effort he did with women though his fighting skills were comparable to his father when he was a teenager. At eighteen his father knighted him on his nameday, and that night he slept with a maid in the Red Keep and soon several more servants in the Red Keep. In part of fear for what his son might do Valerion sent him to the Vale to serve Rodrik Arryn as a household knight, sent with him was his younger brother Jasper who had been serving as Valerion's squire and assigned to Viserys.

### Time in The Vale

Once in the Vale Viserys continued his womanizing ways and only becoming worse and sleeping with someone different almost any night. He remained a loyal follower to Rodrik and made a vow to always publically support him. Despite his ways, he still promised to complete the mission his father gave him, even if it is in his own way. Surprisingly despite his womanizing ways he has not revealed any known bastards, though it is quite possible that he has one or two and has so far kept them a secret, as rumors say about him at least.
