## Biography

### Background

From an early age, Daekar displayed exceptional promise. He possessed the valyrian silver hair, the violet eyes, and the spirit of a dragon coursing through his veins. His father, however, had seen great potential in his eldest son, Bael. When Daekar was young, his father, fueled by his ambition and a burning desire to reestablish the Blackfyre name, made a fateful decision. He abandoned his family, taking Daekar's elder brother, Bael, with him, to live in solitude. Daekar, left behind in a hurry, was devastated. His father's departure not only left an indelible wound on his tender heart but also fueled a sense of abandonment that scarred him throughout his life.

### Early Life

In the midst of sorrow, Daekar found solace and determination. Traveling to find his brother many years later, Daekar only ever made it so far as Braavos before he reluctantly gave up the search. However, in Braavos is where he had learned the art of waterdancing and was somewhat known for his craft as a swordsman, though not as expertly skilled as some.

When Daekar had heard news of a Blackfyre rebuilding Summerhall, he immediately followed in pursuit to be reunited. He left Braavos and left behind his small, almost obscure legacy in Essos and traveled in a boat. He had his own fair share of adventures, however, when a storm howled and bewildered and knocked the ship he was on off-course and sinking, he himself unconcious. When he had awoke, he was left behind in a desert with seemingly no end. Having to brave the Dothraki and avoid them, he had fled until he was met with the city of Meereen, where he raced back to the docks and snuck aboard a ship to Westeros.

### **Bael and Aerella's Wedding**

When Bael Blackfyre was having a wedding betrothing him to his cousin, Aerella, Daekar had caught wind and rushed to Summerhall to reunite with his brother. However, he had not want to do it so soon, let alone on the day of his betrothal. Instead, Daekar snuck into the barracks and put on a deceased soldier's armor, determined to guard his long-lost brother on his wedding day.

Later, during the festivities, Bael had noticed the disguised Daekar and felt an unknown intuition guiding him. Before he could investigate further, the king, Aasmir Targaryen, revealed a secret plot and made the Northmen at the party scatter. Daekar guarded a drunk Bael and locked him within the libraries of Summerhall with his betrothed, Aerella.

During the night, when all was over, Bael had forced himself to go to the barracks and investigate the strange guard. He looks upon the individual sharpening his half-baked Valyrian sword. Daekar revealed himself to Bael, where Bael clasped his brother's shoulder and they went in for a hug.

### **The Manticore's First Strike**

Daekar had heard news that Dragonstone was under attack by the Manticore and swiftly told the *Free Company of Essos*. With that they set sail for Dragonstone and when they arrived the Manticore's forces had begun taking over. Them, along with other Westerosi Lords and Ladies as well as the king Aasmir Targaryen, fought back against the overwhelming forces, driving them back to their ship. However, admist the chaos, some of the Manticore's agents had located the Crownlands dragon egg and stolen it, fleeing on their ship. After chasing them down to the Narrow Sea, Daekar, along with his Company and the Westerosi, locked into naval warfare, fighting back bravely as both parties invaded eachother. During these attacks, a force of around 20 rogue Unsullied agents grouped and chose to attack Daekar. Armed with nothing but his sword and his shield, he parried and slaughtered through the horde by his self until the numbers dwindled to around 6. It was with low stamina and exasperated breath that Daekar made a mistake, left himself open, and had one of the Unsullied slice his ring finger clean off as he held his blade. As the blade fell and so did Daekar, he awaited his death until Theodosius saved him. Soon after, the king Aasmir and the princess of Valyria, Baela Targaryen fought back after Theodosius engaged and received multiple stab wounds. The fight did not cease until both Talons of the Manticore had been killed. Afterwards, a fight broke out about who should have the stolen egg. A vote was held in place and it decided that Aasmir should have it. This upset others, but did not upset Daekar and the other Targaryens.

### **Battle By Sea**

Daekar and the ship he was travelling upon had fell under naval attack by a ship armed with the Manticore's agents in the Stepping Stones. Daekar fought ruthlessly until he had his left eye slashed, still in his socket but plagued with a crimson red scelera and iris, blood filling it for his days to come. Regardless, he ignored the pain and trudged through marking the ship's boards with scarlet. It was during this that he earned the moniker, *Blooddragon*, remarking his upmost determination and ferocity whilst having blood dripping from his eye. The battle was won by Daekar and the ship continued onward to Westeros.
