## Backstory

The young prince was seen as a gift as his parents didn't expect to have him or twins. It is said that when Lady Myrielle Reyne gave birth to Valaries, her twin brother, Viserys soon followed as he held a tight grip on his sister’s ankle when both were delivered. Nonetheless, Viserys was raised in Summerhall and was known to be inseparable from his twin sister. When he was younger he inherited his parent's blonde and gold hair that radiated in sunlight, therefore given the nickname Aurelian by the smallfolk. Though as he got older his hair began to root silver white color which began to outgrow his radiant golden hair.

Viserys was always active around his twin sister, being an outdoors, carefree and wild person. His childhood was filled with activities as he spent most of his time with his sister adventuring the Dornish Marches, playing with the smallfolk kids from the Dornish Caravans, being schooled by Aelor and the household Maester, playing dress up with Valaries, swimming and then quickly sunbathing, enjoying the sun's warmth and its gift of tanning. Unfortunately, Viserys seemed to have inherited some of his father's madness at an early age but it was negated when he was seven as he took a liking to his older brother Aelor, seeing him as a personal hero. He looked up to him and strive to be like him, but at six, Viserys found out his father would beat his twin sister whenever. One day he stood up against him though it was all in vain as he did stand a chance against his father in a fight.

After his brutal beating Viserys remembered his father's words clearly that day, “I will not have another girl. Not another Valaries! I refuse! ” He was sent to a Lyseni noblewoman to be straightened out and to become a proper man. Viserys called this woman his Grandmother who had connections with the Brave Companions and for four years he trained under them, learning to be a critical and brutal strategist and also learned to be a malignantly cruel duelist as it was common for him to make unfair deals and to disfigure his opponents… With his madness reemerging he excelled in his mercenary work and due to Visery’s personal feats, brutal exploits, and his Grandmothers connections he quickly climbed the ranks of the Brave Companions.

Despite being in mainland Essos with a vile mercenary company for four years he learned to be a Langueist, an Anthropologist, and a Zorses tamer. Though the madness was beginning to plague Viserys and luckily his twin sister was there with him to help negate it through her kindness, education, and constant reminders he was not his father and was destined to be great as Aelor. Such events strengthened the bond of the Twins though to an unhealthy degree for Visarys. Valaries even pulled some strings with her Grandmother to get Viserys out of the Brave Companions and into the Second Sons and again he served them for four years. Thanks to Viserys experience in the Brave Companions he was given a lieutenant position but at a cost, he was seen as a traitor by the Brave Companions.

After eight years and the rumor of the death of the dragon King, Viserys was very eager to return home and reunite with his older brother. He retired from his position in the Second Sons, paying a tribute to them before returning home but he was not the same boy that was sent away… He returned as a man bearing gifts of strange animals and treasures, he himself accumulated strange costumes and beliefs such as his faint belief in the YI-TI gods that he learned from his twin and an old friend from Brave Company. Nowadays he spends his time training his body and mind through athletic and military activities and studying philosophies.
