Maekar Velaryon is the heir to **Lordship of the Tides**. He is the firstborn son and second child of Lord Vaemond Velaryon and Lady Myrcella Rowan. Maekar is married to Lady Tyana Velaryon, who he was betrothed to for nearly all of his life.

## Appearance and Character

Though the eldest son of Vaemond Velaryon, Maekar is in the runt of Vaemond's twelve children. He stands at roughly 5'7, which leaves him shorter than even his wife Tyana Velaryon but also countless others, though he makes up for it by having a rather well muscular body. Maekar has the colorings of the ever beautiful Valyrian, though in his case its far more as even amongst them he's scores above them in beauty. He has rather lively purple eyes, pale skin and silver hair, he looks much like his father and grandfather before him.

Though smaller than most of his kin, Maekar is an incredibly confidant young man, he's inherited his father's smuggness and charm and mother's drive to be perfect, forging a charming, beautiful and rather arrogant young man who coupled with the wealth of his family sees himself above the general masses. Couple that with his ambitious nature, Maekar seeks to futher the standing of his house, alongside his wife Tyana, he hopes to use her rather cunning ways to push the Velaryons into further greatness. As he views the Seahorses as creatures long neglected and used by their Dragon cousins, and that he seeks correct.

## History

Born to Vaemond Velaryon and Myrcella Rowan, Maekar was born into a loving family, between a mighty admiral and a kind gentle flower whom he'd fallen in love with. Since his birth he was expected to grew and become just like his father, even to the point that his grandfather Malentine often remarked how the young boys rather troublesome nature reminded him of Vaemond and his foolish antics. By the time he'd become nine, his 'aunt' Daella Velaryon would go onto abdicate in favor of his father, of whom within that same year left on 'Crown Business' in Essos. During that time he'd grow on, without his father around he'd go on to grow closer to his future wife, Tyana who'd been raised on Driftmark in preparation for their future union. Though he'd spend much more time learning from maesters and sailors about the mighty seas, of whom he thought his father ruled upon.

The stories he'd hear about Vaemond only continued to instill that thought in his mind and even from a young age, made him wonder just why his father wasn't rewarded more. Tales told by his mother made him want to be just like Vaemond when he grew up, to be a mighty admiral and warrior who even the Ironborn couldn't scare. And as he grew, Maekars education became more tailored for just that. As years went on and his father kept away, it only made him want to learn more about just what he'd gone to do. And eventually, his beloved mother would tell him.

His father had gone to attack the north for the crown, once more doing the Targaryens dirty work. He was barely twelve, and yet he thought his father deserved more than just being a Kings attack dog. The kindness of his mother and her sweet words calmed some of his more louder desires to speak against his father's cousin. Though once his father returned home the next year, in defeat, at least until he'd been informed that the north sought to rejoin the Iron Throne. Maekar would go on to ask his father why he didn't demand more. All Vaemond could say was that the Velaryons had everything they'd ever need, he had wealth beyond imagine, a beautiful wife, countless children and his desire to sail upon the seas were always fulfilled.

Those words lingered in Maekars mind, his ambitious nature simply couldn't comprehend it and as he grew from a teen into a man, it stayed that way. His father might not have wanted more, but Maekar did, and so did the woman who'd go on to become his wife. The two might not have shared love in the conventinal sense, but their goals aligned and their union was almost perfect in Maekars eyes. He'd proudly married her in 129 AC, and would go on to try and create the next generation of Valyrians all the while they sought to push their own wants upon the world.
