Description

Aemon Targaryen stands several inches over average height, with broad shoulders and a frame roped with muscle. He's surprisingly light on his feet for it, with a sailor's rolling gait and a prince's natural presence. He shares the coloring common to his bloodline, eyes a dark violet, hair pale though in his case tinged a bit more gold than silver. He wears it long, well past his chin though commonly caught in a queue at the nape of his neck. His jawline is obscured by a beard, too short to be messy, too long to be in current fashion at court.

Background

When Aemon Targaryen was born he was of no particular consequence to a family packed to the gills with people of consequence. A third son to a second son, he wasn't even unique in his name, already held by his uncle, King Jaehaerys's first born son and heir. The younger Aemon was raised a prince but with no expectation of inheritance, much too young during the key periods of decision to've played any role and with two capable and popular brothers and one majestic lady cousin all ahead of him in line. Nothing has changed in the decades since, even with the deaths of his distinguished grandfather, father, and namesake uncle, except that his capable and popular brothers have sons and heirs of their own now as well.

He spent his days on Dragonstone and in King's Landing getting a desultory sort of education at the hands of his tutors and another at the whims of his wild older brother Daemon and his dragon Caraxes. It's whispered in the Red Keep that there was some sort of incident and that afterwards Aemon eschewed the traditional preoccupation of his house, ditching fire for water and dragons for ships. He acquired himself a place in the royal fleet and has remained in its service ever since, in various respects.

Now captain of a band of ships, he often provides escort and guard for royal travel and treasure, undertakes various missions for the crown, and does a great deal of exploration, trade, and travel on his own whims. Rumors are many and often outlandish - that he's stored masses of treasure on an isle somewhere, that he's sailed around the known world, that he rides a seamonster from the Smoking Sea instead of a dragon, that he's little more than a pirate himself or at best(?) a privateer. What everyone agrees is this: he is back in Westeros after an extended absence, his brother Viserys has yet again failed to name him Master of Waters, and he's come to Oldtown.

RP Hooks

  • The King's brother: Most people in Oldtown probably don't know Aemon by sight, but they'll likely know him by name and reputation, as the king's younger brother who became a sailor instead of a dragonrider. Of course, there are probably half a dozen Aemon Targaryens in the extended family, so they'd be forgiven for some confusion.
