The Citadel

Prince Aerion Targaryen

General Information

Called Brightflame in his youth but remembered as the Monstrous in the histories, Aerion was the son of Prince Maekar and grandson of King Daeron II. A skilled knight but more than a little mad, Prince Aerion was extremely volatile and violent, and even had the delusion that he was in truth a dragon in human form. He was sent away to Lys for some years by his father after having wrought havoc and brought about the first trial of seven in over a hundred years following an incident with a hedge knight at a tournament in Ashford.

Aerion the Monstrous died in a final act of madness, drinking a cup of wildfire while claiming that it would turn him to his true dragon form.
