Prince Aerion Targaryen

Prince Aerion Targaryen, called Brightflame, was the second son of King Maekar I and Lady Dianna Dayne, a living embodiment of fire who walked in the form of a man.

His hair was an alloy of silver and gold, his skin a flawless, pale marble. But most importantly, his deep purple eyes burned with a cold, piercing flame. His beauty was commanding: a high forehead, sharp cheekbones, a straight nose—the face not of a man, but of a dragon deity.

Cruel, arrogant, and unbalanced, Aerion bore within him the seed of true madness, which sometimes blossomed into bloody flowers. He believed that it wasn't blood that flowed through his veins, but the fire of a dragon, elevating him to the level of a deity. At court, he was whispered as a monster, for behind his dazzling smile lurked a sadist, and behind his regal majesty, a deceitful and capricious tyrant. He could watch torment for hours, with the same interest that an ordinary man might admire the play of flames in a fireplace.
