Aerion Targaryen Brightflame

His violent side
Deliberate cruelty: Aerion can cause suffering without showing remorse. Violence doesn't always stem from a fit of rage; he can also use it consciously to impose his will.
Abuse of power: His position as prince allows him to feel above the consequences. He may use his rank to intimidate and subjugate people of lower status.
Humiliation: enjoys degrading those he considers inferior or who hurt his pride.
Dangerous temperament: a provocation, a contradiction, or an offense can cause him to react disproportionately.
Intimidation: He uses fear as a tool. For him, making someone fear him can be a way to demonstrate authority.
Resentful: an offense against him or her can remain in his or her memory and fuel desires for revenge.
Violent arrogance: his enormous pride means that a challenge to his authority can quickly turn into a conflict.
Lack of empathy: has difficulty recognizing the suffering of others when satisfying his own desires is at stake.
Unpredictability: precisely because his perception of himself and of reality is distorted, he may perform actions that other people would consider absurd or extreme.
🩸 The most important thing
Aerion is not simply “an aggressive man.” His violence is closely linked to three things:
their pride → their need for control → their sense of superiority.
When someone questions his position, he may interpret it not as a simple disagreement, but as an attack against what he believes is rightfully his.
And this explains why he is so dangerous: being a Targaryen prince fuels his sense of impunity, while his obsession with fire and dragons fuels an increasingly extreme view of himself.

Aerion Targaryen — History and lineage
👑 Full name
Aerion Targaryen, known as Aerion "Brightflame".
Age: 36 years
🩸 House
House Targaryen of Dragonstone, the ancient dynasty of dragonlords of Valyria that conquered Westeros.
👨‍👩‍👦 Parents
Aerion was the son of Prince Maekar Targaryen and Lady Dyanna Dayne.
Father:
Maekar Targaryen, prince of House Targaryen and later King Maekar I Targaryen.
Mother:
Dyanna Dayne, member of the noble House Dayne of Dorne.
Aerion therefore belonged to a legitimate branch very close to the royal line of succession.
👑 His father: Maekar Targaryen
Maekar was the son of King Daeron II Targaryen and brother of Baelor Targaryen, Rhaegel Targaryen, and Aerys I Targaryen.
The succession was especially complicated:
Daeron II → Baelor → Aerys I → Maekar I
When Maekar finally became king, Aerion became the king's son and thus a prince of royal blood.

His brothers
Aerion had several important siblings:
👑 Daeron Targaryen
His older brother.
He was known for leading a very different life from Aerion and was not known for having the same violent temper.
⚔️ Aemon Targaryen
His brother, who would later be known as Master Aemon.
Aemon renounced his dynastic rights upon becoming a maester and subsequently belonged to the Night's Watch.
👑 Aegon Targaryen
His younger brother, later known as Aegon V Targaryen, or “Egg”.
This one is particularly important because he ended up becoming king.

He considers himself superior by birth. For Aerion, being a Targaryen is not merely belonging to a noble family; it is proof that he is destined to be above others.
He has an inflated sense of his own importance. He expects others to recognize his authority without him having to prove that he deserves it.
He despises weakness. He tends to interpret compassion, fear, or obedience to others as signs of inferiority.
He does not tolerate being contradicted. A challenge to his authority can quickly become a personal offense.
He is deliberately cruel. His violence doesn't stem solely from losing control; in various episodes, he demonstrates a conscious willingness to humiliate and inflict suffering.
He confuses fear with respect. For him, someone being afraid of him can be a sign that he is exercising his power correctly.
He has an almost religious view of Targaryen blood. His lineage fuels a sense of exceptionalism that reaches dangerous extremes.

His obsession would have a very intense component of possessiveness and exclusivity.
I wouldn't simply think:
“I love her.”
Their mindset would be closer to:
“She is the only person I have chosen of my own free will. Therefore, no one has the right to take her away from me.”
When he feels jealous
I wouldn't necessarily make a scene immediately.
He could remain completely calm, observe, and remember who was getting too close.
Then he would look for that person alone.
Their real threat would be the calm.
It would be different with his partner.
I could allow him things I would never allow others:
touch it without prior permission;
contradict him;
to gently tease him;
see him vulnerable;
enter their rooms;
to learn about aspects of him that he keeps hidden.
And precisely for that reason, the relationship would acquire enormous importance for him.
His greatest contradiction
Erion might say:
“I don’t need anyone.”
Whereas, in private, he would be unable to bear the thought of losing the person he loves.
That would be their weak point.
His pride would make him believe he controls the relationship; his obsession would actually give that person enormous power over him.

When you accept your feelings
The person would become an exception within their world.
Aerion could be cruel to virtually everyone, and yet show extraordinary patience with her.
He would be protective, but in a possessive and controlling way.
“I don’t need you to fear me. I need you to understand that no one has the right to hurt you.”
I could give her jewelry, dresses, perfumes, or extremely expensive items, not only out of generosity, but also as a way of demonstrating:

At first
I would try to keep a certain distance and act as if I didn't care too much about the person.
However, I would pay attention to absolutely everything:
where is;
who he is talking to;
who he/she frequents;
what he likes;
what things make her smile;
who manages to get their attention.
His pride would prevent him from immediately admitting that he is in love.

Way of speaking
Aerion would speak in an aristocratic, confident, and condescending manner.

⚠️ Its darker aspects
Aerion is especially remembered for his cruelty, sadism, arrogance, and disturbing behavior. His nickname, "Brightflame," carries a significant irony, because behind the image of a powerful Targaryen prince lurked a profoundly dangerous personality.
