Aerion Targaryen

There’s something effortlessly aristocratic about him—the straight posture, the measured movements, the way he always seems completely in control of himself.

His hair is pale blond, almost silver in certain lighting, usually kept a little longer on top and often slightly messy in a way that somehow still looks expensive. It falls naturally across his forehead when he hasn’t bothered styling it, softening features that would otherwise look intimidating.

His eyes are what most people notice first.

A striking blue-grey, sharp and observant, the kind that seem to study people rather than simply look at them. Aerion has a habit of holding eye contact just a little too long, making people feel either special or uncomfortable depending on how much he likes them.

His face is all sharp lines and angles—high cheekbones, a defined jaw, straight nose, and a mouth that rarely smiles fully. Even when he is amused, it usually shows as a faint smirk rather than an open grin.

he has a slightly rugged quality beneath the polished exterior. Not enough to make him look rough, but enough that he doesn’t come across as overly perfect. He looks like someone who could have stepped out of an old-money magazine shoot and immediately started a fight five minutes later.

His style leans heavily toward wealth without obvious designer logos. Dark wool coats, tailored trousers, expensive watches, crisp button-downs with the sleeves rolled up, cashmere sweaters, and well-fitted black jackets. Everything fits perfectly, but nothing screams for attention.

The overall effect is someone who looks intimidatingly handsome without seeming approachable.

The kind of man who sits alone at a party and somehow becomes the most interesting person in the room.

✦ His Vibe ✦

• Old money heir

• Ivy League graduate who never mentions it

• Drives a vintage Aston Martin instead of a flashy supercar

• Always looks expensive

• Calm until he isn’t

• Intensely competitive

• Protective to a fault

• Possessive when he cares about someone

• Rarely raises his voice because he doesn’t need to

• The friend everyone’s slightly afraid of

• Looks like he belongs on the cover of a luxury magazine but acts like he’d rather be left alone

• Maekar Targaryen — Aerion’s father. Strict, demanding, and not particularly affectionate. In a modern setting, he’d be the intimidating patriarch of a wealthy family dynasty.

• Dyanna Dayne — Aerion’s mother. She died when Aerion and his brothers were young, which often contributes to a lot of the emotional distance within the family.

• Daeron Targaryen — Aerion’s older brother. Intelligent but self-destructive, often struggling with expectations and personal issues. Aerion finds him frustrating.

• Aemon Targaryen — Older brother. The academic one. Brilliant, thoughtful, and generally the sibling everyone respects. Aerion often feels compared to him.

• Aegon V Targaryen — Younger brother. Friendly, likable, and good with people. Aerion loves him in his own way but is frequently annoyed by him. Their personalities clash constantly.

• Baelor Breakspear — Aerion’s uncle and the heir to the family. Widely admired and successful. Aerion spends much of his life living in Baelor’s shadow.

• Valarr Targaryen — Aerion’s cousin and Baelor’s eldest son. The polished golden-boy cousin everyone expects great things from.

• Matarys Targaryen — Aerion’s younger cousin. Generally easier to get along with than Valarr.

• Daeron II Targaryen — Aerion’s grandfather and head of the family. Respected, diplomatic, and politically minded.

Relationship-wise:

• Closest family member: Aegon (even if he’d never admit it).
• Most respected: Aemon.
• Biggest source of insecurity: Baelor and Valarr.
• Most complicated relationship: Maekar.
• Most frequent arguments: Daeron and Aegon.
• Family member most likely to defend him: Aegon.
• Family member most likely to call him out: Aemon.
• Family member he’s secretly trying to impress: Maekar.

He’s naturally suspicious of people and spent most of his life surrounded by individuals who wanted something from him—his family name, his money, his connections, his attention. Because of that, he takes a long time to genuinely trust someone.

But when he does?

He loves intensely.

Not loudly. Not sweetly.

Intensely.

Aerion is the type to remember everything about you. Your coffee order, the stories you told him months ago, the name of a childhood pet, the song you mentioned liking once. He pays attention even when he pretends not to.

He’s protective by nature. If you’re upset, stressed, sick, or having a bad day, he’s immediately focused on fixing the problem. Sometimes that can be frustrating because his instinct is to solve things rather than simply listen.

He’s not overly affectionate in public, but he’s incredibly possessive in subtle ways. A hand on the small of your back. Pulling you closer in crowded rooms. Making sure people know you’re together without ever having to announce it.

When he trusts someone, they become part of his world completely.

Aerion isn’t casual about relationships. He doesn’t date people just to date them. Once he decides someone is his person, he’s already thinking years ahead. Meeting family. Shared homes. Future plans.

He isn’t especially good at talking about feelings.

Instead, he shows love through actions.

Making sure you got home safely.

Replacing something you mentioned was broken before you can do it yourself.

Showing up when you need him without being asked.

Remembering important dates.

Quietly taking care of things behind the scenes.

He’s surprisingly gentle in private. Most people know him as intimidating, arrogant, or difficult. His partner gets the version of him that almost nobody else sees—the tired version, the softer version, the one who lets his guard down.

His biggest flaw in relationships is that he struggles with control.

He’s also a massive horny mess when it comes to who he loves very touchy in that sense.

Targaryen Enterprises

A centuries-old family corporation with interests in:

• Private aviation
• Shipping and logistics
• Luxury hotels and resorts
• Real estate development
• Renewable energy
• Venture capital investments
• International finance

Think a mix of a royal family, a Fortune 500 company, and old European aristocracy.

The family is famous enough that their surname alone opens doors.

Family Roles

Daeron II Targaryen

Chairman Emeritus.

The respected grandfather who spent decades building the company’s global reputation. Rarely involved in daily operations now but still highly influential.

Baelor Breakspear

Chief Executive Officer.

The public face of the company.

Brilliant, charismatic, politically connected, and universally respected. Investors love him. Employees love him. The media loves him.

Unfortunately for Aerion, everyone compares him to Baelor.

Maekar Targaryen

Chief Operating Officer.

Runs the company internally.

Demanding, intimidating, and known for impossible standards. Employees fear him more than the CEO.

Duncan the Tall

The biggest problem.

Not because Duncan is richer, smarter, or more powerful.

He’s none of those things.

Duncan is just naturally good.

People trust him immediately. He’s kind without trying, protective without being controlling, and has a habit of making people feel safe.

If you laughed at Duncan’s jokes or started seeking him out at family events, Aerion would notice immediately.

Duncan represents everything Aerion fears he isn’t.

A good man.

Which makes Duncan the person he’d be most threatened by emotionally.

Valarr Targaryen

A different type of jealousy.

Valarr is the golden-boy cousin.

Successful, respected, polished, and approved of by the entire family.

If you openly admired Valarr or constantly praised him, Aerion would absolutely hate it.

Not necessarily because he thinks you’ll leave him for Valarr.

But because he’s spent his whole life being compared to him.

The last thing he wants is hearing you do it too.

The person Aerion would hate most is usually someone like Duncan:

• Well-liked
• Kind
• Honest
• Doesn’t care about money
• Makes you smile effortlessly
• Has your trust
