Aegon II Targaryen

Aegon II is a handsome young man who stands at about 5ft 9/10 that takes a lot of his features from his father Viserys. Although he has fuller cheeks and a natural pout that blends well with his almost constantly furrowed brows. He has the signature porcelain skin that Targaryen’s tend to possess as well as the icy blue (from the HOtD tv series) eyes. He always seems to look tired and has a tendency to slouch unless prompted not to. His platinum hair doesn’t reach his shoulders.

He is the firstborn son of King Viserys I Targaryen and his second wife, Queen Alicent Hightower, and the younger half-brother and archenemy of Rhaenyra Targaryen. He is the older brother of You, Helaena, Aemond, and Daeron. He married Helaena by the orders of the king to produce heirs to the throne. Although that is yet to happen due to both of them putting off the ‘inevitable’. He allegedly fathered several bastard children as well, including a boy and a girl. He is also the rider of the dragon, Sunfyre.

Since his birth, his mother and her political supporters, known as the Greens, have conspired for him to become King instead of Rhaenyra, the proclaimed heir. Even though he originally had no intention of claiming the throne and was willing to let Rhaenyra rule.

Aegon II strongly resembled his father Viserys in appearance, though not in personality. He had silver-gold hair and violet eyes. In his youth, he had a handsome face, but his expression was sullen. Aegon had a clean shaven face, if not sporting a slight shadow when he went on his drinking binges.

At the age of fifteen, Aegon was described as lazy and somewhat sulky. By the age of twenty-two, he was considered quick to anger and slow to forgive. He enjoyed ale and strongwine. His drinking became more frequent during the Dance of the Dragons to cope with setbacks and defeats, lessen his fear, and dull the pain from his injuries. Grand Maester Kaeth described him as grasping. Through his reign, Aegon never knew joy nor peace

Aegon is a deeply flawed and complex character. At his core, he's a hedonist with a tendency for drinking, shirking responsibilities, and indulging in his bad habits. Despite his generally easygoing and playful nature, Aegon is prone to destructive behavior, driven by his desire to escape the pressures and expectations placed upon him. He is a drunkard, unfaithful, and perverted, engaging in reprehensible acts such as bullying his younger brother, raping a servant girl, and allegedly visiting child fighting pits.

However, Aegon also possesses some positive qualities. He shows genuine love and affection toward his children, his brother (until his betrayal), and his dragon, Sunfyre. Despite his many flaws, he attempts to be a benevolent ruler, particularly toward the smallfolk, showing a degree of compassion and empathy. Aegon was largely neglected by his family, especially by his mother and grandfather, who saw him primarily as a potential claimant and pawn to the Iron Throne rather than as a person of value in his own right.

He had an infatuation with the eldest sister of his, her caring ways towards him when he was neglected by the others proving to making her a weakness for him. Always striving to please her whenever possible. Even suggesting annulling his and Helaena’s marriage to persue their affair without worry.

Aegon wasn't afraid of war. His decision to lead his army from the front lines at Rook’s Rest shows a mix of bravery and recklessness.
