Prince Daemon Targaryen[1][c] is a prince of the Targaryen dynasty, and the younger brother of King Viserys I Targaryen. He is the uncle and royal consort of Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen. Daemon is a renowned warrior and a dragonrider, wielding the Valyrian steel sword Dark Sister and riding the dragon Caraxes into battle. Background Daemon is the grandson of King Jaehaerys I Targaryen and his sister wife Queen Alysanne, the son of Prince Baelon the Brave and Princess Alyssa, and the younger brother of King Viserys.[9] At some point, Daemon tried to reclaim his mother's dragon, Meleys, but she was instead claimed by Rhaenys Targaryen, Daemon's cousin, which angered him.[14] His father died of a burst belly, which caused a succession crisis that was resolved with the Great Council at Harrenhal, in which Daemon's older brother Viserys was chosen by the lords of Westeros as the new Prince of Dragonstone[4] When Viserys became king, Daemon became his presumptive heir to the Iron Throne.[1] Ser Otto Hightower, the Hand of the King, considers Daemon the greatest threat to the realm. He is the rider of the dragon Caraxes, an older dragon known as the Blood Wyrm. An experienced and skilled fighter, he wields Dark Sister, the Valyrian steel sword of his grandfather's great aunt Visenya Targaryen. Unlike his older brother, Daemon is - despite his great cunning - an unpredictable and impulsive rogue.[1] At the Great Council at Harrenhal, Viserys was chosen by the lords of Westeros as the successor to King Jaehaerys, whose health had begun to fail and who had lost both his sons. During the first nine years of his brother's reign, Daemon served on the Small Council, both as Master of Laws and later as Master of Coin. However, he was removed from those offices, both times at the insistence of Otto Hightower. The rivalry between Daemon and Otto continued, as the Hand saw the prince as a threat if he were to ever become king, possibly a second Maegor the Cruel. Daemon in turn saw Otto as a dishonorable leech who wanted to rise as high as he could get, since his status as a second son would not allow him to inherit anything of his own. Most of the council sided with Otto in this conflict, but Daemon was always defended by his brother.[1] At some point King Viserys arranged a marriage for his younger brother, wedding him to Rhea Royce, the Lady of Runestone. Neither party was happy with this match, with Daemon disparagingly referring to his wife as his "bronze bitch."[1] Daemon's personal coat of arms features the three-headed red dragon of House Targaryen, adorned with golden scales and within a border of golden fire. His helmet, forged from Valyrian steel, is adorned with the head and wings of a dragon.[15] "Dreams didn't make us kings. Dragons did" #foryou #global #fyp #targaryen #targaryens - @legendr1se
