House Targaryen

Heraldry of House Targaryen

Members of the House

Royal Line

• Maester Aemon: Already sworn as a maester when his father died, Aemon turned down the throne in favor of his younger brother Aegon V. Rather than possibly become embroiled in plots by those who might wish to put him on the throne, Aemon took the black, and serves on the Wall to this day. (61 years)
• Rhae: Having been a daughter of a king, the sister to one and now the aunt to another, most politically aware folk in King's Landing see the reclusive Rhae Targaryen as an important advisor. For her part, she prefers the seclusion of the Maidenvault, along with her sister Daella, visited only by family and usually then only by invitation. To the best of anyone's knowledge, Rhae has never taken a consort of any kind. (57 years)
• Daella: Far more outgoing than Rhae, Daella shares in a bit of her sister's mystique. She is far more socially active than Rhae, as well, often seen in court and at the various social affairs in King's Landing. She is a great fan of tourneys, having been made the Queen of Love and Beauty at one when she was young. Invitations to tea in the Maidenvault usually come from Daella. (54 years)
• King Jaeherys II Targaryen: King of Westeros Newly coronated, King Jaeherys is a solemn, thin man with long pale hair and eyes like sparkling amethysts. His thinness and complexion makes him look sickly, and he does tend to eschew physical activity, preferring his books. It is known that he carries on an ongoing correspondence with his uncle on the Wall. (36 years)
• Queen Laela Velyaron: Queen of Westeros. Queen Laela is an exceedingly devout woman, and spends a great deal of her time in seculsion, praying, at the sept or doing charitable works. Castle rumor says that she objected to the wedding of her children to one another insisted upon by her husband, and that the two rarely speak anymore - a tragedy, considering that they married for love and were once inseparable. (33 years)
  • Aerys II: Married to his sister Rhaella a year or so ago by their father's insistence, Aerys is a bit of a wild prince, aware of his power as a Crown Prince of the Realm, and only too happy to exercise them. He is quite the carouser, as well, and frequents the richest inns and brothels with his small coterie of friends. (16 years)
  • Rhaella: Rhaella recently gave birth to her and Aerys' first child, Rhaegar. News of her beloved grandfather's death at Summerhall drove her to an earlier birth than the maester anticipated, but Grand Maester Pycelle's skill ensured both mother and child were alright, and quickly recovering. Rhaella doesn't seem to object to Aerys' carousing - indeed, she often facilitiates it. Those who wonder how she became so canny frequently point to the upswing in her taking tea at the Maidenvault since her marriage to Aerys. (15 years)
    • Rhaegar: The newborn Rhaegar is still but a babe in arms. Rhaella has refused to use a wetnurse, though she does have a septa to hand to assist her anytime she may need it. (0 years)
• Ser Alberys: Commander of the Gold Cloaks. The third son of Aegon V doesn't have much use for a life of royal nonsense. Barely looking the part of a Targaryen, Alberys has blonde hair and blue eyes, and a thicker build than most Targaryens. He was given command of the Gold Cloaks after his return from the War of the Ninepenny Kings. (32 years)
• Rhaelle: The youngest child of Aegon V, Rhaelle was married into House Baratheon at the tender age of fifteen. Though her husband died a few years after she gave birth to their first son, Steffon, she remained at Storm's End to raise him and govern. Rhaelle has been spending more and more time with her fifteen year old son. Rumor has she's searching for a bride for the serious young man. (31 years)

Other Targaryens

• Ghella, the Sad Aunt: The daughter of pox-ridden Daeron III, called "the Drunkard", Ghella has been feeble-minded since childhood. She is cared for by a pair of kindly septas who read to her and take her for walks in the gardens and Godswood of the Red Keep. (49 years)
• Rhomys & Rhayne: Masters of Whisperers. Rhomys and Rhayne, twin sons of Rhaegal, are a subject of some scandal: they are lovers, both men, and have spent their lives refusing marriages by their families. They are inseperable; indeed, they are hard to tell apart, preferring simple black robes, their only affectations being the garnets they wear at fingers and ears. Almost no one addresses their scandalous behavior, however, because the brothers have spent their years together gathering a spy network that is second to none. Rumors say they did so to curtail any whispers about them originally, but now they serve their family as Masters of Whispers at the Small Council. (56 years)
