Baelon I Targaryen

King Baelon I Targaryen, known to history as Baelon the Great, was the sixth Targaryen king to sit the Iron Throne. He was the rider of the dragon Vhagar, the oldest and largest of the Targaryen dragons.

Early Life
Baelon was born in the year 105 AC, to King Viserys I Targaryen, and his wife, Queen Aemma Arryn. His mother died giving birth to him. During his infancy, Baelon was a frail, sickly child, and was attended constantly by maesters and septons, who feared for his life. However, he did eventually get through this phase of his life, becoming more robust in his childhood. Prince Baelon was a precocious child, gifted with charm and wit, and was beloved by his elder sister, Rhaenyra, to whom he was betrothed at the age of eight. As a prince, Baelon was of course trained at arms, and he proved to be fairly skilled, though not to any legendary degree.

A Bride and a Dragon
At the age of fourteen, Baelon married his sister, Rhaenyra. At the wedding, his uncle, Prince Daemon, teased him for not having a dragon like his sister, and Prince Baelon, having grown very serious with his role as Crown Prince, replied that there was no dragon available who was worthy of him. A year later, when the two Velaryon twins met their ends, the Prince used the opportunity whilst on Driftmark to claim the late Lady Laena's dragon, Vhagar.

Fatherhood
Prince Baelon's first child, Aerion, was born a few short months after he claimed Vhagar. After his birth, Aerion was betrothed by his parents to his cousin, Baela Targaryen, the daughter of Baelon's uncle Daemon.

Physical Appearance
During his youth, Baelon was possessed of classical Valyrian good looks, possessed of deep purple eyes and pale blonde hair. He was tall and well built, and preferred to wear a short beard.

As he grew older, King Baelon's pale blonde hair eventually turned white, and whilst he did become leaner, he retained a proud, straight posture up until his dying day.

Personality
King Baelon was described as being remarkably similar to his great-grandsire, Jahaerys the Conciliator, in disposition. He was clever and studious, a dutiful young prince, but also possessed of immense charisma, able to charm and threaten on a whim.
