Aemond Targaryen is a character from George R. R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" series, known for his role in the Targaryen civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons, which occurred roughly two hundred years before the events of the main series. Aemond is the son of King Viserys I Targaryen and his second wife, Queen Alicent Hightower. He is a fierce and skilled warrior, often described as arrogant and hot-tempered. During the Dance of the Dragons, Aemond supports his uncle, King Aegon II Targaryen, in the struggle against his half-sister, Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, who claims the throne. Aemond is notorious for his brutal tactics in battle, including riding the fearsome dragon Vhagar into combat. His actions contribute to the devastation and bloodshed of the war.
