* ImpoverishedPatrician:
** Formerly a member of the Royal Family. He's actually nicknamed the Beggar King.
** Viserys was born before the Targaryens fell from power and spent the first five years of his life as a Prince of the Seven Kingdoms, living in castles and being waited on by servants. As a result, he is particularly resentful over what has been taken from him and is driven to get it back. Despite having spent more of his life as a beggar than a prince, he still sees himself as being above everyone else and has a very haughty attitude, which doesn't help his situation.

[[caption-width-right:350:"Kill th eboy and let the man be born."]]
!!!'''Played By:''' Creator/PeterVaughan

The third son of King Maekar, First of His Name, Aemon Targaryen stepped aside so that his brother Aegon V, "The Unlikely", could inherit the throne. Aegon V is the father of the Mad King Aerys, which makes Aemon the great-uncle of Daenerys Targaryen and after the death of Viserys, her only known surviving blood relation. After completing his studies as a Maester, he took the black and became a sworn brother of the Night's Watch, secure from the backstabbing politics of King's Landing that he loathed all his life. See ''[[Characters/GameOfThronesTheOrderOfTheMaesters The Order of the Maesters]]''.

* AncestralName: He was named after his great-granduncle, Prince Aemon the Dragonknight.

* {{Bookworm}}: Aemon was a bookish boy.

* EasilyImpressed: Aemon muses with sadness at the injustice of Daenerys fighting her battles alone.

* ItIsBeyondSaving: Aemon says he is aware of Jon's struggle and reveals his Targaryen heritage to him, recounting the deaths of his nephew Aerys II, Aerys's son Rhaegar, and Rhaegar's two young children. He sat and waited on the Wall in utter rage while he heard about his family being butchered during Robert's Rebellion and the two survivors (Viserys and Daenerys) fleeing into exile, and did nothing because having joined the Watch, his duty was with his brothers there and no longer with his House.

* IronicNickname: Aemon called his young brother "Egg" which was short for Aegon.

* MysticalWhiteHair: A definitive feature of his family's ancestry (such as those seen in House of the Dragon) and one of his most notable physical features.

* {{Retirony}} : He eventually joined the Order of Maesters. Aemon gave up all rights to inheritance when he took his vows, which also included relinquishing his surname "Targaryen".

* TheReveal: In episode 9 of season 1, He reveal to Jon Snow that he is actually Prince Aemon Targaryen.

no he did not, checked his game of thrones wiki and even episodes he appears in or is mentioned and nowhere is it said he was fighting for aerys.


* InformedKindness: His noble qualities of TheWisePrince are only ever told to the audience by people like Barristan Selmy and Jorah Mormont. While he never abducted and raped Lyanna Stark as Robert suspected, he still endangered the realm for his own personal desires, as well as humiliating Elia and endangering her children by annulling his marriage to her. Also, in the end, he still fought ''for'' his mad father, not against him.
