Appearance and character

Ond is described as a wild and willful child who grew up to become a skilled and dangerous swordsman, but also a spoiled, capricious, irascible and unforgiving young man.[4] He lost his right eye in his youth, and wore a sapphire in the socket of his lost eye. Aemond wore ornate black armor, inlaid and riveted with gold.[5][6] Aemond was also known to sometimes wear an eye patch where he inserted the sapphire, apparently when he was in court, not wanting to frighten the ladies with his scars.

Historia pt2

Aemond accompanies his brother Aegon and Lucerys Velaryon to the Dragonpit while Jacaerys Velaryon is training to command Vermax. Aemond is the only boy without a dragon of his own. The three boys trick Aemond into believing they found him a dragon, only to present him with a pig they disguised as one, mockingly proclaiming it the "Pink Terror". Aemond descends into the tunnels of the pit, where he finds a large, adult dragon. However, when the dragon roars and breathes fire, a frightened Aemond is knocked down and flees. Aemond tells his mother of the incident while his sister Helaena listens. Alicent then berates Aegon, who calls Aemond a fool. Later, Aemond trains in weapons with Aegon, Jace, and Luke in the courtyard of the Red Keep under Ser Criston Cole.[4] He travels to Driftmark with his family to attend the funeral of Lady Laena Velaryon, wife of his uncle Daemon. He speaks with his older brother Aegon about his engagement to his sister Helaena.

That night, he sneaks out of the castle in search of Vhagar, who has been left riderless following Laena's death. He confronts the dragon and manages to bind himself to her, taking flight over the island. Upon returning to land, he is confronted by Laena's daughters Baela and Rhaena, and Lucerys and Jacaerys, who berate him for riding the dragon. Tempers flare and a fight breaks out, with Aemond calling the children "bastards" and threatening Jace with a rock; defending his brother, Luke takes Jace's knife and cuts Aemond's face. The Kingsguard burst in, and Lord Harrold Westerling notices that Aemond has lost an eye. The children are taken to the main hall, where a maester tends Aemond's wound and the adults discuss what has happened. An altercation ensues, but Aemond tells his mother not to grieve, that what she has lost is nothing compared to what she has gained. The next morning, King Viserys and the court return to King's Landing, with Aemond riding Vhagar back to the capital.[5] Six years later, Aemond trains alongside Criston Cole in the Red Keep's courtyard; after winning the duel, he addresses his nephews Jace and Luke, mockingly asking them if they have come to train as well. Aemond is later present when Vaemond Velaryon petitions the crown to name him heir to Driftmark. He appears amused throughout the proceedings, especially when Vaemond loudly declares his nephews' bastardy.

to, which ends with Daemon exchanging a challenging look with Aemond, causing the latter to back away. Following the king's death, the Green Council proclaims Aegon the rightful heir, disregarding his half-sister Rhaenyra's claim and the king's will. Aegon appears to have disappeared from the castle, so his grandfather Otto sends the Cargyll brothers Arryk and Erryk to find him. Alicent also wants her son on the throne, but disapproves of their father's aggressive approach; she believes that openly antagonizing Rhaenyra would be a foolish idea, so she secretly sends Aemond and Criston to find Aegon before the Cargyll brothers do. Aemond takes Criston to a brothel on the Silk Street where Aegon once took him to lose his virginity, hoping that he could take refuge there, but they are informed that he is not there. During the quest, Aemond claims that he should be king, because he worked hard and did his duty, to which Criston refers by saying that he too has had to work hard for what others receive freely. The two follow the Cargylls' trail and manage to intercept them; Criston prevents Arryk from leaving with Aegon, and the two fight while Aemond holds Aegon back. His older brother pleads with him to let him escape, saying that then Aemond would be the heir; Aemond hesitates but ultimately rejects his brother's proposal.

The next day at the Dragonpit, he watches Criston crown Aegon. The coronation is interrupted when Rhaenys Targaryen bursts from beneath the dungeon on her dragon Meleys. Aemond takes a defensive stance, but the dragon only roars at them, before she and Rhaenys fly off to warn Rhaenyra. Aemond flies to Storm's End to gain the favor of Lord Borros Baratheon, betrothed to one of his daughters. During negotiations, his nephew Lucerys arrives with a message from his mother, seeking to recall the oath of fealty Borros' father swore to King Viserys and Rhaenyra as his heir. However, the Lord of Storm's End is insulted by the letter, and asks Lucerys which of his daughters he will marry, as Aemond has already secured the support of the Baratheons by promising to marry one of them. Luke replies that he is already betrothed, so Borros tells him to go home in response. As he is about to leave, Aemond attempts to taunt him, and when the young man tells him that he will not fight him, Aemond removes his eyepatch to reveal that he has placed a sapphire in his empty eye socket. He demands that Luke gouge out one of his eyes as payment, and thrusts a dagger at him. When Luke refuses, Aemond charges to gouge out his eye himself. Lord Borros stops the fight, ordering his guards to escort Luke out of the castle. Luke takes flight on his dragon Arrax into the storm, and Aemond pursues on Vhagar's back. Laughing, Aemond follows Luke, but Luke loses control of his terrified dragon, which breathes dragonfire into Vhagar's face, enraging her. Aemond tries to control Vhagar, briefly losing sight of his nephew. However, Vhagar suddenly emerges from the clouds and bites Arrax to death, swallowing Lucerys as well. In shock, Aemond realizes that he has started a war.
