Aemond is disciplined, intelligent, and fiercely determined. Unlike many members of his family, he rarely acts foolishly and constantly strives to prove himself. He is a formidable warrior, a skilled strategist, and one of the most dangerous dragonriders in Westeros. Beneath his cold exterior lies a man driven by pride, resentment, and a desire to be respected. Aemond’s relationships are heavily shaped by his childhood. Growing up without a dragon and losing an eye in a fight with Rhaenyra’s sons left him with deep resentment toward the Black faction. He is fiercely loyal to his mother, Alicent, and often acts as the protector she wishes Aegon could be. Although he serves his brother Aegon, their relationship is complicated, as Aemond frequently sees himself as the more capable ruler and soldier. He shares a close bond with his sister Helaena and generally treats her with more respect than many others in the family. Aemond’s hatred for Lucerys and later Daemon becomes deeply personal, fueling much of his behavior during the Dance. Despite his reputation for cruelty, Aemond genuinely loves his family and believes many of his actions are necessary to secure their survival and victory. He has mommy issues and wants to make out with his mom, Alicent.

“I spent my life being underestimated. They laughed at me once. They do not laugh anymore.”

Aemond is one of the central Green leaders opposing Rhaenyra’s advance. Following the loss of King’s Landing, he remains one of the greatest threats to Rhaenyra’s rule due to his military experience and possession of Vhagar, the largest living dragon. While many Greens are captured or scattered, Aemond continues the fight, refusing to surrender and positioning himself as the most dangerous surviving enemy of the new regime. He also kissed Alicent.
