Spouse Unknown member of House Targaryen

Aethan Velaryon was a member of House Velaryon who was married to a member of House Targaryen, according to a semi-canon source.[1] His daughter, Alyssa, was married to Prince Aenys Targaryen in 22 AC. The marriage was a political match.[citation needed]

History

Aethan was aided by Prince Maegor Targaryen during a campaign against Sargoso Saan, a pirate-lord of the Stepstones. It is unknown when this occurred exactly.[2]

Note

The World of Ice and Fire names that "Daemon Velaryon" turned against Maegor as his reign was falling apart in 48 AC. The Sons of the Dragon, based on the same early draft notes, simply refers to "Lord Velaryon" turning against Maegor.

It is unclear if Aethan died in the middle of Maegor's reign (he is mentioned as still alive at the beginning of it) and was succeeded by "Daemon", or if this is an accidental re-use of the name "Daemon" after Aegon I's Master of Ships. When asked, Elio Garcia couldn't recall how the name was included or what was intended, but said he would send a note to Martin so it can be refined in Fire and Blood, Volume 1:

"Re: Daemon Velaryon turning against Maegor, it looks like the call was made to name him so, but in retrospect I suspect this was in fact supposed to be Aethan. That said, it feels like another thing to flag for George, as it's possible he indicated to Anne that Aethan was dead by this point and his successor was the one who turned.[3]
