Daemon Velaryon was the Lord of the Tides and the head of House Velaryon during the reign of King Maegor I Targaryen.[1] Lord Daemon was son to Aethan Velaryon and brother to the Dowager Queen Alyssa Velaryon, wife of Aenys I Targaryen and whose children Maegor the Cruel fought against. He had several sons and daughters.[2]
History
Daemon was the admiral of the royal fleet for King Maegor I Targaryen. He also advised King Maegor I to wed Princess Rhaena Targaryen.[3] While originally on Maegor's side, he turned against the king in 48 AC and many of the great houses followed his example. He was one of the first to do so.[1][2]
When Jaehaerys I Targaryen ascended to the Iron Throne, Daemon was named lord admiral and master of ships once again.[4] After Rogar Baratheon was dismissed as Hand, Lord Daemon was raised by Queen Regent Alyssa Velaryon to Hand of the King. In 50 AC Manfryd Redwyne replaced Daemon as master of ships.[5]
