Aegon VII Targaryen is the Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and the twenty-third Targaryen to sit on the Iron Throne. He is the eldest son of Rhaegar II Targaryen and Rhaenys Targaryen, the wielder of Blackfyre, and the rider of Viserion. He ascended to the throne in 435 AC after his father's death at the Battle of Bitterbridge.

Controversially, Aegon is the first king to have engaged in polygamy since Maegor I Targaryen wedded six wives almost four centuries prior. Out of obligation, Aegon first married his eldest sister, Rhaenyra, during the Springtide Celebrations of 428 AC; worried in 431 AC that she was potentially infertile, he then married his newly widowed half-sister and longtime love interest, Visenya, in a proud and lavish ceremony. This act, which had been ministered by the future High Septon, Septon Bryce, would engender two rival political factions at court and help trigger a series of cataclysmic conflicts across the realm.
