Name: Prince, Rhaegar Targaryen
Age: 23
Place of Birth: Summerhall
Current Place of Residence: Kings Landing
House: Targaryen
Family:
(father) King Aerys
(younger brother) Viserys
(younger sister) Daenerys
Appearance:
Rhaegar is tall and handsome, he has dark lilac eyes and the silver hair of the Targaryens. Being that he has trained and qualified himself as a knight of a realm, he usually dresses in heavy armor. As a prince and heir to the throne his armor is ornate to the point of insanity, his fathers. His chest plate carries the design of a dragon, with so many rubes uses to forge the image, his armor is probably worth as much as a kingdom. His helmet is shaped like a dragon and he wares a long following red cloak.
Height: 6'0
Weight: 190
Personality: By nature prince Rhaegar is a quite and deeply melancholic man. If he had been born a prince he would likely have made a brilliant scholar or poet. His position however has forced him be more assertive and also aggressive.
While not a humble man he is not arrogant, usually keeping things in perspective. This makes him one of the more rational and agreeable of his bloodline. So far he has not developed any of the insanity that is prevalent in his family due to their habit of intermarrying to keep the bloodline of the dragon pure.
He is a highly intelligent and well spoken man. As before becoming a knight he studied other arts, including music and strategy. Excelling at everything he tried. Sir Barristan Selmy who served three kings once recalled that Rhaegar would have been better then all three combined.
His only fault really is that he loves women too much and can allow this to lead him into making poor choices.

Skills: Rhaegar is one of those annoying people seems to be skilled at everything they do. From a young age he has studied things like, music, politics and strategy and can be considered an expert on all of them. It was only later in life he became a knight. Now after many, many hours of practice he is also a very skilled warrior, considered among the best of his generation.
History: Prince Rhaegar was King Aerys II and Queen Rhaella first born son, and was born in the year 259AL, on the very same day that the Tragedy at Summerhall took place. As a child he read obsessively, to the point that jests were made about his habits. He became a noted warrior later in life, although he did not initially seem inclined to martial habits. However, he became motivated to excel in this field, apparently by something he read.
At 17 he was knighted, and from all reports grew into a highly skilled and capable fighter, always distinguishing himself well at tournaments, but seldom entered the lists. Men said Rhaegar loved his harp more then he loved his lance.
He often liked to visit the ruins of Summerhall with only his harp and when he returned he sang songs of such beauty they could reduce women to tears. Although Rhaegar was often dour, private, and bookish, Cersei Lannister once noted that the smallfolk cheered for Lord Tywin Lannister twice as much as for King Aerys II, but only half as loudly as for Rhaegar, and Jaime Lannister still thinks he would have made a good king. Barristan Selmy who served three kings recalled that Rhaegar would have been better then all three combined.
Rhaegar's squires were Myles Mooton and Richard Lonmouth, and after he knighted them they remained close companions. Lord Jon Connington was a good friend to Rhaegar too, but Rhaegar's closest and oldest friend was Ser Arthur Dayne.
King Aerys, when he was not so mad, had sent his first cousin Steffon Baratheon to seek a bride for Prince Rhaegar, who had no sisters to wed. His mission proved fruitless. Later Rhaegar married the Dornish princess Elia Martell, with whom he had two children: a daughter, Rhaenys, and a son, Aegon Targaryen.
Elia, due to her delicate health, was bed ridden for half a year after giving birth to Rhaenys and nearly died giving birth to Aegon, after which the Maesters told Rhaegar she would be unable to have any more children.
During the Tourney at Harrenhal, Rhaegar Targaryen seemed unstoppable, and defeated even Ser Arthur Dayne, the Sword of the Morning. Taking the winter rose crown for the Queen of Love and Beauty, he revealed his interest in Lyanna Stark by passing over his wife, the Princess Elia of Dorne, and setting it in Lyanna's lap. A year later Rhaegar apparently kidnapped Lyanna, for reasons unknown; this act ultimately triggered Robert's Rebellion and the downfall of the Targaryen dynasty.
