House Blackfyre is one of if not the most recognizable and infamous of House Targaryen's cadet dynasties. Founded by the first and greatest of the so-called Blackfyre Pretenders, King Daemon Blackfyre, the Blackfyre's have been for years at odds with the false-Targaryens who sit upon the Iron Throne, descended from the unlegitimized bastard Daeron Waters, baseborn son of Aemon 'the Dragonknight' by King Aegon IV's sister-wife. The Blackfyre's first attempt to seize their birthright in 196 AC was nearly successful, and if not for the treachery and dishonorable actions of the Bloodraven, King Daemon would surely have won the throne upon the infamous Redgrass field. Since the first Blackfyre Rebellion, the rightful Kings on the Iron Throne have attempted to take Westeros four times, and four times have they failed. However, a new King now rides forth from the east to take what is rightfully his, one who by necessity has cast aside the all too merciful and trusting nature of his forebearers. Side by side with the great Aegor Bittersteel, long time ally and friend to the true kings on the Iron Throne, King Maelys I is ready to save the realm from those who attempt to tear it apart, from savages with shaky claims, barbaric separatists, and the mad King Aegon himself - an insane tyrant, cursed by Gods old and new.
