Character Personal History:
Trajan Blackfyre was born in 368, the eldest son of Lord Damon Blackfyre and heir to Dragonstone. Under the tutelage of his famed general of a father, the young man proved a quick learner of the sword, lance, and battle. But the young heir desired more. He hungered for true power, the kind that made skill with a blade and command of an army pale in comparison.
On his 15th nameday, Trajan set out on a journey to the east to achieve his goal. His expedition took him the ruins of Old Valyria and as far east as the Shadow Lands of Asshai. Under the dark and solemn Asshai'i he learned talents no mortal man should know; studying the black magics under accomplished spellsingers, aeromancers, warlocks, and shadowbinders.
When he returned to Dragonstone five years later, Trajan was a changed man. Though he kept up with the duties his father expected from him as heir, he began practicing his new gifts in the bleak dungeons underneath the fortress. During the war of the faiths, he harbored contempt for the Seven, seeing their followers lack of arcane power as proof of the religion's weakness. In the chaos of the conflict, he busied himself developing a masterful spy network and honing his dark powers.
Character Physical Description:
Trajan stands tall and lean, a handsome man with the striking silver hair and violet eyes of those with Targaryen blood.
Character Reputation: Trajan Blackfyre is known as an accomplished swordsman, competent general, and promising jouster. Though on the surface he appears the perfect lordling, dark rumors follow the heir to Dragonstone. Rumors abound of sinister arcane rituals being performed in the dungeons of Dragonstone, those spreading them usually vanishing in the night. His network of spies supposedly is only outdone by the king's own Master of Whispers, the Black Dragon's shadow spreading far and wide.
