The Mad King Aerys, who succeeded his father Jaehaerys, and served as the final Targaryen king, at least up until now. He died from illness after only three years on the throne, but not before receiving the prophecy that the fabled Prince Who Was Promised, a hero destined to save the realm from darkness, would be born of his bloodline. The sixteenth king of Westeros earned his nickname not because of his weak resolve, but because of the short length of his reign. Jaehaerys the Weak, another potential namesake for Jon Snow, if theories bear out. In the show, the Raven claimed that he’s been waiting for Bran for over a thousand years, which doesn’t fit the Bloodraven timeline just one of many differences between the books and the show. He served as Hand of the King and later as Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch, with a reputation for using sorcery in his causes. There, it’s strongly implied that he’s Brynden “ Bloodraven” Rivers, the legitimized bastard son of Aegon the Unworthy. The Three-Eyed Raven also hails from the Targaryen line, at least in the books.
