Viserys possesses the classical Valyrian features: he has pale skin, silver-blond hair, and pale lilac eyes. Viserys is considered to be a cruel, weak, frightened, impatient, vain, greedy, stupid and foolish man. He is violent and abusive with many, including his sister Daenerys, whom he blames for their mother's death. The fifteen years Viserys spend in exile were hard on him. He kept lusting after his father's throne, and became obsessed with winning back the Seven Kingdoms.
