Aemond had been humiliated and despised since his childhood. He lost one eye in a fight with the Strong bastards and later he took Vhagar for himself. Then, although he wanted to marry Helaena, he couldn't do so due to the rules and Helaena married his brother, Aegon. While Aemond was having sex with women in the brothel, he was growing inside with anger, pain and hatred. He would support the Greens until the end in their war with the Blacks. At that time, he went to Harrenhal and met the love of his life, Alys Rivers. During this time, the Kingdom was defenseless and his uncle Daemon was coming up with a new plan.
