Chapter 4 - Ser Maekar Blackfyre

Ser Maekar Blackfyre, scion of House Blackfyre, was knighted at the young age of thirteen by his father, Ser Aenys Blackfyre, and has already demonstrated the tactical mind of a seasoned commander. Though royal by blood, Maekar chose the Kingsguard to protect his grandfather, King Aegon VI Blackfyre, and to serve the Crown above all else, showing a rare blend of loyalty and ambition. Also served in King Haegon I Blackfyre's Kingsguard.

Despite his youth, he has distinguished himself in both training and early engagements. He participated in several skirmishes during the pacification of rebellious holds, where his clever maneuvering and decisive actions turned potential defeats into victories. Fellow knights speak of his prowess in single combat — swift, calculated, and formidable — earning him respect across the White Book.

Maekar's strategies often emphasize precision and speed. Where older commanders rely on brute force, he studies the terrain, anticipates enemy movements, and strikes at critical weaknesses. Though recently appointed to the Kingsguard, his presence inspires both younger squires and seasoned knights, signaling that a new generation of Blackfyres is prepared to defend the realm.

At twenty-four, he embodies both the fire of his house and the discipline demanded of the Kingsguard. The Crimson Fang is not merely a nickname; it is a mark of a young knight whose teeth sink deep into any challenge, unwavering in defense of his king and kin.
