Viserys Targaryen is a character in the HBO series Game of Thrones, the second son of the late King Aerys II, the 'Mad King.' Exiled to the Free Cities of Essos after Robert's Rebellion, he styles himself King Viserys III and is obsessed with reclaiming the Iron Throne.
To buy an army, Viserys marries his sister Daenerys to the Dothraki warlord Khal Drogo, but his arrogance and cruelty steadily erode his standing. He is ultimately killed by Drogo, who crowns him with molten gold. This overview summarizes his on-screen depiction; see the Timeline for chronology.
