Viserys was born in 77 AC, the eldest son of Prince Baelon Targaryen and his sister, Princess Alyssa Targaryen, children of King Jaehaerys I Targaryen and Queen Alysanne Targaryen. He grew to be plump and round-faced, with a bushy silver-gold mustache. He dressed in dark purple silk brocade and wore the gold-and-gemstone circlet of his grandfather, Jaehaerys I Targaryen.
The Old King, Jaehaerys I Targaryen, died in his bed in 103 AC. Viserys inherited a secure throne, a full treasury, and a legacy of goodwill from his grandfather. House Targaryen was at its most powerful during Viserys's time, having the most members and dragons since the Doom of Valyria. Viserys was known as the Young King when he ascended the Iron Throne, and due to his amiable nature the smallfolk were optimistic about his reign. The fool at his court was a dwarf known as Mushroom.
King Viserys's generosity was legendary, and the Red Keep became a place of song and splendor during his reign. He hosted countless balls, feasts, and tournaments, and he lavished gold and offices and honors among those he favored. Viserys was well loved by lords and smallfolk alike. He was a peaceful man who hated conflict, and was plump and pleasant. He was described as amiable, open-handed, and eager to please. Though Viserys was never considered strong willed, he was not pliable or indecisive either; when he made a choice, he was unwavering, and firmly stood by his decision. Holding a splendid court with his cousin and wife, Queen Aemma Arryn, the Young King was determined to maintain the peace and goodwill of his grandfather, Jaehaerys the Wise. Their daughter, Princess Rhaenyra, was six when her father became king. The princess became Viserys's royal cupbearer at the age of eight, and was always by her father's side at feasts, balls, and tourneys. Rhaenyra was dubbed "the realm's delight". In 105 AC, Aemma died in labor while birthing the king's son and heir. Viserys named him Baelon after his late father, Prince Baelon the Brave, but the infant died a day after Aemma.
Since Viserys was not yet thirty, Grand Maester Runciter was the first to urge him to remarry, suggesting Laena Velaryon, daughter of Lord Corlys Velaryon. Such a marriage would have healed the rift between the Iron Throne and Driftmark, since Viserys had been chosen as heir to the Iron Throne over Corlys's son, Laenor Velaryon, in the Great Council of 101 AC. Viserys instead chose Alicent Hightower, the eighteen-year-old daughter of Ser Otto Hightower, his Hand of the King.
Viserys hated conflict, and made repeated attempts to cease the hostilities between the greens and the blacks, with many fights and false apologies issued on both sides. He loved his wife and daughter equally, but they only loved each other when he commanded. So long as Viserys ruled, peace prevailed in the Seven Kingdoms.
Viserys himself never had much interest himself in jousting, hunting, or swordplay. In his midlife, Viserys's stoutness caused him numerous health problems, including gout, aching joints, back pain, and respiratory issues. Towards the end of his life, his girth nearly kept him from ascending the steps to the Iron Throne.
Viserys died on the third day of third moon of 129 AC, in his sleep, in Maegor's Holdfast of the Red Keep, in King's Landing. That day, his daughter Helaena had brought her three children, Jaehaerys, Jaehaera and Maelor, to the king's chambers, where Viserys entertained his grandchildren with a fictional tale about their great-great-grandsire, King Jaehaerys I Targaryen. Afterwards, Viserys sent them away, pleading weariness and a tightness in his chest. He then closed his eyes for a nap, and never woke.
