About

Daenerys is the only daughter and youngest child of King Aerys II Targaryen, the "Mad King", and his sister-wife, Rhaella. Her father died during the Sack of King's Landing, before she was even born. The usurper Robert Baratheon installed himself as king, having defeated Aerys in the conquest known as Robert's Rebellion. Her pregnant mother and brother Viserys, fled to the island of Dragonstone, the ancestral home of House Targaryen, to escape Robert. Daenerys's brother Rhaegar Targaryen was killed in the war by Robert. The forces of House Lannister murdered Rhaegar's wife, Elia Martell, and their children, Rhaenys and Aegon, during the Sack of King's Landing.

On the night Daenerys was born on Dragonstone, a severe storm raged. For this reason, she is sometimes called "Daenerys Stormborn". Her mother died soon after she was born, leaving her an orphan. As a baby, she was taken into exile in the Free Cities with her brother, Viserys, by loyal retainers, among them Ser Willem Darry.

Timeline

Daenerys is Born

Daenerys is born in Dragonstone, on the night of a severe storm. Her mother died soon after she was born, leaving her an orphan. As a baby, she was taken into exile in the Free Cities with her brother, Viserys.

Daenerys grows up in exile with Viserys

After years spent fruitlessly trying to raise support to retake the Iron Throne, Viserys and Daenerys were given sanctuary by Magister Illyrio Mopatis in the Free City of Pentos. She dreams of finding a peaceful home and a place to belong. She lives in constant fear of Viserys, who hits her when his temper is risen. Living under Viserys's domination has left her meek and malleable

Daenerys is married off to Khal Drogo

Viserys and Daenerys stay at the estate of Magister Illyrio Mopatis who has brokered a deal for her to marry Khal Drogo of the Dothraki. Daenerys does not want to marry him, but Viserys has traded her to Drogo in exchange for an army of 40,000 men of Drogo's khalasar, which Viserys plans to use in his invasion of Westeros. At the wedding, she receives three dragon eggs from Magister Illyrio, who tells her that they have been turned to stone by the passage of time.

Daenerys becomes a widow

Drogo is left in a vegetative state from festering wound after being wounded in a battle. Daenerys is forced to accept he will never truly be alive again, remaining in a vegetative state, and must smother him with a pillow to end it. A funeral pyre is prepare for Drogo, in which Daenerys place her dragon eggs before stepping into the flames. The following morning it is revealed that she has survived, and three newly-hatched dragons are clinging to her body, the first three dragons in the world in a century and a half.

Daenerys gets the Unsullied Army

Daenerys arrives at Astapor, Slaver's Bay with her dragons and learns about the Unsullied Army. Ser Jorah recommends that Daenerys purchase the Unsullied, arguing that under her command, these slave soldiers will have a far better quality of life serving her, which prompts Daenerys to reach an agreement with Kraznys to sell her biggest dragon, Drogon, for all of the Unsullied soldiers. On the day of the exchange, with the unsullied under her command, she suprises everone by ordering the unsullied to kill all the masters and sacks Astapor with little resistance.

Victory over The Lannister/Tarly Army

When the combined armies of Jaime Lannister and Randyll Tarly prepare to finally leave Highgarden, Daenerys's horde of Dothraki attacks them as they cross the plains of the Reach, with Daenerys herself leading the charge riding on the back of Drogon. The Lannister/Tarly infantry assume an anti-cavalry shieldwall, but Daenerys has Drogon blast them with dragonfire, clearing a path through the formation for her warriors to charge. Although the Lannister and Tarly forces fight fiercely and inflict heavy casualties against the Dothraki at first, the combination of dragonfire and cavalry charges overwhelms them, and their formations soon fall apart.

Daenerys arrives at Dragonpit

The Dragon Queen makes a suitably dramatic entrance on Drogon's back, with Rhaegal flying overhead at Dragonpit for a meeting with Cersei Lannister and the various factions to discuss the much bigger looming threat of the night walkers. Cersei dismisses it as a ploy to trick her into lowering her defenses. To prove their claims, Daenerys' faction presents a catpured whitewalker to Cersei's faction. Seemingly convinced, Cersei immediately offers terms: satisfied that Daenerys is concerned with the Army of the Dead, Cersei will not withdraw her troops, but will guarantee that they will not hinder the Targaryen or Northern forces in any way during the battle against the White Walkers.
