Aemon NightEyes is a Burrower who resides in Last Wood’s Pepper Grass Nook village. He is one of the three blind mice brothers. Unlike Romo NightEyes and Geordi NightEyes, Aemon NightEyes avoided capture during the invasion by the Umbra Legion.

Geordi Nighteyes wants you to place Aemon’s music box under the Harmony Tree in Peppergrass Nook. Aemon, upon hearing the music box is prepared to thwack you. He is overjoyed to discover his brothers are still alive.

Aemon was born into House Targaryen. He was the second son of King Maekar I and Lady Dyanna Dayne. Originally known as Prince Aemon Targaryen, he was not his father’s eldest son, so he eventually joined the Order of Maesters. Aemon gave up all rights to inheritance when he took his vows, which also included relinquishing his surname “Targaryen”.

Aemon was the maester at Castle Black in service of the Night’s Watch. He was among Lord Commander Jeor Mormont’s closest advisors.

He was born Aemon Targaryen and was the last known Targaryen in Westeros. He was the great-uncle of Daenerys Targaryen, and unbeknownst to him, the great-great uncle of Jon Snow. Aemon’s origins have long been forgotten by most, as he remained dedicated to his vows as a Maester and a brother of the Night’s Watch for many decades.
