Aegon Targaryen, the son of Prince Rhaegar Targaryen, is an unseen character in Game of Thrones. He is deceased when the events of the series begin and is not expected to appear in the series.

Background
Aegon Targaryen was the son of Prince Rhaegar Targaryen and Elia Martell. He had an older sister, Rhaenys Targaryen, and a younger paternal half-brother, Jon Snow. House Targaryen was deposed as the ruling house of Westeros during Robert's Rebellion. Rhaegar was killed during the fighting and Elia and both their children were killed soon afterwards during the Sack of King's Landing.

Had he lived and ascended the throne, he would have ruled as "Aegon VI".
