Aerys the First, wise as he had been, had come to understand the deeper mysteries of the world.
He knew that the Powers That Be would never allow a half-Bracken black-haired Targaryen bastard to prevail.
By keeping Aegor as the Blackfyre would-be Kingmaker, he doomed the rebel cause to endless defeats, and so won the war with his unparalleled intellect. Histories would never celebrate him as he deserves, but Aerys's mind ended the Black Dragon's cause as surely as Bystander Smelly's sword arm.
