Viserion is the cream-and-gold dragon of Daenerys Targaryen, hatched in 299 AC upon Khal Drogo's pyre beside Drogon and Rhaegal and named for her brother Viserys. His scales are cream, his horns, wing bones, and spinal crest gold, and his eyes two pools of molten gold; his flame is pale gold shot with red and orange, and men who see him call him the white dragon. He is the gentlest of the three, fond enough of the sellsword Brown Ben Plumm to land upon his shoulder.
When the queen chained her dragons in Meereen, she led Viserion down to the pit beneath the Great Pyramid herself and shut him in with oxen, and he was chained while he slept off the feast. By the time she showed the dragons to Prince Quentyn Martell he had shattered one chain and melted the others, and clung to the roof of the pit like a great white bat. After Daenerys vanished from Daznak's Pit, Quentyn came with a whip to tame him, and a crossbow bolt from one of the Brazen Beasts turned the dragon on the men; in the chaos the pit doors were left open, and Viserion flew free to make his lair in the pyramid of Uhlez. Ser Barristan Selmy has since seen pale wings moving above the hills beyond the city.
