Daemon is handsome, with a strong jaw, sky blue eyes, and light sandy brown hair. He has a close-cropped beard, and dimples appear when he smiles.[2]
Daemon is tall and gallant on horseback.[2]
History
Daemon is not much older than Princess Arianne Martell.[2] He took her maidenhead when they were both fourteen years old, and their couplings had been both clumsy and ardent. Arianne recalls that it had been sweet.[2] Although her father Doran, Prince of Dorne, eventually learned of this, he did not react to it.[3] Daemon asked Doran for Arianne's hand but was refused,[4] and relations between Daemon and Arianne were not the same after.[2]
Daemon squired for Prince Oberyn Martell[5] and received his knighthood from the Red Viper himself.[2] There are rumors he also became Oberyn's lover, though this is seldom said to his face.[2]

The man was as smug as he was comely. Of all the knights in Dorne, why did my father chose this one to be my shield? He knows our history.[2]
