Viserys had silver-gold hair.{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - The Voyage of Alyn Oakenfist}} In his youth, Viserys was said to be striking, though he was not as handsome as his older brother, [[Aegon III Targaryen|Aegon]].{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - The Voyage of Alyn Oakenfist}} According to a semi-canon source, Viserys II was clean-shaven with long hair. He had a prominent nose, bushy eyebrows and a shrewd, calculating look to him. Once king, he wore the simple crown of [[Aegon III Targaryen|Aegon III]].<ref>[[So Spake Martin]]: [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/Targaryen_Kings Targaryen Kings], November 1, 2005</ref>

Viserys was frailer than his brother Aegon in his youth, but was more mature than Aegon and their [[House Velaryon|Velaryon]] half-brothers ([[Jacaerys Velaryon|Jacaerys]], [[Lucerys Velaryon|Lucerys]], and [[Joffrey Velaryon|Joffrey]]).{{Ref|FAB|Heirs of the Dragon - A Question of Succession}} As a boy, Viserys was said to be clever and gallant.{{Ref|FAB|The Lysene Spring and the End of The Regency}} He was well-educated by tutors during his captivity, and excelled at the art of swordsmanship under his [[master-at-arms]].{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - The Voyage of Alyn Oakenfist}}

Unlike Aegon, Viserys had the gift of charm, but later became stern.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon III}} Due to his intelligence, he was later in life compared to his great-great-grandfather, King [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen]], in terms of political capability.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon III}} According to [[Tyrion Lannister]], Viserys had been far better suited to rule the [[Seven Kingdoms]] than the nephews ([[Daeron I Targaryen|Daeron I]] and [[Baelor I Targaryen|Baelor I]]) he served loyally as [[Hand of the King]].{{Ref|ASOS|59}}
