The first rose in 37 AC at the start of the reign of King Aenys I Targaryen. In subsequent generations, several other leaders of rebels and outlaws in the Red Mountains called themselves "Vulture Kings" after the original, but whether any were related by blood to the first is unknown.[1]

According to a semi-canon source, one Vulture King may have been a Blackmont.[2]
