Aerys is a character of George R. R. Martin's Ice and Fire books.
Pathologically wary of barbers and the sharp blades they flourish, he refuses to allow his hair or his nails to be trimmed. The horrid thing he is sitting on is the Iron Throne, which is iron, big, ugly and full of sharp edges and points. He is continually scratching and cutting himself on it.
Ah, the joys of kingship...
And in my case, any excuse to draw dark spiky things...
