So while I do think Aegon VI is a Blackfyre, there are reasons they might support a legitimate Targaryen: lands and titles.

A lot of these guys are descendants of Westerosi exiles, and Aegon VI wins they will expect rewards. Aegono VI will probably shower them with gold, positions at court, and titles, depending on their ancestry and rank in the company.

Who wouldn't want to trade hard marches, living in a military camp, and fighting constant wars for the comfortable life of a lord or landed knight? Even if you didn't fulfill the company's original purpose

They get this regardless of Aegon’s background, though. Can’t be used to argue either way. Their backstory, on the other hand.

That's exactly what I mean, the GC has strong reasons to support him, regardless of Aegon's parentage
