House of the Dragon: Who is Daeron, the son of Alycente and Viserys, who is expected to appear in the second season of the series?

The character has not yet appeared, but has already been confirmed

Dragon House several Targaryens appeared in their episodes, but fans George R. R. Martin missed: prince Daeron Targaryen. The youngest son of Queen Alicent and King Viserys, the absence of the boy has sparked discussions about a possible reduction – but the author himself has already confirmed that the character will still appear in the series.

In a new post on your blog, Martin briefly commented on the series. Speaking of the time jumps, he explained that a lot of it was due to the lack of time to develop everything in the limited number of episodes. In the midst of this, the writer quoted Daeron, confirming his presence in the series:

“I wish we had more time to explore the relationship between Rhaenyra and Ser Harvin, the marriage of Damon and Laena and their time in Pentos, the birth of many, many children (and YES, Alycent gave Viserys four children, three sons and a daughter , his youngest son Daeron in Oldtown, we just didn’t have time to work with him this season), and everything else had to be skipped? Clean.”

However, for those who have only watched the series, the existence of Viserys and another child, Alycent, can be confusing, since this has not been stated in the series until now. in books Dayron is the youngest of the couple’s four children.like Martin said. Like his brothers, he is also a dragon rider, forming a bond with Tessarionalso called blue queen.

Physically similar to his older brothers, he has silver hair and purple Targaryen eyes. Despite this, he is considered the most handsome among the three boys, as well as being polite, intelligent, and kind, which makes him quite popular. Because he is the youngest and lives in the shadow of his brothers, he becomes an obedient person, more inclined to follow orders than others.

Like Aegon and Aymond, he also has rivalry with Rainier’s children, Jaqueiris, Luceris and Joffrey as children. Despite this, Daeron is sent to Old villagewhen he was only twelve years old, when he became a squire Lord Ormund Hightower.

The character was still with the Hightowers when Dragon dance began, as it seems, in the series. He becomes an important part of the conflict, siding with Ormund and his army in several battles and representing significant threat Rainier because of the power of Tessarion.

There are still no more details about the character in the series other than that he confirmed in production. Even before Martin’s statement in the opening credits, you can see that four blood lines move away from the coat of arms of Alycente, although so far only Aegon, Aymond and Helena have been represented.
