Fabien Frankel, who plays the role of Ser Criston Cole in HouseOfTheDragon, details the relationship between his character and Alicent's children: 'He’s been very close to a father figure to them.'
Warning: Minor spoilers for House of the Dragon season 1, episode 9, "The Green Council" ahead.Fabien Frankel, who plays Ser Criston Cole in HBO's House of the Dragon, details his character's bond with Alicent's children. The Game of Thrones prequel series, set nearly 200 years before the events of the original HBO fantasy show, has featured several time jumps, causing many changes in its characters over the many years it has covered.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Several violent outbursts and his single-minded loyalty to Alicent even as she ramps up her treasonous plans have caused Ser Criston to lose points with audiences. Additionally, his behavior while acting as Master of Arms and training Rhaenyra and Alicent's children only made him less likable, as he was overly harsh on Rhaenyra's younger kids while favoring Alicent's children.
"I think he sees it as his duty, by proxy of being Alicent’s sworn protector, to protect these boys. He’s been very close to a father figure to them." Criston & Alicent's Season 1 Relationship Explained Frankel's mention of Ser Criston as a father figure to Alicent's children is surprising, since viewers haven't seen much of that side of their relationship. For instance, he didn't take Rhaenyra's son's eye at Alicent's behest in House of the Dragon season 1 episode 7, "Driftmark", saying he is only her protector.
Though Ser Criston started out as one of Rhaenyra's fervent supporters, her rejection of his proposal to run off with him and Alicent's pardoning of his murderous actions fully brought him to Alicent's side. He may be duty-bound to protect Alicent due to being sworn to her, but the two have also bonded over perceiving Rhaenyra as a common enemy and seeking to keep her off the throne due to their personal issues with the princess.
