Paddy Considine as Viserys Targaryen with a baby in House of the Dragon
Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 2 and the book Fire & Blood.
House of the Dragon TV-MA 810 The reign of House Targaryen begins with this prequel to the popular HBO series Game of Thrones. Based on George R.R. Martin's Fire & Blood, House of the Dragon is set nearly 200 years before Game of Thrones, telling the story of the Targaryen civil war with King Viserys.
Within the text of the show, he's alluded to only once, in Episode 10, "The Black Queen," when Daemon is counting the Blacks' advantages in the war, referencing four dragons belonging to the Greens, one for Daeron and each of his siblings. Presumably, as the youngest, Daeron's dragon is the one not counted as an adult earlier in that conversation, but it is still a threat. Apart from being the unexplained fourth, Daeron isn't present in Season 1.
Who Is Daeron Targaryen in 'Fire & Blood'? Otto's statement confirms that throughout the first season, Daeron is staying with his Hightower relatives in Oldtown. According to George RR Martin's novel Fire & Blood, which provides the basis for the show, Daeron is roughly the same age as Jacaerys , making him a young adult in House of the Dragon. In the book, despite Viserys forcing Daeron and Jace to share a wet nurse, they were never friendly.
Aemond still considers Daeron too young and doesn't ask for his help when taking Harrenhal, yet Daeron continues to prove himself. Daeron leads the Sack of Bitterbridge, burning the town with dragonfire in retribution for the death of Aegon's son, Maelor. For a time, Rhaenyra considers Daeron the biggest threat to her rule, as he remains active with the Hightower army.
