6 crucial things to remember before House Of The Dragon returns

It’s not surprising Daemon became a fan favorite during season one, despite committing some horrible deeds—he killed his first wife, seduced his young niece, is often a nuisance to his older brother Viserys and can be quite cruel. The credit for liking him against all odds is Smith’s hard-to-resist charm (just ask Rhaenyra). But the show’s debut run displays it’s hard to trust Daemon, as tempting as it may be, even when he’s genuinely trying to do better.When season one begins, he’s ruthless and cares only about his ascension to the throne (okay, and there’s affection for Rhaenyra, taking her to a brothel and everything). When his plans for the Iron Throne are thwarted, he marries Laena Velaryon (Nanna Blondell), who dies in Pentos while giving birth to their third kid. So with daughters Baela (Bethany Antonia) and Rhaena Targaryen (Phoebe Cambell) by his side, Daemon reunites with Rhaenyra, marrying her to secure her claim as queen. Even if he’s the one who puts a crown on her head, there’s no telling if Daemon can get over not being in charge. His random beatings of people, even putting Rhaenyra in a chokehold once, reflects his impulsive, violent nature. He might love his wife, but is he ready to obey her? ” And then there’s Mysaria (Sonoya Mizuno putting on one of the worst fake accents ever). A former prostitute who goes by the White Worm, Mysaria is Daemon’s lover in early season one. Their dates include going riding on Caraxes and chilling together at Dragonstone when he’s sent away. She leaves him when he lies about her being pregnant only to return years later as a superior spymaster in the capital. She switches sides and aids Otto in helping Aegon succeed in exchange for shutting down wrongful establishments in Flea Bottom. She’s important to the story because in season two, Mysaria is back and her network of moles is crucial in the war to come.
