It’s easy to forget, but Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke) actually has four children in House of the Dragon. Just take a look at the Targaryen family tree: We have Aegon II (Tom Glynn-Carney), Aemond (Ewan Mitchell) and Helaena (Phia Saban), of course, but there’s also another son who’s never appeared in the show: Daeron.
You could be forgiven for thinking this spare kid was all but cut out, but after episode 6 it looks like he might finally be getting a look in.
So who exactly is Daeron, where is he, and how might he feature in the rest of Season 2?
