King Viserys Targaryen / Paddy Considine
King Viserys is elected by the lords of Westeros as successor to the Old King, Jaehaerys Targaryen, at the Great Council of Harrenhal.
A warm, kind and decent man, Viserys wishes only to carry on his grandfather’s legacy. But good men are not necessarily great kings.
Prince Daemon Targaryen / Matt Smith
Daemon is the younger brother of King Viserys and heir to the throne. A peerless warrior and dragon rider, Daemon possesses the true blood of the dragon.
But it is said that every time a Targaryen is born, the gods flip a coin.
Alicent Hightower / Olivia Cooke
Alicent is the daughter of Otto Hightower, the Hand of the King, and the most attractive woman in the Seven Kingdoms. She grew up in the Red Keep, close to the king and his inner circle.
Hightower possesses both courtly grace and keen political acumen.
Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen / Emma D’Arcy
Rhaenyra is the firstborn of the king, she is of pure Valyrian blood and is a rider of dragons. Many would say that Rhaenyra was born with everything.
But the fact of being a woman will make her deal with different obstacles to ascend the throne.
Lord Corlys Velaryon / Steve Toussaint
This man is also known as “The Sea Serpent”. Lord Corlys is lord of House Velaryon, a Valyrian bloodline as old as House Targaryen.
The Serpent of the Sea is the most famous nautical adventurer in the history of Westeros, Lord Corlys built his house into a mighty seat that is even richer than the Lannisters and claims the world’s greatest navy.
Rhaenys Targaryen / Eve Best
The dragonrider and wife of Lord Corlys Velaryon, “The Queen That Never Was” was ruled out as heir to the throne by the High Council because the realm favored her cousin, Viserys, simply because he was male.
Being Criston Cole / Fabien Frankel
Of Dornish descent, common son of the Lord of Blackhaven’s steward. Cole is not entitled to land or title; all he has to his name is his honor and his preternatural skill with a sword.
Mysaria / Sonoya Mizuno
Mysaria arrived in Westeros with nothing, sold more times than she can remember. She might have withered, but instead she rose to become the most trusted—and most unlikely—ally of Prince Daemon Targaryen, the heir to the throne.
Otto Hightower / Rhys Ifans
Hightower is the Right Hand of the King, loyally and faithfully serving his king and kingdom. According to the Hand, the greatest threat to the kingdom is the king’s brother, Daemon, and his position as heir to the throne.
The first season of Game of Thrones: House of the Dragon will premiere on August 21 on both the HBO channel and the HBO Max platform.
