While fans and viewers are enjoying House of The Dragon season 2 on HBO, many might have noticed the mention of Prince Daeron Targaryen, iconically known as Daeron the Daring in George R. R. Martin's Fire & Blood.
Prince Daeron is the youngest son of King Viserys and Alicent Hightower and one of the key figures in the history of House Targaryen. However, the character hasn't appeared in the series yet.
Considering the hints given in episode 6 of House of The Dragon, it seems like Prince Daeron Targaryen will soon be introduced in the HBO series.
Daeron the Daring in George R. R. Martin's Fire & Blood
Game of Thrones prequel House of The Dragon took no time to become another HBO hit series, with the current season 2 generating buzz among fans.
The ongoing season consists of eight episodes, with six already out, as fans await the next big conflict between the dragonlords.
During episode six, Prince Daeron Targaryen's mention intrigued fans about his arrival during the war. The character development of the Prince in George R. R. Martin's book describes him as a mighty player among the Greens and will play a significant role during the war over the Iron Throne of Westeros.
Since Prince Daeron Targaryen is yet to appear in House of The Dragon, let's delve into the original character crafted in George R. R. Martin's Fire & Blood.
Like the prominent dragonlords in House Targaryen, Daeron the Daring will also emerge as the key contributor to his team during the Dance of the Dragons.
According to Martin's Fire & Blood, soon after Prince Daeron Targaryen was born, he was sent to Oldtown, away from his family, without a Dragon, and unaware of the conflict.
Despite that, the young lad transformed into the most kind-hearted and brave player among his siblings.
However, with time the conflict over the throne intensified and luckily Prince Daeron was young enough to fight. He significantly contributed to the Greens and became a huge threat to the Blacks, especially Rhaenyra Targaryen.
After witnessing his exceptional fighting skills, bravery, and kind behavior, Prince Daeron got the name Daeron the Daring.
When Will Prince Daeron Appear in the HBO House of The Dragon Series?
As House of The Dragon Season 2 will soon end, there are speculations about Prince Daeron's introduction to the series. Despite his mentions in the sixth episode and the teaser of episode seven, no actor has been cast as Prince Daeron yet.
In an interview with Variety, showrunner Ryan Condal shed light on Prince Daeron and revealed that he hasn't finalized an actor for the role. Condal said:
"Daeron has not been cast yet. I’ve said he’s a character in the show, but at this point in the story, he’s in Oldtown where he was warded off as a young child. So we don’t have a point-of-view character in that world yet and there is no dramatic reason to go there."
The showrunner also mentioned that Prince Daeron hasn't become a dragon rider yet, but that doesn't mean a dragon hasn't been born for him. Per Condal, the Prince will eventually reach his family after developing skills, and the plan is to introduce Prince Daeron according to the events of George R.R. Martin's book.
