HBO looking for its new Targaryen Prince
Game of Thrones finale episode left its viewers in shambles with its shocking ending. Fans are now looking forward to the prequel that was announced in October 2019. New reports by Illuminerdi show that HBO has revealed an important character from the prequel and is looking for its Targaryen prince.
In a video of Illuminerdi, the Targaryen prince, Daemon Targaryen's description has been revealed. He is said to be, "The Rogue Prince.” Prince Daemon Targaryen is the younger brother of King Viserys Targaryen. The character is described as a middle-aged man, around 40-50 years old. Daemon Targaryen was in line to take the throne but never showed his desire for the same. He was always looking to please his brother, the King. He is said to be skilled with a sword and is a seasoned warrior.
In the Westerosi lore in books, Prince Daemon Targaryen always had an eye on the Iron Throne. He married his own niece, Rhaenyra Targaryen, who he made the rightful Queen of the Seven Kingdoms. This was one of the reasons that started the Dance of Dragons.
