Key characters
Key Characters in House of the Dragon
These are the few characters most likely to make the cast and family split easier to follow.
HotD Era
Rhaenyra Targaryen
"The Realm's Delight"
Rhaenyra stands at the center of the Dance, so her branch is one of the clearest ways into the House of the Dragon family split.
HotD Era
Aegon II Targaryen
"King Aegon II"
Aegon II is the main rival claimant to Rhaenyra in House of the Dragon, which makes him essential to the Green branch view of the tree.
HotD Era
Daemon Targaryen
"The Rogue Prince"
Daemon is a cross-branch connector whose relationships make the House of the Dragon era much easier to understand.
HotD Era
Alicent Hightower
"Queen Alicent"
Alicent Hightower is one of the clearest Green branch anchors because her marriage to Viserys I leads directly to Aegon II and Helaena.

"Prince Aemond"
Aemond Targaryen helps readers place the Green branch beside Alicent, Aegon II, and Viserys I.
