I’ve had the pleasure of delving deep into the captivating world of House of the Dragon, and let me tell you, the rich tapestry of characters that populate this prequel to Game of Thrones is nothing short of mesmerizing. Two of these intriguing individuals are Alexis Raben’s Talya and Roger Evans’ Lord Borros Baratheon.
All must choose a side.
The second season of House of the Dragon has arrived, drawing audiences once again into the intriguing realm of Westeros, as it unfolds the ongoing conflict within House Targaryen’s civil war.
In the second season, the story continues not long after the finale of the first, during which Dowager Queen Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke) disregarded the last wishes of her deceased husband, King Viserys I Targaryen (Paddy Considine), and placed their son, Prince Aegon II Targaryen (Tom Glynn-Carney), on the throne instead of his eldest child and rightful heir, Queen Rhaenyra I Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy).
In the latest installments, Rhaenyra’s faction, comprised of herself, Daemon, their offspring, and Velaryon kin, clashes fiercely with Aegon’s Greens. The Greens are led mainly by Alicent, her children, Ser Criston Cole (Fabien Frankel), and the Hightower family members.
In this article, I’ll introduce you to the actors and their roles in “House of the Dragon,” along with the famous characters they represent from George RR Martin’s novels. Additionally, I’ll share which teams they align with: Black or Green.

Matt Smith plays King Consort Daemon Targaryen
In simpler terms, who is Daemon Targaryen, the King’s Consort? Daemon is King Viserys’ younger brother and a skilled warrior. However, his impulsive and risky actions make some lords question whether he should ascend to the throne, even though he is next in line due to Viserys having no legitimate son. He’s commonly referred to as “The Rogue Prince.”
In the beginning of the story, Daemon is unhappily married to Lady Rhea Royce of Runestone, but he also maintains a secret relationship with Mysaria, a prostitute and dancer. Following Lady Rhea’s passing, Daemon enters into another marriage with Lady Laena Velaryon and welcomes two daughters, Baela and Rhaena, into his life.
After Lady Laena Velaryon’s passing, Daemon later married his own niece, Rhaenyra, and they had two sons together: Aegon the Younger and Viserys as their offspring.
When King Viserys passed away, Daemon forcefully supported his wife’s bid for the throne. However, was he acting in her interests or his own?
In addition to his famous role as The Eleventh Doctor on Doctor Who, Matt Smith has appeared in other projects. He made guest appearances in The Sarah Jane Adventures and An Adventure in Space and Time while still playing The Doctor. After leaving the show, Smith joined the cast of Netflix’s The Crown as a young Prince Philip. Furthermore, he has acted in films like Terminator Genisys, His House, Last Night in Soho, and Morbius.

What is the identity of Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen?: Rhaenyra is King Viserys’ daughter and aspires to be the first queen of the Seven Kingdoms upon her father’s reign ending. However, the custom mandates that only males can rule, making it challenging to gain the support of Westeros Lords for this notion. At the start of the series, Rhaenyra enjoys a strong bond with Lady Alicent Hightower; however, their friendship will be put to the test by the complex political landscape.
In the start of the second year, Rhaenyra is declared queen over the Seven Realms, yet her rule is met with doubt from some quarters, leading to clashes and casualties.
The role in her younger years is played by Milly Alcock.
In addition to her work on Wanderlust with Toni Collette, D’Arcy has appeared in ITV’s Wild Bill and Prime Video originals Hanna and Truth Seekers. On the big screen, they have acted in British productions Misbehaviour and Mothering Sunday.
In addition to what, here are some other shows Milly Alcock has acted in: Janet King, A Place to Call Home, Fighting Season, Pine Gap, Les Norton, The Gloaming, and Reckoning. (This version maintains the question format while using more common phrasing and adding “in addition to” for clarity.)
Olivia Cooke plays Dowager Queen Alicent Hightower
What is the background of Lady Alicent Hightower, who becomes the Dowager Queen? Born to Lord Otto Hightower, she grew up in close proximity to the royal family as her father held a significant position as Hand to the King. Her bond with Princess Rhaenyra blossomed during those years. However, their friendship will face trials in the future, and Alicent may display remarkable resilience to emerge victorious from the intense power struggles. As Queen Consort of the Seven Kingdoms, she is also the mother of Prince Aegon, Princess Helaena, and Prince Aemond.
After King Viserys passes away, Alicent works to secure her son Aegon’s position as king and protect his reign.
The role in her younger years is played by Emily Carey.
In addition to her notable role in Bates Motel, Olivia Cooke has made appearances in various other films and series.

He harbors a deep-seated animosity towards Daemon and works diligently to prevent him from gaining influence. Moreover, Ser Otto utilizes his daughter Alicent in his power plays.
After installing his grandson Aegon on the Iron Throne upon Viserys’s demise, Ser Otto discovers that Aegon prefers a more assertive political approach than Otto’s passive style.
In addition to his roles in Notting Hill, Kevin & Perry Go Large, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1, Alice Through The Looking Glass, The Amazing Spider-Man and No Way Home as the villain Lizard, and Elementary as Mycroft Holmes, as well as Gubby in Sky’s Temple on television, Rhys Ifans has appeared in other productions as well.

Criston’s exceptional swordsmanship garners him recognition and progress in King’s Landing, catching the attention of both Princess Rhaenyra and Alicent Hightower. As Ser Criston rises to become a member of the Kingsguard, it is important to keep in mind that this position necessitates devotion, loyalty, and honor. Will Criston remain faithful to his commitments?
In the midst of the chaotic “Dance of the Dragons,” I found myself rooting for Ser Criston as he rose through the tumultuous ranks, unwaveringly committed to Team Green.
In addition to “The Serpent,” what other shows or films has Fabien Frankel appeared in?
Sonoya Mizuno plays Mysaria
As a devoted cinema enthusiast, I’d rephrase that question in this way: “I’m intrigued by the mysterious figure of Mysaria. Originally hailing from humble beginnings as a dancer and slave, she has remarkably transformed into Prince Daemon Targaryen’s closest confidante and lover. By the finale of episode one, they depart King’s Landing on the majestic back of Caraxes, Daemon’s dragon.

What is the identity of Ser Joffrey Lonmouth? He is a knight, affectionately known as “The Knight of Kisses,” who is part of House Velaryon and was formerly involved in a romantic relationship with Ser Laenor Velaryon, until his tragic demise at the hands of Ser Criston Cole.
I’ve seen Solly McLeod shine in a few productions now. He’s had notable roles in “Outlander” and “The Rising.” And if you’re keeping up with the latest TV shows, get ready to see him bring Tom Jones to life on ITV soon.
Rachel Redford plays Lady Rhea Royce
What is the identity of Lady Rhea Royce? She is the former wife of Prince Daemon Targaryen and the wealthy lady of Runestone in the Vale of Arryn. Prince Daemon has nicknamed her derisively as his “bronze-haired woman.”
Another way to say “What else has Rachel Redford been in?” is: “In addition to what, which are Shadow and Bone and Gap Year, has Rachel Redford acted in?” or “Rachel Redford has also featured in the shows Shadow and Bone and Gap Year. What other productions has she been involved in?”
Owen Oakeshott plays Ser Gerold Royce
Who is Ser Gerold Royce? The cousin of Lady Rhea Royce who has a bone to pick with Prince Daemon following her death.
In addition to the mentioned films, Owen Oakeshott has also acted in “The Elder” and “The Upside of Anger”.
Elliot Grihault and Harvey Salder play Prince Lucerys Velaryon
What is the identity of Prince Lucerys Velaryon? He is the second-born child of Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, recognized as the son of Ser Laenor Velaryon. However, there are rumors that he may be the illegitimate offspring of Ser Harwin Strong. Known as “Luke,” Lucerys is a dragon rider, and his mount is the dragon named Arrax.
As a movie buff, I’d put it this way: I’ve seen Harvey Sadler bring Prince Lucerys Velaryon to life as a kid, while Elliot Grihault does an amazing job portraying him as a young adult.
Arty Froushan plays Ser Qarl Correy
What is the identity of Ser Qarl Correy? He is a knight who has earned recognition through battles in the Stepstones and shares both companionship and romantic affections with Ser Laenor Velaryon.
In addition to “Arty Froushan” being in “Fleabag,” this talented British-Iranian actor has also graced our screens in “Strike Back,” “Carnival Row,” and “Knightfall.”

What else has Dean Nolan been in? Nolan has also appeared the films Pan and London Road.
Alexis Raben plays Talya
Who is Talya? The lady-in-waiting to Queen Alicent Hightower and a spy for Mysaria, the White Worm.
As a huge fan of both television and excellent acting, I have been captivated by the talent and versatility of Alexis Raben. Having grown up in Russia before making her way to Hollywood, Raben has left an indelible mark on the industry with her memorable roles in shows like Banshees, Krypton, and Game of Thrones season 5 episode 5, The Bells.
Roger Evans plays Lord Borros Baratheon
What is the identity of Lord Borros Baratheon? He is the son of Lord Boremund Baratheon, ruler of Storm’s End and the Stormlands’ highest-ranking lord. A valuable partner in any struggle for the Iron Throne, Lord Borros stands out due to his refusal to pledge allegiance to Rhaenyra like his father did before him.
Another way to phrase it: Besides “X,” what other projects has Roger Evans worked on? Evans has additionally appeared in The Crown, The Legend of Tarzan, and Svengali.
