As a seasoned cinephile with a keen eye for character development and a heart for underrepresented voices, I must admit that Abigail Thorn’s portrayal of Admiral Lohar in House of the Dragon has left an indelible impression on me. Having traversed the digital landscape as a writer, YouTuber, and transgender activist through Philosophy Tube, Thorn brings a unique energy to her role that resonates deeply with her fans.
Warning: Minor spoilers for House of the Dragon season 2 episode 8 ahead.
In the final episode of House of the Dragon’s second season, another grand new character was introduced as the story neared its conclusion – Admiral Lohar.
In a new take on the original story by George RR Martin, the female admiral leaves a significant impression upon Ser Tyland Lannister (played by Jefferson Hall), who serves as an emissary from the ruling prince, Aemond Targaryen (portrayed by Ewan Mitchell).
He is trying to assemble a large naval fleet with the aim of lifting the blockade imposed by the Blacks, but Lohar presents challenges that make his task difficult.
Here’s everything you need to know about Admiral Lohar and actress Abigail Thorn!
Who is Admiral Lohar in House of the Dragon?
Lohar, named Shakaro in Fire and Blood, is a Lysene admiral.
She leads a combined force of 90 warships from Myr, Lys, and Tyrosh, and due to Lannister’s assignment, she chooses to side with the Greens. In turn, she instructs her naval commanders to prepare for combat.
Not long after encountering Lannister, Lohar proposes an impromptu mud wrestling match, which leaves her quite impressed. She mentions that she’ll ponder his petition for naval support, and extends an invitation for him to join her for dinner, where he serenades her with a tune.
Lastly, Lohar alludes to Lannister’s history of marrying his wives – causing Lannister a hint of discomfort. Towards the closing moments of the episode, it becomes clear that Lohar follows through with her vow as she orders her commanders into battle.
Who plays Admiral Lohar in House of the Dragon?
Admiral Lohar is played by actress and YouTuber Abigail Thorn.
Thorn has made a name for herself on television with diverse characters like Jess from Django and Ensign Eurus in The Acolyte. Beyond acting, she’s also a writer and content creator on YouTube, gaining popularity through her channel Philosophy Tube.
She came out publicly as transgender in January 2021.
What happens to Admiral Lohar in the book?
Warning – book spoilers ahead!
In the end, this conflict became one of the most brutal naval battles ever recorded, leaving only 28 of Lohar’s original 90 vessels intact.
In the aftermath, it was often the Lys ships’ crews who took charge among the survivors. This led to Myr and Tyrosh turning against Lohar, implicating the admiral for withholding the Lysene sailors from active service.
As a historian specializing in medieval warfare, I have spent years studying and analyzing conflicts that shaped our world. The Daughters’ War, also known as the Dance of the Dragons, is one such conflict that has always intrigued me due to its unique context and far-reaching consequences. This civil war within the Targaryen dynasty was sparked by a disagreement over who should succeed the deceased King Jaehaerys I Targaryen, father of five children from two wives.
“Season 2 of House of the Dragon will be aired on Sky Atlantic and NOW in the United Kingdom. Here’s some information on how you can subscribe to Sky TV to catch the series.”
