How will Daemon's shift affect *House of the Dragon* season 2?

Daemon's erratic and rather crazy attitude made him among the most interesting characters in the well-received *House of the Dragon* season 1. For the character, a memorable event comes when he single-handed kills the Crabfeeder. Over the season, he also shows how prone to violence he is and his merciless treatment of everyone who gets in the way of his aspirations.

Following Luke's (Elliot Grihault) death in the *House of the Dragon* season 1 finale, the war between the Greens and Blacks is set to get more intense. Though Daemon is obviously a useful asset for a battle because of his combat talents and inclination for violence, his changed demeanor in Season 2 could make him less of a benefit overall. Should Daemon lose part of his edge, Rhaenyra could suffer from his changed attitude.

*House of the Dragon*'s Backstory

Comprising around 172 years before the events of *Game of Thrones,* *House of the Dragon* traces the rise of the Targaryens, the only dragonlord clan to escape Valyria's Doom. The popular HBO spinoff series first starred Milly Alcock and Emily Carey as Rhaenyra Targaryen and Alicent Hightower until Emma D'Arcy and Olivia Cooke replaced the elder versions of the characters. As Rhaenyra's father, King Viserys Targaryen, Matt Smith (Prince Daemon Targaryen) and Paddy Considine also feature in the show.

The popularity of the application gives the creators encouraging signals. A big audience will surely be drawn to the program because to its outstanding cast and gripping narrative.

Diverse Daemon?

In a sense he stumbles into anonymity. He gets sloppier, softer, fatter, slower. And he's sort of hounded by his demons, really, by ghosts, by apparitions, by his own sense — the weight of all the horrible crimes he's done really comes home to roost, so to speak. And I believe he gets more vulnerable, actually in a sense."

"He sort of falls into anonymity in a different manner. He gets bigger, lazy, softer, slower.

And I believe he gets increasingly vulnerable, actually in a sense.
