Matt Smith's Daemon Targaryen has already become one of HouseoftheDragon's most fascinating characters.
Editor's note: The below contains spoilers for House of the Dragon.When first introduced in “The Heirs of the Dragon,” the first episode of House of the Dragon, Daemon Targaryen certainly seems to fill the role of the series’ default antagonist. Brother of King Viserys , he is first seen casually sitting on the Iron Throne, backlit by a large window and figured as a shadow. His niece, Rhaenyra , questions him, and his answers reverberate through the hall in a deep echo.
And yet, all the signals that point toward his easily identifiable malevolence are again tempered by a moment with his niece. After the passing of Viserys’s wife and infant son, a reserved Daemon displays a moment of compassion. At the funeral, Daemon stands by Rhaenyra, offering her guidance and an empathetic ear. As she stands, overcome by conflicting emotions, Daemon reminds her to signal the dragon’s fire.
