King Aegon II Targaryen

Dragon: Sunfire

Aegon II is the oldest son of Alicent and the late King Viserys I. After Viserys’s death, he was crowned instead of Rhaenyra.

After the brutal murder of his son, Aegon recklessly goes to war. In Season 2, he is gravely burned by an attack from his own brother Aemond and barely survives.

Aemond Targaryen

Dragon: Vhagar

The one-eyed Aemond is the younger and extremely dangerous brother of Aegon. In Season 1, he caused the death of Lucerys, the younger son of Rhaenyra.

One season later, he exploited the battle of Harrenhal to deliberately burn his brother, on whose side he officially stands. In truth, he is after the throne himself. Since Aegon cannot rule due to his injuries, Aemond gladly assumes power.

Helaena Targaryen

Dragon: Dreamfire

Helaena is the only daughter of Alicent and Viserys. She is the sister and now also the wife of King Aegon II.

In Season 2, she suffers a terrible trauma when the murderers hired by Daemon force her to identify her young son Jaeherys and then behead him. She completely withdraws afterwards and refuses to fight in the war on her dragon Dreamfire.

Alicent Hightower

Alicent is essentially the key figure on the side of the Greens, even though she is not queen herself. She is the widow of King Viserys and Rhaenyra’s former best friend.

She pushed for the coronation of her own son Aegon, as she misinterpreted Viserys’s last words. However, in Season 2, she increasingly loses control and is ousted from the Small Council. Desperate, she travels to Dragonstone to make an arrangement with Rhaenyra to hand over the city to her.

Ser Otto Hightower

Ser Otto Hightower is the father of Alicent and was long the Hand of the King. After the murder of Aegon’s son, he suggests using the incident politically wisely. However, the reckless King Aegon wants to act faster, which leads him to fire him as Hand.

Otto leaves the capital and is briefly shown at the end of Season 2 in a prison cell at an unknown location.

Ser Criston Cole

Ser Criston is the Lord Commander of the Kingsguard. He initially had an affair with Rhaenyra and later with Alicent.

In Season 2, he rises to the new “Hand of the King” and leads the troops into war. He now marches towards the Riverlands. However, after the brutal battle of Harrenhal, he is severely psychologically scarred.

Larys Strong

Larys Strong, nicknamed Clubfoot, is the Master of Whisperers on the side of the Greens. He manipulates events from behind the scenes and serves Aegon II, but primarily pursues his own interests.

He persuades the crippled king to flee the capital, only to later bring him back as the rightful king to solidify his own power position.

Ormund Hightower

Ormund is an important lord on the side of the Greens.

Originally, Hobert Hightower, Otto’s elder brother, was the head of the house and lord of Oldtown. When Hobert dies, his eldest son becomes the successor: namely Ormund. He is thus the cousin of Alicent.

In the first two seasons, Ormund has not yet been seen. However, it is learned that he leads the massive army of the Hightowers north to aid the Greens.

Daeron Targaryen

Dragon: Tessarion

Daeron is the youngest son of Alicent and Viserys. He was not seen in the first two seasons but was introduced by name.

He lives in Oldtown, his family’s seat, and rides the blue dragon Tessarion. At the end of Season 2, he sets off with Ormund’s army.

Ser Gawan Hightower

Ser Gawan is Alicent’s brother and an arrogantly presenting knight. He joins Ser Criston Cole’s army and proves to be a capable soldier in battle.

Lord Jason Lannister

Jason Lannister is the lord of Casterly Rock and the Warden of the West. He supports the Greens with his army and marches with them into the Riverlands.

Ser Tyland Lannister

Ser Tyland is the twin brother of Jason. In Season 2, he travels to Essos to negotiate an alliance with the so-called Triarchy, an alliance of three free cities. To win their fleet, he must engage in a bizarre mud-wrestling match with Captain Sharako Lohar, which he wins.

Sharako Lohar

Sharako Lohar is an eccentric commander of the Triarchy and commands its massive war fleet. Through the alliance with Tyland Lannister, she now officially fights on the side of the Greens.

At the end of Season 2, she sails her ships towards Westeros.
