HOUSE OF THE DRAGON - CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS

STARRING:

Paddy Considine as King Viserys Targaryen, chosen by the lords of Westeros to succeed the Old King, Jaehaerys Targaryen, at the Great Council at Harrenhal. A warm, kind, and decent man, Viserys only wishes to carry forward his grandfather’s legacy. But good men do not necessarily make for great kings.

Matt Smith as Prince Daemon Targaryen, younger brother to King Viserys and heir to the throne. A peerless warrior and a dragonrider, Daemon possesses the true blood of the dragon. But it is said that whenever a Targaryen is born, the gods toss a coin in the air…

Olivia Cooke as Alicent Hightower, the daughter of Otto Hightower, the Hand of the King, and the most comely woman in the Seven Kingdoms. She was raised in the Red Keep, close to the king and his innermost circle; she possesses both a courtly grace and a keen political acumen.

Emma D’Arcy as Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, the king’s first-born child, she is of pure Valyrian blood, and she is a dragonrider. Many would say that Rhaenyra was born with everything… but she was not born a man.

Steve Toussaint as Lord Corlys Velaryon, “The Sea Snake.” Lord of House Velaryon, a Valyrian bloodline as old as House Targaryen. As “The Sea Snake,” the most famed nautical adventurer in the history of Westeros, Lord Corlys built his house into a powerful seat that is even richer than the Lannisters and that claims the largest navy in the world.

Eve Best as Princess Rhaenys Targaryen, a dragonrider and wife to Lord Corlys Velaryon, “The Queen Who Never Was” was passed over as heir to the throne at the Great Council because the realm favoured her cousin, Viserys, simply for being male.

Fabien Frankel as Ser Criston Cole, of Dornish descent, the common-born son of the steward to the Lord of Blackhaven. Cole has no claim to land or titles; all he has to his name is his honour and his preternatural skill with a sword.

Sonoya Mizuno as Mysaria, who came to Westeros with nothing, sold more times than she can recall. She could have wilted… but instead she rose to become the most trusted – and most unlikely – ally of Prince Daemon Targaryen, the heir to the throne.

Rhys Ifans as Otto Hightower. The Hand of the King, Ser Otto loyally and faithfully serves both his king and his realm. As the Hand sees it, the greatest threat to the realm is the king’s brother, Daemon, and his position as heir to the throne.

THE DRAGONS ARE HERE…

DRAGONS DESCEND UPON MELBOURNE CIRCLING A GIANT DRAGON EGG ON THE EVE OF HOUSE OF THE DRAGON

  • Animal expert and wildlife relocator, Matt Wright, has discovered a giant dragon egg along the Great Ocean Road and has transported it to Federation Square for fans to see to believe

  • Dragons have arrived - sightings have been confirmed across Melbourne, as dragons keep a close eye on the precious egg



In the lead up to House of the Dragon landing on BINGE, dragons have descended on Melbourne, Victoria, with sightings reported across the state.

In the early hours of yesterday morning, Anglesea residents were left in wonder after sighting a mysterious giant dragon egg washed up on the Great Ocean Road beach.

After years of working with scientists and wildlife, Aussie animal expert and wildlife relocator, Matt Wright, was called in to head to Anglesea Beach to inspect the giant 4-metre by 2-metre egg - confirming that dragons have, in-fact, landed on Australian soil.

With the help of a forklift and twelve tonne tilt tray truck, Wright has transported the dragon egg to Melbourne where it is being housed at Federation Square for Melbourians to come and see for themself. The arrival of the giant egg has seen a flight of dragons, looming over Victoria’s capital city as it keeps a watchful eye over the precious egg.

Those who are game enough - can see the egg at Federation Square at 10:00 AM today, until 7pm. It will again be open to the public tomorrow 8:00 AM - 7:00 PM (Saturday 20 August).

When visiting the egg, you might see the eye of a dragon keeping a vigilant watch over the egg youngling, along with silhouettes of a flight of dragons over buildings across the city. Keep an ear out for the calls and sounds of dragons too.

Fans of House of The Dragon fans are encouraged to come, witness, listen and experience the dragons, before they’re gone forever. But only at your own risk.

Alison Hurbert-Burns, BINGE Executive Director and House of The Dragon mega fan, said: “It’s been three long years since the Game of Thrones finale went to air and fans have been eagerly awaiting the prequel set 200 years prior. Now the wait is over with the year’s biggest show - House of the Dragon - only days away from launch, streaming on BINGE from Monday 22 august at 11am AEST - same time as the U.S.”

“The arrival of the giant dragon egg on Anglesea Beach is a timely reminder for Aussie fans that the dragon takeover has begun! We invite all Melbourians to come and witness the egg for themself before jumping onto BINGE this coming Monday to watch the first episode of House of The Dragon”.

Matt Wright, animal expert and wildlife relocator, said: “I had to double take when I first saw the egg, and I didn’t know if my eyes were playing tricks on me. After looking closely at it, I realized what it actually was and had it transported to Melbourne for House of the Dragon fans to see to believe.”

Fans who come down to Federation Square will also be able to access the House of the Dragon: DracARys app - the newly released House of the Dragon augmented reality app, where fans can hatch their very own personalised virtual dragon egg, and raise their very own pet dragon at home, having its own colours, looks and personality. The DracARys app is available to download in the Apple and Google Play app stores.
