Aemond and Ser Christon Cole’s partnership takes a new turn

In the fourth episode, Aemond shares his plan to capture Rook’s Rest with the council and the King. Ser Criston Cole backs Aemond’s plan, quickly taking over strongholds. As the new Hand of the King, people start questioning Cole’s true loyalties. “We don’t know his motives or how far he’s willing to go—he’s already gone quite far,” says Mitchell.

In this episode of House of the Dragon, Aemond and Vhagar form a strong team. This is very different from the chaos in the season 1 finale, when Aemond lost control and caused disaster.

Vhagar, once the dragon of Rhaenys’ late daughter, Leena Velaryon, adds a personal touch to the conflict. According to Mitchell, Aemond was prepared to attack any rival dragon over Rook’s Rest.
