Aemond in a sentence

At the beginning of the season, Aegon says that Aemond is his closest confidant, and by episode four, Aemond has basically tried to kill him.

The show's decision to make this event a direct result of Aemond's scheming, rather than the apparent accident it was in the book, helps a lot with cementing Aemond as the new Big Bad for Rhaenyra's (Emma D'Arcy) team to go up against.

Not to mention, Vhagar is the most enormous dragon alive, which alone gives Aemond a massive boost over most characters.

A chain of horn blasts begin to sound as Meleys starts setting fire to Aegon’s army; deep in the trees we see… yep, that can only be the extremely large outline of Vhagar, with Aemond a tiny figure on his back.

Aemond (Ewan Mitchell) lost an eye but gained a dragon.

Aemond wasn't being evasive when he pointed out, "Someone will have to rule in his stead,"Alicent, somewhat worried about Aegon's life, was taken aback that the Small Council would pass her over for him.

And as a severely wounded Aegon II and his destroyed dragon crash and burn in the forest, Rhaenys pierces the smoke of the battlefield with Meleys, only to be caught off guard by Aemond and his massive mount.

Borros rushes Lucerys out of his castle but Aemond chases him on dragonback and causes the deaths of him and his dragon, Arrax.

But where is this place that Aemond decides to burn, and why does he choose that poor town of all places?

Daemon and Aemond are similar in a lot of ways, starting from the fact they are second sons who believed they would have been much better monarchs than their brothers.

First, Daemon and Aemond act as mirrors to each other.

House of the Dragon season 2 subtly confirms that one popular Aemond Targaryen theory is false after all following the aftermath of Blood & Cheese.

In a recent episode, Aemond embarassed his brother Aegon with his skills.

Is Aemond this week’s worst, and moreover, what did you think of this season’s first real dragon battle?

Keep your eye on Aemond Targaryen.

Larys proposes to Aegon in the season finale that he smuggle the king out of King's Landing before Aemond has a chance to commit fratricide.

Of course, one of those scenes is the confrontation that happens between Rhaenyra and Alicent at Driftmark, after the fight between their children that leads to Aemond losing his eye.

The show therefore chooses to depict the more intimate struggles of Aemond processing his own actions, rather than any potential blow to his social status.

This is all the signal Daemon needs to sneak into King's Landing and hire a ratcatcher () and one of his old Goldcloaks (), a member of the City Watch, to assassinate Aemond.

Truly, Otto's only allies in King's Landing right now are his daughter Alicent and the new King Regent Aemond, who wants Otto to return as Hand.
