The first season of House of the Dragon saw battle lines drawn between the Greens—supporters of King Aegon II Targaryen (Tom Glynn-Carney)—and the Blacks, supporters of Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy). The conflict is set to intensify with the introduction of new characters like Addam of Hull.
Addam of Hull, a sailor residing in Driftmark and portrayed by Clinton Liberty, is poised to build a crucial connection through his brother Alyn, who saved the life of Lord Corlys Velaryon (Steve Toussaint) during the Stepstones conflict. This connection positions Addam as a potential pivotal player on the side of House Velaryon in support of Queen Rhaenyra.
It was messy as fuck. It wasn’t beautiful, and that was really fun to do,Olivia Cooke said about an unaired scene.
Addam Hull Takes Center Stage
The younger brother Alyn (Abubakar Salim) interacting with Corlys Velaryon indicates a development arc where familial ties will play a significant role. According to Olivia Cooke, this intricate portrayal adds depth.
I thought there’d be way more, and so I’m relieved that when it has been used for me, it’s showing Alicent being pleasured…which doesn’t feel gratuitous.
An Unexpected Twist for Velaryons
Addam and Alyn Hull’s origins are particularly intriguing. They are widely regarded to be the bastard sons of Lord Corlys Velaryon from his illegitimate union with their mother, Marilda of Hull. However, they are instead claimed as the sons of Ser Laenor Velaryon.
The Rise of a New Dragonrider
In George R.R. Martin’s book, Addam becomes a dragonrider and mounts Seasmoke after being recruited to fight for the Blacks in the civil war. This move underscores his strategic importance in the power struggle. Given that Addam appears as the younger sibling in the series, some changes might be on the horizon.
This alteration can significantly affect narrative arcs but offers an exciting twist by deviating from source material while maintaining distinctive character motivations.
