The dragon rider at the end was Laenor Velaryon. His Dragon is named Sea smoke. Although he's a Velaryon, his mother is a Targaryen, which is why he can ride dragons. Edit: yeah, that is correct, he's Laena's brother.

[@juliansmoma]

He's Laena's brother.

[@klass_1221]

Cant wait to see Laena ride her dragon. The mighty "Vhagar"! Side note: the 3 eggs that eventually belong to Daenerys Stormborn Targaryen were from Vhagar.

[@holtimt]

Indeed, he's also been shown earlier in the episode (the one who called his uncle the "Master of complaints"). He's the elder child and only son of Lord Corlys Velaryon (Master of Ships) and Princess Rhaenys Targaryen (The Queen Who Never Was).

[@DIGMyers]

Best exchange and transition was from the Valeryon's talking battle strategy. The son Laenor actually coming up with a plan then defending Daemon saying he's been in the battle the whole time while calling out his uncle as the Master of Complaints and then Daemon's reaction to the letter with the voice over as he rows himself to the Crab Feeders choke hold. The end of this episode was just dope. Ending with a bloodied face Daemon similar to Rhaenyra 's return to camp all bloodied up.

Well, Laena was a really "young looking" 12yr old. So if he's even just a couple years older than her, that puts him in the 17-18 range.

[@itss_nattyj]

@@auntienancy7787 Corlys’ son Laenor is just a couple of years older than Rhaenyra, who is 17 yrs old in this episode. Laenor is about 19-20, while his sister Laena is 15 (by this episode).

@@itss_nattyj Oh right, I forgot she rode Vhagar at one point. I liked finally getting to see Sea Smoke i liked how he looked a lot like Drogon.

Daemon declined the reinforcements because he doesnt want the king to take credit for his victory. Daemon and the Valeryons have been fighting the Crabfeeders for 3 years and the king have been ignoring them.

If they keep using Caraxes, they would see him because the colour is red. So they used Seasmoke as a camouflage.

[@chanthant3110]

nice pointing out! that make sense

[@too2great8]

Caraxes wasn't used because everytime the Crab Feeder and his men saw the dragon, they'd run into the caves. Daemon rowed across the water to take them on to lure them out.

Seasmoke is 2x bigger than what i expecting.

[@mattyice9535]

Daemon going for a suicide mission and living is supposed to be one in a million. It's a legendary feat, that only a legendary warrior (with a lot of luck of course. Everyone get's lucky sometimes) could accomplish. And it gives him exactly what he wants: Recognition. He went out and was the key catalyst in ending a 3 year long guerrilla war.

[@claireglory]

daemon bested the best of the best and was knighted at the age of 16. he was the youngest ever and because of that the previous king gave him one of their ancestral valerian sword. his only known lost is with sir cole in the recent tournament.

[@robertwilson3866]

I thought it was a bit dumb. It was too unrealistic. If those men had attacked him all at once instead of one by one he would be dead

[@Kvmilla]

The dragon is called Seasmoke because of its colour of silver-grey. It can camouflage itself in sea smoke, clouds and anything the like. Probably why it took a while for the Crab-Feeder or anyone to spot it during the battle since the island was covered in sea smoke.

[@KabbalahSherry]

Yep 😏💯

I think it was more so it felt like a slap to the face that after 3 years of heavy fighting and doing all the heavy lifting now his brother wants to come and take credit. Also the fact that it was someone else running to the King for help behind his back

[@theonewhoismany8072]

@@frierennacht Do you blame him? They have fought a guerilla war for 3 whole years. Corlys asked Viserys for help multiple times and every time he was turned down.

The fuck was he when his brother and Corlys fought for 3 years straight without help.

[@GingerMT-o4m]

Youd say something so negative as to say, Damon was being egotistical, and that’s why he was reacting the way he was no it was hurt. It was frustration. It was not having anyone believe in his ability to fight enough to help from the start. And I will tell you viserys would not have the balls to have been the decoy that ended this battle Only Damon had that

[@Raskullbx]

The one riding the dragon is Corlys Valaryon and Rhynes Targaryen's eldest son 'Laenor Velaryon' his dragon is named 'Seasmoke'. His mother 'Rhynes Targaryen' was the 'Old King' Jaehaerys I grand daughter so half of his blood hails from the targaryens.

[@auntienancy7787]

Daemon and Corlys had been fighting for 3yrs. No way in the world Daemon was going to give the king the opportunity to sail in and say they needed his assistance to win...

[@richardjohnson9543]

I'd just like to know how the Crab Feeder and his men held their own for that long against someone who had a damn dragon, especially when they hid in caves where Daemon should've been able to have Caraxes blow some fire up in there and roast them all alive. Must be some deep caves

[@MrFredstt]

@@richardjohnson9543 It's a callback to how Dorne resisted being conquered. Using caves to evade the dragons instead of going out in the open to get roasted. They only came out sparsely for hit and run tactics

The Alicent in this timeline still loves Rhaenyra despite her position Otto pushed her into.

I would be pissed to get the kings letter too if I was Daemon. First you ignored the problem in the Step Stones letting it get that bad. Then you wouldn’t do anything about it cause you scared. Corlys had to go to Daemon for help. They been fighting for THREE YEARS and you only sent aid because you were talked in to it saying even though we were estranged I don’t want you to die and let’s secure a win for ‘US’. Us??? The crown wasn’t in a battle. Daemon and Corlys were and the Crown continued to ignore the problem. Kick rocks Viserys. Also folks blaming Daemon for this war but Corlys brought the Step Stones problem to Daemon because Viserys wouldn’t help. Let it get worse and worse. The moment a Velaryon ship was attacked he should have offered him aid but he didn’t. So how is this Daemon’s fault again? Those old biddies blaming Daemon but they should have e been blaming the king for doing nothing.

[@vanessalore9942]

Absolutely 💯 correct. Daemon didn’t have to help at all

That wasn't a Targaryen on the Dragon at the end. That was Corlys Valeryon's son, Laenor. He's the one that was suggested to the king to marry Rhaenyra by Lyonel Strong. The best decision at the moment for her imo. We'll see if she's down for that. I like Laenor, because he put his uncle in his place when he was whining and came up with the final strategy that won them the battle. He's also a dragon rider (clearly) like Rhaenyra through his mother Rhaenys. He's a cousin, but it's better than marring your little brother 😆

It was part of the plan. After being angered by the king, Daemon agreed to be the bait. Notice that Crabfeeder didn't send all his men out at once. He sent them in waves, constantly looking at the sky. He got cocky at the end and then the rest of the plan came into play- Corlyss' army attacked and Seasmoke burnt them. Seasmoke is the dragon of Laenor Valyrian, Corlyss son-- the guy standing up for Daemon when his uncle was trying to blame Daemon. Laenor is half Targaryrn thru his mother, Rhaenys. He can ride dragons and Seasmoke is his.

King Viserys is a good king. It's just easy to look at him as weak because ruling is very complicated. Daemon is a warrior and has a strong personality yes, but it doesn't mean that he'd have been an effective king, because ruling isn't all about strength. Just look at Daenerys' conquest across the Narrow Sea where she was bodying cities after cities freeing up slaves, but in the end slavery returned almost overnight and she couldn't control the last city that she conquered. And she had 3 fully grown dragons and 8k unsullied with her.

The whole reason that Damon went to the steps sans was to prove that he was a warrior and a fighter, add or above his brother who is the king because the king sent aid. Damon took that as a sign from his brother that his brother had no faith in Damon that he could handle it on his own. That’s why he took the aggression out on the messenger.

Daemon Targaryen known to history as “the terror and wonder of the age” Also Aegon II may be the most hated character in by the series end. Though I hope they make him a compelling character of why he would challenge his sister’s claim. This show will have so many good moments. I’m going to read Fire and Blood again

Why are you spoiling the show? Do you want to say you can read a book?

I just hope Prince Drahar doesn't have greyscale. It's contagious and Daemon was touching him with his bare hands.
