In the first episode of “ House of the Dragon, ” we're introduced to a disingenuous Prince, who had a menacing address but also had this vulnerable side that made him do effects that weren't appreciated by the other lords. During the term of the first three episodes of “ House of the Dragon, ” we see him sluggishly transubstantiating into a savage whipper. Daemon always had the instincts and sensibilities of a conqueror, but the conduct of others also backed his transformation.
Prince Daemon Targaryen had presumed the fact that he'd be named the heir at law to the Iron Throne. Viserys Targaryen had always made it a point that he kept him down from King’s wharf. He was made the commander of the City Watch not because his King allowed him to be fit for the position, but because he didn’t want him to stay on King’s wharf and intrude in pivotal matters. Viserys and Daemon had an unsaid affection for each other. Viserys took the side of his family a lot of times in front of the councilmen who tried to inhibit him from trusting his youngish family way too much. The metamorphosis of the character of Daemon Targaryen is touched off only because Viserys demanded conviction, didn’t have faith in his sensibilities and was fluently told by others. Viserys didn’t authorize his ways and means, but Daemon always enjoyed the trust of his family. Viserys noway despised him in the morning. It was only after he was misled by the likes of Otto Hightower and others, that he started believing that perhaps Daemon didn't hold him in reverence.
Otto Hightower, the King’s hand, didn’t like Daemon. He knew that Daemon was a loose cannon and someone who couldn’t be told or controlled. It was important for Otto that his position wasn't taken over by Daemon. He wanted to be the sole person who could impact the King. Otto made sure that indeed Lord Corlys and King Viserys didn't get veritably near. He played the right moves and always kept Corlys at a hand’s distance from the King. When Corlys proposed to get his son, Laena Velaryon, married to the King, Otto made sure that he didn’t let it be. Daemon handed Otto the perfect opportunity to relieve his authority. He spoke ill of the King’s departed son, Baelon, while he was still mourning his loss. Otto subsidized the situation and blackened Daemon in front of the King. Viserys banished Daemon and asked him to leave for Runestone. Daemon had a lot of grievances against his family too, but before being banished, he'd noway spoken about it. He'd allowed
that eventually, Viserys would realize what his youngish family merited. But that didn’t be. Otto Hightower was suitable to win the trust of Viserys Targaryen. Daemon expressed his prospects and solicitations. He sustained for that day to come when Viserys would name him the Hand of the King. Daemon veritably well knew that the Lords sitting in the council just wanted to prey upon the fragile King. He knew that Otto Hightower was a shrewd man who was only looking out for himself and his family. Daemon just wanted to save the King from his insufficiency and vulnerabilities. But Viserys wasn't ready to hear the brutal verity. He wasn't ready to accept the fact that he could be fluently played by others. Pride came in between the sisters, and it gave influence to the others, who just wanted to produce a rift between the two.
It was always said that the blood of the dragon runs thick, and Daemon was astounded that Viserys, on the negative, chose to believe others rather than his family. Daemon, at that moment, pledged in a silent vehemence to not have any kind of association with Viserys. He was a Targaryen too and didn’t like the way he was manhandled and disrespected. Daemon was disappointed, but still, he wasn't vengeful. When he meets Rhaenyra at Dragonstone, we see that he still has a lot of affection for his bastard, and reverence for his king. perhaps he was disappointed too, that the King chose to shoot Otto rather than coming himself to defy his family. Otto presumably knew the King too well, and he'd previsioned that if the King went, also there was a possibility that he might attune with Daemon. When Daemon meets Lord Corlys, who asks him to help him pay envelope war against Craghas Crabfeeder, we further get substantiation of the fact that he still held his family in high regard. He tells Lord Corlys that just because he had some misconstructions with his family didn’t mean that others could take advantage of it to fulfill their dockets. He also tells him that he didn’t appreciate Lord Corlys speaking ill of Viserys. But Viserys noway showed that kind of geste. He was so involved in his affairs that he forgot that he had a family who was fighting a war. Viserys noway offered any help to the alliance of Daemon and Lord Corlys in the battle of Stepstones. This geste deeply hurts Daemon. He was angry in his bones. He'd so important to say, but nothing was there to hear him out. He wanted to defy Viserys and tell him that he was such a naive person to trust others further than his blood. He wanted to roar at the top of his voice and tell his elder family that the others were just making a fool out of him and given an opportunity, would eat him alive for their gains. The deep-confirmed resentment made the dormant instincts of a heathen suddenly come to life, and Daemon, like his ancestor, Aegon the whipper, came into a feral despoiler. He'd chosen violence and wantonness over nobility and magnanimity. He'd patiently awaited his turn, but now he wanted to catch what was his. He'd been scouted, disrespected, and neglected for a veritably long time. He'd so important wrathfulness within him that he didn’t watch whether he lived or failed. He was ready to embrace death, but he didn’t want to take any kind of backing from his family. He was eager to undermine his authority and prove that he didn’t need his charity. He didn’t know if he'd ever attuned with his family shortly, but he knew that his core had changed. He wasn't the same person that he was three times agone, before the launch of the battle.
Daemon goes inside the cave of the Crabfeeder as a Targaryen Prince but comes out as a whipper. He'd disassociated the body of the leader of the Triarchy ruthlessly. His face was smeared in blood. Blood that was supposed to run thick in the family. He stood in the godforsaken land, amidst a pile of dead bodies, with his Valyrian brand, Dark Sister, in his hand. He didn’t speak a word in the third episode of “ House of the Dragon, ” but the inhumanity and ferocity on his face told us that he'd taken the shape and form of a ruthless whipper.
