Warning: Contains spoilers for Fire and Blood, the book on which House of the Dragon is based.There are various theories about Daemon Targaryen’s fate House of the Dragonwith extensive connectivity Game of Thrones Vidya is he the king of the night? Is he a three-eyed crow? Is she going to live happily ever after with Nettles, the dragonseed character from the show cut? Has he been reincarnated as Hot Pie? Among them was fueled by not only a valid theory House of the Dragon Season 2 is over.
The finale, “The Queen Who Ever Was,” provided a strange season for the Rogue Prince (sorry, King… the wife), Daemon has visions of Daenerys Targaryen, a White Walker, and more. Much of this was to win her back to Rhaenyra Targaryen’s side and start her fight with Amond Targaryen, presumably. House of the Dragon Season 3. But there really may be more to his story than George RR Martin’s writing Fire and blood?
What happens to Daemon Targaryen is not 100% certain
Some believe he is still alive (although I am not sure).
In Fire and bloodDaemon finally faces his nephew, Emond, in one of the most epic battles of Dance of the Dragons. After exploring the riverlands for some time, Daemon and his dragon, Caraxes, clash with Amond and his own dragon, Vagar, in what is known as the Battle Above the God’s Eye. Taking place above God’s Eye Lake, which is next to Harrenhal, It’s a fiery, furious battle that ends when the daemon leaps up and drives his sword into Amond’s empty eye socket..
…not just a fan theory that [Daemon] Lives after the dance, but that’s what In-Universe claims and songs are about, too.
All four fighters crash into the lake and die, but the scrub, unlike the others, Demon’s body is not found. It doesn’t mean that he survived, the two giant dragons died due to the battle and collision in the water, but it does mean that it is possible. Not only are there fan theories that she’s still alive after the dance, but the universe claims and songs are about it too.
The most common of these is that she goes to live with Nettles, a dragonrider tied to Sheepstealer in the book.with whom Damon develops an extremely close bond. Nettles and the Sheepstealer survived the dance and their last known location was deep in the hills of the valley, and so the assumption goes that the Demon was with them. Again, this is not the most likely option, but also shows that Daemon may survive. And that’s an idea House of the Dragon If you decide to play with it – as it enjoys its own view of history – then it can go further.
The House of the Dragon revealed the connection between the Demon and the Three-Eyed Raven
Damon had a glimpse of the River Branden, but there was more to it than that
if House of the Dragon Decides to keep Damon alive, so could it make him the Three-Eyed Raven? It will be a huge twist and reveal a lot of what is known about it Game of Thrones Vidya, but the foundation for the show has been laid. Sightings of the daemon at Harrenhal usually came through a connection to the weirwood tree – its bed, apparently the paste Alice Rivers made, or the tree itself – which is how the Three-Eyed Raven works.
indeed, Daemons have strange dreams and visions, and this connection to the weirwood tree is no different with Bran StarkWho became the three-eyed raven Game of Thrones. House of the Dragon The connection to Raven is made more clear, however, by showing Branden Rivers in Daemon’s vision in the season 2 finale: he is the young Targaryen man with the raven-shaped, blood-colored birthmark on his cheek (and from which a raven flies the vision).
As a further link, Brandon also wields the Dark Sister, the Valyrian steel sword that belongs to the Daemon of the House of the Dragon.
Damon is directly related to Branden: He and Rainaira are his great-grandfathers. Their second son became King Viserys II Targaryen; His son became King Aegon IV Targaryen and Branden was one of his bastard children. As a further link, Brandon also wielded the Dark Sister, the Valyrian steel sword that belonged to Daemon. House of the Dragon. Both characters have their connection to magic – Damon with his vision, while Branden is accused of being a sorcerer, but it could be Greensight – and each lusts for power and manipulates political events.
Branden Rivers should appear eventually

It is unknown how Brynden himself became the Three-Eyed Raven, although one explanation has a clear beginning: he was later sent to the Wall, where he became Lord Commander. He disappeared during an expedition, and was never seen again, but at some point thereafter, became the Three-Eyed Raven (although his identity is another theory House of the Dragon The Season 2 finale revealed Branden in a vision).
Being the Demon Three-Eyed Raven makes more sense than him being the Night King
Night King Theory Debunked by Game of Thrones
The Demon being the Night King is a very popular theoryAnd it’s fun in a silly, tinfoil sense. There isn’t a huge amount of evidence for this, and much of what is there can easily be interpreted or waved around in a number of ways, including:
The problem, of course, is that in addition to the evidence being somewhat thin Game of Thrones Shows the origin story of the Night King. He was a man raised by the Children of the Forest, and it was a Daemon Targaryen thousands of years ago, never mind. Even allowing for a time loop, which itself greatly extends fidelity, person in Game of Thrones Nothing looked like a daemon, which needs to be explained.
On the contrary, there is A window of opportunity that allows Daemon to become the Three-Eyed Raven. Brynden may keep the title Game of Thrones aAnd then Bran passed it, but there were others. Time to talk about the Night King Game of Thrones In Season 8, Episode 2, Bran says:
“He’ll come for me. He’s tried many times before, with many Three-Eyed Ravens.”
The thing is, We know absolutely nothing about the other three-eyed ravensWhich means the idea that daemons become one cannot be ruled out. House of the Dragon The Season 2 finale also introduces the Green Men, an order that guards the weirwood trees of the Isle of Faces in the Riverlands and is loyal to the Children of the Forest and, presumably, the Three-Eyed Raven. Along with one of the Green Men of Harrenhal, it could set up a big role with the Daemon’s rescue from the God’s Eye and the Weirwood tree.
As opposed to being the Demon Night King, there’s enough wiggle room in canon, and of course we don’t know about the Three-Eyed Raven, for that to be true.
It’s certainly not a perfect theory by any means – for one, Daemon doesn’t have the first male blood we know of, whereas Branden was half-Blackwood (whose sigil literally has a weirwood tree). Second, apparently Alice showed him, rather, that he had powers similar to green vision. But, unlike Daemon being the Night King, there’s enough wiggle room in canon, and of course we don’t know about the Three-Eyed Raven, for it to be true.
Why House of the Dragon Season 3 Should Shut Down Demon Theories
Demon stories with a permanent death are even better
Theories about daemons are fun, but I don’t think this is a road House of the Dragon A few reasons must go down. first, If the daemon becomes the three-eyed raven, it begins to make the world seem smaller. It already does this a bit with its approach to Dany and the White Walkers, as it makes the franchise feel more involved and thus serves it. Game of Thrones More than just his own story, and that would go double with Daemon being the Three-Eyed Raven.
House of the Dragon
Season 3 is expected to be released on HBO and Max in 2026. The show is also confirmed to end with season 4.
Second, Demon’s ending is more appropriate if he dies. Despite some connections, there isn’t really enough of a stressor to make him become the Three-Eyed Raven and spend decades in a tree beyond the Wall a worthy retribution for his stressors. Instead, he leaves with an epic warrior’s death, going down with his dragon and taking his greatest rival with him, a much more satisfying conclusion for him. House of the Dragon story, and I really hope they confirm when the time comes.
