Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT With House of the Dragon split into two factions, it begs the question of which side the main Game of Thrones characters would choose. The prequel series' first season covered the build-up toward the Dance of the Dragons, a civil war between Targaryen factions represented by Rhaenyra and Aegon II, with Westeros divided on who they believe to be the rightful heir.
8 Daenerys Targaryen Sides with Rhaenyra Targaryen Close Daenerys Targaryen is sort of a chaotic, wildfire element to drop into another era, as in a Targaryen civil war, it's hard to imagine her not making a claim for herself as Queen. If she was forced to pick a side, however, her ideals certainly align with Rhaenyra, who seeks to break tradition by becoming the first Queen of the Seven Kingdoms.
6 Tyrion Lannister Sides with Aegon II Targaryen Close Tyrion Lannister is a toss-up because Game of Thrones essentially sees two sides of him: the complex version adapted from George R.R. Martin's books in the first few seasons and then the dulled-down version that goes to become loyal to Daenerys. It may come as a surprise to see Tyrion supporting Aegon, as many audiences consider him one of the morally just characters in the series.
In a sense, Cersei and Rhaenyra have some similarities that are hard to ignore, though Rhaenyra is painted in a much kinder light by the TV show. They're both prone to making rash decisions without thinking about the consequences and have a sense of entitlement due to the privileged positions in which they were born. But that doesn't mean Cersei would side with Rhaenyra out of any sense of sentimentality.
