Everyone Desires a Dragon on Home of the Dragon—Besides This Character

As Home of the Dragon has been showing us in recent episodes, dragonriding is not, in reality, a pursuit that solely highborn Targaryens can have interaction in. Dragons will truly play nice with smallfolk if they’ve the fitting mixture of blood and mojo.

However not all who qualify are fast to leap on the probability. Alyn of Hull, performed by Abubaker Salim, is stunned when he learns his youthful brother, Addam, has grow to be a dragonrider—one thing that’s decidedly not sufficient incentive for Alyn himself to present it a strive.

As we’ve gotten to know Alyn in season two, we’ve realized he’s targeted on one factor: his job, taking care of the ships within the Sea Snake’s fleet. That the Sea Snake, Lord Corlys Velaryon, is definitely Alyn and Addam’s father is an open secret—and it’s one thing the long-estranged members of the family have but to debate. The closest they’ve come is in the latest episode, “The Crimson Sowing,” when Corlys approaches Alyn on the docks, tells him the bombshell information about Addam, and strongly hints that perhaps Alyn may additionally be able to saddling up a dragon.

Addam shortly tells his Corlys he’d a lot somewhat follow the ocean, and it’s a rebuff with layers that go deeper than simply the truth that he’d somewhat not attempt to fly a fire-breathing beast. In a brand new interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Salim—a George R.R. Martin fan who says he’s thrilled to be a part of Home of the Dragon—elaborated on his character’s motivations in that second.

“I believe there are such a lot of similarities between Corlys and Alyn,” Salim defined. “I believe they’re each very conscious of it, too. And I believe Alyn hates it. He can see it, he can really feel it, he is aware of what Corlys is aware of, and that’s why their relationship may be very tough and strained. Addam nonetheless has this mentality of hope, although, and remains to be in that part. The older you get, the extra you grow to be a realist. There’s a way of actual reality to the concept that, even when Corlys named Alyn as considered one of his sons or Addam as considered one of his sons, we’ll by no means actually be considered one of his sons … so Alyn, I don’t assume he might settle for Corlys as his father.”

Salim additionally revealed that since being forged on Home of the Dragon, the number-one query he’s been requested is whether or not or not he’ll get to experience a dragon. “After which I’ve to be like, ‘Look, it’s difficult.’ On the similar time, there’s part of me that might have cherished to experience a dragon, however I’ve received my ship, man.”

Home of the Dragon‘s season two finale arrives Sunday, August 4 on HBO and Max.
