House of the Dragon S2E5 Power Rankings

Posted on July 21, 2024July 21, 2024 By Yaseen
1. Prince Consort Aemond Targaryen

Aemond solidifies his place at the top of the standings after officially being named Regent in Aegon’s stead.

2. Ser Criston Cole

Cole holds onto second place thanks to his close relationship with Aemond.

3. King Consort Daemon Targaryen

After a long absence, Daemon returns to the top five as he builds momentum in the Riverlands. He is the single biggest threat to the Greens at this point, and that threat will only grow as his army starts to take shape.

4. Lord Larys Strong

Aemond doesn’t trust Larys as much as Aegon did, but surely he understands his value. He stays in fourth until we figure out what direction Aemond takes.

5. Queen Alicent Hightower

Alicent made a desperate attempt at becoming Regent and was swiftly shunned by the Council in favor of Aemond. With Cole and Larys backing Aemond, she is left with no allied on the Council. If she can’t consolidate her relationship with Aemond, her influence will be in free fall.

6. Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen

Rhaenyra shoots up a few spots because it looks like she finally understands that her role as Queen primarily involves the delegation of tasks.

7. Lord Corlys Velaryon

As Hand of the Queen, Corlys gets an immediate bump. His importance to Rhaenyra can not be overstated.

8. Prince Jacaerys Velaryon

Entering the top ten for the first time is Jace, who continues to prove himself with every opportunity. His most recent treaty with the Freys expanded Rhaenyra’s options.

9. Lord Tyland Lannister

Aemond has ordered the Lannister forces to march towards the Riverlands with the intention of engaging Daemon in the near future. Tyland’s brother Jason might become more relevant soon, but for now, Tyland remains a key figure for the Greens.

10. Lord Simon Strong

Simon has proven invaluable to Daemon thus far, and as a result, he cracks the top ten for the first time.

11. Princess Baela Targaryen

Baela has picked up much of the mediation tasks that Rhaenys had assumed. She was instrumental in getting Jace and Corlys back on the same page with Rhaenyra in this episode.

12. Mysaria

While Baela has picked up Rhaenys’ mediation tasks, Mysaria has picked up her role as Rhaenyra’s confidant. Mysaria’s connections in King’s Landing are a big help as well.

13. Ser Gwayne Hightower

No appearance.

14. Ser Otto Hightower

No appearance.

15. Alys Rivers

Alys is a bit of a wild card right now. For whatever reason, Daemon feels comfortable confiding in her.

16. Lord Willem Blackwood

You could make a case for Lord Blackwood debuting in the top ten due to his importance to Daemon at the moment, but I have a feeling Daemon might give him up to appease the disgruntled Riverlords, so I’m holding off for now.

17. Lord Oscar Tully

With both sides fighting for the allegiances of the young Lord Tully, he’s poised to play an important role soon enough.

18. Lady Jeyne Arryn

Lady Jeyne Arryn is no pushover. She’s strong and intelligent, and she has 15,000 men that Rhaenyra needs. It looks like Rhaenyra will have to do more to secure her support.

19. Lord Amos Bracken

Daemon’s tactics to get the Brackens on his side were extremely questionable. They have proven themselves as stubborn fighters, so I can see them switching sides if the opportunity arose.

20. Lord Jasper Wylde

Jasper backed the right horse.

21. Princess Rhaena Targaryen

Rhaena’s been put into a tough situation by Rhaenyra and she will have to do wonders to keep Lady Jeyne Arryn happy.

22. King Aegon Targaryen II

Aegon may not be dead, but he is incapacitated so I don’t foresee him rising up the ranks anytime soon or maybe ever.

23. Queen Helaena Targaryen

No contribution.

24. Grand Maester Orwyle

Orwyle backed the wrong horse.

25. Lord Borros Baratheon

No appearance.

26. Ser Harrold Westerling

No appearance.

N/A. Joffrey Velaryon

Rhaenyra’s third son.

N/A. Prince Viserys Targaryen II

Daemon and Rhaenyra’s first son together.

N/A. Prince Aegon Targaryen III

Daemon and Rhaenyra’s second son together.

Dead

Princess Rhaenys Targaryen

Went down with Meleys after the dragon was killed by Vhagar at Rook’s Rest.

Ser Erryk Cargyll

Killed himself after killing his brother to save Rhaenyra.

Ser Arryk Cargyll

Died trying to assassinate Rhaenyra.

Prince Jaehaerys Targaryen II

Inadvertently decapitated as retaliation for Lucerys’ murder.

Lucerys Velaryon

Chomped out of the sky by Vhagar.

Lord Caswell

Hanged in the Red Keep per Otto’s orders for trying to warn Rhaenyra.

Lord Lyman Beesbury

Got his head smashed in by Criston Cole protesting Otto’s plan to install Aegon as King.

King Viserys Targaryen

Died from old age and a crippling chronic illness.

Laenor Velaryon

Faked his death and ran off with Qarl.

Ser Harwin Strong

Presumably burned alive by his own brother’s mercenaries.

Lord Lyonel Strong

Presumably burned alive by his own son’s mercenaries.

Lady Laena Velaryon

Suicide by dragonfire after pregnancy complications.

Grand Maester Mellos

Presumably died a rare peaceful death.

Joffrey Lonmouth

Literally got his head smashed in by Ser Criston Cole.

Lady Rhea Royce of the Vale

Paralyzed after falling off her horse then likely finished off by Daemon.

Craghas Drahar

Literally sliced in half by Daemon.

Prince Baelon Targaryen

Died a day after his birth. “Heir for a day.”

Queen Aemma Targaryen

Died during childbirth.

King Jaehaerys Targaryen

Died many years ago. Succeeded by King Viserys.
