It is customary for most Westerosi rulers to use their subjects as a means of entertainment, and that mostly involves visiting cruelties upon them. Imagine the audience’s surprise, then, when Paddy Considine’s King Viserys in House of the Dragon proved a wholesome exception to this rule when the spinoff’s first episode premiered last week.
Unlike most monarchs that came before and after him, Viserys doesn’t much care about the seat or the power that comes with it. The character’s thoughts seem to be occupied with the vision of doom Aegon the Conqueror saw about the White Walkers many years ago, and beyond that, Viserys has a keen mind for history. The king’s passion is currently centered around creating the scale model of old Valyria, the ancient and destroyed kingdom whence the Targaryens hail.
