The Targaryen family tree is as twisted and complex as their fire-breathing dragons. With all the chaos unfolding in House of the Dragon, fans have been debating one burning question:

👉 What number sibling is Daeron Targaryen?

We all know that Aegon II is the eldest, followed by Aemond—but what about Helaena and Daeron? Who comes next? And why hasn’t Daeron even been mentioned in the show yet?

Let’s break it down!

🔥 The Targaryen Sibling Order: Who Comes First?

According to George R.R. Martin’s lore, Alicent Hightower and King Viserys had four children together. Their birth order is:

1️⃣ Aegon II Targaryen – The eldest son and heir to the throne (by Alicent’s standards, at least).
2️⃣ Helaena Targaryen – The only daughter, known for her prophetic dreams and marriage to Aegon (yep, classic Targaryen tradition).
3️⃣ Aemond Targaryen – The most fearsome of the brothers, a ruthless warrior who rides Vhagar, the largest dragon alive.
4️⃣ Daeron Targaryen – The youngest son, who is completely missing from the show (so far).

So, based on the official timeline, Helaena comes before Aemond, and Daeron is the youngest sibling.

👀 Why Is Daeron Missing From House of the Dragon?

If you’ve watched Season 1 of House of the Dragon, you might be thinking:

🤔 “Wait… Daeron? Who?”

That’s because he hasn’t appeared at all—not even in passing dialogue! But don’t worry, he does exist in the show’s canon. In fact, George R.R. Martin himself confirmed it:

💬 “Yes, Alicent and Viserys had four children. Daeron is alive and well… he’s just in Oldtown.”

In the books, Daeron was sent to Oldtown as a child to serve as a squire under House Hightower. So, while his older siblings are causing chaos in King’s Landing, he’s off-screen, likely training for battle.

🐉 Why Daeron Targaryen Could Be a Game-Changer in Season 2 & Beyond

If the show finally introduces Daeron, expect some MAJOR things:

🔥 He rides the dragon Tessarion, a stunning blue-scaled beast known as the Blue Queen.
🔥 He’s described as brave, charismatic, and honorable—a stark contrast to Aegon and Aemond’s reckless behavior.
🔥 He plays a critical role in the upcoming Targaryen civil war (The Dance of the Dragons).

In Fire & Blood, Daeron proves himself in battle, earning the respect of even his enemies. Could he be the “good” Targaryen among the greens?

⚔️ The Big Takeaway: The Targaryen Sibling Order, Confirmed!

📌 1st – Aegon II (the drunk, reluctant king)
📌 2nd – Helaena (the dreamer, Aegon’s wife)
📌 3rd – Aemond (the one-eyed warrior)
📌 4th – Daeron (the missing but important youngest son)

With Season 2 of House of the Dragon on the horizon, fans are eagerly waiting to see if Daeron finally makes his long-awaited debut.
