Carbon Costume

In House of the Dragon, Prince Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith) is brother to King Viserys I. He’s equally skilled as a dragonrider — mounting the dragon Caraxes — and as a warrior — wielding the Valerian steel sword Dark Sister. He’s also gifted in the art of instigation. He later weds his niece, Queen Rhaenyra (Just Targaryen Things). Easily convert this Daemon costume to Aemond’s by adding an eye patch.

In House of the Dragon, Rhaenyra Targaryen (young Rhaenyra played by Milly Alock, older by Emma D’Arcy) is the first-born child of King Viserys I, who named her heir to the Iron Throne. After the king’s death, her claim is challenged by her half-brother Aegon II however, with the backing of his mother Alicent and grandfather Otto Hightower.

In the Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon, Queen Alicent Hightower (played by Olivia Cooke and Emily Carey) is the wife of King Viserys I, daughter of the Hand of the King Ser Otto Hightower, and mother to Aegon, Aemond, and Helaena. She is the figurehead of “Team Green” when it comes to competing claims to the throne. After a long day of parenting and diplomacy, Alicent has been known to kick off her shoes and put up her feet.

In the Game of Thrones prequel series House of the Dragon, Prince Aemond Targaryen (Ewan Mitchell) is the second son of King Viserys I and his second wife, Queen Alicent Hightower. He’s a dragon rider and a fierce, disciplined swordsman, in sharp contrast to his lazy and gluttonous older brother Aegon. He lost his eye at the age of 10, when he got into a vicious fight with his similarly aged nephew Lucerys Velaryon.

Izzy Hands (Con O’Neill) is a character in HBO Max’s Our Flag Means Death. He is the loyal right hand man of Blackbeard with his two other crew members, Fang and Ivan. Bitter and tough, he doesn’t understand Ed’s infatuation with the Gentleman Pirate. When he’s not resentfully grumbling about Stede, he’s sneaking around or barking orders. He’s bested by Stede in a sword fight, which gets him kicked off the Revenge.

Frenchie is a character in the HBO Max series, Our Flag Means Death. He is a crew member aboard The Revenge, who often sings of their pirate adventures. He plays the lute to accompany his improvised sea shanties. He has also written fanfiction about Blackbeard, which he admits in his presence. Joel Fry portrays this role.

Captain Nigel Badminton (Rory Kinnear) is a character in the HBO Max series, Our Flag Means Death. He is a British Naval officer who encounters Stede Bonnet aboard his ship, The Revenge. As children, Nigel teased Stede for being a cowardly rich boy. As an adult, he continues his bullying, for he mocks Stede’s lavish lifestyle and delusion of piratehood. However, Stede accidentally assists in his death, when he knocks Nigel unconscious, causing him to fall on his sword and stab himself in the eye. From then on, he appears as a hallucination, taunting Stede in his moments of doubt. He has a twin brother named Chauncey Badminton, who searches for his mysteriously absent sibling.

Lucius (Nathan Foad) is a character in the HBO Max series, Our Flag Means Death. He acts as the scribe aboard The Revenge, tasked with keeping a record of their adventures. Aside from Stede, he is the only other one who can read and write. But their similarity extends in the sense that neither of them are cut out for piracy, as Lucius is equally as frightened and revolted by violence and bloodshed. He also has an affinity for sketching anatomy. He pursues a romantic relationship with fellow crewmember, Black Pete. You might not expect that is Lucius is quite sneaky, such as when he steals Jim’s knife from Spanish Jackie.
