So much of Team Black’s House of the Dragon season two plotline revolved around a mathematical dilemma. There were simply more dragons than there were loyal Targaryens to ride them. After some trial and error, however, three “Dragonseeds” emerged, men who had Targaryen blood but weren’t officially part of the noble house: Hugh Hammer (Kieran Bew), Ulf White (Tom Bennett), and Addam of Hull (Clinton Liberty). Season three of House of the Dragon picks up exactly where season two left off, so the Dragonseeds are still getting a feel for their new roles in Westeros. But it’s clear that all three are of crucial importance to the Dance of the Dragons; the fact that Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy) has more dragons in her army gives Team Black a huge advantage over Team Green. While George R.R. Martin fans who’ve read Fire & Blood, the source material for House of the Dragon, have an idea of what lies ahead for Hugh, Ulf, and Addam, people who are just enjoying the story on screen are still getting to know the trio. At a recent House of the Dragon press day, io9 asked Bew, White, and Liberty what it’s like tackling characters with so much lore and expectations attached to them—without divulging any spoilers, of course.
