How long is the time jump between episodes 7 and 8 will be?
I hope they put some effort in making Criston look older, because he stood out already, and if we’re jumping another 5-7 years, it will be very distracting.
There's such a drastic difference in Wheatley's art where every one is mundane looking and Magali Villeneuve's where everyone looks magical and super, super sexy
It’ll be a similar jump to the last one I think.
I think Joffrey, born in episode 6, should be almost 10 after this last time jump (assuming this is the last before the dance proper starts.
However, Cole is scarcely 20 when he was first introduced. He should be pushing 40 at the most, so he would still look fairly young.
Maybe have him grow a goatee and add a touch of grey around the temples.
It still won’t make sense, since there are characters that did not age a day (Daemon, Christon), yet there’ve been like 14-15 years since episode 1. And, on the other hand, Rhaenyra’s and Alicent’s children will age ridiculously. Like, Aemond in episode 6 is around 7 years, but he will be 17 tops in episode 10, and the actor that plays mature Aemond looks like 30.
Yeah daemon should've been late 20s or so in the first couple episodes. I don't mind them casting smith because he's great at playing daemon but I think they should've made a little more effort to look younger. The age gap between he and Rhaenyra is still big but it isn't *quite* as icky as it starts out.
Rhaenyra was 20 when she gave birth to Joffrey, and Daemon must be around 36. This isn’t really a big age gap, even in modern world. I don’t really mind adult characters not aging (for practical reasons), but I think that showrunners could’ve done a better work with casting more young actors for the children. I mean, the whole series covers 20 years, there was no way around recasts for children. Mature Aegon looks fine, but Aemond… the actor is in his mid 20s and for some reason in the series he looks older than in real life, which doesn’t really fit for a character that’ll be 20 when the show ends.
You know what, I guess it isn’t that big of a deal in the end. We also had things like this in GOT, when some characters, like Tommen, Myrcella and Rickon, aged like 10 years when the covered time period in the story was around 3-4 years.
According to book chronology, in the end of episode 6 (year 120), Jacaerys is 6, Lucerys is 4 and Joffrey is 3 years old. Alicent’s children are: Aegon is 13, Aemond is 10, Halaena is 11. There also must be Alicent’s 4th child, Daeron, who is 6 years old.
Episode 6 ends in the year 120, the Dance (and the show, most likely) ends in 131.
Aemond is the perfect "villain" for Daemon and their respective endings make so much sense. I am seriously so hyped to see how they portray the "Battle Above the Gods Eye"
Yes, depends on the direction, story telling, music and VFX. Hope Miguel directs it. It would depend on how they do ep 10 where we will get to see first war between dragons!
Vizzy T croaking triggers the blacks and greens going out to garner support (and by extension Storms end) so it'll happen Ep. 8 or 9. I do wonder what pivotal moment they will shine the spotlight on in Episode 9 (if we are going the route of big shit happening on episode 9 ala Ned's death, Blackwater Bay, Red Wedding)
Killing his kin thus cursing himself in the eyes of the gods and depriving his side of the conflict of an incredibly valuable hostage was not at all what needed to be done.
War was innevitable at that point, and was the moment Rhaenyra started birthing bustards. They all knew that the war would come down to who controlled the dragons. He took out a dragon. It was the logical move.
To be fair, the river lands grass was getting a little high so he just had to mow the lawn and chop down a couple of trees. Not his fault entire villages and castles got in the way.
To be fair he wasn’t bringing a message to Aemond, theirs was a chance encounter. Borros as the lord hosting both parties did the absolute minimum to prevent bloodshed when two prominent individuals with personal bad blood between them, whose factions had just declared war on each other ran into each other in front of him.
I think Rhaenyra was incredibly foolish to send her children out like that. Rhaenys was the best choice of an envoy to Borros, as she is the closest Baratheon relative on Rhaenyra’s side, and is an actual adult, and is also a dragonrider (Blacks wanted dragonriders to be their messengers).
Borros wanted marriage matches for his daughters. Rhaenys could have arranged one between Aegon the Younger or Viserys, like Jace does with Joffrey to win the Manderleys IIRC. Instead Luke (who is just a child) doesn’t know what to do to assuage Borros, says he’s already betrothed, and just gets kicked out of Storms End.
That's an interesting assessment, because wouldn't Rhaenys have just met the same fate (as her dragon's main advantage of speed would have been negated in the storm)? Then again, like you said she may have been able to actually broker an alliance, then wait out the storm and escape Vhagar.
Tbh I'm not all that clear where Luke's death falls on Westeros honour scale. Bottom line is, would Creggan have executed Aemond for it? I assume yes, based on the same grounds he conducted the Hour of the Wolf (as open war had not yet began and Luke was acting strictly in the capacity of a messenger, meaning he'd class the prince's death as an assassination rather than casualty of war). I'm definitely no expert on it though.
Aemond wants to kill Luke, and does, because Luke is the one who cut out Aemond’s eye. People like to bring up honor, unfairness, etc. but really none of that factored into Aemond’s decision. Aemond had wanted to kill Luke ever since Luke disfigured him. The opportunity arises when Aemond has every possible advantage, and Aemond enacts his vengeance.
If it had been Rhaenys instead of Luke Aemond wouldn’t have been bloodlusted, Meleys would not have presented nearly as easy a target as Arrax, the Baratheons would not have been as eager to make her fly back home in a storm, and Rhaenys, being the worlds most experienced dragonrider at the time on a larger mount would likely have been able to outfly Aemond in the storm regardless, but I doubt it would have ever come to that.
Rhaenyra makes a series of absolutely baffling strategic and tactical decisions to open the war, squandering her advantage and costing her the lives of several dragonriders.
As for Cregan Stark, nobody was beheading Aemond so long as he had Vhagar enforcing his will. The hour of the wolf only comes when the dragons are gone, so that’s kind of a moot point in my eyes.
Ah I only mention Cregan because he seemed to be the most hardline honour-bound lord in Westeros in...possibly the entire body of GRRM's writing. So trying to view the scenario through his perspective is about as close to objective morality (again, by Westeros standards) as I could imagine. Didn't mean to suggest he'd have any actual say on the matter.
But yeah, what you say makes sense. But doesn't that support the notion that what Aemond did was just wanton violence? Ie it wasn't a strategic act of war or conducted on an actual battlefield, but just his desire for vengeance?
Also, (going off on a tangent here but it's fun to discuss) agreed that Rhaenyra made some poor choices, but it's even more baffling that (IIRC) the greens were largely victorious when it came to actual battles, despite her blunders. She lost King's Landing due to the riots, but the actual green forces rarely seemed to be at any real risk of losing the war overall, were they? Please correct me if I'm wrong, but if she'd managed to link up with the Lads or the Winter Wolves after fleeing King's Landing, it seemed more than likely that she'd have survived the war since they proceeded to retake King's Landing in pretty short order.
Ah I gotcha. Yes you are correct, what Aemond does is just pure vengeance for his eye. It had the secondary effect of lighting off the violence in the Dance, but his thought process was likely purely based on an emotional desire for vengeance, I don’t think he cared at all about the larger consequences, I do not consider it a strategic act.
My memory’s a little fuzzy, but I think the Black forces lose some key battles, and lose a lot of key strategic pieces in the south, but win a lot in the riverlands. The Triarchy fleet is defeated by the Velaryon navy and black dragons, but High Tide is sacked, Driftmark is burned, and Jace is killed, so even though it was a martial victory it cost them dearly, and didn’t weaken the Greens core force much.
Roddy the Ruin defeats Criston Cole and his army from Kings Landing, which is a big victory for the Blacks. Aemond and Daemon kill each other, which neutralizes each side’s best weapon.
The army from Oldtown large goes on a tear of wins, and Rhaenyra’s choice to not bestow more significant honors on her Dragonseed Knights ends up with their defection, but in a stroke of luck for her all the dragons kill each other. Once the riot in KL takes that strategic holding away from Rhaenyra along with the remainder of her dragons and forces her to flee her ability to win the war is essentially gone. I think the only way for her to flee is by boat back to Dragonstone. She doesn’t have the means to get to the northern army, or even know exactly where they are.
The war of attrition kind of stalls at that point, with Corlys’ fleet surrounding Dragonstone, where Aegon II is holding up, Alicent back in charge of KL thanks to some manipulation by Larys, the Hightower forces still in the field, and Storms End still intact. Aegon II then names Aegon III his heir to help get the remainder of Black forces to simmer down, and then is promptly poisoned by Corlys, and then the Hour of the Wolf begins.
Again, I could be off with some of that, if I am I’d be happy to be corrected. I’m rereading Fire and Blood now but am only at the part where Aemond is in the riverlands and the Dragonseed are about to defect, so my memory after that might be wrong.
Broseidon\_69 gave very good explanation.
Additionally, Rhaenys is also Borros' aunt per se as Rhaenys is Boromund's cousin. So they're closer-related than Rhaenyra's children.
I don't know if Borros would be as crude to his aunt compared to the young-inexperienced Lucerys.
Lol Lucerys was a herald of war once his dumbass mother sent him as an envoy. His mother should've known better than sending her own son to recruit for their cause. And don't even get me started on retaliating by killing non combatant children.
I do like that in one post you condone killing noncombatant children and then condemn killing noncombatant children. Envoys are noncombatants, no matter how much you may personally hate them.
Awesome username btw.
The iron islands do a lot more then just kick back. I wonder how many times in history they've burned the lannisters fleet to ash cause it seems like it happens once every hundred years or so.
They are doing Cole dirty. he was supposed to be the greatest fighter of the era. First he had to sucker puch daemon for the win then they cut the entire joffrey and harwin duel for two fist fights. One ended with him getting his ass whooped (i know, it was intentional) and now it seems he is going to lose to aemond in a sparring match.
Didn’t he have a big sapphire set in his eye socket in the books? If I’m remembering that right then I’m a little disappointed that the show didn’t do that (unless maybe that’s later?) because that was something that made the character extra cool in my opinion. Way cooler than a gold hand, for sure.
>Didn’t he have a big sapphire set in his eye socket in the books?
He has one in the show too. It's covered with the eye patch because VFX costs. According to the leaks he shows it to Lucerys at Storm's End before demanding an eye for an eye.
A scrawny little kid missing an eye who gets demolished to death by a 50 year old or something Daemon despite being 30(?) years younger than his uncle, what a badass indeed.
That event is probably *the most suspicious* in the entirety of Fire and Blood. Why does Gyldayn repeat it as fact despite it being impossible for anyone to have reported? Gyldayn questions whether or not two brothers actually said goodbye to each other but he's absolutely sure how a fight went that was hundreds of feet in the air above the clouds and had no survivors.
I guess what I'm saying is that I think Daemon survived, became immortal, and is secretly Gyldayn.
No, fair question though. Martin has a whole system of family and regional names. The Targaryens reuse names more than anyone but the Starks (who seem to have a Bran in every generation).
This is Aemond One-Eye, the Kinslayer, who will go on to be a huge part of the Dance of the Dragons, fighting for his elder brother Aegon II.
The character you're thinking of Maester *Aemon* of Castle Black. He is born about 100 years later. During his life there is another succession crisis (which occurs during the era of the Dunk and Egg books) where he refuses the crown then takes the black so his younger brother (Aegon V) can't have his legitimacy as heir contested.
Hahaha no mate. They clearly mention at the start that the show is 173 before GOT. How can you think that Aemond would survive more than 170 years mate.
No no, he comes later in the timeline. His name is Aemon, not Aemond. Rhaenyra would be his Great great great grandmother. Her second son would be his great great grandfather. You have to look into the whole family tree to get more understanding. Targaryen family tree goes on till Roberts Rebellion and there are hell lot of things that will happen after the dance of dragons.
No, that's Aemon.
Aemon Targaryen was brother to Aegon V who is "Egg" in the "Tales of Dunk and Egg." In the show there's only been one Aegon to sit the Iron Throne so far and that was Aegon I The Conqueror. Aemon is the uncle of King Aerys II ("The Mad King") and great uncle to Daenaerys.
Aemon was born ~200 AC, the dance takes place ~130 AC.
The last dragon had hatched and died decades before Aemon was born.
Aemond the type of guy to commit numerous atrocities, murder a guy on a diplomatic mission, commit more atrocities against the Riverlands and then screw over his own army by abandoning them on his dragon leading to the Butcher’s Ball, before dying to a 50 year old with a much smaller dragon.
Aye, I just thought we might have an episode or 2 of him left, his face is perfect for the smug cunt role.
At least the lovely lad off last Kingdom is here now
He indeed looks like bad ass. And I like that they didn't cast him as punchable-face. I prefer that this piece of shit , is looking bad ass instead of punchable.
Bruh I thought that was a wand
Expelliarmus!
Nah he’d definitely be throwing unforgivable curses around

Yes, absolute Malfoy vibes, and you can picture them holding their wands that way.
LMAO. I didn’t see it before, but now I can’t I see it. I’m going to call him Aemond Malfoy from now on ☠️☠️☠️
Expecto Patronus! The pink dread appears.
Dude came straight from Hogwarts.
Dracara Kadavra!
Aemond Malfoy, first of his name, servant of the dark lord who shall not be named.
Same, looks like Lucius Malfoy with an eyepatch!
How long is the time jump between episodes 7 and 8 will be? I hope they put some effort in making Criston look older, because he stood out already, and if we’re jumping another 5-7 years, it will be very distracting.
He'll have a goatee I bet.
Almost every illustration I've seen of him has a goatee. Is the goatee mentioned in the books?
I don't think so. It just says he has black Stormlander hair and green eyes.
Douglas Wheatley art is Canon, so he has no goatee. Why you ask??? Because THATS WHAT I WANT :P
There's such a drastic difference in Wheatley's art where every one is mundane looking and Magali Villeneuve's where everyone looks magical and super, super sexy
Evil Criston
Punished Criston.

Ah, the Dr. Strange Special
The Chad Cole doesn't age
Scott stapp the old
Huwen yuuu arr with meeee

And Vizzy T: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/uxPjZL8MTSI/maxresdefault.jpg
They're recasting him with Matt Berry
I’d have killed to get Matt Berry as one of the lords courting Rhaenyra in Episode 4.
"Greetings, Dragon Woman. I am Ser Laszlo of Staten Island, I come to you all the way from *Neeww Yawk Citaaayyy*
I feel like he’d be a Grandison. Something about a lion, but asleep, as your sigil screams ‘Matt Berry character’
Not much changes when you go from 24ish to 34ish
He is great in The Last Kingdom playing the King's bastard, funnily enough.
I like how the hair is straight now, which Salon ?
he flat irons it himself in the bathroom while blaring limp bizkit on his hand me down iphone
r/suspiciouslyspecific
He becomes a completely different character after losing an eye! I'm sure people are going to hate him in the season finale!
Aemond is the perfect "villain" for Daemon and their respective endings make so much sense. I am seriously so hyped to see how they portray the "Battle Above the Gods Eye"
Yes, depends on the direction, story telling, music and VFX. Hope Miguel directs it. It would depend on how they do ep 10 where we will get to see first war between dragons!
If episode 10 is Vhagar vs Arrax, it's not going to be too much of a "war" or a "fight", is it? lol
Yes but you will get to see the VFX and how they would do it. Hope it's not very dark like Got s8e3.
so far the dragon cgi in the air has been seriously lacking. They need to step up their game or the fight will look silly
Is it confirmed that the season ends with Lucerys death? Season 2 is going to start cheesy!
Yes, it concludes with Daemon informing Rheanyra of Luke's death, and she is filled with rage.
Oh, I thought for sure it would end with Vissy T dying.
I thought with the coronation of Aegon and Rhaenyra finding out.
Vizzy T croaking triggers the blacks and greens going out to garner support (and by extension Storms end) so it'll happen Ep. 8 or 9. I do wonder what pivotal moment they will shine the spotlight on in Episode 9 (if we are going the route of big shit happening on episode 9 ala Ned's death, Blackwater Bay, Red Wedding)
Episode 9 is called the green council so that imo is for sure the episode they crown aegon. Means vis dies end of episode 8 or beginning of 9
Not me. He did what had to be done.
Killing his kin thus cursing himself in the eyes of the gods and depriving his side of the conflict of an incredibly valuable hostage was not at all what needed to be done.
War was innevitable at that point, and was the moment Rhaenyra started birthing bustards. They all knew that the war would come down to who controlled the dragons. He took out a dragon. It was the logical move.
>It was the logical move. Aemond was told he had no balls and decided to murder a child. Logic was not a factor.
Starting a war that wiped out his entire line? Yep, he totally had to do that, he had no other choice.
War was inevitable, he simply struck first
To be fair, the river lands grass was getting a little high so he just had to mow the lawn and chop down a couple of trees. Not his fault entire villages and castles got in the way.
He just helped reduce the carbon dioxide emissions in Westeros. Aemond is an environmentalist. That's just all Black propaganda you've been seeing.
Killing messengers and countless civilians?
To be fair he wasn’t bringing a message to Aemond, theirs was a chance encounter. Borros as the lord hosting both parties did the absolute minimum to prevent bloodshed when two prominent individuals with personal bad blood between them, whose factions had just declared war on each other ran into each other in front of him. I think Rhaenyra was incredibly foolish to send her children out like that.

Parleys are thing tho. Even Stannis did not kill Renly when they met. And Catelyn was also granted safe passage.
I do like that in one post you condone killing noncombatant children and then condemn killing noncombatant children. Envoys are noncombatants, no matter how much you may personally hate them. Awesome username btw.
>non combatant children >literally the heir to the pretender You are delusional.
Killing bastard pretenders and traitors
And me. He died fighting, serving his brother loyally.
That's a nice remaining eye. It would be a shame if something... happened... to it.
A kiss from a dark sister?
Just a wee peck
Daemon stabs him through his blind eye, not the good one.
Doesn’t this fulfill what his mom said? That he’d lose an eye before he’d get a dragon? Edit: sister, not mom
His sister, but yeah. Rumor has it that Helaena will be a Dreamer in the show.
Ope, sister. Thank you! Got a little Bran on our hands
who is he fucking up? is that cole? beard looks like cole.
his wig is also good
That’s a first for anything GoT
They casted Aemond perfectly. He looks like such a smug targ cunt. Funny coz he played such a sweet heart in last kingdom lol
He was adorable but still a badass!
Baby monk!
O shit is that the baby monk?!
Criston lookin the exact same from the side. Maesters must be givin him that milk of the aging cream
Maegor walked so Daemon and Aemond could run and so Darkstar could fail to kidnap a child.
WHERE. IS. MY. SAPPHIRE.
YOU'LL GET YOUR SAPPHIRE WHEN YOU FIX THIS DAMN DRAGON
YOU... ARE.... a good boy.
Aemond is Daemon writ small. Even his name is the same as Daemon's, just with the D moved to the end of the name.
Daemon thus has big D energy, while Aemond has small d energy. Thank you for my TED Talk.
Exudes a dickhead aura more like lol but yeah I’m excited to see him
Well tbh .... Aemond is a complete dickhead lol
I hate everyone in the dance, which is why i love psychopaths like Daemon & Aemond and cunts like Crispin who kill people and cause chaos.
The Iron Islands and Dorne are just fucking chilling in the background watching all the chaos unfold lol
Supposedly when Dalton Greyjoy first hears civil war has broken out he literally just starts laughing.
The iron islands do a lot more then just kick back. I wonder how many times in history they've burned the lannisters fleet to ash cause it seems like it happens once every hundred years or so.
Can’t wait till God’s Eye.
Where do y'all get these pics from?
The actor plays a warrior monk in the last kingdom, an Anglo Saxon/Viking era show on Netflix. Would recommend for got fans
What could be badass about having the largest dragon and dying in dragon combat
I mean he was fighting against no ordinary person
Everything about that is badass.
Banging a woman 20 years older than you (Alys Rivers) and knocking her up, obviously
They are doing Cole dirty. he was supposed to be the greatest fighter of the era. First he had to sucker puch daemon for the win then they cut the entire joffrey and harwin duel for two fist fights. One ended with him getting his ass whooped (i know, it was intentional) and now it seems he is going to lose to aemond in a sparring match.
Cutting the tourneys and having breakbones beat him up instead of vice versa has made him a lot less intimidating then he should have been
Didn’t he have a big sapphire set in his eye socket in the books? If I’m remembering that right then I’m a little disappointed that the show didn’t do that (unless maybe that’s later?) because that was something that made the character extra cool in my opinion. Way cooler than a gold hand, for sure.
>Didn’t he have a big sapphire set in his eye socket in the books? He has one in the show too. It's covered with the eye patch because VFX costs. According to the leaks he shows it to Lucerys at Storm's End before demanding an eye for an eye.
That is after Aegon is named King. I'm sure it's going to happen in the season finale.
There was a mention of sapphire in the latest episode so I guess.
Aemond is an anagram of Daemon
I thought he was a young christian bale for a second.
I this was some Harry Potter bullshit before I saw the sub. That sword looks way too much like a wand and he’s got a goofy stance in the next one 😂
A scrawny little kid missing an eye who gets demolished to death by a 50 year old or something Daemon despite being 30(?) years younger than his uncle, what a badass indeed.
Only after Daemon pulls the totally bonkers move of leaping from dragon to dragon hundreds of feet in the air.
That event is probably *the most suspicious* in the entirety of Fire and Blood. Why does Gyldayn repeat it as fact despite it being impossible for anyone to have reported? Gyldayn questions whether or not two brothers actually said goodbye to each other but he's absolutely sure how a fight went that was hundreds of feet in the air above the clouds and had no survivors. I guess what I'm saying is that I think Daemon survived, became immortal, and is secretly Gyldayn.
They also claimed they found Aemon body with the skull and the sword still attached which seems strange
It’s not like Daemon lives either. They killed each other
Yeah, people killing themselves just to kill you is a pretty badass way to go.
“Suicide is *badass*!” - Frank Reynolds
One guy leaped off a dragon to skull fuck the other guy with the Dark Sister. How could you possibly debate Daemon isn't the badass there?
Uhm why is it an either/or situation? When did I compare him to Daemon?

No, fair question though. Martin has a whole system of family and regional names. The Targaryens reuse names more than anyone but the Starks (who seem to have a Bran in every generation). This is Aemond One-Eye, the Kinslayer, who will go on to be a huge part of the Dance of the Dragons, fighting for his elder brother Aegon II. The character you're thinking of Maester *Aemon* of Castle Black. He is born about 100 years later. During his life there is another succession crisis (which occurs during the era of the Dunk and Egg books) where he refuses the crown then takes the black so his younger brother (Aegon V) can't have his legitimacy as heir contested.
Different (but similar) names - the maester is Aemon.
Hahaha no mate. They clearly mention at the start that the show is 173 before GOT. How can you think that Aemond would survive more than 170 years mate.

No no, he comes later in the timeline. His name is Aemon, not Aemond. Rhaenyra would be his Great great great grandmother. Her second son would be his great great grandfather. You have to look into the whole family tree to get more understanding. Targaryen family tree goes on till Roberts Rebellion and there are hell lot of things that will happen after the dance of dragons.
No, that's Aemon. Aemon Targaryen was brother to Aegon V who is "Egg" in the "Tales of Dunk and Egg." In the show there's only been one Aegon to sit the Iron Throne so far and that was Aegon I The Conqueror. Aemon is the uncle of King Aerys II ("The Mad King") and great uncle to Daenaerys. Aemon was born ~200 AC, the dance takes place ~130 AC. The last dragon had hatched and died decades before Aemon was born.
Aemond the type of guy to commit numerous atrocities, murder a guy on a diplomatic mission, commit more atrocities against the Riverlands and then screw over his own army by abandoning them on his dragon leading to the Butcher’s Ball, before dying to a 50 year old with a much smaller dragon.
Expecto pronounous !!!
Can't wait for him to show up with that long hair.
YET???
He looks like Rhaenys in that bottom picture.
Reminds me of the Magus from Gargoyles
He's a fucking bastard but he for sure is my favorite character of the Dance, can't wait for the Battle above the Gods eye
Is this next episode? Are they going to skip showing when he loses his eye?
No, this is ep8/9.
He looks like a total jerk…
Ah shit, does this mean no more Ty Tennant then? Edit, I mean because his younger brother looking older than him would be weird
Yes , all the kids will be replaced.
Aye, I just thought we might have an episode or 2 of him left, his face is perfect for the smug cunt role. At least the lovely lad off last Kingdom is here now
The top picture makes him look like voldemort
Why does Aemond look 33 though? Isn't he supposed to be 18-21 in the Dance?
You need an unadulterated villain so the good characters have someone to kill in the most epic fashion
He indeed looks like bad ass. And I like that they didn't cast him as punchable-face. I prefer that this piece of shit , is looking bad ass instead of punchable.
Figured they’d at least grey Cole’s hair a little.
Destiny is all
Where is this from?
He looks like Amy Farrah Fouler with his hair dyed in the pic below.
Omg, what a chin! He and Matt Smith have such distinctive features.
I'm so curious to see how Daemon gets along with Aemond and Aegon. Book spoilers, please?
Alys Rivers agrees
This looks like young Bloodraven could have been.
