One popular fan theory about Daemon Targaryen may connect the dots regarding the Three-Eyed Raven inGame of Thrones. The final events inHouse of the DragonSeason 2 have given us lots of things to anticipate for the upcoming third installment, and one of them is the fate of the Rogue Prince.
The exciting thing about Daemon as a character in George RR Martin’sFire & Bloodis that apart from being the most complex anti-hero in the story, he doesn’t have a proper conclusion after supposedly dying during the Battle Above the Gods Eye.
Explaining ‘Daemon Targaryen is the Three-Eyed Raven’ Theory
House of the Dragonfinally showedMatt Smith’s Daemon Targaryen some of the most significant events in the future of the Targaryen dynasty. When he touched the Weirwood Tree in the godswood in Harrenhal, he began seeing people he had never met, such as Brynden Rivers and Daenerys Targaryen.
In that split-second clip, we saw the face of Bloodraven, and this is where the theory begins. Many fans have postulated that Daemon is the Three-Eyed Raven. This totally makes sense knowing he is the great-grandfather ofBrynden Rivers.
As mentioned, the fate of the Rogue Prince remains unknown after his tragic duel above the Gods Eye, and George RR Martin’s novel provides the possibility that he might have survived that fall. If the prequel series decides to keep Daemon alive, then there’s a high chance he will become the Three-Eyed Raven.
His visions in the show came from the weirwood trees, which is basically the same operation for the Three-Eyed Raven inGame of Thrones. The show made a clear connection between him and Brynden Rivers, the raven beforeBran Stark. He also eventually wielded the Valyrian steel sword Dark Sister, which once belonged to Daemon.

So, how did Brynden become the Three-Eyed Raven? A possible explanation would be that after he was sent to the Wall and later elected as Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch. During an expedition beyond the Wall, he infamously disappeared. We can speculate that this mirrors Bran Stark’s absence in Season 5. When Brynden and Bran returned after their disappearances, they became Greenseers.
How the Bloodraven Story Can Explain Bran Stark’s Absence inGame of Thrones
One of the most highly criticized parts ofGame of Throneswas completely leaving out Bran Stark in Season 5. SinceHouse of the Dragonalready lays the foundation for the original show, they can use this opportunity involving Daemon and Brynden as an explanation for moving towards the fifth installment without Bran.

The details are already laid on the table, and all they have to do is connect them all with a string starting from Daemon. The nature of his character allows so much room for exploration, and somehow, this theory seems to fit like a puzzle.
