Mitchell — who plays Alicent’s second son with the late King Viserys (Paddy Considine), who died in season one — told PEOPLE that this season Aemond is “the most wanted man in the kingdom.”
“I think season one pretty much put this family’s world on a knife edge and all it took was a push from both sides to draw blood — and Aemond drew first blood,” he said, referring to the death of Lucerys “Luke” Velaryon on at the end of the 1st season.
The death ignites a war that began to simmer in the season two premiere, as Queen Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy) and her husband Daemon are out for blood — and King Aegon’s young son ends up paying the price.

As for his dynamic with his brother, Mitchell, 27, said Aemond “wanted to be treated as the first [son]but ultimately he’s a backup.”
“He’s the one who goes out and fights in the war. He feels that Aegon doesn’t have the tenacity to be king—he was the one who squandered his inheritance. And Aemond, he trained with Criston Cole in the courtyard of the Red Keep. So yes, very are different, but maybe they need each other.”
