Lord Corlys Velaryon: Team Black
Lord Corlys Velaryon (Steve Toussaint)—the Lord of the Tides and Master of Driftmark—heads up House Velaryon, a clan nearly as powerful as the Targaryens. His nickname is the Sea Snake, owing to his great skill as a sailor, though as we pick back up with him in season two, he’s just recovered from a near-fatal accident. Like his wife, Rhaenys—theirs is one of few marriages in House of the Dragon that actually contains mutual respect and affection, though they do have their bumps in the road—Corlys isn’t in line to rule, but he’s far too intelligent and experienced to be relegated to the sidelines.
