The greatest seafarer the world of Game of Thrones had known or ever will know, Corlys (played by Steve Toussaint) was the Lord of the island of Driftmark. His family was from High Valyria, like the Targaryens, and Corlys’ travels made him rich enough to ensure he was a major player at King’s Landing after the Conquest. His nickname was the “Sea Snake,” after his ship, and he’s currently the Master of Ships for the Targaryens, controlling the royal fleet and having a seat on Viserys I’s small council… but during the upcoming civil war, he sides with Princess Rhaenyra.
