But wait... Hol' up.. you said: "further his ambitions"
But this is where I get confused about Daemon.
And I have to ask myself...
"What ARE his ambitions?"
Does he want to rule the 7 kingdoms?
![Dunno :dunno: :dunno:](/forum/images/smilies/dunno.gif)
Or does he just want to be rich?
![Dunno :dunno: :dunno:](/forum/images/smilies/dunno.gif)
Or does he just want to fuck his niece Rhaenyra?
![Dunno :dunno: :dunno:](/forum/images/smilies/dunno.gif)
Or does he want his niece to rule the 7 kingdoms instead of himself?
This is what makes his character confusing, to me.
Daemon kills the Crabfeeder... and wins the Battle of the Stepstones.... so they crown him as "King of the Narrow Sea" (which is not a part of the 7 kingdoms)... then he relinquishes this crown, title and kingdom to his brother Viserys... WHY?
![Dunno :dunno: :dunno:](/forum/images/smilies/dunno.gif)
If he wants to rule the 7 kingdoms eventually... why relinquish any land or any titles at all? His brother Viserys didn't care about that area. He probaby would have let him keep it.
But then he goes and murders his wife in the Vale.
![Confused :confused: :confused:](/forum/images/smilies/confused.gif)
And tells her cousin (Ser Gerold Royce) at the wedding ceremony... that he's coming to take over Runestone.... which IS part of the 7 kingdoms.
So is Daemon gonna take over Runestone.... then gift it to his brother Viserys... just like he did with the Stepstones?
![Dunno :dunno: :dunno:](/forum/images/smilies/dunno.gif)
Or is he gonna keep Runestone for himself?
Why claim a part of the 7 kingdoms for yourself... but give an area that is not part of the 7 kingdoms to your brother... who is the King and controls EVERYTHING anyway.... except for the area you just fought 3 years for?
Ok, so Dameon wants to fuck / marry his niece... and he has a dragon... and knows how to use secret passages to slip her out of the Red Keep without being noticed by anyone... so why didn't he just come get her & whisk her away on the back of his dragon to Dragonstone & call it a day?
Is it because he wants her to sit the Iron Throne & rule the 7 kingdoms MORE than he wants to fuck /marry her?
Instead, he marries Lord Corlys' daughter and has a gang of kids with her.
Because he wants to be wealthy? Instead of ruling the 7 kingdoms?
It may seem simplistic, or but the point I am trying to make is..... take Lord Peytr Baelish for example.
- Littlefinger's ultimate goal was to sit on the Iron Throne and rule the 7 kingdoms.
![Yes :yes: :yes:](/forum/images/smilies/yes.gif)
- Even if it meant... "Littlefinger would see this country burn if he could be king of the ashes".
![Yes :yes: :yes:](/forum/images/smilies/yes.gif)
- He amassed land & titles.. and never gave anything back.
- But he ALSO wanted fuck / marry Sansa Stark.
![Yes :yes: :yes:](/forum/images/smilies/yes.gif)
- However, he would never TRADE his chance to sit on the Iron Throne... for Sansa Stark.
Littlefinger's objectives were pretty clear.
The Iron Throne was ALWAYS his primary goal.
Everything else was secondary. (Even Sansa)
He wanted it all... but if he had to choose "just one".... it would be The Iron Throne. Nothing else.
But Daemon is not as clear. Sure he might want everything...
But if he had to choose "just one"... between gaining wealth, land & titles... or fucking his niece.... or sitting on the Iron Throne...
I really dunno WHICH ONE he would choose first.
![Dunno :dunno: :dunno:](/forum/images/smilies/dunno.gif)
(Or which one he would give up for the other.
![Dunno :dunno: :dunno:](/forum/images/smilies/dunno.gif)
)
Do you think the Iron Throne is important to Daemon? Like it was to Littlefinger? Just curious.
If so, do you think the Iron Throne is MORE important to Daemon than fucking / marrying his niece?
I can't call it.
![Dunno :dunno: :dunno:](/forum/images/smilies/dunno.gif)
I dunno what Daemon's ultimate objective is.
If you do... Help me out.
![Dunno :dunno: :dunno:](/forum/images/smilies/dunno.gif)
Need an assist.
Salute.
