Laenor Velaryon
Laenor Velaryon’s character embarks on a multifaceted journey within the show, brought to life by three different actors throughout its course—Matthew Carver, Theo Nate, and John Macmillan. His intricate storyline revolves around his profound love for Qarl Correy, a relationship culminating in a sham wedding with Rhaenyra. Notably, the show takes substantial creative liberties, significantly departing from the book’s narrative regarding his fate.
In the source material, Laenor meets his end at the hands of Qarl in Spicetown. Conversely, the series opts for a different trajectory, allowing him to orchestrate his fake death and escape with his lover, ultimately offering him a unique and comparatively happier resolution.
