Dragon Diplomacy and Daddy Issues
Clinton Liberty on what Addam of Hull’s new role means to someone who at heart “just wants a relationship with his dad.”
“I don’t think that matters to him at the moment, because he has this opportunity that he’s waited a lifetime for,” Liberty says in the Irish lilt he masks to play a shipwright in the employ of (and certainly not an heir to) House Velaryon. Addam’s bond with Seasmoke helps Rhaenyra realize that she can build an “army of bastards” to stand against Team Green, and her open call for smallfolk of Targaryen heritage leads to two other characters pairing with dragons: scorpion-maker Hugh and Vermithor, nicknamed the Bronze Fury, and pub regular Ulf and the more reclusive Silverwing. Through it all, Liberty imbues the character with a little bit of confusion, a lot of eagerness, and a clear desire for service from, as he laughingly puts it, “just a guy on a beach that happened to be chased by a dragon.”
