The bump worked, otherwise I would not have probably seen this theory. Thanks!

I will admit that I have not given House Darry much of a thought. But the Darry name does pop up quite a bit in our story, with important people having interesting parts to play in the story, and Castle Darry does have some intereseting things happening at it. After reading this, I would have to say you are probably correct in having either the family or the castle play some role in the end game.

As to Humphry Waters being a Darry bastard, there is not much to go on, but also nothing against it. It is certainly possible. And the connection to the Dragon Gate is interesting.

Yup not much to go but its interesting nevertheless. Considering how important the Captain of the Gold cloaks have been so far in the series (and in history) it doesn't seem likely that he won't end up being someone unimportant.

As to this former commander of the Dragon Gate letting a dragon (either Aegon or Dany) into the city to help with a conquest or retaking of the city that Aegon I founded 300 years ago is rather poetic. If I had to bet on one of them, I would say that Aegon will arrive first. He might not be able to take the city by battle, but someone leaving a door open for him would make things pretty easy. And if certainly the Darry family seems like one of the strong Targaryen supporting families still in the realm.

Nice theory!

Anyone know which gate Tywin entered the city through at the time of the Sack of Kings Landing? If it was through the Lion Gate, a dragon coming through the Dragon Gate would be even more poetic!

I certainly expect Aegon to be in KL before Dany.

I agree on the poetic nature of the gates but I don't know which gate Tywin came through but judging by the map of the city it would make sense if he did.

Darkstar will be the next Vulture King.

The Captain of the Gold Cloak's must be a fairly prestigious position. In my head, I don't think very highly of it, but I think that is my feelings for Janos Slynt mixed up with the position. And yes, the position has been presented to us as a position of power, but I have always wondered if LF has the gold cloaks in his pocket. I suppose that could change very much depending on who is in charge of the gold cloaks.

Do you know how the Gold Cloak's got their name? From the color of their cloaks, yes, but why do the city guards wear gold cloaks, I guess is what I am asking. Could it have any type of connection to the Golden Company?

Their father understood as well. "You want no pup for yourself, Jon?" he asked softly.

Well Janos Slynt is enough to turn anyone's stomach.

I certainly think Baelish had the Gold Cloaks at the start of the novel, Janos was likely appointed by him. Then Vary's man Jacelyn Bywater takes over during Tyrion's reign as Hand. Then Tywin puts Ser Addam Marband in the position, who gives it up when he joins Jaime. Cersei then appoints Osfyrd Kettleblack (was Baelish's man could just be Cersei's now???) Lastly Kevan appoints Humfrey Waters, who we know nothing about but seems to be a long serving member of the City Watch.

Prince Daemon Targaryen improved the gear and training of the City Watch (as well as the gold cloaks) earning them the nickname The Gold Cloaks, from then on.

So no I don't think there is any overt connection to the Golden Company.

Darkstar will be the next Vulture King.

Yes he is. Such a satisfying moment when Jon takes his head off! Might have been a step in the wrong direction for Jon, because I do think he was serving his Stark family and blood in that instance, but I love the moment anyway!

So, does Kevan appoint Waters because he is also in Lannister hands, or just because he was a good man for the position? I rather liked Kevan, and would like to think he appointed the best man for the position without family connections in mind.

Thanks for this information. It sounds vaguely familiar, but it was not at all stuck in my knowledge bank!

Ah, Daemon, the rogue prince! What a man! That is a character worthy of spinoff for HBO!

Lannisters are low on resources at the moment. I think he would choose the best man for the job since they are out of Lannister cronies.

*Sigh* The Rouge Prince! One of my favorites too, and definitely of the Targaryens! He might have been a dick at times, but I won't hold that against him. Considering how much of what is said about him could just be green propaganda to blacken his name! :commie

As for a spin-off. Definitely worthy in termes of story, though I would opt for an animation as I really doubt they'd find an actor that can live up to my expectations... Yes, they are VERY high! And I do have Rhaegar quite fresh in my mind (nothing against the actor, but not even close to what I picture as Rhaegar)...

So what does everyone think?

I think your bump of this must have happened while I was on one of my breaks this winter, or else bastards wasn't on my mind at the time. In any case, I just discovered this thread yesterday.

Honestly I hadn't thought of any Darry bastard running around, but then I hadn't thought of the Darrys potential role in the current timeline until I saw PJ's theory on them (an interesting one, but I hold no strong oppinion as yet). stdaga and I touched upon the bastard theme not long ago, so the topic was on my mind now.

And interesting case you lay out here! With so little information to go on it's hard to say, but this could definitely be the case. And if the Darry bastard is leading the goldcloaks, it would be a nice (but imperfect) mirror to the Dance as well. I'm still not convinced of the paternity of Jamie and Cersei, so the potential of them being Targs makes this even more interesting. With history repeating itself in similar ways, the gates of King's Landing being opened does seem like a possibility. If so, I'd say Aegon would be the one at the gates due to proximity.

I'll have to read the threads you linked to, and as this just popped into my awareness I don't have that much to say on it right now. Just wanted to through in my few cents for the moment and bump again! :cheers

Perhaps if HBO would splurge budget wise and not reuse Viserys' wig for the Rogue Prince that would help!

I am still stuck on the color that was chosen for the cloaks that the Gold Cloak's wear. Daemon was the man who improved the uniforms and therefore he must have had something to do with the color that was chosen for the cloaks. Why gold?

Gold makes me think of dragon's, the coinage, which are made of gold and stamped with dragon's. One reason for Daemon to pick the color, perhaps? He spent time in the slums gambling and whoring, so perhaps he was fond of gold coins.

Daemon was a dragon rider. His dragon Caraxes was noted to be red in color and fearsome. No idea what color his flames were. I don't see this connection to gold color of the cloaks coming from Caraxes. (also, this red dragon has me thinking again of the red dragon on the Targaryen sigil but I am trying not to derail this thread)

I really keep coming back to the Golden Company, perhaps since this is the majority of Aegon/Young Griff's army, but the Golden Company came into existence after the the gold cloaks were named. Perhaps Bittersteel took his inspiration from Daemon's choice for the Gold Cloaks. After all, the Gold Cloaks were the city guards for Kings Landing but they really seem to be the only guard force available for the Red Keep as well, unless a person used there own family guards.

What is it about the color gold? Aegon chose gold dragons to be the highest money donomination in his new Seven Kingdoms. Or I assume he chose the color/metal in the coins. Then Daemon and the gold cloaks and Bittersteel and the golden company. What are we missing? Or am I thinking to hard on this? Cold gold have something to do with some of the Targaryen prophecy or dreams?

As to this idea of a dragon conqueror to the city of Kings Landing, if it's Dany and she has dragons, I don't think she needs someone to let her in. Aegon, however might need this help, as we know that the city will not be easy to take. It held up with a small force against Stannis army (the city almost fell, but it didn't). I don't think Aegon can take the city without either treachery or help. Help seems more likely. And very fitting if he was "let in" through the dragon gate. It might even be chosen for the symbolism, and how the people of Kings Landing and the Seven Kingdoms might view it. There is power in imagery! The son of the dragon prince entering the city through the dragon gate ...

As to the Darry bastard being the leader of the gold cloaks, I am pretty certain I would never have zoned in on that possibilility, but the more I think about it, the more I like it. And I do think that bastards of certain houses have important roles to play in the conclusion of this story!

I suppose this Targaryen inclination for gold can come from many sources, but last night while doing a search on certain colors, I came back across this, so it's fresh on my mind.

I ought to have a banner sewn, she thought as she led her tattered band up along Astapor's meandering river. She closed her eyes to imagine how it would look: all flowing black silk, and on it the red three-headed dragon of Targaryen, breathing golden flames. A banner such as Rhaegar might have borne. ASOS-Daenerys III

Maybe there is something in the dreams these dragonlords have that links back to golden flames?

LOL sadly it seems the Age of Heroes seems the most likely spinoff but I have no faith in HBO to do it justice since they don't have Martin's works to go off of.

Still the Conquest would have been epic and only 3 dragons just like the show.

Maybe that is what they were looking for in Valyria all that time? Gold! Gold is associated with dragons in this story, as the highest form of coinage in Westeros. That can't be coincidence. So, has there been a Targaryen dragon that is red and breaths gold flames? I still wonder about the red dragon on the Targaryen sigil, as a possible proto-dragon for the Targaryen's. Was the very first dragon they ever controlled a red dragon? Did it breath gold flame? I think there could be some connection between this above mentioned banner that Dany day dreams of making and it is perhaps linked to Ned's thoughts on "Rhaegar's dragon banner" at the Trident. The thought from the Neddard about "Rhaegar's dragon banners at the Trident" has always struck me as something individual or separate from the House Targaryen banner's that should have been the sigil that the crows supporters were fighting under.

There might be other red dragons, (anyone? help me if I am missing a red dragon or two, please) but I am only aware of two. Meleys, the Red Queen, and Caraxes, the Blood Wyrm, are both known to be red in color, but I am unsure if it's mentioned what color their fire was. Meleys was noted to have some pink coloring to her. An interesting connection is that Meleys was ridden first by Alyssa Targaryen, who was the mothe of Viserys I and Daemon, the Rogue Prince. When they were babies, she took both boys for rides on her red dragon. Viserys later claimed Balerion for his dragon, and Rhaenys, Alyssa's neice, known as the Queen who Never Was, claimed Meleys. Before being claimed by Daemon, the Rogue Prince, Caraxes was ridden by Aemon Targaryen, son of Jaehaerys and Alysanne, who was the father of Rhaenys, the Queen who Never Was. Again, this combination of people who are associated with riding red dragons makes me think there is something special about each individual Targaryen dragon that genetically matches them to a dragon. But that was a little "red dragon" rabbit hole I slipped into again...
