Warning: Spoilers ahead from this point on!
‘House of the Dragon’ episode two was just as good as episode one.
And now we have a new antagonist besides Daemon Targaryen. He goes by the “Crabfeeder” because, like his name, he feeds his enemies to flesh-eating crabs.
Corlys Velaryon has been complaining about him for both episodes, and it appears that people will have to start paying attention now.
The Crabfeeder is beginning to start a war against Velaryon’s navy, which he fears will undo the peace in Westeros.
But who is the Crabfeeder?
His name is Craghas Drahar , and he appears in the Fire & Blood novel by George R.R. Martin. He is an admiral for the “Triarchy”, which is an alliance that includes the Free Cities.
In the novel, there is peace (an unsteady peace, but peace nonetheless) between the King and the Triarchy.
The Triarchy accepts tax from the crown to use the Stepstones land for shipping lanes, but Drahar decides to raise the tax, which spurs Corlys Velaryon into action.
Will Drahar go further in the show than he did in the books?
Only time will tell, but until then, we can enjoy every second of the drama that Fire & Blood is giving us.
