I'm the son of Balon the brave well well

well now that the third episode of Hot D

season 2 has finally dropped it seems

like the dance of the Dragons is slowly

expanding itself beyond the confines of

the red keep and dragon stone with

tensions aggressively Rising between the

green and black factions both crews are

desperately looking to recruit more

allies before they meet their enemy on

the battlefield this week we saw several

new characters leave a lasting impact

even if their Cameo was brief in the

Riverland after Damon Targaryen seized

the decaying castle of heren Hall he met

a mysterious wet nurse named Alice

Rivers who is apparently a witch

meanwhile in King's Landing King Aon

Targaryen II spent a wild night in the

city's shadier areas and almost crossed

paths with a long lost relative he

doesn't even know exists yep we are

indeed talking about UL the white I

don't know if you noticed in the

previous episode but UL is the same

crazy looking dude who was staring up at

all the hanged rat catchers in the

previous episode of the prequel well it

didn't seem like he was any anything

more than a side piece UL is about to

become one of the most important

characters who's going to have a major

influence on the upcoming Targaryen

Civil War so without wasting another

moment let's find out who UL the white

really is before we get into this

explanation however we have a very small

request if you like our content please

support us by subscribing to our Channel

this is a small click for you but for us

it means a lot thank you let's begin

Uncle to the one true Queen Renea

targaryan Wolf's bold Revel in House of

the Dragon after a very short appearance

in the second episode of the prequel

Show's newest season halfway through the

latest episode we see the usual story of

the blacks and the greens unfold as

they're scheming and plotting against

one another comes to a screeching Al for

a short trip to the local pub in King's

Landing once again we see the same man

with scraggly gray hair entering the

badly lit Pub all amped up to meet his

friends this man who's greeted as UL

pulls up a chair and starts chatting and

joking around just like everyone

normally does in a bar while having a

chat with his friends UL confides in a

dornish man on how his house never

settled in the dornish region even if

Dorne mourned the death of his

grandfather he then goes out on a

stretch to claim that his grandfather

was known as the conciliate while

referring to Jaris I fourth King in the

Targaryen Dynasty the grandfather of

King viseris I and great-grandfather of

both Queen rer the first and King aegon

II according to this scruffy looking man

he's the son of Balon the brave who was

the son of King Jaris He also mentioned

that if anyone were to discover this he

could be beheaded because a Dragon Seed

must watch his own neck when there is no

white cloaked Guardsman to do it for him

but before UL can elaborate on his

supposed Heritage or offer any proof

he's interrupted by the unexpected

arrival of King aegon II at the pub

literally seconds after proclaiming his

support for anira UL knels in fty of

course to avoid losing his head but it's

not like UL could prove his claims

anyways right he's probably just one of

many drunks in flea bottom claiming to

be secret royalty well maybe or maybe

not you might have noticed that UL isn't

the only nobody introduced in this

season so far we also met the the

blacksmith Hugh Hammer Allen of Hull and

Allen's brother Adam there's a reason

for all these seemingly minor characters

appearing in season 2 out of nowhere and

it's because they're all Dragon seeds

who are set to play a crucial role in

the upcoming War you C me my head you

are saying your

tar what is a Dragon seed for those who

haven't read the books yet I'm sure you

guys probably had your eyebrows raised

into a big blank question mark when you

heard the term Dragon SE now UL didn't

just randomly invent the concept of

being a Dragon Seed ironically it's a

rather common term in Westeros often

used to refer to a bastard of Valyrian

descent a Dragon seed is a person

fathered or mothered by a member of a

Valyrian family like House Targaryen or

house valaran which means that they have

the blood of the Dragon flowing in their

veins but being a Dragon seed is

politically risky just as UL described

if you remember we've seen it happen

repeatedly in Game of Thrones where the

nobility of the Seven Kingdoms had

almost no tolerance for Royal bastards

born out of wedland at best bastards are

either an annoying reminder of their

infinite Fidelity worst they're executed

after being seen as a dire threat to the

stability of a house however being a

Dragon Seed does come with a few major

benefits one of which is the potential

to ride a dragon in reality no one

really knows how to become a dragon

rider but we have definitely learned

that having Valyrian blood helps while

not all targaryens automatically bond

with a dragon like poor Raina in the

show who hasn't been able to claim one

yet still someone with Valyrian ancestry

has a far better chance of connecting

with a dragon than someone without it

given the current scenario the black

blacks are dealing with a tricky

situation while they oversee Dragon

Stone which is a home to many dragons

they actually lack enough Dragon Riders

to command them all the latest episode

only serves as a reminder of this

dilemma with Lor valerian's old Dragon

sea smoke soaring above the castle

without a rider looking Restless lonely

and abandoned while rira eventually

figures out that she would need more

Firepower on her side it would be

logical for her to seek out some of the

many Dragon seeds scattered throughout

the

crownlands hey have a nephew

how is UL the white related to King Egon

II and Queen rira in House of the Dragon

UL has already mentioned that he is the

son of Balon Targaryen with a commoner

now Balon the brave was proclaimed as

heir to King Jaris the conciliator but

unfortunately he met his untimely death

after suffering from a burst belly which

in modern medical terms is known as

appendicitis anyways it was the sudden

death of King Jar's last surviving son

that prompted the Old King to allow the

Lords of Westeros to choose their next

ruer before he died Balon rode vagar and

wielded one of the most famous Valyrian

steel swords dark sister which was later

passed on to Damon as for vagar the

dragon remained riderless after balon's

death until Lena valaran eventually

mounted her later after Lena's death

vagar was claimed by Aon Targaryen now

in Fire and Blood Balon is said to be

deeply devoted to his wife often turning

down advances from others later in life

in order to stay loyal to her this

suggests that it's unlikely for him to

have fed a Dragon Seed like UL however

House of the Dragon isn't hesitant about

making tweaks to the story line instead

of considering all the details from the

books and one such change could be ul's

claim as the grandson of Jaris Targaryen

the first so if ol's story is true by

any chance being Balon the Brave's son

would make him the uncle to both Queen

rira and King aegon II he would also be

the great uncle of their children I

think if the house of the Dragon decides

to explore more of this connection it

has the potential to offer plenty of

intriguing twists as the series

progresses all how the king all

he who is UL the white in Fire and Blood

in this Source material for the prequel

show UL goes by quite a few different

names he's mainly known as UL the white

for his withered white hair or UL theat

for being an illiterate drunk even in

the books he was nowhere to be found

before the event that came to be known

as The Sewing of the seeds which we are

expecting to see unfold in the latter

half of season 2 while the evidence of

his true parentage never comes to light

UL finally stopped hiding himself when

Prince jeris Valyrian called on all the

Targaryen and Ian bastards to try and

claim all the wild dragons during the

sewing of the seeds if you didn't know

the sewing is known as the time when

queen rera found herself reeling from a

catastrophic battle with more dragons at

hand than any dragon Riders so she

tasked Prince jeras valaran to summon

all the bastards of the Targaryen and

Valyrian house in order to claim any

riderless dragon to support Queen

rainer's blacks and fight for her in the

war in exchange they were promised lands

and titles now only a rare few succeeded

in this daring task and UL the white was

amongst them UL the white initially

started off as a man-at-arms when the

dance of dragons began when Prince jeris

called for Dragon Riders In 129 AC UL

managed to mount Silverwood alongside

other Dragon seeds like Hugh Hammer

Nettles and Adam Valyrian UL fought

bravely beside jeris in the battle of

the gullet although Jace met his end

rather tragically during the conflict

after the battle UL began to capitalize

on his accomplishment and started going

by the name Ulf white in order to

highlight his Targaryen lineage after

the great battle of gullet King's

Landing fell under the siege of Queen

rira following this Prince Damon

Targaryen proposed that UL should marry

the daughter of the late Lord stoew

however queen rira turned down this idea

and instead she kned ul and he granting

them lands on drift Mark as a reward for

their loyalty according to rumors heard

by the court jester mushroom fully

drunken UL once rode through flea bottom

wearing nothing but golden Spurs later

when Damon suggested that they should

punish house Baratheon and Lannister for

supporting King aegon targaryan II by

granting storms and to Al rira rejects

the idea after being opposed by Lord

corus valer UL the betrayer in 130 AC

during the first battle of tumbleton rer

sent UL white and Hugh Hammer to fight

for the black faction and defend the

town of tumbleton but both of them

switched sides from the blacks to the

greens and helped Lord Orman high tower

in defeating the black Army this

betrayal earned them the infamous title

of the two betrayers following this

Prince Deon Targaryen rewarded UL by

appointing him as the Lord of bitter but

UL wasn't satisfied and wished to secure

High Garden instead meanwhile King Egon

II was missing and his children were

still infants plus with Amon Targaryen

losing his life after a duel with Damon

Targaryen and Darren still being a young

man Hugh Hammer decided to claim the

iron throne for himself the very next

day sir hobbert Hightower who was a part

of the caltrops arrived to meet ul and

pretend to show his support with the

betrayers claim to the Iron Throne as a

gift hobbert brought UL two barrels of

wine one being dornish red and the other

being Arbor gold as hobbert knew that

all favored the sweeter Arbor gold he

had the whole Cask poisoned now UL might

have been a drunk but he wasn't a fool

highly suspicious of htt's generosity UL

commanded him to set the dornish red

aside and insisted that he should be the

first one to taste the arbor gold with

no other choice left hobbert drank the

arbor gold first and then went on to

request a second cup praising its taste

after seeing the wine was safe UL drank

three cups of the wine himself but soon

the poison began to take effect and UL

fell into a very deep sleep causing him

to pass away peacefully about an hour

later meanwhile sir hbert hi Tower

already knew that the poison was gentle

so tried to throw it up but it was

already too late and after failing to

purge the poison he succumbed to it as

well so that's the tale of UL the white

or more appropriately UL the betrayer

many say that if Hugh and UL did not

betray rira she might have won the war

but I guess the old gods and the new had

different plans laid out for the black

queen with that being said do you think

Hot D is going to differ from ul's

original storyline and go on to give him

a Redemption Arc would it be something
