Things I Like: Harwin Strong (House of the Dragon)

Ryan Corr as Harwin Strong House of the Dragon HBO television series

Harwin Strong was an okay minor character in House of the Dragon. He was the son of the Lord of Harrenhal and he served in King’s Landing as a captain in the City Watch.

But he was the secret lover of Rhaenyra Targaryen and the biological father of her first three children.

While I’m sure he did not appreciate having to make everything so secret, he did seem to be a pretty good dad. But when his sons so much like him, he decides to leave the city to go back to his family’s castle before rumors spread like wildfire.
