Interview with THE MAN TO RULE THEM ALL, Marc Rissmann, the true heir to the Iron Throne!
This guy will blow up after S8 is over lol
Tell me I'm wrong!
Right from the start you can tell there is a big lie being woven about who his character really is lol
The outrage will be the whole point. We are attached to all these characters, but they will be spent, exhausted, in some cases dead, and ultimately, "Power resides where people believe it does, no more, no less." There has been so much building up to this. The very point of this whole story has been, from the start, about how history is written by the victors, how difficult it is to know the truth, and how interpretations and arguments over the past shape the present and future.
The "heroes" have given everything they had to save the world, sometimes to the point of fighting each other, but in saving it no one will know what they saved it from, and their battles will be remembered as the only threat the world faced. It is the demise of the heroes, the ones history forgets or condemns, that allows rulers like "Aegon" to rule.
"Do you know what the realm is? It's the thousand blades of Aegon's enemies, a story we agree to tell each other over and over, until we forget that it's a lie."
"Power resides where men believe it resides. No more and no less."

--Book quotes:
Varys: "Aegon has been shaped for rule before he could walk. He has been trained in arms, as befits a knight to be, but that was not the end of his education. He reads and writes, he speaks several tongues, he has studied history and law and poetry. A septa has instructed him in the mysteries of the Faith since he was old enough to understand them. He has lived with fisherfolk, worked with his hands, swum in rivers and mended nets and learned to wash his own clothes at need. He can fish and cook and bind up a wound, he knows what it is like to be hungry, to be hunted, to be afraid. Tommen has been taught that kingship is his right. Aegon knows kingship is his duty, that a king must put his people first, and live and rule for them."
Cersei: "Another lesson you should learn, if you hope to sit beside my son. Be gentle on a night like this and you'll have treasons popping up all about you like mushrooms after a hard rain […] The only way to keep your people loyal is to make certain they fear you more than they do the enemy."
Sansa: "I will remember, Your Grace," said Sansa, though she had always heard that love was a surer route to the people's loyalty than fear. If I'm ever a queen, I'll make them love me.
