Summary
When asked about his parentage inHouse of the Dragonseason 2 , instalment 7 , Addam of Hull tells Rhaenyra that his father is “ no one of consequence , ” as he activelyavoids unwrap himself as Corlys Velaryon ’s illegitimate child Logos . After Corlys Velaryon and Rhaenys Targaryen miss both of their child in time of year 1 , the Lord of the Tides ’ past transgression are coming to light inHouse of the Dragonseason 2 . After simply hinting at it in George R.R. Martin’sFire & Bloodbook , House of the DragonconfirmsCorlys Velaryon sire Alyn and Addam of Hull .
Though he ’s occasionally been see interacting with them , it ’s implied that Rhaenys is still the only person who knows about Corlys ’ other shaver . However , now that his married woman and trueborn children are gone , Alyn is seemingly bring more dictation within the Velaryon fleet , andAddam has claimed the flying dragon Seasmoke , Corlys will presently have to reveal the the true . to boot , since Addam turn down to name Corlys as his founding father when question by Rhaenyra inHouse of the Dragonseason 2 , episode 7 ’s opening sequence , the Lord of the Tides will have to be the one to order Rhaenyra about his sons .
Addam Has Been Ignored By Corlys Velaryon His Entire Life
Why Should Addam Claim Corlys If His Father Has Never Done The Same?
It seems the main cause why Addam does n’t tell Rhaenyra is that Corlys has ignored him all his sprightliness and never openly claimed him . Since Corlys has never formally claimed them , Addam revealing the the true to the Queen could get Brobdingnagian issues for him and his chum . Addam has essentially been trained all his life to keep his parentage hidden , so he is n’t going to peril it that quickly , even for Rhaenyra . Keeping his sire a secret is bothfor his own sake of already having veil it all his sprightliness and worry about what Corlys might do if Addam endanger the truth .
Since Corlys has n’t been around for him and may have footling carriage on why Addam can ride a flying lizard , he really does see his father as “ no one of consequence . ”
Additionally , since Corlys has never claimed Addam throughout his living , Addam wo n’t be so eager to claim Corlys in return . Corlys has never act as a father to Addam and Alyn , so it ’s unlikely that they really consider him as such . UnlikeAlyn shaving his silver hairto hide his inherit Valyrian traits , Addam ’s physical trait do n’t necessarily favour Corlys , fix it easier to turn down his lineage . Since Corlys has n’t been around for him and may have little bearing onwhy Addam can ride a dragon , he really does see his father as “ no one of consequence . ”
Larys Strong seems like he ’s up to something in House of the Dragon time of year 2 , episode 7 . Here ’s what we can draw from his tidings and actions .
Addam Wants His Purpose Of Riding Seasmoke & Serving Rhaenyra To Be Separate From Corlys
Addam Doesn’t Have To Prove Himself Or Be Ignored Any Longer
hold open his line of descent hidden is also a way for Addam of Hull to embrace his purpose on his own merits and pact . Alyn had already taken up theirmother Marilda of Hull and father Corlys Velaryon ’s “ salt and sea ” calling as a skilled sailor , but this was never where Addam ’s passions lied . Addam is setting out on his own dragonriding journey that he and Rhaenyra trust to be ordained by the gods , and while Corlys Velaryon is Rhaenyra ’s Hand , Addam no longer has to attempt to prove himself or reluctantly work direct under his Father of the Church inHouse of the Dragon .
