Why Criston Cole’s New Role Could Be His Undoing
Cole ’s shortsighted lock may make him seem like a more serious military man , after the longer hair he sported as Lord Commander of the Kingsguard ( and frequent after - hours visitor to Alicent ’s bedroom ) , but it will take more than a Modern haircut for him to follow in his delegation toHarrenhal . thing indeed took an immediate tough number for Cole and his man , as their military expedition across the Riverlands was interrupt by Baela and her dragon Moondancer , who chased the knights into the forest , then returned to Dragonstone to report the find to Rhaenyra .
Cole ’s face-off with Moondancer set a foreboding spirit for his expedition , belike foreshadowing more bad luck to total . Indeed , the latestHOTDepisode saw Daemon arriving at Harrenhal onwards of Criston and his humankind , and venture his own title to the decrepit castle , led by a very pliable Simon Strong , who immediately toast his reinforcement for Rhaenyra .

Cole may indeed rue ever becoming Hand of the King to Aegon , who apparently installed the incorrect humans in that important job , perhaps want someone in the spatial relation who would show frail and inept , making Aegon look better by comparison . On the other hand , Cole has demonstrate to be prosperous so far , so perhaps there ’s a chance he could still get back from his mission alert , and see Alicent again .
