Hightower
—
Otto Hightower was Hand to Viserys I, father of Alicent, and grandfather of Aegon II. The five main novels directly preserve his name only in Davos's review of royal Hands, too little evidence for a complete portrait of calculating ambition. The other chapters supply the succession conflict and Criston Cole's kingmaking precedent; they establish Otto's political context rather than directly witnessing each decision attributed to him.
Key story events this character is involved in, and the chapters where they appear.
Role: supporter
A devastating Targaryen civil war between the blacks loyal to Princess Rhaenyra and the greens supporting King Aegon II. The conflict saw dragon fight dragon and ended with the death of nearly all Targaryen dragons.
No chapter appearances recorded.
