Who the White Worm Is in House of the Dragon
The White Worm isn’t a new character, but this is a moniker that we’re hearing about for the first time in this episode. As it’ll undoubtedly be revealed later on down the line, the White Worm is actually Mysaria herself, Daemon’s favored prostitute and lover.
After Daemon left for the war at the Stepstones, Mysaria became the mistress of whisperers, not unlike what Varys was to Cersei and Tyrion in Game of Thrones. She was dubbed the White Worm because of her pale skin (in the books, at least), and that served as her nickname while she used street urchins to keep an eye on the goings-on in King’s Landing and reported them to Otto.
This isn’t the last we’ll hear of the White Worm, as she’ll continue to play a key role in relaying important information to various characters in the series.
That’s all you need to know about who the White Worm is in House of the Dragon. Be sure to search for Twinfinite for more news and information on the show, including why Daemon beat up the messenger in episode 3, and what happened to Viserys’ fingers.
