About “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” in a few words:

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is the latest prequel series in the Game of Thrones universe, premiering in early 2026 on HBO. It’s a character-driven fantasy adventure that follows Ser Duncan the Tall — a humble hedge knight with a heart of gold — and his scrappy young squire, Egg, as they wander Westeros chasing honor, jousts, and maybe a bit of glory. Along the way they run into feisty nobles, strange dreams, and trials of steel that test what it means to be a knight.

Meet the characters from A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms

Ser Duncan ‘Dunk’ the Tall

Dunk is this giant of a man who somehow manages to be both painfully awkward and ridiculously noble at the same time — like a walking, sometimes clumsy, chivalry machine. He’s earnest, stubborn, and wears armor that seems to have a personality of its own (it squeaks sometimes, I swear), and he’ll do the right thing even when it wrecks his day. He tells stories like he means every single word and then forgets details and adds new ones later, which is kinda adorable. He’s brave in a simple, unflashy way, and you can tell he’s the sort of guy who would feed a stray dog before polishing his sword.

Egg

Egg is this tiny, impish spark — quiet on purpose, watching everything with those almost-too-serious eyes that say “I know more than you think” (and sometimes he actually does). He’s mischievous enough to pull a prank, but he’ll also drop a startlingly clever observation that makes you stare at him. There’s this whole double life vibe: kid playing at being a squire, but with the weight of something bigger simmering underneath — and he loves greasy pies, which is both gross and perfect. He’s patient in a weird way, like a cat pretending not to care, and then bam, he’s the one running the whole show (maybe).

Ser Lyonel ‘The Laughing Storm’ Baratheon

Lyonel is chaos wrapped in charm — he laughs first and asks questions later, and somehow that laughter is the most disarming weapon he owns. He’s the kind of knight who tells jokes in the middle of a skirmish and loves a good story so much he’ll rewrite the end to be funnier, even if it’s historically inaccurate. Totally unpredictable: a friend one moment, a tempest the next, and allegedly has a soft spot for poetry and very terrible cake. He’s terrifying and lovable at once, like a carousel that might fling you off but you can’t help getting on.

Ser Raymun ‘The Reluctant’ Fossoway

Raymun is classic “reluctant hero” energy — would rather be at the dinner table eating than jousting, but somehow ends up standing tall when it counts (grumbling the whole time). He’s anxious and polite and constantly surprised that people expect things of him, which is both charming and a little tragic. He’s loyal to a fault and has a ridiculous fondness for pickled things (don’t ask), and he keeps surprising people by being braver than he says he will.

Prince Daeron ‘the Drunken’ Targaryen

Daeron sounds like your stereotypical tipsy prince — loud, careless with coins and vows, a terrible dancer, and yet there’s this strange, sharp intelligence lurking behind the bottle. He sings the worst sea shanties at odd hours and can remember cocktail recipes from ten different keeps, but he’ll also say something heartbreakingly true after one too many cups. He’s messy, dramatic, trouble magnet, and somehow magnetic; like, you want to scold him and then you end up laughing and ordering another round. He’s the kind of guy who loses his map but remembers exactly where you left your heart (probably).

Ser Steffon Fossoway

Steffon is loud, braggy, and full of bluster — think big gestures, even bigger belt buckles, and an annoying confidence that somehow mostly works. He talks like he’s always closing a deal, loves being the center of attention, and insists he’s a better knight than he probably is (maybe he actually is, though). He’s fussy about his soup but will rush into danger when a friend needs him, which makes him surprisingly honorable under all the noise. He collects tiny feathers for reasons he can’t adequately explain, and that’s just delightful and slightly weird.
