Confused about the Targaryen lineage? So are we.
Thankfully, French illustrator and video game developer Maryon B. is using her creative talents to help make things a bit clearer. She drew the complete Targaryen family tree and shared it on Deviant Art for fans' use, along with the disclaimer "I DON'T EVEN LIKE HOUSE TARGARYEN WHY DID I DO THIS."
"I actually started the tree out of spite because all their descriptions (and fan representations) make them look the same - beautiful, silver-haired and purple eyes, and it frustrated me to see them as elf-clones," she told Vox in an email.
Maryon B. sketched 100 Targaryens for her tree, with generations tracing back to momentous times from Old Valyria through the War of the Usurper. The Targaryens and their mighty dragons ruled the Seven Kingdoms for three centuries.
While Maryon B. was not much of a fan to begin with, that changed as she worked on her illustrations.
"[I]n the end it made me appreciate House Targaryen much more since now I share a personal story with each and every one of them, and I would suggest anyone who likes 'Game of Thrones' to be curious about them because they have a lot of stories to tell," she told Vox.
For those watching Season 6 or reading spoilers on Reddit, one of the biggest fan theories links this family to another fan-favorite -- a team that may just be the salvation of the realm.
