viserys targaryen (season 1) portrayed by harry lloyd. viserys targaryen is the exiled prince and heir of the targaryen dynasty. known as "the beggar king" for his search for an army to recapture his throne. a narcissist, he is arrogant and self-centered, caring only about himself and looking down on others especially to his sister daenerys. in exchange for an army to help regain the iron throne, viserys marries off his sister to the powerful dothraki warlord khal drogo and follows his horde's journey to the dothraki capital to ensure drogo will keep his end of the bargain. but as they journey, it becomes evident that viserys does not have leadership skills to reclaim the throne as his arrogance and disrespect for the dothraki does not win him any hearts. furthermore, daenerys, who he has always threatened throughout his life, starts to stand up to him. realizing that daenerys is loved by the dothraki and her and drogo's unborn son is prophesized to unite the world, viserys realizes that it is not he but daenerys who will reclaim the iron throne. in a fit of drunken rage, he threatens drogo to give him his army now or he will kill his unborn son. having enough of his behavior, drogo kills viserys by giving him a "golden crown"; molten gold poured over his head. daenerys later names one of her dragons viserion, as a tribute to viserys.
