Redd crossed the Valyria Ruins, bonded with Ehm, and hatched King Ghidorah by gathering magical energy. He cured and recruited Aegon, then began hunting across the ruins to earn evolution points and search for treasures.
Redd searched the Valyria ruins for Dragon Eggs and knowledge, but a cursed night attack and volcanic eruptions forced him and his dragons to flee across the Smoking Sea. After surviving a year adrift and healing his dragons, Redd reached Volantis, where a gang attacked him while he was bringing livestock back to the dragons.
Redd entered Westeros with Ehm, Aegon, and King Ghidorah, clashed with House Targaryen, and secured Maidenpool as his domain. After a battle at Dragonstone and the Dragonpit, he left for King's Landing while Daemon began seeking a way to kill him.
Redd maneuvered among Westeros’s lords, seized Maidenpool, and traveled north to seek magic and confront the White Walkers. After discovering how the Night’s King’s army drew on magical energy, Redd wounded him and severed his right hand, but remained surrounded by Wights until a familiar golden figure arrived.
Redd exploited the Cold God's power to raise and destroy Wights, but the magic began to corrupt him and drew the Cold God into a battle that cost her an ice dragon. Pursued to the Wall, Redd found its barrier still blocked him, so his dragons broke through it and carried him across the shattered Wall.
Redd helped defeat the Cold God’s assault at the Wall, then clashed with Daemon and bargained with Viserys for Dragonstone in exchange for betrothal to Rhaenyra. After fighting the Drowned God in a strange dream, Redd prepared new weapons and returned to face the regrouped wights and an enormous ice dragon.
Redd helped defend the Wall against the Night’s King and the Ice Dragon, then absorbed the Ice Chains’ power and began learning to control the laws of ice, fire, and will. After a Dornish-backed ambush, Redd retaliated by devastating Castle Black and its army, leaving Viserys and Ellard to manage the fractured alliance.
Redd traveled to Dragonstone, strengthened Ehm and King Ghidorah, and began building a dragon army and its home. He subdued Cannibal and Sheepstealer, then sent King Ghidorah after a wounded pale dragon hidden beneath a volcano.
Redd captured Grey Ghost, uncovered a Faceless Man assassination plot, and navigated mounting tensions with House Targaryen, House Martell, and Braavos. After Aegon and Ehm attacked Braavos, Redd left Dragonstone for King's Landing, where Viserys welcomed him with a banquet.
Redd conquered Pentos and Braavos, destroyed Volantis’s Red God ritual, and expanded his rule across the Free Cities. Back in Volantis, he faced a greyscale outbreak and ordered a campaign against the Stone Men while refusing Rhaenys’s request for dragons in the war against Dorne.
Redd led an expedition into the Lands of Sorrow, uncovered a cursed golden city, and fought the ancient creatures beneath the Rhoyne. After Aegon devoured the Purple Dragon, Redd withdrew to Volantis and faced an envoy warning that the Three Cities had weapons capable of killing dragons.
Redd crushed Qohor after rescuing Marcus’s army and destroying the Black Goat cult’s supernatural threat, then moved to consolidate his eastern holdings and support Rhaenyra’s claim. The arc ended with Redd arriving at King’s Landing with Rhaenyra, where Lady Rhea Royce asked to speak with him privately.
Redd worked to secure Rhaenyra’s succession through alliances, intelligence, and a failed attempt to eliminate Corlys and Rhaenys. When that plot collapsed, he helped spread suspicions linking Corlys to Tormund, while Otto independently pushed Viserys to weaken House Velaryon; Redd ended the stretch by waiting to see how Otto’s plan unfolded.
Redd, Daemon, and Corlys pursued Tormund through the Stepstones, where Tormund’s hidden sea dragon and a colossal deep-sea beast transformed the campaign into a battle for survival. King Ghidorah killed the beast, while Daemon revealed that he had restored Caraxes in a new form and privately reconsidered his options.
After Corlys’s death and Daemon’s seizure of the Stepstones, Redd maneuvered against the Three Daughters Alliance and forced Viserys to confirm Rhaenyra as heir. The arc left Redd preparing to confront Daemon while warning Alicent that her child must not challenge Rhaenyra’s claim.
Redd secured Alicent's submission, welcomed twins with Rhaenyra, and punished Criston Cole as Aegon's birth stirred succession plots. He then set out against Daemon and the Triarchy, seized the deserted Stepstones, and saved Douglas's fleet from an ambush before continuing toward Lys.
Redd led his fleet into Lys under fire, while King Ghidorah destroyed the city’s defenses and the Black-Robed Men’s weapons. A wildfire trap devastated the palace, and Redd flew to the harbor as Daemon and Tormund attacked his remaining ships.
Redd’s ambush at Lys failed when King Ghidorah destroyed Tormund’s fleet and defeated both enemy dragons. Redd captured Daemon and subjected him to brutal mutilation, leaving him alive and unable to speak.
Redd destroyed Lys and brought the Free Cities under his control, while Viserys tried to secure his restraint by offering him the title King of the Narrow Sea. As Viserys weakened and drew Rhaenyra away, she began building support among the lords, while Alicent and Otto maneuvered to protect their position.
After Viserys recovered and considered summoning Otto Hightower, Redd returned to King's Landing and confronted the growing struggle over Rhaenyra's succession. He left the capital with the political conflict unresolved and a Dragon Dreamer's vision raising new questions about Valyria.
