House of The Dragonis one of today’s most popular series, as well as one of the most impressive for its large cast. Just likeGame of Thronesdid before it, which launched a bunch of new stars into the spotlight, this spin-off looks like it’s on the same path.
With the season finale of the second season, a new storyline has kicked off, introducing a character who might significantly impact future events. While this character is portrayed by a new actress to some, others might find their presence surprisingly familiar.
Abigail Thorn Joins The Cast OfHouse Of The Dragon
For those active on social media, Abigail Thorn is a well-known name, but her role in a high-profile series likeHouse of the Dragonhas really caught fans’ attention. Introduced in the season two finale, her character is set to become a key player for Team Green.
Thorn had already teased her role with a post onXbefore the episode dropped, but a particular detail caught fans by surprise. The adaptation introduced a female version of Admiral Sharako Lohar, a character who is male in the books.
Despite this, she is still repeatedly referred to as a man in the episode. To explain this, showrunnerRyan Condalmentioned on the officialHouse of the Dragonpodcastthat the character is misgendered by her colleagues because of her leadership role:
This is a woman in a man’s role as a fleet commander and this is a highly patriarchal society. All these salty sea dogs she’s surrounded with, all these men, their brains cannot process the idea that they’re saluting a woman who’s leading this massive fleet of ships at the end. So, she presents herself as a masculine character in the classic sense and then they sort of just accept it. And that’s why they all follow her.
Fans were quick to react to Thorn’s addition to the series:
Oh, I will say this, while my feelings on the finale remain, I really did like Abigail Thorn as Sharako Lohar. It was jarring at first given she’s still PhilosophyTube to me, but she definitely did the part of an eccentric admiral well!

What To Expect From Admiral Lohar In Season 3 OfHouse Of The Dragon
Lohar is a Lys admiral who commands a fleet of 90 warships. In the season finale during Tyland Lannister’s mission to ally with the Greens, Sharako Lohar demands a mud fight as part of the deal. After Lannister accepts the challenge and is invited to dinner, Lohar eventually agrees to deploy his armada into battle. And that’s where the Triarchy comes in.
The Triarchy’s introduction in the first season was brief, featuring the war with Crabfeeder. However, starting in season three, the triad will have a more prominent role. Known as the Kingdoms of the Three Daughters, it is the alliance between Lys, Myr, and Tyrosh — three of the nine Free Cities.

The Triarchy will play a crucial role as it allies with Aegon in the battle for the throne, and participates in theBattle of Gullet, which is set to be one of the most intense and violent confrontations.
According to the books, Lohar’s role will be pivotal as she faces criticism for her battle decisions. This scrutiny will lead to accusations and disputes, setting the stage for what becomes known as The Daughters’ War.
House of the Dragonis available to stream on Max.
