Warning: This article contains spoilers for "House of the Dragon" Season 2!

By the end of "House of the Dragon" Season 2 Episode 3, war seems inevitable in the Max series Bloodshed has already occurred on both sides of the "Dance of the Dragon," and members of both factions are growing anxious for a fight

Both sides are eager to gain more allies in the coming war, and an important supporting character, Wolf (played by Tom Bennett), appears in the most unlikely place

"House of Dragons" Season 2 has already introduced some new faces This is because, as in the original story, Wolfe will get his own dragon and will play an important role in the coming war

Here is what we know so far about Wolf, what he will be involved in, and why his appearance excites me so much

Wolf made a brief appearance in the second episode of "House of Dragons" Season 2 as one of the passersby who saw the executed rat catcher hanging on the wall in King's Landing In the latest episode, he and several of his friends had a talk in a tavern, where he exposed both his lineage and his allegiance in the Targaryen feud

He claims King Jehaerys Targaryen ("the Mediator") as his grandfather and the son of Baelon the Brave He also calls Rainaila "the one true queen" and states that she is a "dragonseed," a term used to describe the bastard children of the Valyrian family He says that he might be killed if he identifies himself as a Targaryen, but he is quickly silenced when Aegon II goes out into the night with several of his Kingsguard

If you are asking me why I should get worked up over something that could easily be dismissed as the drunken ravings of a Wolf, let me explain what happens later in the Targaryen timeline

WARNING: There are spoilers for the book!

In an event also known as "The Red Sowing" or "The Sowing of the Seeds," Prince Jakaeris, son of Rainila, makes a bold move to strengthen his black army: he masters the uncivilized dragons of Westeros! He promises huge rewards to those who can do so While many lose their lives in the process, Wolfe becomes one of the successful ones and acquires Silverwing, the most docile of the unclaimed dragons

He plays an active role in "The Battle of the Gullet" Later, however, he and his fellow Seed, Hugh (Kieran Vieux), betray Rainira in the First Battle of Tumbleton and unleash the dragon on the town

I'm pleased to see Wolf--and two of the other dragon seeds, Hugh and Adam of Hull (Clinton Liberty)--appear, mainly because it means that the timeline of events is really starting to move forward Much of the show so far has existed either within the bickering factions or within the War Council chambers But after the debut of the species and the events of Episode 3, "Dance of the Dragons" is beginning to look ready to take off altogether

We already know from episodes like "Game of Thrones"'s "Battle of the Bastards" that HBO can draw killer battle scenes I simply cannot wait to see where this show goes next
