Gerold "Darkstar" Dayne is Aegon Targaryen

  • This shows why Doran is afraid of him
  • Like all Daynes, he has Targ features
  • This makes House Dayne the perfect place to hide him. No need for hair dye or any of that rubbish.
  • Was Doran the great plotter really counting on the survival of Viserys, a beggar king with no army and no supporters except one guy in Pentos?
  • Varys told Kevan the truth. Aegon IS in Westeros.
  • Doran sent Quentyn to die and build some sympathy with Dany (who has dragons)
  • Darkstar captured Storm's End (this seems very iffy since Arianne is definitely going to meet Connington)
  • Only Varys and Doran know. Illyrio and Connington are ignorant.
  • Young Griff is a Blackfyre on his mother's side, and Illyrio is his father.

It's not terribly likely, but it's fun.

The problem is that Gerold is apparently a bit too old to be Aegon; he looks like in his early to mid twenties by the book description, but of course dornish sun is going to age your skin prematurely.

An alternative interpretation is that Gerold is a Blackfire pretender who's going to confront and possibly antagonize Aegon in the future. I mean: a Blackfire = a Darkstar. Dumb but we have one of the sand sisters passing as a male by inverting her name after all.

Oooh better yet. Guys. Guys. Darkstar is Rhaego who was teleported to the past. That's why his features fit with Dany's dream of Rhaego. He's going to be AA.
