Gwayne Hightower is the Only True Good Fighter Left in House of the Dragon

Gwayne Hightower has left behind Cristen Cole, which was a very smart decision he had made, because it was truly the point of no return for Cole's character. This was instantly proven right when he was given a dishonorable death, and the rest of his men were instantly killed. Gwayne is now stuck with Ormund Hightower, along with his nephew, Daeron. He had gone to Tumbleton to warn Ormund of the oncoming fight with the Stark and the Tullys, who have gathered a gigantic army that is now heading to Ormund.

From the looks of it, Gwayne is truly the only good guy left in the show.

Minus Helaena, who is also another good Hightower, Gwayne is the last true good knight left. He has been through so much, and he is still stuck in the war somehow, and I think he is only staying for Daeron at this point. He knows that only bad things are going to follow, and I have a crazy theory as to what is going to happen with Gwayne's character. He is aware that Ormund is dangerous, and from a very important scene that has taken place, Ormund is most likely screwed.

Gwayne was able to prevent Daeron from getting assassinated at the hands of Rheanyra. Since Ormund has been sending his own people to kill her own men, she has decided to do the same and even used another weakness against him. Ormund cannot stand really bad smells, and that is exactly what these men do. They cover themselves in mystery smells, and this literally prevented Ormund from helping Gwayne eliminate the men. He takes out the entire group almost all by himself, as Ormund straight up vomits into his cup.

I think that Gwayne is definitely aware of Ormund's huge weakness, so he will most likely attempt to get Daeron out of that environment. It's going to be tough, since his dragon is locked up, but I'm sure that he will try and get Daeron out before it's too late. He obviously carries a huge dislike for Ormund, because of his evil intentions, and he deeply cares about his nephew.

I really hope that everything ends well at least for Gwayne. I have a bad feeling that Helaena is going to die, and I hope that Gwayne is one of the few good souls that gets a happy ending. He doesn't deserve any of this crap from either of the families, and it's his own family's fault that he was pulled into this battle in the first place.

Daeron has the potential to remain a good guy, but it's only if Gwayne is able to save him and get him the hell out of Tumbleton. I know that something really bad is going to happen, because all of those innocent people in the town aren't going to make it. It's a huge shame that so many good people who don't deserve to die are going to get caught up in the war, and I hope that Gwayne is going to get the hell out of here.

Or maybe he will be forced to murder Ormund, and from the looks of the last episode, Ormund will be easy to take out. Dude has the dumbest weakness ever, and it's the easiest way to kill this bastard. Gwayne only has to cover himself in dog crap or bathe in mud, and this fight will be easy for him.

Gwayne is the last honorable knight left alive, and I'm nervous about his fate. Hopefully Gwayne and Daeron will be able to escape the war before it arrives to their doorstep, and they will go back to Oldtown, or somewhere else, where they will survive and thrive in peace.
