'House of the Dragon' Season 3, episode 1: Everyone that dies - Mashable

House of the Dragon left us on a brutal cliffhanger at the end of Season 2, but Season 3 has quickly made up for that with the Battle of the Gullet and a mountain of bodies. So many bodies, in fact, that it's probably worth a recap. Who are all the named characters that have died so far in the first episode of Season 3?

He looks particularly out of his depth on her ship cruising into the Battle of the Gullet, but he manages to hold his own up to a point — that point being when Lohar unceremoniously tosses him over the side to stop him weighing her boat down. The Lannisters have a rough time of it in episode 1, with not one but two key members of the house slain. The other victim? Head of Casterly Rock and twin brother to Tyland, Jason Lannister, who is killed off-screen and has his severed head presented to Daemon (Matt Smith) on the battlefield. Still, it does give Jefferson Hall the impressive accolade of getting to die twice in one episode. For a character that was only in a few episodes, Admiral Lohar certainly makes a big impression. She racks up an impressive body count in episode 1 — possibly including her sworn nemesis, Lord Corlys (Steve Toussaint) — before ultimately meeting her match in Corlys' bastard son, Alyn. Their sword fight is bloody and brutal, ending overboard in the water, where Lohar ultimately meets her maker. Oh dear. Jace (Harry Collett) makes the questionable decision to lock his mother up so that he can go to battle in her place, presumably thinking he'll be relatively safe on Vermax's scaly back. Unfortunately, what he doesn't account for is the anti-dragon weaponry aboard the Triarchy's ships. Baela (Bethany Antonia) manages to save him the first time he gets snared, but the second time she's too late. Jace gets dragged underwater, resurfaces, then gets multiple arrows in the neck. There's a question mark over this one because we don't know for certain whether Lord Corlys Velaryon is dead or not. He goes over the side of the ship while fighting Lohar and doesn't appear to resurface, but that doesn't mean we can count out the Velaryon lord just yet.
