So far, thanks to time jumps, the cast of House of the Dragon has changed approximately 24 times. I know it's hard to keep up. Don't worry though — here are all the currently alive characters and what they look like in real life. These characters are currently alive pre-episode 8, because I'm giving anyone who hasn't seen the most recent episode a small window to watch without spoilers here.
