Editor's note: The below recap contains spoilers for 'House of the Dragon' Season 3 Episode 5. The Game of Thrones universe has a new villain in town, and he's already proving to be popular, as evidenced by all the memes comparing him to Dennis Reynolds ( Glenn Howerton ) from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia . Ormund Hightower ( James Norton ) has made a big impression with his House of the Dragon debut, not just for his propensity for unique smells and over-the-top outbursts, but also because of the threat he represents. With both Aegon ( Tom Glynn-Carney ) and Aemond ( Ewan Mitchell ) missing, Ormund seeks to raise Daeron ( Benjamin Evan Ainsworth ) as the rightful heir to the throne, but even in their absence, Rhaenyra's ( Emma D'Arcy ) grip on the newly occupied King's Landing is slipping.
