In House of the Dragon Season 2, Episode 2, Aegon II fires his Hand of the King, Otto Hightower, and appoints Ser Criston Cole in his place. The move comes after Otto discovers Aegon's plan to assassinate Rhaenyra, which Aegon initiated without consulting the Green Council. Aegon's decision reflects his immaturity and his struggle to learn how to rule, as showrunner Ryan Condal explains. Aegon's choice to dismiss Otto, his own grandfather, is an attempt to distance himself from the old generation of power.
