Kriston Kraut was Lord Commander of the Kingsguard and later became the King’s Hand under the reigns of Viserys I and Aegon II Targaryen. At court, Kriston first came to attention when he defeated Daemon Targaryen at a tournament in King’s Landing, prompting him to request the laurel wreath from Rhaenyra Targaryen.
After the death of Lord Commander Ryam Rotwyn, Ser Kriston took over the leadership of the Kingsguard from King Viserys I Targaryen. Rhaenyra was very taken with Kriston and made him her sworn shield. Despite their close relationship, Kriston convinced her half-brother Aegon II to claim rulership of the Seven Kingdoms after the king’s death. Although Rhaenyra was the rightful heir. This gave Kriston Kraut the nickname “Kingmaker”.
During the bloody “Dance of the Dragons” war, Kriston fell into the hands of the self-proclaimed King Aegon II Targaryen, becoming one of the Greens’ greatest supporters. When Rhaenys Targaryen went to the aid of a lord, Kriston lured her into a trap. There Aegon II and his brother Aemond lurked with their dragons. They managed to kill Rhaenys. But the king was badly injured.
Together with Aemond, who took the lead as Prince Regent, he then marched against Harrenhal with an army. When they found nobody there, they celebrated themselves as heroes. Until they learned that Rhaenyra had managed to take King’s Landing. After leaving Harrenhal to head south with his troops, Kriston was ambushed. His entire army was destroyed and he himself died when arrows pierced him.
