According to Aemond actor Ewan Mitchell, the complicated family dynamics stem from a difficult childhood.
He never really felt that unconditional love from his mother.

He was neglected, he was the only child in the family to not receive a dragon egg.
And kids, they need that unconditional love to develop a balanced view of themselves," he says.
He had to find it in Madame Sylvi."
