Why Fans Think Sea Snake Dies in House of the Dragon’s Battle of Gullet

House of the Dragon fans are eager to know if the Sea Snake dies in Season 3’s debut episode. The season opened on Sunday with a deadly battle, leaving Corlys’ fate uncertain by the end. The episode also features several gut-wrenching scenes, teasing more to come.

Does Sea Snake die in the battle of Gullet in House of the Dragon Season 3?

No, Corlys Velaryon, aka the Sea Snake, played by actor Steve Toussaint, does not die in the Battle of the Gullet.

House of the Dragon Season 3 opens with one of the most devastating battles in Westeros history. It saw the harrowing death of Rhaenyra Targaryen’s firstborn son, Jacaerys Velaryon, played by Harry Collett. The leader of the Triarchy, Abigail Thorn’s Sharako Lohar, also does not make it by the end.

In addition to these two tragic deaths, the episode ends with a cliffhanger that shows Corlys not turning up on screen again after he falls off the ship. This has led many to believe that this might be the end of the road for the Sea Snake. However, fans can rest assured that Corlys is not dead.

The House of the Dragon Season 3 trailer has multiple scenes with the Sea Snake that haven’t premiered yet. This confirms that Corlys will return in the next episode. Furthermore, George R.R. Martin also did not kill off the Sea Snake during the Battle of the Gullet in his book, Fire & Blood.

The book includes a famous quote from Corlys after surviving the Gullet in his book. “It is written that when the Sea Snake was congratulated on his victory, the old man said, ‘If this be victory, I pray I never win another,’” the Sea Snake says.

Additionally, Corlys’ storyline in Season 3 involves him navigating his tense relationship with his bastard sons Alyn and Addam. Speaking with ScreenRant, Steve Toussaint explains, “The great thing about Alyn and the great thing about Corlys is that Corlys sees himself in Alyn, in Alyn’s refusal to take a helping hand in his steadfastness.”

House of the Dragon Season 3 returns next Sunday, June 28, 2026, with its sophomore episode.
