Appearance

See also: Images of Daemon Sand

Daemon is handsome, with a strong jaw, sky blue eyes, and light sandy brown hair. He has a close-cropped beard, and dimples appear when he smiles.[2]

Daemon is tall and gallant on horseback.[2]

History

Daemon is not much older than Princess Arianne Martell.[2] He took her maidenhead when they were both fourteen years old, and their couplings had been both clumsy and ardent. Arianne recalls that it had been sweet.[2] Although her father Doran, Prince of Dorne, eventually learned of this, he did not react to it.[3] Daemon asked Doran for Arianne's hand but was refused,[4] and relations between Daemon and Arianne were not the same after.[2]

Daemon squired for Prince Oberyn Martell[5] and received his knighthood from the Red Viper himself.[2] There are rumors he also became Oberyn's lover, though this is seldom said to his face.[2]

Quotes

Daemon in Game of Thrones

The man was as smug as he was comely. Of all the knights in Dorne, why did my father chose this one to be my shield? He knows our history.[2]
