Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon share an accolade. Few franchises have given the world as many characters to truly despise. Everyone recalls the white-hot hatred they felt the first time they saw King Joffrey's smug, self-satisfied smirk. House of the Dragon is no slouch in that department either. Of all the monsters in King's Landing, Criston Cole is probably the most detestable. His body count might not be the highest, and his sins might be behind closed doors, but it's hard not to want him dead. That makes his nickname, "Kingmaker," hard to hear.
