DAEMON BLACKFYRE vs JON SNOW vs BRYNDEN RIVERS: parallels/antiparalells:
Mothers: Daena Targaryen, a former Queen Consort to the Iron throne, was Daemon’s mother. Lyanna Stark, a highborn lady from the North, was Jon’s mother, and her family built a statue in her honor in the crypts of Winterfell. Melissa Blackwood, a highborn lady of northern/riverlands origin, was Brynden’s mother. She’s still remembered by her house, there’s a statue of her in the godswood of Raventree Hall.
Swords: Daemon was given the ancestral sword of house Targaryen, Blackfyre, by his father, King Aegon IV. Jon Snow was gifted the ancestral sword of house Mormont, Longclaw, by Jeor Mormont. Brynden wielded Dark Sister, the sword that belonged to Visenya Targaryen.
Daemon Blackfyre rebelled against his half-brother Daeron II, fighting for his right to the Iron Throne. Jon Snow was loyal to his half-brother Robb Stark, the King in the North, and wanted to fight beside him willing to become a deserter. Brynden Rivers was loyal to Daeron II and led an army against Daemon, killing him later.
Daemon Blackfyre married Rohanne of Tyrosh and had 8 known children and unknown sons with her. Both Jon Snow and Brynden swore to have no children joining the Night’s Watch, but both of them had lovers: Ygritte and Shiera Seastar.
Brynden Rivers and Jon Snow were elected as Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch. Daemon Blackfyre was the leader of the Blackfyre rebellion and wanted to claim the Iron Throne for himself.
Daemon Blackfyre died not leaving his 12 years old son Aegon’s side, who was killed by Brynden Rivers. Daemon was also killed by him. Jon Snow and Brynden sacrificed children for the greater good: in Brynden’s case it was Aegon Blackfyre, in Jon’s - Gilly’s son.
Additionally, both Brynden and Jon have an ability to warg into animals.
