Aemond’s newfound power after the Battle of Rook’s Rest has paved and pushed his path towards his growing political endeavor. We can detect ambiguity in his intentions. His actions can be seen as very similar to his uncle, the Rogue Prince Daemon Targaryen. Among Aemond’s piles of motivations, one can see Daemon as his ultimate motivator. His way of thinking is very much similar to that of Daemon’s. In Episode 6 of House of the Dragon Season 2, he wishes to fight with Daemon in particular to measure up his own abilities against his.
Aemond and Daemon are parallels of each other
With the sync in their names, their actions also synchronize. Both have equal kinds of hunger for power and the throne. The only distinctness lies between their faction i.e. greens and blacks. Like the glow in his sapphire eye which is mostly covered, he is yet to unveil and exercise his authority. Similarly, Daemon was being kept hidden behind, during his brother Viserys’ reign. In a recent interview with Variety, the House of the Dragon star, Ewan Mitchell said,
“ He’s Daemon’s biggest stan. From the Targaryen blacks to the long hair, it’s so reminiscent of a young Rogue Prince. It’s a homage to his idol. I don’t want to spoil anything, but if those guys end up meeting in a room somewhere, every household object would become a dangerous weapon.”

Ewan Mitchell thinks Aemond and Daemon could be friends in real life
Daemon is the second son of Prince Baelon The Brave and Princess Alyssa. Likewise, Aemond is to King Viserys I and Queen Alicent. Both have seen their brothers ascend the throne, whom they considered incompetent of ruling. From the very beginning both of them needed certain validations against their capabilities which they never got. Ewan Mitchell believes their similarities could lead to a friendship in real life,
“I think they’d be really good friends in reality. Aemond wants to be his uncle, but he also wants to be better than him. To achieve that, he has to do more than what he did, which is a tremendous feat in itself. So much of Aemond’s costume lends to the idea that he very much idolizes Daemon. “
