According to the actor, audiences can expect some major changes to Daemon as he succumbs to some personal demons. Check out Smith's full comment below:

"He sort of tumbles into anonymity in a way. He gets softer, lazier, fatter, slower. And he's sort of haunted by his demons, really, by ghosts, by apparitions, by his own sense--the weight of all the bad deeds that he's done really come home to roost, so to speak. And I think he becomes more exposed, really, in a way."
