HBO introduced a series of new characters for the upcoming season 5 of its hit series Game of Thrones at Comic Con on Friday.
Many of the new additions are relatives of the (spoiler alert) departed Oberyn Martell. Alexander Siddig (The Fifth Estate) will play his older brother Doran Martell. Toby Sebastian will play Doran's son Trystane Martell, while DeObia Oparei joins as Areo Hotah, the loyal leader of Doran Martell's palace guard.
We also get to meet Oberyn's three "bastard" daughters: Rosabell Laurenti Sellers will play Tyene Sand, Jessica Henwick will play Nymeria Sand, and Keisha Castle-Hughes, from Whale Rider, will play Obara Sand.
Nell Tiger Free will replace Aimee Richardson as Myrcella Baratheon, ostensibly the daughter of Cersei and Robert Baratheon, although fans of the show can surely guess the true identity of her father. She was bethrothed to Tyrstsane Martell as part of the political machinations during the recent wartime.
Jonathan Pryce, veteran of films like "Brazil" and "Pirates of the Carribbean," stars as The High Sparrow who has served the poor in King's Landing and may provide a bit of needed compassion to the world of Westeros.
HBO also released a season four gag reel of the famously intense show at Comic Con.
