Myrcella Baratheon
Nell Tiger Free will play the role of Myrcella, replacing Aimee Richardson in the reoccurring role. Dubbed as the “Royal Princess,” Myrcella is the daughter of Cersei Lannister and Prince Joffrey’s younger sister. She was the point of discussion between Cersei and Oberyn when the two had their short talk overlooking the ocean, with the Queen lamenting not being able to be with her daughter.

It will come as a surprise to fans to find out that Myrcella is also Cersei’s child with lover and own brother, Jaime Lannister. The princess however, remains in the dark of her beginnings that her uncle is also her father. While there was so much hatred between brother Joffrey and Tyrion Lannister, it was a complete contrast with Myrcella who has been in good terms with her uncle. Will there be reunion between Myrcella and Tyrion?

Nell Tiger Free plays Myrcella Baratheon. The singer-actress is best known for her role in “Mr. Stink” (2012) and ITV series, “Endeavour.”

Areo Hotah
He heads Doran Martell’s guard. Played by DeObia Oparei, AreoHotah portrays the character of the loyal captain of Martell’s guard with long axe as his weapon of choice.

Doran Martell
Doran Martell is Oberyn Martell’s older brother. Played by Alexander Siddig, Doran Martell joins the casts of GOT Season 5 as the ruling lord of Dome. Oberyn’s scheming brother is described as “even-tempered,” but it remains uncertain how long he will stay one when he finds out that he lost his brother in a duel and was killed by their sister’s rapist.

It will be recalled that in Season 4, Doran Martell was invited to attend the royal wedding between Joffrey Barratheon and Margaery Tyrell. But painful gout stopped him to grace the wedding and sent his brother, Oberyn instead. The attendance lead to the demise of the Prince of Dome.

Siddig is best known for his roleas Dr. Bashir on “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.” His film credits include “The Fifth Estate,” “Da Vinci’s Demons,” and “24.”

Trystane Martell
He is the son of Doran Martell and heir to Dome. Played by Toby Sebastian, Trystane Martell married Cersei’s daughter Myrcella Baratheon in the hopes to strengthen the alliance designed by then Hand of the Kind, Tywin Lannister.

GOT producers also introduced three more characters as they brought the fans to the House of Martell - - Nymeria Sand, Obara Sand and Tyene Sand.

Nymeria Sand
Played by Jessica Henwick, Nymeria Sand, also known as Nym is the second eldest illegitimate child of Prince Oberyn. Nym’s mother has been described as an “Eastern noblewoman,” known best for her determination to bring up her child as “cultured, graceful and deadly with a whip.”

Jonathan Pryce played the role of “The High Sparrow,” one of the royal court officials.

“A devout and pious man, the High Sparrow came to King’s Landing to serve those forgotten by much of the world – the poor, the downtrodden and the infirm – and quickly amassed a large following. His fellow believers have swarmed over the city, ministering to the lowest and decrying the corruption of the highest,” his online biography described his character in the Season 5 of the Game of Thrones.

The 67-year old Welsh actor is a native of Carmel, Flintshire, Wales. The actor-singer is best known for her role in “Evita,” “Tomorrow Never Dies,” “Pirates of the Caribbean” and “The New World.” He began his career in 1980s as he landed the title role of “Hamlet,” at the Royal Court Theatre, which won him an Olivier Award.
