Game Of Thrones Season 3: 10 Things We Can't Wait To See

7. Reek reek

Blink, and you'll miss him, but an as yet unknown character who will go by name of 'Reek' - it rhymes with 'freak' - appeared in the season three trailer.

Unfortunately, this character is in for a pretty torrid time, as Ramsay Snow - the bastard of Robb Stark's banner-man, Roose Bolton - begins systematically flaying and removing Reek's fingers and toes. Naturally, this barrage of physical violation leaves Reek mentally irreparable; to the extent where he all but forgets his former name.

In Martin's novels, Reek's character is one of the more interesting that we are offered an insight into. How David Benioff and D. B. Weiss explore the progression of this character will be interesting; though, the treatment and true identity of Reek will assuredly leave more than a few viewers dumbstruck with horror.
