12 New Characters Set To Appear In Game Of Thrones Season 6

By James Hunt /

8. A 12-Year-Old Boy

Description: €œBrown hair and blue eyes. He needs to use a Northern accent. He has scenes where he has to spar with a wooden sword. The length of the role isn€™t specified.€ Who It Could Be: From this description, and the fact it seems to tie in with that of the 7-year-old boy, there€™s a good chance this will be Ned€™s older brother Brandon, who as we know was the Stark that Catelyn was originally supposed to marry, before his death during Robert€™s Rebellion. He may not have a key part himself, but it makes sense that he€™d be there if we€™re seeing Ned€™s childhood. The possible alternative, although less likely, is that we€™re seeing a flashback from Littlefinger€™s point of view; after all, he was besotted with Catelyn, and bested in a duel in Brandon, although the ages suggest they€™d be a bit too young for this.
