Game Of Thrones: 9 New Characters Set To Appear In Season 7

by James Hunt

1. Young Lord

Robert Rhaegar Game of Thrones
HBO

Description: Young Lord, in his late 20s. This guy is a tall, handsome young lord. The producers want a white actor with an RP accent. He's shooting scenes starting September 20th.

Who It Could Be: A young Lord who comes to meet the new Queen, perhaps? She'll probably need a marriage, and will have a number of likely suitors. The RP accent suggests someone in the South, rather than a Northern Lord, so some Southern Lord who comes to win Cersei's favour seems a decent bet. Just as likely is the other potential Queen in Westeros, Daenerys. There aren't any named male characters left in Dorne, so a new Lord arriving there as a potential match for Daenerys is another possibility. I'd be tempted to say Aegon, but again it just seems way too late to start going down that rabbit hole.

Of course, we could all get hopes up for this being Rhaegar in a flashback, but, actually yeah, let's do that. Please be Rhaegar. (It probably won't be Rhaegar.)
