In Game of Thrones, Khal Drogo (Jason Momoa) is the cheftain of the Dothraki, a savage and nomadic horse-riding people of the eastern continent. A legendary warrior, he desires a beautiful and exotic woman for his wife, and finds her in Daenerys Targaryen.

In Game of Thrones, the Faith Militant is the military order of the Faith of the Seven, made up of a zealous movement of followers called the Sparrows. Led by the High Sparrow (Jonathan Pryce) and Septa Unella, and including the reformed Ser Lancel Lannister (Eugene Simon), they take brutal measures to enforce their extremist views.

As the assumed daughter of King Robert Baratheon (Mark Addy) and Queen Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey), Myrcella Baratheon (Nell Tiger Free) was a princess of Westeros. However, Myrcella and her blonde siblings were truthfully the children of an incestuous union between Cersei and her twin brother, Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau). She was sent to live in Dorne with the Martells up until her poisoning by a vengeful Ellaria Sand (Indira Varma).

In Game of Thrones, Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) is elder sister to Arya and half-siblings with Jon Snow. She suffers trials and tribulations, but under the protection (or perhaps manipulation) of Littlefinger, learns to survive. Her dark-haired, feathered look reflects this transformation.

Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) doesn’t let the fact that she’s a woman stop her from vying for the throne in Game of Thrones. She manipulates the men around her and when they no longer serve useful or pose a threat, she has no problem disposing of them. She has a special love for her family, except for her younger brother Tyrion Lannister, who she is constantly plotting against.

In Game of Thrones, Shae of Lorath (Sibel Kekilli) is a prostitute who becomes involved with Tyrion Lannister. As with all relationships, theirs has its ups and downs like having to hide from Tyrion’s father who wants to kill her, having to avoid Cersei Lannister who is trying to turn her against Tyrion, and having to compete for Tyrion’s attention after he’s forced to marry.
