Trials and Tribulations of the Oathkeeper

The Cast -- Main Characters

• Mark Addy as King Robert I Baratheon: The King of the Seven Kingdoms, Protector of the Realm, and founder of the Baratheon dynasty; former Lord of Storm's End and Lord Paramount of the Stormlands. Once a powerful warrior and charismatic man in his youth, he led a rebellion against the Targaryen dynasty and seized the Iron Throne but proved to be an ineffective ruler, having grown fat and miserable and loathes his responsibilities as king.

• Henry Cavill as Prince Daveth Baratheon: Firstborn son of King Robert I Baratheon and Queen Cersei Lannister, heir to the Iron Throne as Crown Prince of the Seven Kingdoms. Calculating and determined with a mysterious past, he spends most of his time formulating strategic plots and preparing himself for the next challenge — even if it means getting his hands dirty. Nicknamed "the Young Stag" and "Black Lion", he is more commonly referred to as "the Oathkeeper" for delivering on a promise or a threat.

• Jack Gleeson as Prince Joffrey Baratheon: The second of Cersei Lannister's four children. Although believed to be one of King Robert I Baratheon's sons, unbeknownst to him and the realm, he is actually a bastard born of his mother Cersei's incestuous relationship with her twin brother Jaime. Vicious and cruel, he has a short temper and believes he can do anything he wants. He is also a coward when confronted by those who aren't afraid of him.

• Nell Tiger Free as Princess Myrcella Baratheon: The third of Cersei Lannister's four children. Although believed to be King Robert I Baratheon's daughter, unbeknownst to the realm, she is actually a bastard born of her mother Cersei's incestuous relationship with her twin brother Jaime. Unlike Joffrey, she is described as a sweet girl with a quiet disposition and has a close relationship with her eldest brother.

• Dean-Charles Chapman as Prince Tommen Baratheon: The youngest of Cersei Lannister's four children. Although believed to be one of King Robert I Baratheon's sons, unbeknownst to him and the realm, he is actually a bastard born of his mother Cersei's incestuous relationship with her twin brother Jaime. Like Myrcella, he is good-natured and passive boy in contrast to Joffrey and is fond of Daveth and his uncle Tyrion.

• Charles Dance as Lord Tywin Lannister: The head of House Lannister, Lord of Casterly Rock, Lord Paramount of the Westerlands, Shield of Lannisport, Warden of the West and former Hand of the King to Aerys II Targaryen.

• Peter Dinklage as Tyrion Lannister: Tywin Lannister's youngest offspring and younger brother of Cersei and Jaime. His mother, Lady Joanna, died giving birth to him which earned him the hatred of his father and sister; only Jaime is kind to him.

He is regarded as a dedicated husband and father, a loyal friend, and a dutiful, honorable lord considered to embody the values of the North.

• Harry Lloyd as Prince Viserys Targaryen: The second son of King Aerys II Targaryen and his sister-wife Queen Rhaella, younger brother of Prince Rhaegar and older brother of Princess Daenerys. He and his sister are the last remnants of the exiled Targaryen dynasty following Robert's Rebellion, which resulted in the deaths of their father and brother. He laid claim to the Iron Throne as King Viserys III following his father's murder. A narcissist, he is arrogant and self-centered, caring only about himself and looking down on others, especially his sister.

• Emilia Clarke as Princess Daenerys Targaryen: The daughter of King Aerys II Targaryen and his sister-wife Queen Rhaella, younger sister of Prince Rhaegar and Prince Viserys. Also called "the Stormborn", she and her brother Viserys were smuggled to Essos during the end of Robert's Rebellion.

Nicknamed "the Stormborn", "Breaker of Chains", "Mother of Dragons".
