The most interesting aspect is that it was Robert himself who killed Rhaegar during the Battle of Trident. Another description on the casting call is for “Warrior”.
Reports have noted that the production team is also looking for a warrior, preferably in the 35-45 age range. This character will have lots of dialogue, with the casting call notes describing it as an “excellent part for a top-end actor”. We know it’s not a Dothraki character as the actor for the role is required to be white, and they’re asking for a neutral and non-posh English accent. The role is required for a recurring schedule throughout October.
The show advertised requests for nine new characters. The Season 6 finale also saw Cersei change the face of Kings Landing forever, as she wiped out the Faith of the Seven, along with the city’s aristocracy.

The role will shoot the first week of November.

Lovely Lady. The show is casting for an attractive young courtesan who is decisive and confident. The role is a “good speaking part”.
