It feels like only yesterday when "Game of Thrones" aired the first episode of season five, and now seven episodes have already passed and there are now only three more episodes left before the season finally closes.

It might be a sad thing for the show to bid the small screen a temporary farewell, but the team behind the show is already busy casting for season six, and based on the teasers obtained by Watchers on the Wall, it looks like there would be new, interesting characters that will be joining the season regulars.

One very good part for season six is a pirate, in his late 40s to 50s. He's "an infamous pirate who has terrorized seas all around the world. Cunning, ruthless, with a touch of madness." Add to that, he's a very good-looking man too, and they are guessing he might be Theon's uncle Euron Greyjoy more than his brother Victarion.

The next few characters compose of a family, quite possibly the Tarlys, so more of Samwell's past will be explored next season. The father character is aged 50 to 60 years old, described as "one of the greatest soldiers in Westeros- a humorless martinet, severe and intimidating. He demands martial discipline in the field and in his home."

It's said to be "a very good part" since he is "centrally involved" in a protagonist's storyline, and many are guessing he is Randyll Tarly, Sam's abusive father.

Up next are Sam's mother, brother Dickon, and one of his sisters, if the father character is indeed Randyll.

The mother, in her 50s is a "sweet, plump, and adoring mother, and has a soft spot for one of her children who benefits from her decency," while the sister is in her 20s. She is "kind, friendly and unpretentious," and the brother, also of the same age is "athletic, a good hunter, an excellent swordsman, manly, not particularly bright but the favourite child of the father."

There will also be a priest aged 40 to 50, who many believe to be Septon Meribald. He will be a "gruff ex-soldier who found religion, now a no-nonsense rural priest who ministers to the poor of the countryside. He's salt-of-the-earth man who has weathered many battles."

Then there's a leading actress role, in her early 40s. She is "an elegant actress with a traveling theatre company. Fun, charismatic, rum-drinking actress in the troupe."

Another priestess, mid 20s to 30s will be joining. She could be of any ethnicity just as long as she is beautiful, intense, and magnetic.

There will also be a fierce warrior in between 30 to 40 years old with a powerful physique, and the crew is looking for someone with "mixed ethnicity" for the role.
