The producers decided that several characters from A Clash of Kings, including the Freys and Crannogmen Reeds at Winterfell, Frey bannermen of the Starks, the Tullys, Stannis' wife and daughter, Theon's uncle <a href="/wiki/Aeron_Greyjoy" class="mw-redirect" title="Aeron Greyjoy">Aeron Greyjoy</a> and the bastard <a href="/wiki/Ramsay_Bolton" title="Ramsay Bolton">Ramsay Snow</a> would not be cast despite appearing in the novel. <a href="/wiki/Showrunner" title="Showrunner">Showrunners</a> <a href="/wiki/David_Benioff" title="David Benioff">David Benioff</a> and <a href="/wiki/D._B._Weiss" title="D.

This was done due to the large number of characters already introduced in season two, and because they couldn't afford to have people "waiting around" for their characters to become central to the plot.<a href="#cite_note-17">[17]</a> Having to fill so many speaking roles, the showrunners not only "postponed" the introduction of several key characters, but they also merged some into one, or certain plot-functions were given to different characters. Many physical traits were also altered, such as the ethnicity or age of characters. The cast was estimated to be the largest on television.<a href="#cite_note-18">[18]</a> Scattered around two fictional continents characters include, by order of importance: <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Stephen_Dillane_at_Dinard_2012.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3e/Stephen_Dillane_at_Dinard_2012.jpg/170px-Stephen_Dillane_at_Dinard_2012.jpg" decoding="async" width="170" height="227" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3e/Stephen_Dillane_at_Dinard_2012.jpg/255px-Stephen_Dillane_at_Dinard_2012.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3e/Stephen_Dillane_at_Dinard_2012.jpg/340px-Stephen_Dillane_at_Dinard_2012.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3744" data-file-height="4992" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Stephen_Dillane" title="Stephen Dillane">Stephen Dillane</a> (Stannis Baratheon)</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Carice_van_Houten_by_Gage_Skidmore.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f9/Carice_van_Houten_by_Gage_Skidmore.jpg/170px-Carice_van_Houten_by_Gage_Skidmore.jpg" decoding="async" width="170" height="256" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f9/Carice_van_Houten_by_Gage_Skidmore.jpg/255px-Carice_van_Houten_by_Gage_Skidmore.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f9/Carice_van_Houten_by_Gage_Skidmore.jpg/340px-Carice_van_Houten_by_Gage_Skidmore.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1408" data-file-height="2120" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Carice_van_Houten" title="Carice van Houten">Carice van Houten</a> (Melisandre)</figcaption></figure> Emerging as the fourth claimant to the throne is the estranged brother of the late king Robert, Stannis Baratheon (<a href="/wiki/Stephen_Dillane" title="Stephen Dillane">Stephen Dillane</a>).<a href="#cite_note-Hibberd_Dillane-19">[19]</a> The foreign priestess Melisandre, portrayed by <a href="/wiki/Carice_van_Houten" title="Carice van Houten">Carice van Houten</a> poses as an influential, yet manipulative advisor to Stannis.

As he is left-handed, his Davos has the fingers of the right hand shortened, unlike in the novels where his left hand is crippled. In an interview, Cunningham said that a lot of new dialogue had to be written for his character, because in the novels Davos, a point-of-view character, is portrayed more through his thoughts than through his actions.<a href="#cite_note-Access_Hollywood_1_February_2012-22">[22]</a> These three characters headed a new storyline set on a different location, that by the end of the season merged with the main plot. Theon Greyjoy (<a href="/wiki/Alfie_Allen" title="Alfie Allen">Alfie Allen</a>), a main cast member from the first season, but with lesser importance than the others, came to prominence during the second season, as his story unfolded and his character became more central. <a href="/wiki/Gemma_Whelan" title="Gemma Whelan">Gemma Whelan</a> appeared as his sister, <a href="/wiki/Yara_Greyjoy" class="mw-redirect" title="Yara Greyjoy">Yara Greyjoy</a>. Named "Asha" in the novels, the character's name was changed to avoid confusion with the Wildling Osha, Bran Stark's companion.<a href="#cite_note-Hibberd_Whelan-23">[23]</a> "Asha" is portrayed as a fairly provocative and independent woman, a captain of thirty ships, as opposed to her television counterpart Yara, who did not retain "Asha's" traits, although her rivalry with Theon remained intact. Their father Balon Greyjoy was played by <a href="/wiki/Patrick_Malahide" title="Patrick Malahide">Patrick Malahide</a>.<a href="#cite_note-24">[24]</a> Many of the characters involved in the Greyjoys' storyline weren't introduced, most notably Balon's brother Aeron Greyjoy. Nonetheless, the storyline received enormous praise, with the alteration of Yara's name and persona being the only criticism. <a href="/wiki/Tom_Wlaschiha" title="Tom Wlaschiha">Tom Wlaschiha</a> is cast as Jaqen H'ghar, a mysterious prisoner who develops a murderous relationship with young Arya Stark (<a href="/wiki/Maisie_Williams" title="Maisie Williams">Maisie Williams</a>).<a href="#cite_note-25">[25]</a> Wlaschiha's pronunciation of his character's name, Jack-in, was adopted for use in the show.<a href="#cite_note-26">[26]</a> <a href="/wiki/Natalie_Dormer" title="Natalie Dormer">Natalie Dormer</a>, best known for her portrayal as seductive <a href="/wiki/Anne_Boleyn" title="Anne Boleyn">Anne Boleyn</a> in <a href="/wiki/Showtime_(TV_channel)" class="mw-redirect" title="Showtime (TV channel)">Showtime</a>'s <a href="/wiki/The_Tudors" title="The Tudors">The Tudors</a>, was cast in a similar role as <a href="/wiki/Margaery_Tyrell" title="Margaery Tyrell">Margaery Tyrell</a>, a noblewoman and the wife of the third claimant to the throne, Renly Baratheon.<a href="#cite_note-Hibberd_Dormer-27">[27]</a> <a href="/wiki/Gwendoline_Christie" title="Gwendoline Christie">Gwendoline Christie</a> played, to much praise, <a href="/wiki/Brienne_of_Tarth" title="Brienne of Tarth">Brienne of Tarth</a>, a female warrior who joins Renly Baratheon's guard, but later becomes a follower of Catelyn Stark.<a href="#cite_note-Hibberd_Christie-28">[28]</a> To prepare for the role, Christie took up an intense training regimen, adding over a stone (6.4 kg) of muscle mass.<a href="#cite_note-29">[29]</a> So that she could be mistaken for a man, her armor was decorated with lines that slant away from her hips.<a href="#cite_note-30">[30]</a> On the other side of the fictional world, two female roles with rising prominence were added to the cast: <a href="/wiki/Skin_(American_TV_series)" title="Skin (American TV series)">Skins</a> star <a href="/wiki/Hannah_Murray" title="Hannah Murray">Hannah Murray</a> filled the role of Craster's daughter <a href="/wiki/List_of_characters_in_Game_of_Thrones#Beyond_the_Wall" class="mw-redirect" title="List of characters in Game of Thrones">Gilly</a>, a love interest to Samwell Tarly;<a href="#cite_note-31">[31]</a> while the second role, the one of <a href="/wiki/Ygritte" class="mw-redirect" title="Ygritte">Ygritte</a>, Jon Snow's love interest among the Wildlings, was played by <a href="/wiki/Rose_Leslie" title="Rose Leslie">Rose Leslie</a>.<a href="#cite_note-32">[32]</a> Daenerys Targaryen's (<a href="/wiki/Emilia_Clarke" title="Emilia Clarke">Emilia Clarke</a>) stay at Qarth, opened the way for several recurring characters. <a href="/wiki/Nonso_Anozie" title="Nonso Anozie">Nonso Anozie</a> played Daenerys's host at Qarth, Xaro Xhoan Daxos.<a href="#cite_note-Jolie_Lash-33">[33]</a> The character differed a lot from his novel counterpart. Xaro's homosexuality, femininity and <a href="/wiki/Caucasian_race" title="Caucasian race">caucasian</a> origin were overshadowed by <a href="/wiki/Dark_skin" title="Dark skin">dark skinned</a> Anozie's masculinity and heterosexuality. Acting as one of her suitors is the treacherous warlock Pyat Pree portrayed by <a href="/wiki/Ian_Hanmore" title="Ian Hanmore">Ian Hanmore</a>. Her third and final suitor was the masked priestess Quaithe (Laura Pradelska). Specially created for the television series was the so-called "Spice King", a rich merchant from Qarth, played by <a href="/wiki/Nicholas_Blane" title="Nicholas Blane">Nicholas Blane</a>. Also an original creation of the show is the character of Talisa (<a href="/wiki/Oona_Chaplin" title="Oona Chaplin">Oona Chaplin</a>), a healer from Volantis and a romantic interest for Robb. She fills the role of another female interest of Robb's, called Jeyne Westerling, who has no similarities with Talisa whatsoever. In addition to Talisa, <a href="/wiki/Michael_McElhatton" title="Michael McElhatton">Michael McElhatton</a> joins the cast in the role of Roose Bolton, an important character in Robb Stark's storyline. Lastly, <a href="/wiki/Simon_Armstrong" title="Simon Armstrong">Simon Armstrong</a> plays the legendary Night's Watch ranger Qhorin Halfhand. Others were also added to the cast, either in a small recurring role or with reduced prominence.
