The fourth season of Game of Thrones kicks off this Sunday, April 6th, and the show — as it does every season — is adding lots of new characters. That is necessary on a show that has killed off nearly 100 characters over three seasons, although new faces often mean more plotlines, which often means less screen time for some of the favorites and a tad more confusion in the opening episodes as we adjust to all the new faces. To help ease you into the fourth season premiere, I’ve done some quick background search on 16 of the new faces set to join the fourth season — in small roles and large — so that you can familiarize yourself ahead of the premiere.

1. Jessica Jensen (unknown role) is a British adult film actress, who has appeared in over 30 (hardcore) adult films since 2011. In fact, she was also named best newcomer. You can follow her on Twitter, and her work is very easy to find (link to page that links to NSFW videos).

3. Sarine Sofair (Lhara) is primarily a British stage actress, though she did appear as a friend of the title character in Keira Knightley’s Anna Karenina. You can follow her on Twitter.

4. Aeryn Walker (Craster’s wife) is an Australian amateur adult film actress. She is really excited about her small role on Game of Thrones. “F**k Yeah!”

5. Joseph Gatt (Thenn Warg) was the Albino in Banshee, the Frost Giant villain, Grundroth, in Thor, and the motion capture performer and likeness for Kratos from the acclaimed video game God Of War. Here’s a terrifying photo of him with a cat on his Twitter. (The woman in the photo with him below is his girlfriend Mercy Malick, who is also an actress).

6. Pedro Pascal (Prince Oberyn Martell, known as the “Red Viper of Dorne”) was in The Adjustment Bureau, recurring in The Good Wife and Lights Out (among many other things) and, apparently, is dating American Horror Story actress Sarah Paulson.

Sarah is gay. Pedro is about to embark on a torrid affair with one MEW : )

8. Mark Gatiss (Tycho Nestoris) is many things, most notably a writer on Doctor Who and Sherlock, where he has also played roles (including Mycroft in Sherlock). He’s obviously a very popular British actor, and is married (civilly) to another British actor, Ian Hallard.
