Game of Thrones just over a month away on April 12, fans are more excited for the show�s new season than Sansa Stark would be for lemon cakes baked with Lannister blood. So, we figured now was as good a time as any to take a look at some of the characters we know have been added to the new season who will potentially be making an impact in the awe-inspiring brutality that is George R.R. Martin�s mythos.

Coming into Season 5, we are put in the somewhat unprecedented situation where both fans who have read the extravagantly long books AND casual fans of the show will both seemingly be left in the dark as to how things will play out. It seems that George R.R. Martin�s notoriously slow pace at finishing the latest book in the �A Song of Ice and Fire� series, The Winds of Winter, has left the show�s masterminds, David Benoif and D.B. Weiss, to make serious alterations to the literary storyline, which should move past the point of the source material, soon. In fact, deaths that did not occur in the books will apparently happen in the show this season. With that in mind, here are 5 important new characters that we\'re most looking forward to seeing in Game of Thrones Season 5.

Keep in mind, there are some SPOILERS in the coming paragraphs. We didn\'t go into a ton of details, but information from the "Song of Ice and Fire" books is explored.

The often-mentioned, but never-seen head of House Martell and Prince Sovereign of Dorne, Doran (Alexander Siddig) will be a serious player in Season 5. The older brother of the late Oberyn, Doran has been become somewhat of a recluse after being debilitated by a long ordeal with gout. However, he is still very much in tune with the shifting political landscape of Westeros and seems to know that things are coming to a head, specifically with the Lannisters. Or does he?

The Prince is portrayed in the books as an individual who keeps his cards close to his chest. This apparent dilatory mindfulness will put him in direct odds with Oberyn�s daughters, The Sand Snakes, who are outright attempting to get a war effort going in reaction to their father�s death. However, Doran is not making any moves and, in an angle in the show that dramatically alters events of the books, he even welcomes a visit from Jaime Lannister. He will arrive in Dorne to see his niece/daughter, Myrcella Baratheon (recast with Nell Tiger Free), who was sent to Dorne by Tyrion during his run as Hand of the King in what was not only a move to gain leverage against Cersei, but an attempt to bolster a potential alliance with Dorne by marrying her to Doran�s son, Prince Trystane Martell. However, Doran is a calculating individual and his true motives remain hidden, for now.
