Game of Thrones is expanding on its cast once more with the addition of Spartacus: Vengeance actor Joe Naufahu, who has been cast in the sixth season of the show for a "multi-episode arc", with no other details revealed in regards to his character.

Despite this, it hasn't stopped fans and websites from speculating as to who he might be playing, with rumours floating around that he could be playing either Qhogo or Akrat, or the 'Fierce Warrior' which the show was looking for in an earlier casting breakdown revealed a few months back.

Qhogo and Akrat are successful warriors who "need to be tall, confident, with swagger and linguistic bravado", with the ability to learn and "speak in a fictional language" - obviously a pair that will be joining the Dothraki horde following season five's events.

However, neither Qhogo or Akrat are going to be the leaders of the khalasar, and that position is also now up for grabs, as in the novels Khal Jhaqo leads. That character has not been mentioned so far in the show, and so there's a chance that the Khal could be played by Naufahu himself - enough to warrant his multi-episode arc.

Game of Thrones season 6 premieres on HBO and Sky Atlantic in the spring.
