His character is the uncle of Theon and Yara Greyjoy. According to George R.R. Martin’s books, Euron is the captain of a war ship called Silence. It is named so because he himself ripped out the tongues of the crew, which is a group of mute sailors. Pilou will be joining other new members including Max von Sydow who plays the Three-Eyed Raven and Ian McShane whose role is still unknown.

The sixth season of the hit HBO series will be aired in spring 2016. The ten episodes in the season will be directed by 5 directors. Recently it was confirmed that the series will have at least eight seasons.
