There are new characters coming to "Game of Thrones" in Season 5 and the show was nice enough to give us a little video of the cast members who will be playing them.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, many of the new characters are related to the now deceased Oberyn Martell. Let's start with Oberyn's family members:

Trystane Martell - Played by Toby Sebastian ("After the Dark"). Trystane is Doran Martell's son and heir to Dorne.

Doran Martell - Played by Alexander Siddig ("Atlantis," "24," "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine"). Doran is Oberyn's older brother and the ruler of Dorne.

Obara Sand - Played by Keisha Castle-Hughes ("Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith"). Obara is the oldest bastard daughter of Obeyrn. Let's just say she's very skilled when it comes to fighting.

Nymeria ("Nym") Sand - Played by Jessica Henwick ("Silk"). Nym is the second-oldest bastard daughter of Oberyn. Her weapon of choice: The whip.

Tyene Sand - Played by Rosabell Laurenti Sellers ("Mia and Me"). Tyene is a daughter of Oberyn's by Ellaria Sand. Her weapon of choice: Twin Daggers.

Here are the other characters joining the show in Season 5:

Myrcella Baratheon - Played by Nell Tiger Free ("Broken"). Myrcella is Jamie and Cersei's son. She has been living in Dorne. (The part of Myrcella was previously played by Aimee Richardson.)

Areo Hotah - Played by DeObia Oparei ("Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides"). Areo is a captain in Doran's palace guard. His weapon of choice: The Longaxe.

High Sparrow - Played by Jonathan Pryce ("Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End"). High Sparrow seems to be a philanthropist of sorts who makes his way to King's Landing to serve the poor and needy. He starts to become quite popular.

Yezzan - Played by Enzo Cilenti ("NCIS," "Guardians of the Galaxy"). He was a rich slave trader prior to Daenerys' takeover.

With last season's mind-blowing death of Oberyn it's fun to think about how his family will respond and what role they'll play in Season 5. Judging by how much Oberyn's daughters like weapons, the Martell family has the potential to be scary.

"Game of Thrones" returns in 2015.
