House of the Dragon showrunner Ryan Condal suggests audiences should prepare for new character Ormund Hightower's arrival.
"He's the Lord of the Hightower, basically the Tywin Lannister [Charles Dance] of this world," Condal says in the latest issue of SFX. "He's the richest guy who's not sitting on a throne somewhere. Ormund has the largest standing army left in Westeros and a dragon, so he is going to introduce a big old wrinkle into this. Ormund is really a sketch in the book and we don't have a sense of who he is, so it was really fun diving in and creating a really deep, complex and three-dimensional character out of him that introduces a new kind of complication into the world."
