On Mace Tyrell: On Oberyn Martell: [He is the son of Olenna Tyrell.] He is handsome and a once powerful looking man, but has since turned to fat. He has curly brown hair and cuts his beard into a triangular shape that has white spots within it. He is a prematurely old and tedious man lacking in political savvy. His sole military accomplishment was the Siege of Storm’s End. Though he has tried to use the Battle of Ashford as evidence of strategic brilliance, he actually had little to do with the fighting as the battle was won by his vanguard, led by Randyll Tarly, before his main force entered the field. On Ellaria Sand: Oberyn has a lined face with thin eyebrows, black “viper” eyes and a sharp nose. His hair is lustrous and black with only a few silver streaks and recedes from his brow into a widow’s peak. Oberyn is a forceful, lusty man with a quick wit and barbed tongue. He studied at the Citadel for a while, and apparently forged several maester links but eventually grew bored and left the order. Oberyn had traveled the world, and even founded his own mercenary company. He had a very close relationship with his sister Elia and they were inseparable as children. Yorick Van Wageningen was recently seen in a audition tape for the role of Styr, The Magnar of Thenn. The footage has been pulled but the fact that he has auditioned for the role can not be.
