Just when you thought he couldn’t get any more unscrupulous, Game of Thrones’ Tywin Lannister (Charles Dance) has gone and crowned himself Emperor Emhyr var Emreis of the Nilfgaardian Empire.
CD Projekt RED describes Lannister Dance as the ”perfect candidate” thanks to his veterancy in acting and ”magnetic personality.” Plus he plays a great medieval bastard already.

”Charles Dance is the perfect candidate to play the mighty Nilfgaardian emperor in our upcoming title. It’s a dream come true for the team here at RED to be able to work with such an accomplished actor and magnetic personality,” said lead writer Marcin Blacha. Just yesterday the studio released a new ’Killing Monsters’ CGI trailer.
