Rorge

Rorge is a character in Game of Thrones. He is played by Andy Beckwith and will debut in the second season.

Rorge is a criminal, forcibly recruited into the Night's Watch by Yoren during his visit to King's Landing. He is accompanying the rest of Yoren's new recruits northwards to the Wall.

In the books
In the Song of Ice and Fire novels, Rorge was a petty thug in King's Landing. He ran a dog and bear-fighting pit in the city and had his protege Biter fight in the pit for money. The pit was shut down and both were arrested and cast into the cells of the Red Keep shortly before Yoren found them and forcibly recruited them into the Watch. Due to their dangerous nature, Rorge, Biter and Jaqen H'ghar are locked in a wagon for their journey northwards.

Behind the scenes
Fans have speculated that Rorge was one of three figures seen in the back of Yoren's wagon in the final episode of the first episode. However, Andy Beckwith was not cast in the role until filming was underway on Season 2. Whether one of those characters was meant to be Rorge and the role has been effectively recast is something that is not clear.
