Loboda

"Keep that new life you want to give us. And keep your glass, King Crow. As soon as you get on his ships, they're gonna slit your throats and dump your bodies to the bottom of the Shivering Sea. That's our enemy. That has always been our enemy."

- Loboda during the meeting. Loboda is a minor character in the fifth season. He is played by guest star Zahary Baharov and only appears in "Hardhome".

In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, there is no mention of a character named Loboda or of the presence of any Thenns at Hardhome. However, the show character plays a role similar to an unnamed, seasoned Thenn warrior mentioned in the prologue of A Dance with Dragons, who in the aftermath of Mance Rayder's defeat convinces a large group of Thenns to go back to their lands in the far north and are never heard of again. A second group of Thenns follow Styr's son Sigorn to the Wall and submit to the rule of King Stannis Baratheon. As the son of Styr, Sigorn is the new Magnar of Thenn

Loboda's threat to pluck Jon's eyes out is a nod to another Wildling chieftain from the novels who likes to do this to his enemies and is only known by the nickname of "The Weeper" among the Night's Watch. The Weeper leads 300 warriors against the Shadow Tower in conjunction with Mance's attack on Castle Black, and while he is also defeated, he lives and manages to regroup his forces, remaining a constant annoyance to the Night's Watch.
