" The role Mark Gatiss will play in the fourth season of Game of Thrones has been revealed. The Sherlock co-creator and star will take on the role of Tycho Nestoris, a representative of the Iron Bank of Braavos, in the upcoming season of the HBO fantasy drama.   His casting was announced in July but details of the role have been kept a close-guarded secret until now.  The character of Nestoris appears in the fifth and sixth of George RR Martin&amp;#039;s novels, A Dance with Dragons and The Winds of Winter.  He arrives in Westeros in search of Stannis Baratheon in order to negotiate repayment of a debt owed by the Iron Throne.  The character is described in the books as tall, gaunt and having a long beard. It is thought that the role will be minor as Gatiss filmed over a relatively short period of time. The 46-year-old previously revealed that he has been &amp;quot;overwhelmed&amp;quot; by the positive reaction to his casting. Game of Thrones returns to HBO in the US and Sky Atlantic in the UK in early 2014. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
