[Warning: Spoilers ahead for Sunday's episode of Game of Thrones, "The House of Black and White."]

A man returns.

Jaqen H'ghar (Tom Wlaschiha) made a surprise appearance in Sunday's episode of Game of Thrones, marking the reintroduction of one of the show's deadliest characters.

Jaqen was last seen in season two in which he played an integral role to Arya's (Maisie Williams) story. He agreed to kill three people of her choosing after she saved the lives of Jaqen and his companions, who were prisoners on their way to The Wall. He eventually gave Arya a coin she could use to find him, and she finally put it to use in the season-four finale, when she took sail to Braavos to find him.


In Sunday's episode, Arya goes to a temple where she's told Jaqen will be. The face-shifting Jaqen eventually reveals himself to be a man who had told her to go away earlier. In the books, Jaqen is a member of the Faceless Men, a league of master assassins viewers will learn more about this season.

In a chat with The Hollywood Reporter Wlaschiha weighs in on Jaqen's ultimate plan and what's in store for Arya.

It's not clear at all what Jaqen wants. Will we learn more about his goals this season?

I don't really know what he wants, but we will definitely learn more about how he works and what's important to him and how the Faceless Men sect is built and what's important to them.
