The Iron Bank of Braavos played a small but pivotal role in Season 4 of HBO's Game of Thrones, and one of the faces of the bank will be back for Season 5.

EW.com reports Sherlock co-creator, writer, producer and actor Mark Gatiss will return as Tycho Nestoris in the fifth season of the mega-hit show. He should be back on the set in Croatia next week.

The actor and character first appeared in the Season 4 episode "The Laws of Gods and Men." He and the bank agreed to fund Stannis Baratheon's war effort to reclaim the Iron Throne from the Lannisters, who are in major debt to the bank. Naturally, the bank is not happy about this, so they've decided to sneakily fund the enemy in order to get the Lannisters out of power.

In other Thrones news, reports earlier this week said a key Season 5 scene with Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) had hit a snag. TMZ reported the crucial scene depicts Cersei walking out of a church through the streets of King's Landing without any clothes on in the Game of Thrones version of a walk of shame. The crew planned to film this scene in Dubrovnik, Croatia, but the Church of St. Nicholas had stopped the crew from getting the appropriate permits to film the scene.

But EW spoke to the show's producers at the HBO Emmy party on Monday night and the producers assured the site that the problem was "old news" and that the show had secured a new location for the scene a while ago. The crew does not film the scene until at least a month from now.
