Mere hours are left until the premiere of the eight episode of the hit HBO series Game of Thrones, featuring a performance by Bulgarian actor Zahari Baharov in the role of a leader of a cannibal tribe.

The brand new episode will be broadcast shortly after midnight on Monday.

Meanwhile, the official preview is now available and gives a brief glimpse of the performance of the Bulgarian actor.

The video depicts the meeting between Tyrion Lannister and Daenerys Targaryen, then goes on to Ramsay Bolton, then to Sansa and Theon Greyjoy. It also features a glimpse of the imprisoned Cersei Lannister and then the story goes on to the far north, where John Snow travels to meet with the cannibals, asking for their support during the upcoming winter.

It is exactly there that Snow meets with Lord Loboda, portrayed by Zahari Baharov.

''My ancestors would spit on me if I broke bread with a crow,'' were the first words of the actor featured in the preview.

In a TV interview of last week, Baharov also alluded to the fact that his character might be featured in the sixth season of the hit show.
