He's the guy who kept referring to himself as "a man", and Arya as "a girl", which was kind of annoying, but how we are supposed to know he's foreign. You might remember Jaquen H'ghar, who helped Arya escape Harrenhall back in season 2. The House of Black and White is a temple to the Many Faced God, and the home of the faceless men, Braavosi assassins. Braavos sounds a lot like Venice, with canals and gondolas, but in the show, the sailor who took Arya on board at the end of Season 4 just drops her off without any ceremony at a huge building with a half black and half white door. That's where the Targaryen's - the old rulers of the seven Kingdoms whose dynasty was toppled by the rebellion led by Robert Baratheon and Ned Stark - originally came from, in the history of the books. In the books, we get to learn a bit about the "Hidden City" of Essos, founded by slaves who escaped the dragon-lords of Valyria.
In The Wars to Come, the first episode of season 5, there was no sign of Arya Stark, but everyone's favourite teenage murderess is doing just fine and the second episode starts off with her arrival in Braavos. The entire text is filled with spoilers for all events up to and including Season 5 Episode 2.
If you're keen to watch the show without spoilers, you should definitely avoid this piece. Game of Thrones' fifth season got off to a strong start last week, but for fans in India, the early morning timing could be a little inconvenient - so if you missed the S05E02 The House of Black and White episode for any reason, and can't wait for the repeat telecast to catch up on what you've missed, we are here to help you keep up with the latest developments in the story.
