The Season 7 premiere of Game of Thrones is less than one month away and fans are preparing themselves for what will be an epic clash of family leaders.

Last season, the Iron Islands saw the rise of a new king, Euron Greyjoy, who took the Salt Throne after he murdered his older brother, Balon Greyjoy. The actor who plays the self-proclaimed leader, Pilou Asbæk, has hinted that Euron is going to be a villain unlike Game of Thrones fans have seen before.

"After this season, Ramsay's gonna look like a little kid," said Asbæk in an interview with Empire Magazine.

"The psychos I've [encountered] have so many different sides to them," he said. "So each scene I've done with Euron, I pick a new thing I wanna show. 'This scene I wanna be charming.' 'This scene I wanna be a molester.' 'This scene I wanna kill someone.'"

The revelation of Euron's next-level villainy caused both fear and excitement to erupt on Twitter.

If Euron Greyjoy is in fact a worse tyrant than Joffrey Baratheon and Ramsay Bolton, then this season is going to be a gory one.

The new season of Game of Thrones premieres July 16.
