The High Septon is a character played by Paul Bentley who debuts in "Second Sons". "High Septon" is the title given to the head of the Faith of the Seven, the dominant religion of the Seven Kingdoms. It is a position of supreme authority within the Faith, but the holder has little power outside of the religion. This High Septon was appointed after his predecessor was killed in the riots of King's Landing.

In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire books, the preceding High Septon is killed in the riot of King's Landing. Tyrion influences the Most Devout to choose this High Septon to replace him.
Tyrion scornfully describes the new High Septon as "a trained seal who barks prettily on command".
When a new High Septon assumes office, he renounces his given name and ever after becomes known simply as "the High Septon", so the name of this particular High Septon is never revealed.
