Paul Blackthorne's role in Star Wars Battlefront II has been revealed.

After Blackthorne responded to a fan's inquiry on Twitter regarding the identity of his Battlefront II character, the official EA Star Wars Twitter account retweeted his post, confirming the actor will play an an Inferno Squad member named Gideon Hask.

Blackthorn, best known for his role as Quentin Lance in The CW series Arrow, joins True Blood's Janina Gavankar, who will play the protagonist of Star Wars Battlefront II, Inferno Squad leader Iden Versio. While Blackthorn was shown briefly in a behind-the-scenes video for Battlefront II this past weekend at Star Wars Celebration, no details about his role were provided at that time.

Star Wars Battlefront II will release for PS4, Xbox One and PC on November 17. The upcoming sequel won't have a season pass, but will feature offline local co-op on console.
