The big episode of Game of Thrones season 8 is almost here. In other words, many characters are about to be killed.
It's this weekend that the actors and the team have teased for what looks like eternities: the struggle between the living and the dead.
At the end of last week, the White Walkers arrived at Winterfell, ready to shoot down some of Westeros' most beloved characters. Remember that there are only four episodes left on the HBO show before the end of the show. This new episode will undoubtedly be many victims.
We will tell you what is true. You can form your own view.

We tried to predict which characters of the creators David Benioff and DB Weiss decided to make the selection, while the eighth and last season comes halfway.
Scroll down the gallery below to see all the candidates for death – at least most likely.
1/22 22. Samwell Tarly
If Samans Tarly is convinced not to be the author of "Game of Thrones", he should survive such battles to document them. A lucky guy.
HBO
2/22 21.Jon Snow
Let's be honest: Jon Snow – the real heir to the iron throne – is going to have a confrontation with Cersei at King's Landing, so that counts for his death at the Battle of Winterfell.
HBO
3/22 20. Sansa Stark
The Winterfell Lady is our bet to be the last girl standing, so she will live to fight another day.
HBO
4/22 19. Tyrion Lannister
Put Tyrion Lannister as another character who probably needs a confrontation with Cersei so that fans do not feel shaken by his story. As a result, Tyrion will survive the battle with the White Walkers and all the frightening things that the Winterfell crypts have in store.
HBO
5/22 18. Jaime Lannister
Many fans think that Jaime Lannister will not leave the series alive – and for good reason! anyone fighting the army of the undead with only one fighting hand risks dying. But he will surely not meet his creator before seeing Cersei again.
HBO
6/22 17. Arya Stark
The smart money lies in the fact that Arya is a crucial cog in the defeat of the Night King; this clever weapon forged in Dragonglbad by Gendry will certainly help. Could Arya die in the process? This is unlikely.
HBO
7/22 16. Daenerys Targaryen
At first glance, Daenerys is an obvious candidate to survive the episode. She is the mother of dragons, after all. However, if one of the main characters must die, it will surely be Dany who will be on the block. His state of mind has undoubtedly been stunned as a result of the recent discovery that Jon is a surviving Targaryen who could divert his chances of sitting on the iron throne.
HBO
8/22 15. Gilly
We hope that Gilly will survive because we need at least one relationship on this series to survive!
HBO
9/22 14. Missandei
Missandei will likely be alongside Daenerys when she visits King's Landing. Nevertheless, if the episode of this week wants to rid the series of dead wood, Missandei could be a victim of imminent slaughter.
HBO
10/22 13. Ser Davos Seaworth
In the last episode, Davos reminded viewers how fortunate he was to survive the Battle of the Bastards, which gives us the impression that the series prepares him for a fall. Despite this, we can not help but think that Davos – one of the true good-natured people still alive in Westeros – has an untouchable nature in him. We would like to see the character coming out of the series alive.
HBO
11/22 12. Sandor "The Dog" Clegane
The Dog will die at one time or another in this series – probably protecting Arya. From this we are sure. But the idea that this is happening at Winterfell and not King's Landing – which would turn his arc – seems a little disappointing. The Hound will live to fight another day – a few more weeks.
HBO
12/22 11. Ser Jorah Mormont
Jorah Mormont receives Heartsbane – Sam Tarly's sword in dragonglbad – improves his chances of surviving ten times more. If you want a weapon, that's it. Yet with Dany's right arm, Tyrion, locked in the crypts, could Ser Jorah prove his worth and sacrifice himself for his Khaleesi? This is not out of the question.
HBO
13/22 10. Podrick Payne
The most cynical viewers might think that Podrick will sing at the end of last week's episode to remind that he's still alive and well alive – just to make his eventual death during the battle even more impactful.
HBO
14/22 9. Gendry Baratheon
If Gendry dies, it will protect Arya Stark. That's what you get to start a relationship with someone the night before the biggest battle of your life.
HBO
15/22 8. Ser Brienne from Tarth
Brienne dying after realizing his ambition to become a knight would be an appropriate end to the beloved character. She will be at the center of the battle, so her survival will be a welcome surprise.
HBO
16/22 7. Bran Stark
Bran is a tough guy. Last week he turned out to be the real target of the king of the night, putting his life in danger of death. But he is well protected – Theon, Jon and two great dragons. That said, what is really Bran's goal in the series once the White Walkers are gone?
HBO
17/22 6. Varies
"I have to die in this strange country, just like you," Melisandre told Varys in season seven, confirming the death of the Spider. For battle, it will be hidden in the crypts of Winterfell, although many have pointed out that these tombs containing undead Starks could be much more dangerous than originally intended. Varys is a very beloved character, but whose absence would not change the last stages of the series. In short, we are worried about Varys.
HBO
18/22 5. gray worm
The very moment when Gray Worm had a conversation about her future with Missandei sealed her fate. This guy will die – the question is: will it be during this battle or in the hands of Cersei's army?
HBO
19/22 4. Theon Greyjoy
Oh, Theon. Because of his terrible actions at the start of the series, he is on a major redemption bow and has promised to protect Bran in the next battle. The fact that Bran is the target of the king of the night places him in the line of sight. It can not be denied that it would be a heartbreaking moment to see Theon sacrifice himself to protect the only true homeland he has ever known.
HBO
20/22 3. Tormund Giantsbane
Tormund seems destined to die defending Jon Snow of the White Walkers. In all honesty, it would be a great way for his character to leave, since it was first introduced as a Wildling there are all those seasons. Also, let 's remember that he had a crazy giant anecdote in the episode last week. It's nice to know you, Tormund.
HBO
21/22 2. Beric Dondarrion
Frankly, Beric is a character whose ability to resurrect is literally the only thing that kept him alive in this show. We know that his ability to do it has now disappeared – and probably for a good reason. He had already faced a confrontation with the king of the night, but can he get away alive from another? We think it will be Beric and the final position of his flaming sword.
HBO
22/22 1. The king of the night
We predict that the king of the night will be defeated – the question is who will kill him. It goes without saying that he will leave a lot of damage in his wake, but he has to go for the show to focus on the ultimate – and final – fight for the iron throne.
HBO
1/22 22. Samwell Tarly
If Samans Tarly is convinced not to be the author of "Game of Thrones", he should survive such battles to document them. A lucky guy.
HBO
2/22 21.Jon Snow
Let's be honest: Jon Snow – the real heir to the iron throne – is going to have a confrontation with Cersei at King's Landing, so that counts for his death at the Battle of Winterfell.
HBO
3/22 20. Sansa Stark
The Winterfell Lady is our bet to be the last girl standing, so she will live to fight another day.
HBO
4/22 19. Tyrion Lannister
Put Tyrion Lannister as another character who probably needs a confrontation with Cersei so that fans do not feel shaken by his story. As a result, Tyrion will survive the battle with the White Walkers and all the frightening things that the Winterfell crypts have in store.
HBO
5/22 18. Jaime Lannister

Missandei will likely be alongside Daenerys when she visits King's Landing. Nevertheless, if the episode of this week wants to rid the series of dead wood, Missandei could be a victim of imminent slaughter.

The fact that Bran is the target of the king of the night places him in the line of sight. It can not be denied that it would be a heartbreaking moment to see Theon sacrifice himself to protect the only true homeland he has ever known.

HBO
22/22 1. The king of the night
We predict that the king of the night will be defeated – the question is who will kill him. It goes without saying that he will leave a lot of damage in his wake, but he has to go for the show to focus on the ultimate – and final – fight for the iron throne.
HBO
An intriguing theory postulates that a key character might come back in the third episode – although some people think that he may have appeared at the disguised outing of last week.
You can find all the pictures of the big episode of the battle here, as well as a ranking of each episode of the series here.
The last season of Game of thrones continue every Sunday.
Our detailed ranking of each character in the series – from worst to best – is presented below.
1/70 70. Rickon Stark
Undoubtedly the most annoying Stark kid – an awesome feat next to Bran – Rickon's at least seen giving a damn scene of death: carried off by an arrow gracefully provided by Ramsay Bolton.
HBO
2/70 69. Robin Arryn
Most Thrones fans remember Robin Arryn as the 10-year-old bad-fed (still strange) mother. That's about it.
HBO
3/70 68. Renly Baratheon
The Rickon of the Baratheon brothers. His claim to the iron throne was tenuous, considering that his older brother, Stannis, was still alive. When the monster from Stannis' shadow came to kill him, it was only good news for the series.
HBO
4/70 67. sheet
Leaf, one of the mythical Children of the Forest series, is perhaps mysterious, but his noble sacrifice to save Bran, Meera and Hodor from a horde of warriors robbed him of any value.
HBO
5/70 66. Tommen Baratheon
Another boring younger brother. While Joffrey was pure evil, Tommen was innocent and inevitably very boring. Her cat, Ser Pounce, was an badet to the show.
HBO
6/70 65. Lysa Arryn
Lysa, Catelyn Stark's frightening sister, was seen for the first time with Robin Arryn, her 10-year-old son, tied to his chest. His death – being pushed through the moon gate – could not have happened sooner.
HBO
7/70 64. Benjen Stark
Having disappeared in the first season, Benjen returned in the sixth season to save his nephew, Bran. The moment was a surprise for viewers – book readers, however, had long speculated that Coldhands was an undead version of the Stark.
HBO
8/70 63. Syrio Forel
The unhappy appearance of Syrio in season 1 was a formative experience for an Arya Stark (Maisie Williams); It's him who helped her become the avenging murderer that fans know and love today.
HBO
9/70 62. Jeor Mormont
Jorah Mormont's father, Jeor was an honorable leader of Night Watch – perhaps through a fault. After giving Long Snow's sword to Jon Snow, Mormont inadvertently showed the Stark bastard that Valerian's steel could cut through the White Walkers.
HBO
10/70 61. Roose Bolton
Let's be honest: it's hard to like a character like Roose Bolton, the man who orchestrated the violent Red Wedding – the most infamous scene of the six-year history of the series that saw the death of Robb, Catelyn and Talisa.
HBO
11/70 60. Ellaria Sand
Ellaria Sand may have been a more seductive creation on the page, but in the series, her on-screen time unfortunately returns to react when loved ones are killed in a more and more horrible way.
HBO
12/70 59. Grand Maester Pycell
Pycell had secretly seen many things in his day, but there is an element of "unsatisfied potential" in Glover's character whose late betrayal of Cersei Lannister put a scary end to his luxury life at King's. Landing.
HBO
13/70 58. three-eyed raven
Perhaps it was Max von Sydow's cast that reinforced the anticipation for the three-eyed crow of the series, but the story without conviction leaves much to be desired.
HBO
14/70 57. Gilly
Gilly's long journey from Craster's Donjon to Winterfell seems exciting on paper. But, unfortunately, she was a pbadenger for too long in Sam's trip.
HBO
15/70 56. Daario Naharis
The man who won the heart of Daenerys Targaryen, only to be left behind at Essos. Ed Skrein played the character originally, but was soon replaced after the actor got a role in Deadpool.
HBO
16/70 55. Shae
Oh Shea. His unfortunate betrayal – sleeping with Tywin (Charles Dance) – was a slap in the face not only for his lover Tyrion, but also for the viewer.
HBO
17/70 54. gray worm
Chief of Usulliés, the Gray Worm remains unshakable – except around Missandei. Although their romance can be comforting, it is difficult to invest in two characters also in wood.
HBO
18/70 53. Talisa Maegyr
To be fair to Robb Stark's wife, Talisa, if she had avoided being murdered in the most horrific way during the red wedding, she would probably have been higher on this list. Alas.
HBO
19/70 52. Shireen Baratheon
All that Shireen, who was suffering from greyness, had always wanted to read, was to read stories in her room, but because of her tireless father, Stannis, she was tragically reduced to ashes after being sacrificed to the Lord of the Light.
HBO
20/70 51. Viserys Targaryen
Viserys wanted at all costs the iron throne, giving his own sister in exchange for an army. Dany, however, had other projects. Her new husband, Khal Drogo, covering Viserys from melted gold was one of the most memorable death scenes in the series.
HBO
21/70 50. Maester Luwin
The kind Maester Luwin was one of the friendliest characters of the first seasons, becoming a substitute father for Bran and Rickon, while the Starks endured horrors elsewhere. He was finally killed when Ramsay Bolton took over Winterfell.
HBO
22/70 49. Thoros of Myr
Thoros spent most of his time on the resurrecting Beric show and was recently seen brandishing his flaming sword alongside Jon Snow behind the wall.
HBO
23/70 48. Mance Rayder
Ciaran Hinds brought an intensity to Mance Rayder, a character who would otherwise be lost in the crowd. As a result, his death at the hands of Mélisandre was unexpected.
HBO
24/70 47. Podrick Payne
True to his habits, Podrick Payne has become a fan favorite for his amazing courage in the face of adversity. He and Brienne de Tarth form an excellent duo.
HBO / Helen Sloan
25/70 46. Euron Greyjoy
While Euron Greyjoy only joined the show in the sixth season, his presence was immediately felt. A generic character, Greyjoy's selfish and greedy nature of power has been fascinating to watch.
HBO
26/70 45. Jaqen H & # 39; ghar
Jaqen H & # 39; ghar – a faceless men of Braavos – had such a promise, but ended up being the one who had rang Arya's story of the energy she had had previously, alongside The Hound (Rory McCann).
HBO
27/70 34. Missandei
Missandei has somehow succeeded in gaining strength in the new world order by being Dany's advisor. However, her nature on stilts can make some encounters difficult, but at least she and Gray Worm are happy together.
HBO
28/70 43. Ygritte
Ygritte – Wild Snowling lover Jon Snow – will be part of the legend of Thrones for providing the series with the famous phrase often quoted: "You do not know anything, Jon Snow." Spoken with a northern accent, of course.
HBO
29/70 42. Hot Pie
Has an actor ever been more suited to a role? After all, Ben Hawkey then ran his own bakery, selling even Thrones-themed products.
HBO
30/70 41. Walder Frey
One of the orchestrators of the red wedding, Walder Frey was a rowdy and terrifying villain. When Arya unmasks and kills the old man, it's a sweet and gentle moment of revenge.
HBO
31/70 40. Bran Stark
That says a lot about the fact that Bran Stark has become slightly more interesting since he's sacrificed his personality to become the spiritualistic heart of the series. His role in the last season should be huge, with the long-standing theory that he could become the fearsome Night King.
HBO
32/70 39. Gendry
The true heir to the iron throne. Gendry may have spent a few seasons paddling at sea, but his return suggests great things to come for the Baratheon bastard.
HBO
33/70 38. Yara Greyjoy
Lily Allen was initially sought after for the role of Theon's sister. However, she refused: "I felt uncomfortable because I should have ridden and that he would have touched me and screwed me up. Whereas Allen's brother, Alfie, had already been chosen for Theon, it was probably for the better.
HBO
34/70 37. Robert Baratheon
Mark Addy brought some gravitas to Robert Baratheon, making him a terribly tired king. Although having only a few scenes, the presence of his character is still felt in the series thanks to Gendry.
HBO
35/70 36. Barristan Selmy
After being fired by the Lannisters, Selmy swore allegiance to Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke), bridging the gap between two of the main characters in the series. He was also a good warrior.
HBO
36/70 35. Margaery Tyrell
Margaery Tyrell was one of the greatest players in Game of Thrones. She started in the Lannister family's politics and became queen for a spell. Her number was at the moment when she had made herself the enemy of Cersei, and her death by fire, though disappointing, was a huge moment.
HBO
37/70 34. Osha
Underutilized Osha was our very first savage, an unpredictable danger that threatened a knife for the characters we loved. Her subsequent evolution into Stark maid was very interesting, which meant she was sidelined for several seasons, before being brought back just to be offended unceremoniously, a travesty.
HBO
38/70 33. Samwell Tarly
According to one theory, Samwell Tarly, who trains as a maester, is actually the author of the song Song of Ice and Fire – AKA, the book series. In other words, Sam is George RR Martin. Go understand.
HBO
39/70 32. the mountain
Clegane's older brother known as The Mountain – who is now a zombie servant of Cersei – may not have met many characters in the series, but his presence is known to everyone in Westeros. His greatest moment? Hit the head of poor Oberyn in a porridge.
HBO
40/70 31. Ramsay Bolton
Ramsey cut Theon's penis and sent it to Greyjoy's father. He imprisoned and raped Sansa Stark. He killed Rickon Stark in front of his brother. And Ramsay finally died while feeding his own dogs. A terrifying death for a terrible human.
HBO
41/70 30. king of the night
The incarnation of evil. Why, exactly, the king of the night is heading south to destroy humanity, remains a mystery. But, whatever the reason, he is a terrifying enemy. As the Starks say, the winter is finally here.
HBO
42/70 29. Beric Dondarrion
Beric danced on the periphery of the series until his third season, when he appeared as the leader of the Brotherhood Without Banners. His introduction paved the way for the Lord of Light's ability to resurrect the dead, a mystical subcompact that was to become very important for Jon Snow.
HBO
43/70 28. Theon Greyjoy
While Theon begins as an arrogant child, having been sterilized by Ramsay, he becomes the boring Reek. Fortunately, Theon returns in the last seasons, but not without we still hated his courage for not saving Sansa earlier.
HBO
44/70 27. Khal Drogo
For the whole world, he is now Aquaman, but for a brief moment, Jason Momoa was Khal Drogo, the beloved husband of Dothraki, his Khaleesi, Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke).
HBO
45/70 26. The great sparrow
Although apparently a wise old man, the High Sparrow quickly becomes a nasty tactical, utilizing his newly acquired powers under King Tommen to turn King's Landing into his own domain.
HBO
46/70 25. Jon Snow
Each show needs a hero, and they are not more obvious than Jon Snow. From bastard abandoned to King of the North, his rise was one of the best scenarios in the series. It is unfortunate that Snow can be such a bland person, doing only what is right and apparently having no blemish.
HBO
47/70 24. Stannis Baratheon
With his propensity to make difficult decisions for the greater good, Stannis could have been a heroic warrior. However, the continual fall of Brother Baratheon – including the sacrifice of his own daughter and the badbadination of his own brother – was a terrible decision that ultimately sentenced him.
HBO
48/70 23. Hodor
Once you understand that Kristian Nairn was essentially paid to repeat the word "Hodor" many times, it is hard to deny that the protector of Bran Stark was a comforting addition to the series. His death – the breathtaking sequence "Hold the Door" – will remain as one of the most memorable moments of the series.
HBO
49/70 22. Melisandre
Let's not forget that Melisandre is actually an old shriveled witch who has been manipulating men for hundreds of years. His faith in the Lord of the Light could, however, be misplaced.
HBO
50/70 21. Tywin Lannister
Stannis was a horrible father. His two favorite children became incestuous lovers and he blamed his younger brother for the death of his wife. Without Tywin, however, the Lannister family would not be as fascinating as it is to watch.
HBO
51/70 20. Arya Stark
Arya Stark, arguably the greatest character of the early seasons, was one of the biggest victims in the series, surpbading the sources of George RR Martin. Son peu de temps devant l’écran, en raison de son éloignement de l’action centrale, nous a volé des moments clbadiques, dont nous sommes certains qu’elle sera au cœur de la huitième et dernière saison.
HBO
52/70 19. Tormund Giantsbane
Tormund a certaines des meilleures lignes de la série, notamment lorsqu'il exprime son admiration pour Brienne. Voici l'une des moins explicites: "Je veux faire des bébés avec elle. Pensez-y. De grands monstres. Ils conquerront le monde!"
HBO
53/70 18. Oberyn
Peu de spectacles peuvent amener des personnages à mi-parcours qui ont un impact aussi important que Oberyn. La Viper est rapidement devenue la favorite des fans et sa mort reste l’un des moments les plus douloureux de la série.
HBO
54/70 17. Olenna Tyrell
Les scènes d'Olenna étaient toujours à chérir. La reine des épines était aussi sournoise que les meilleures et semblait pouvoir se sortir de n'importe quelle situation, le tout confortablement installé dans son propre fauteuil.
HBO
55/70 16. Jorah Mormont
Pauvre Ser Jorah. Dany a peut-être 25 ans de moins que lui, mais cela n'a jamais empêché le guerrier déshonoré de l'aimer. Il a même combattu Gray Scale pour se battre à ses côtés. Si ce n'est pas le vrai amour, alors qu'est-ce que c'est?
HBO
56/70 15. Davos Seaworth
La performance de Liam Cunningham en tant que courageux Davos Seaworth a été l'une des meilleures choses à propos de la série depuis son introduction. En tant que conseiller royal de Jon Snow, il s'est récemment vu plonger au cœur de la série et, tout simplement, Game of Thrones serait un spectacle moins agréable sans lui.
HBO
57/70 14. Eddard "Ned" Stark
Tuer un personnage principal lors de la première saison d'un spectacle était pratiquement inconnu avant Game of Thrones. Pourtant, comme le dictaient les livres de George RR Martin, ils coupèrent la tête de Sean Bean sans hésiter, donnant le ton à tout ce qui allait arriver. Aucune mort n'a autant touché les Trônes depuis.
HBO
58/70 13. Daenerys Targaryen
"Daenerys Stormborn de la Maison Targaryen, première de son nom, la non brûlée, reine des Andals et les premiers hommes, Khaleesi de la grande mer d'herbe, briseur de chaînes et mère de dragons." Chaque fois que Dany rencontre une nouvelle personne, elle force Missandei à lire son CV en entier. Je suppose que tout le monde le ferait si le leur était aussi impressionnant. Dany a vraiment eu un bon voyage au sommet – dommage qu'elle n'ait pas pu venir à Westeros un peu plus tôt.
HBO
59/70 12. Varie
Au début de la série, il était difficile de cerner Varys, une anguille glissante d'un personnage dont les "petits oiseaux" voltigent autour de Westeros et qui fournissent des informations cruciales. À l'aube de la dernière saison, ses véritables intentions sont claires: il est tout pour que Daenerys prenne le Trône de fer, même s'il ne vit pas pour voir le jour («Je dois mourir dans cet étrange pays, tout comme vous», a prophétisé Melisandre la saison dernière).
HBO
60/70 11. Bronn
Peut-être le meilleur side-kick de la série, Bronn n'a qu'une loyauté: l'argent. Jumelé à l'un des garçons de Lannister, Tyrion ou Jaime, Bronn est une excellente compagnie.
HBO
61/70 10. Robb Stark
Avant de garde du corps, Richard Madden était le roi extrêmement temporaire de Westeros. Robb était un homme d'honneur qui tentait d'éclairer l'univers de Trônes. C'était une présence sympathique qui régnait avec son cœur, un acte qui l'a finalement vu mourir lors du tristement célèbre mariage rouge de la saison trois.
HBO
62/70 9. Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish
Il n'y aurait pas de Game of Thrones sans Littlefinger. The silver-tongued manipulator had Jon Arryn killed, setting off a snowball that turned into an avalanche. As smart as he may have been, Littlefinger was finally outplayed by his own pupil, Sansa Stark.
HBO
63/70 8. Brienne of Tarth
Brienne is a rebaduring force of good in a world filled with scheming layabouts. She's also one of the most deadly. Her time on the series has been spent protecting the likes of Renly Baratheon, Catelyn Stark and Jaime Lannister, the latter of which made for an interesting turn as it put her at odds with her loyalty.
HBO
64/70 7. Sansa Stark
Sansa has perhaps had the most interesting story arc of any character on Thrones. Beginning as a clichéd annoying teenager, she gradually became a stone-cold killer, capable of holding Winterfell and outsmarting even Littlefinger. With any luck, she could sit upon the Iron Throne when the war is over.
HBO
65/70 6. Sandor "The Hound" Clegane
From his regular delivery of the phrase"F** the king" to this chicken scene, The Hound is a reckless creation whose high ranking on this list can be attributed to the searing performance from Rory McCann. Most effective when paired with Arya Stark.
HBO
66/70 5. Joffrey Baratheon
No character has been as hated by the fandom as Joffrey. His wicked ways and disgusting behaviour haunted the show's first four seasons. You never knew what was going to come next: whether he was about to behead your favourite character or start crying to his mother. It made for thrilling television. But, as The Hound says, "F**k the King".
HBO
67/70 4. Catelyn Stark
The lady of Winterfell, Catelyn Stark, became the show's honorary lead after the untimely beheading of her husband, Ned (Sean Bean) at the end of season one. As she tried to take control of spiralling events in the second and third run, Thrones was handed its most resilient character. Michelle Fairley's guttural cry of anguish before meeting her tragic end during the Red Wedding will always be the show's most horrific moment.
HBO
68/70 3. Jaime Lannister
If the characters above Jaime in this list are the show's greatest characters, Jaime is the show's most disarming. The Lannister brother − the Kingslayer − started the series as a long-haired bad guy of the tallest order, but his humbling over the past few seasons have seen him inch his way into the hearts of viewers.
HBO
69/70 2. Tyrion Lannister
Blamed for the death of his mother and hated for being a dwarf, Tyrion turned to drink and prostitutes to numb the pain. However, Tyrion has a fierce intellect, capable of outsmarting the toughest enemies (and offering cutting lines that George RR Martin says often take weeks to write). More importantly, despite being betrayed and cast away time and time again, Tyrion selflessly only wants the best for the people of Westeros. A true hero.
HBO
70/70 1. Cersei Lannister
The Mad Queen, alone on the Iron Throne. Cersei has, over the course of seven seasons, seen her three children die, driven her lover/brother away, blown up a church with a half dozen major characters inside, arranged the death of her husband (King Robert) and attempted to have her other brother (Tyrion) killed multiple times. Yet, thanks to Lena Headey's empathetic performance, you still feel sorry for the terrifying Queen of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. As one of the most complicated character to have ever reached television screens, there's no denying her place as the best Thrones character to date.
HBO
1/70 70. Rickon Stark
Easily the most annoying Stark child − an impressive feat next to Bran − Rickon was at least handed one hell of a death scene: taken out by an arrow courtesy of Ramsay Bolton.
HBO
2/70 69. Robin Arryn
Robin Arryn is remembered by most Thrones fans as being the 10-year-old badfed by his mother (still weird). That's about it.
HBO
3/70 68. Renly Baratheon
The Rickon of the Baratheon brothers. His claim to the Iron Throne was tenuous, considering his older brother, Stannis, was still alive. When Stannis's shadow monster came to kill him, it was only good news for the show.
HBO
4/70 67. Leaf
A lot of mystery may surround Leaf, one of the show's mythical Children of the Forest, but her noble sacrifice to save Bran, Meera and Hodor from a horde of wights robbed her of any worth.
HBO
5/70 66. Tommen Baratheon
Another boring younger brother. Whereas Joffrey was pure evil, Tommen was innocent and, inevitably, very boring. His cat, Ser Pounce, was an badet to the show.
HBO
6/70 65. Lysa Arryn
Lysa, the creepy sister to Catelyn Stark, was first seen with Robin Arryn, her 10-year-old son, latched to her bad. Her death − being pushed through the Moon Door − couldn't have come sooner.
HBO
7/70 64. Benjen Stark
Having gone missing in season one, Benjen returned during season six to save his nephew, Bran. The moment was a surprise to TV watchers − book readers, however, had long speculated that Coldhands was an undead version of the Stark.
HBO
8/70 63. Syrio Forel
The ill-fated Syrio's appearance way back in season one was a formative experience for one Arya Stark (Maisie Williams); he's the one who helped her on her way to becoming the vengeful badbadin fans know and love today.
HBO
9/70 62. Jeor Mormont
Father of Jorah Mormont, Jeor was an honourable leader of the Night's Watch − perhaps to a fault. After giving Jon Snow the sword Longclaw, Mormont inadvertently showed the Stark bastard that Valerian steel can cut through White Walkers.
HBO
10/70 61. Roose Bolton
Let's be honest: it's hard to really like as scheming a character as Roose Bolton, the man who orchestrated the violent Red Wedding − the most infamous scene in the show's six-year history that saw the death of Robb, Catelyn and Talisa.
HBO
11/70 60. Ellaria Sand
Ellaria Sand may have been a more enticing creation on the page, but in the series, her screen time regrettably amounts to reacting to loved ones being killed off in increasingly awful ways.
HBO
12/70 59. Grand Maester Pycell
The secretly sprightly Pycell had seen a lot of things in his time, but there's an element of "unfulfilled potential" surrounding Glover's character whose late betrayal of Cersei Lannister saw a grisly end to his life of luxury at King's Landing.
HBO
13/70 58. Three-Eyed Raven
Perhaps it was the casting of Max von Sydow that heightened anticipation for the Three-Eyed Raven in the series, but the half-hearted story arc left a lot to be desired.
HBO
14/70 57. Gilly
Gilly's long journey from Craster's Keep to Winterfell sounds exciting on paper. But, unfortunately, she has been merely a pbadenger on Sam's journey for far too long.
HBO
15/70 56. Daario Naharis
The man who won the heart of Daenerys Targaryen, only to be left behind in Essos. Ed Skrein originally played the character, but was soon replaced after the actor landed a role in Deadpool.
HBO
16/70 55. Shae
Oh Shea. Her ill-fated betrayal − sleeping with Tywin (Charles Dance) − was a slap in the face not just for lover Tyrion, but the viewer also.
HBO
17/70 54. Grey Worm
Leader of the Usullied, Grey Worm remains unmoved at all times − unless around Missandei. While their romance can be heartwarming, it's hard to invest in two characters who are so wooden.
HBO
18/70 53. Talisa Maegyr
To be fair to Robb Stark's wife Talisa, should she have avoided being murdered in arguably the most horrific way during the Red Wedding, she would most likely have been higher on this list. Alas.
HBO
19/70 52. Shireen Baratheon
All the Greyscale-suffering Shireen ever wanted to do was read stories in her chamber, but due to her impressionable power-hungry father, Stannis, she was tragically reduced to ashes after being sacrificed to the Lord of Light.
HBO
20/70 51. Viserys Targaryen
Viserys wanted the Iron Throne at any cost, giving away his own sister in exchange for an army. Dany, though, had other plans. Her new husband, Khal Drogo, covering Viserys in molten gold made for one of the show's most memorable death scenes.
HBO
21/70 50. Maester Luwin
The kindly Maester Luwin was one of the nicest characters in the first few seasons, becoming a stand-in father for Bran and Rickon while the Starks endured horrors elsewhere. He was eventually killed when Ramsay Bolton took over Winterfell.
HBO
22/70 49. Thoros of Myr
Thoros spent the majority of his time on the show resurrecting Beric and was most recently seen wielding his flaming sword alongside Jon Snow beyond the wall.
HBO
23/70 48. Mance Rayder
Ciaran Hinds brought an intensity to Mance Rayder, a character who would otherwise have got lost in the crowd. As a result, his death at the hands of Melisandre was unexpectedly affecting.
HBO
24/70 47. Podrick Payne
Ever loyal, Podrick Payne has become a fan favourite for being surprisingly brave in the face of adversity. He and Brienne of Tarth make an excellent duo.
HBO/Helen Sloan
25/70 46. Euron Greyjoy
While Euron Greyjoy may have only joined the show in season six, his presence was immediately felt. A wildcard character, Greyjoy's cut-throat, power-hungry nature has proven exciting to watch.
HBO
26/70 45. Jaqen H'ghar
Jaqen H'ghar − one of the Faceless Men of Braavos − had such promise, but ultimately ended up being the one responsible for sapping Arya's story of the energy she'd had seasons before, alongside The Hound (Rory McCann).
HBO
27/70 34. Missandei
Missandei has somehow managed to come up trumps within the new world order, being an advisor to Dany. However, her stilted nature can make for some awkward encounters − but at least she and Grey Worm are happy together.
HBO
28/70 43. Ygritte
Ygritte − the Wildling lover of Jon Snow − will go down in Thrones lore for providing the series the with oft-quoted famous line: "You know nothing, Jon Snow." Spoken with a northern accent, obviously.
HBO
29/70 42. Hot Pie
Has an actor ever been more suited to a role? Ben Hawkey, after all, has gone on to run a bakery of his own, even selling Thrones-themed goods.
HBO
30/70 41. Walder Frey
One of the orchestrators of the Red Wedding, Walder Frey was a lurching, terrifying villain. When Arya unmasks herself and kills the old man, it's a sweet, sweet moment of revenge.
HBO
31/70 40. Bran Stark
It says a lot that Bran Stark has become marginally more interesting since he sacrificed his personality in favour of becoming the spiritualistic heart of the series. His role in the final season looks set to be a huge one what with the long-standing theory that he could become the fearsome Night King.
HBO
32/70 39. Gendry
The true heir to the Iron Throne. Gendry may have spent a few seasons rowing out at sea, but his return hints at big things to come for the Baratheon bastard.
HBO
33/70 38. Yara Greyjoy
Lily Allen was initially wanted for the role of Theon's sister. However, she declined: 'I felt uncomfortable because I would have had to go on a horse and he would have touched me up and s***.' Seeing as Allen's brother, Alfie, had already been cast as Theon, it was probably for the best.
HBO
34/70 37. Robert Baratheon
Mark Addy brought a certain gravitas to Robert Baratheon, making him a believably world-weary king. Despite only having a few scenes, his character's presence is still felt on the show thanks to Gendry.
HBO
35/70 36. Barristan Selmy
After being fired by the Lannisters, Selmy pledged allegiance to Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke), bridging the gap between two of the show's key characters. He was also a bloody good warrior.
HBO
36/70 35. Margaery Tyrell
Margaery Tyrell was one of Game of Thrones's biggest players, wheedling her way into the Lannister family politics and actually becoming Queen for a spell. Her number was up the moment she made an enemy of Cersei, and her fiery death, while underwhelming, was a huge moment.
HBO
37/70 34. Osha
The underused Osha was our very first wildling, an unpredictable knife-wielding danger to the characters we loved. Her subsequent evolution into Stark servant was interestingly played, which made the fact she was sidelined for multiple seasons, before being brought back just to be unceremoniously offed, a travesty.
HBO
38/70 33. Samwell Tarly
There's a theory going around that Samwell Tarly, who trains as a maester, is actually the author of the Song of Ice and Fire − AKA the book series. In other words, Sam is George RR Martin. Go figure.
HBO
39/70 32. The Mountain
The hulking Clegane brother known as The Mountain − now a zombie-esque servant to Cersei − may not have come face-to-face with lots of characters in the series, but his presence is known by all in Westeros. His biggest moment? Battering poor Oberyn's head into mush.
HBO
40/70 31. Ramsay Bolton
Ramsey cut off Theon's penis and sent it to the Greyjoy's father. He imprisoned and raped Sansa Stark. He killed Rickon Stark in front of his brother. And Ramsay eventually died by being fed to his own dogs. A terrifying death for a terrible human.
HBO
41/70 30. Night King
The embodiment of evil. Why, exactly, the Night King marches South to destroy mankind remains somewhat a mystery. But, whatever the reason, he's a terrifying foe. Winter has, as the Starks say, finally come.
HBO
42/70 29. Beric Dondarrion
Beric danced on the outskirts of the series until its third season when he surfaced as the leader of the Brotherhood Without Banners. His introduction paved the way for the Lord of Light's ability to resurrect the dead, a mystical sub-plot that would become very important for Jon Snow.
HBO
43/70 28. Theon Greyjoy
While Theon starts as a bady kid, after being neutered by Ramsay he becomes the annoyingly weak Reek. Thankfully, Theon comes back around again in the later seasons, but not without us still hating his guts for not saving Sansa sooner.
HBO
44/70 27. Khal Drogo
To the world he's now Aquaman, but for a brief time, Jason Momoa was Khal Drogo, the beloved Dothraki husband of his Khaleesi, Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke).
HBO
45/70 26. The High Sparrow
While at first a seemingly wise old man, the High Sparrow quickly becomes a tactical villain, using his newfound powers under King Tommen to turn King's Landing into his own domain.
HBO
46/70 25. Jon Snow
Every show needs a hero, and they do not come more obvious than Jon Snow. Rising from discarded bastard to King of the North, his climb has been one of the show's best storylines. A shame, then, that Snow can be such a bland person, doing only what is right and seemingly having no faults.
HBO
47/70 24. Stannis Baratheon
With his propensity to make tough decisions for the greater good, Stannis could have been a heroic warrior. However, the Baratheon brother's continual fall from grace − including sacrificing his own daughter and murdering his own brother − were horrendous decisions that eventually doomed him.
HBO
48/70 23. Hodor
Once you get over the fact that Kristian Nairn was essentially getting paid to repeat the word "Hodor" over and over, it's hard to deny that Bran Stark's protector was a heartwarming addition to the show. His death − the breathtaking "Hold the Door" sequence − will go down as one of the show's most memorable moments.
HBO
49/70 22. Melisandre
Lest we forget that Melisandre is actually a shrivelled old witch who has been manipulating men for hundreds of years. Her faith in the Lord of Light, though, could very well be misplaced.
HBO
50/70 21. Tywin Lannister
Stannis was a horrible father. His two favourite children became incestuous lovers, and he blamed his youngest for the death of his wife. Without Tywin, though, the Lannister family would not be nearly as riveting as they are to watch.
HBO
51/70 20. Arya Stark
Arya Stark, arguably the greatest character of the first few seasons, was one of the biggest victims of the series overtaking George RR Martin's source material. Her limited screen time, due to being away from the central action, robbed us of clbadic moments, of which we're sure she'll be at the heart in the eighth and final season.
HBO
52/70 19. Tormund Giantsbane
Tormund has some of the best lines in the series, particularly when expressing his admiration for Brienne. Here's one of the least explicit: "I want to make babies with her. Think of it. Great big monsters. They'll conquer the world!"
HBO
53/70 18. Oberyn
Few shows can bring in characters midway through their run that have such an impact as Oberyn. The Viper quickly became a fan favourite, and his death remains one of the show's most squirm-inducing moments.
HBO
54/70 17. Olenna Tyrell
Olenna's scenes were always ones to cherish. The Queen of Thorns was as cunning as the best of them and seemed like she could worm her way out of any situation, all from the comfort of her own chair.
HBO
55/70 16. Jorah Mormont
Poor Ser Jorah. Dany may be 25 years younger than him, but that never stopped the disgraced warrior from loving her. He even fought off Grey Scale to fight by her side. If that's not true love, then what is?
HBO
56/70 15. Davos Seaworth
Liam Cunningham's performance as the curt Davos Seaworth has quietly been one of the best things about the series since his introduction. As Jon Snow's kingly advisor, he's recently seen himself thrust into the heart of the series and, simply put, Game of Thrones would be a less enjoyable show without him.
HBO
57/70 14. Eddard "Ned" Stark
Killing off a main character during a show's first season was practically unheard of before Game of Thrones. Yet, as dictated by George RR Martin's books, they cut off Sean Bean's head without a second thought, setting the tone for everything to come. No death has impacted the Thrones quite as much since.
HBO
58/70 13. Daenerys Targaryen
"Daenerys Stormborn of the House Targaryen, First of Her Name, the Unburnt, Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Khaleesi of the Great Grbad Sea, Breaker of Chains, and Mother of Dragons." Every time Dany meets someone new, she forces Missandei to read out her entire CV. I guess everyone would if theirs was as impressive. Dany really has had a great journey to the top − a shame she could not have come to Westeros slightly earlier.
HBO
59/70 12. Varys
Early on in the series, it was hard to pin down Varys, a slippery eel of a character who has "little birds" fluttering around Westeros, feeding back crucial information. Going into the final season, his true intentions are clear: he's all for Daenerys taking the Iron Throne, even if he doesn't live to see the day (“I have to die in this strange country, just like you," Melisandre prophesied last season).
HBO
60/70 11. Bronn
Perhaps the show's best wise-cracking side-kick, Bronn only has one loyalty: money. Paired with either of the Lannister lads, Tyrion or Jaime, Bronn makes for excellent company.
HBO
61/70 10. Robb Stark
Before Bodyguard, Richard Madden was the extremely temporary king of Westeros. Robb was a man of honour, trying to bring light to the Thrones universe. He was a likeable presence who ruled with his heart, an act that ultimately saw him die during the infamous Red Wedding in season three.
HBO
62/70 9. Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish
There would be no Game of Thrones without Littlefinger. The silver-tongued manipulator had Jon Arryn killed, setting off a snowball that turned into an avalanche. As smart as he may have been, Littlefinger was finally outplayed by his own pupil, Sansa Stark.
HBO
63/70 8. Brienne of Tarth
Brienne is a rebaduring force of good in a world filled with scheming layabouts. She's also one of the most deadly. Her time on the series has been spent protecting the likes of Renly Baratheon, Catelyn Stark and Jaime Lannister, the latter of which made for an interesting turn as it put her at odds with her loyalty.
HBO
64/70 7. Sansa Stark
Sansa has perhaps had the most interesting story arc of any character on Thrones. Beginning as a clichéd annoying teenager, she gradually became a stone-cold killer, capable of holding Winterfell and outsmarting even Littlefinger. With any luck, she could sit upon the Iron Throne when the war is over.
HBO
65/70 6. Sandor "The Hound" Clegane
From his regular delivery of the phrase"F** the king" to this chicken scene, The Hound is a reckless creation whose high ranking on this list can be attributed to the searing performance from Rory McCann. Most effective when paired with Arya Stark.
HBO
66/70 5. Joffrey Baratheon
No character has been as hated by the fandom as Joffrey. His wicked ways and disgusting behaviour haunted the show's first four seasons. You never knew what was going to come next: whether he was about to behead your favourite character or start crying to his mother. It made for thrilling television. But, as The Hound says, "F**k the King".
HBO
67/70 4. Catelyn Stark
The lady of Winterfell, Catelyn Stark, became the show's honorary lead after the untimely beheading of her husband, Ned (Sean Bean) at the end of season one. As she tried to take control of spiralling events in the second and third run, Thrones was handed its most resilient character. Michelle Fairley's guttural cry of anguish before meeting her tragic end during the Red Wedding will always be the show's most horrific moment.
HBO
68/70 3. Jaime Lannister
If the characters above Jaime in this list are the show's greatest characters, Jaime is the show's most disarming. The Lannister brother − the Kingslayer − started the series as a long-haired bad guy of the tallest order, but his humbling over the past few seasons have seen him inch his way into the hearts of viewers.
HBO
69/70 2. Tyrion Lannister
Blamed for the death of his mother and hated for being a dwarf, Tyrion turned to drink and prostitutes to numb the pain. However, Tyrion has a fierce intellect, capable of outsmarting the toughest enemies (and offering cutting lines that George RR Martin says often take weeks to write). More importantly, despite being betrayed and cast away time and time again, Tyrion selflessly only wants the best for the people of Westeros. A true hero.
HBO
70/70 1. Cersei Lannister
The Mad Queen, alone on the Iron Throne. Cersei has, over the course of seven seasons, seen her three children die, driven her lover/brother away, blown up a church with a half dozen major characters inside, arranged the death of her husband (King Robert) and attempted to have her other brother (Tyrion) killed multiple times. Yet, thanks to Lena Headey's empathetic performance, you still feel sorry for the terrifying Queen of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. As one of the most complicated character to have ever reached television screens, there's no denying her place as the best Thrones character to date.
HBO
The show will be available on Sky Atlantic and NOW TV in the UK.
