Season 7 of Game of Thrones has seen no end of character deaths. A ton of Freys. Obara and Nymeria Sand. Olenna Tyrell. Randyll and Dickon Tarly. Thoros. Benjen Stark. Even Viserion bit the dust! With one episode left, we reckon there is room for another character to die before the final credits roll. Taking out the main characters – Cersei, Daenerys, Jon, Jamie, and Tyrion – we listed the eight most likely candidates who might not make it to Season 8. Check out our list, see if you agree, and then vote in the poll!
Littlefinger
From Master of Coin to Lord Protector of the Vale, Littlefinger has schemed his way throughout all seven season of Game of Thrones. Now, in the frozen wastes of the North, Littlefinger plays his games with the Starks of Winterfell. He attempts to set Sansa and Arya against each other in hopes of gaining more power. But has he underestimated Sansa’s deviousness, and Arya’s cunning?
Beric Dondarrion
The last surviving member of the Brotherhood Without Banners, Beric Dondarrion has already died a half dozen times. Each time he was resurrected by the Red Priest, Thoros of Myr, and now serves the Lord of Light with his flaming sword. But with Thoros’ death beyond the Wall, will Beric Dondarrion finally succumb to a final and true death?
Grey Worm
The bravest and fiercest of Daenerys’ Unsullied, Grey Worm led the assault on Casterly Rock. It was not his fault that the entire thing turned out to be a trap. He has been at the forefront of most of Daenerys military campaigns and come through them relatively unscathed. With armies now massing for war, will Grey Worm’s luck finally run out? He’s started to find happiness with Missandei, but will it be short-lived? One thing is certain: soldiers die in war.
Bronn
Sellsword, badass, and master of the deadpan snark, Bronn has come a long way since allying himself with Tyrion way back in the first season. As a fierce fighter, he’s constantly in the thick of battle where his skills, cunning, and ruthlessness helps him to survive. Bronn’s already had a few close brushes with death: nearly poisoned at the hands of the Sand Snakes, and almost roasted by Drogon. Will Bronn’s luck finally run out?
Sansa Stark
In the North, Sansa Stark is Lady of Winterfell. After all the indignities she has suffered, Sansa had evolved from a naive and sheltered young girl to a hardened and cynical woman. Now she tries to play the political games that she has watched others like Cersei and Littlefinger play. Sansa has Littlefinger to contend with on one side, and Arya on the other. Has she learned her lessons well, or is she in over her head?
The Hound
The Hound is brutally honest and knows the truth about how life in Westeros works. The strong prevail over the weak, and violence is a way of life. The Hound knows that the way he lives his life leads him into situations where it is kill or be killed. He’s even cheated death before. Heading back to King’s Landing, will the Hound come face to face with his hated brother one last time?
Arya Stark
After several seasons training with the Faceless Men in Braavos, Arya Stark is looking to make good on her promise to kill the people on her list. Distracted from her mission of vengeance by the reunification of the remnants of her family, she now finds herself in the middle of Littlefinger’s schemes to gain power in the North; a scheme that sets her against her sister, Sansa. Arya has learned much in Braavos, but did she also learn this kind of warfare?
Jorah Mormont
Daenerys’ most loyal servant, Ser Jorah Mormont has finally returned to Westeros. After surviving a seemingly lethal bout of greyscale thanks to the intervention of Samwell Tarly, Jorah returns to his Queen’s side to serve her once more. Pledged to defend the Queen with his life, will Ser Jorah finally have to make good on his oath?
