|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 55 | Ygritte | Rose Leslie | Torn between her love for Jon Snow and her loyalty to the Wildlings, for Ygritte there was never going to be a happy ending. She was killed during the battle for Castle Black, shot in the back by villager Olly and dying in Snow’s arms. | http://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/tv/2016/04/20/Ygritte_Promotional_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqpiVx42joSuAkZ0bE9ijUnGH28ZiNHzwg9svuZLxrn1U.jpg | Rose Leslie as Ygritte | HBO |
| 54 | Varys | Conleth Hill | The former Master of Whisperers on the Small Council and the one who knows all that is happening in King’s Landing. He can be humane as well as cunning and was instrumental in helping Tyrion flee Westeros after Tywin’s murder. Varys believes a Targaryen restoration the last, best hope for the Seven Kingdoms and is at Daenerys’s side as she sails for Westeros. | http://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/tv/2016/04/20/LordVarys_57883932_GAME_OF_T_3263431b_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqpJliwavx4coWFCaEkEsb3kvxIt-lGGWCWqwLa_RXJU8.jpg | Conleth Hill as Varys | HBO |
| 53 | Margaery Tyrell | Natalie Dormer | A "People’s Princess" with knobs on, Margaery was unusual among the nobility in understanding the importance of image. Though mendacious behind the scenes in public she cultivated a kindly persona through her many acts of charity. Only Cersei appeared to see through her as Margaery married first Joffrey, then Tommen. Alas, all the political cunning in the world could not save her from the Lannister Wildfire. | http://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/tv/2016/04/20/Margaery_Tyrell_e2-large_trans_NvBQzQNjv4Bq2oUEflmHZZHjcYuvN_Gr-bVmXC2g6irFbtWDjolSHWg.jpg | Natalie Dormer as Margaery Tyrell | HBO |
| 52 | Olenna Tyrell | Diana Rigg | The wily matriarch of House Tyrell and now an implacable foe of Cersei, following that nasty business at the Great Sept (in which her son and grand children perished). "The Queen of Thorns" is astute and ruthless and the Lannisters are very much in the firing line. "Cersei stole the future from me. She killed my son. She killed my grandson. She killed my granddaughter. Survival is not what I'm after now." | http://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/tv/2016/04/20/olenna-tyrell-1024_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqtR1WRZ4lb6BOb1-FBRpn-lFGGjcI28awSNtOPAVs6pc.jpg | Diana Rigg as Olenna Tyrell | |
| 51 | Samwell Tarly | John Bradley-West | The bookish scion of House Tarly has become Jon Snow’s clever-clogs best friend. While no warrior, his insights into the behaviour and motivations of the White Walkers have been of huge assistance. He is currently at the Citadel studying to be a Maester – though will surely return to Snow’s side at first opportunity. | http://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/tv/2016/04/01/samtarly1_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqqVzuuqpFlyLIwiB6NTmJwfSVWeZ_vEN7c6bHu2jJnT8.jpg | John Bradley-West as Samwell Tarly | HBO |
| 50 | Viserys Targaryen | Harry Lloyd | Daenerys’s cruel and ambitious older brother cynically married her off to Khal Drogo, on the understanding this would furnish him with the men required to retake Westeros for the Targaryens. The plan backfired as Daenerys blossomed as the Khal’s wife and Viserys had a crown of molten metal poured over his face. | http://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/tv/2016/04/19/viserys_2866205k_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqqVzuuqpFlyLIwiB6NTmJwfSVWeZ_vEN7c6bHu2jJnT8.jpg | Harry Lloyd as Viserys Targaryen | HBO |
| 49 | Daenerys Targaryen | Emilia Clarke | Daenerys Stormborn, Mother of Dragons, is perfectly placed to become ruler of Seven Kingdom. Daughter of the deposed Mad King Aerys, she has an army, an armada and three dragons. Introduced to viewers as a trembling young woman, Daenerys has taken naturally to the Game of Thrones and is one of the most admired and feared rulers either side of the Narrow Sea. This owes a little to her cruel, imperious character and rather a lot to her power trio of fire-breathing lizards. | http://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/fashion/2017/06/19/TELEMMGLPICT000131421802_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqJOZhgFdjG6wTh7yhMdOZ3Pr7sARQy7EgBjwPUzvqL_M.jpeg | Emilia Clarke as Daenerys Targaryen | HBO |
| 48 | Talisa Stark | Oona Chaplin | From the Free City of Volantis, a healer who fell in love with Robb Stark. He chose to marry her instead of Roslin Frey, a lapse of judgement that led to the Red Wedding. There were many horrible deaths that night but that of the pregnant Talisa, struck down with a dagger to the uterus, was probably the most unspeakable. | http://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/tv/2017/07/02/talisa-stark-1024_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqtR1WRZ4lb6BOb1-FBRpn-lFGGjcI28awSNtOPAVs6pc.jpg | Oona Chaplin as Talisa Stark | HBO |
| 47 | Sansa Stark | Sophie Turner | Initially a flighty teenager, Sansa has been forced to mature as she has watched her nearest and dearest cut down before her one by one. She has an uneasy relationship with Petyr Baelish, who long held a candle for her mother and appears drawn to Sansa also. On the other hand, he facilitated her marriage to the psychopathic Ramsay Bolton and is now trying to subtlety pit her against her brother Jon Snow. Sansa has developed a cruel streak, as confirmed when she fed Ramsay to the hounds. | http://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/tv/2017/06/30/TELEMMGLPICT000131421668_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqrpfQw2hJyG_yckwxPAr0go9KzD8cVu9iguqnaKUswZA.jpeg | Sophie Turner as Sansa Stark | HBO |
| 46 | Robb Stark | Richard Madden | His father’s son, Robb believed that good would inevitably prevail over evil (and incest). Unfortunately he also believed in backing out of arranged marriages. Breaking off his betrothal to the daughter of Walder Frey sealed his faith, as Walder concluded a secret deal with Tywin Lannister. Result: the Red Wedding and lots of dead Starks. |
