The 50 Best Game of Thrones Characters, Ranked

Game of Thrones has an incredibly deep bench of characters, and there will be more in Season 7. If we had to pick the top 50, dead or alive, who would we choose?

The Known World is vast, and there’s plenty more people in the Game of Thrones universe to meet. In six spectacular seasons, we’ve met kings, imps, traders, smugglers, dragons, queens and a little guy named Hot Pie. As we march on toward the summer of 2017, let’s take a step back and reminisce about some of the great Thrones characters we’ve gotten to know over the years. Alive or dead. And since there’s a ton of them to choose from, we can definitely get away with a top 50 list. Fair warning: major SPOILERS ahead!
