While many of the characters on HBO&#39;s Game of Thrones had important things to say during their time on the show, some of the words uttered at the end of their lives hold the most sway. Many of Game of Thrones characters&#39;s famous last words might be surprising, but most are pretty telling as their final words were often spoken moments before death.

Granted, some of the last words spoken by GoT characters were said long before they died on screen, they stand as a lasting reminder of the people who make up this incredible world. This list highlights the main characters from the series who have died, but characters who were resurrected won&#39;t be featured, so don&#39;t expect to hear the final lines from the Lord Commander just yet on this list.

*Because this list deals with character deaths, if you aren&#39;t completely caught up, beware of SPOILERS ahead!

This list of the best, most interesting characters from HBO&#39;s Game of Thrones&nbsp;series has been voted on by tens of thousands of GoT fans. Though the complicated study of power dynamics in the fantasy kingdom of Westeros may not have too many identifiable or even sympathetic lead characters, it has nonetheless produced a wide variety of compelling, entertaining and outsized personalities, from the brutal boy king Joffrey Baratheon to his diminutive but ingenious cousin Tyrion Lannister to their rivals, <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/all-members-of-house-stark/ranker-of-thrones?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the Stark family</a> of Winterfell and the &quot;Mother of Dragons,&quot; Daenerys Targaryen. But which characters are the true fan favorites, providing the most memorable moments and unexpected plot twists? While it&#39;s inevitably that a certain Bolton is likely to get heavily downvoted based on the true evilness of his character, hopefully some of the more nuanced &quot;not purely evil&quot; characters will maintain high rankings based on the opinion of true fans (like yourself, dear reader!).&nbsp;

HBO&#39;s Game of Thrones&nbsp;show is based on the Song of Ice and Fire&nbsp;cycle of novels by fantasy author George R. R. Martin.&nbsp;Martin has said that the series was partially based on the real &quot;War of the Roses&quot; that engulfed England in civil war in the 15th Century. Those conflicts concerned a rivalry between the houses of Lancaster and York, whose names clearly provided inspiration for the rival families of Lannister and Stark in the GoT universe. While this list is focused on characters from the TV series, voters who have both seen the show and read the books will probably vote somewhat differently given the additional nuance they will bring to their opinion of this unique ranking. This list ranks every major Game of Thrones character from best to worst, and given how many fans have voted on it, it&#39;s the definitive ranking of GoT&nbsp;fan favorites

The best TV villains of all time rank among some of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/greatest-tv-characters-of-all-time">greatest TV characters of all time</a> as well as some of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/creepiest-characters-on-television">creepiest TV characters ever</a>. While some TV villains exist to make the lead characters appear more heroic, some of them are just plain old, nasty jerks. Regardless of their motivations, the top TV bad guys make us want to bust into the TV and kick some butt, fictional style.

Many of TV&#39;s greatest greatest villains didn&#39;t start that way; some of these men and women started out as virtuous people who took a skid into the darker ways of the world. Think of Breaking Bad&#39;s Gustavo Fring, a legitimate business man turned meth trafficking d-bag. Or Dexter Morgan who started out killing only bad guys and then went and got tangled up with killing people as a CYA offensive action. Of course, there&#39;s also people like&nbsp;Joffrey Baratheon of Game of Thrones&nbsp;and The Simpsons&#39; C. Montgomery Burns who seem to get off on tormenting people. They are the worst kind of awesome bad guys.

Perishing is no stranger to HBO&#39;s&nbsp;<a href="https://www.hbo.com/game-of-thrones" target="_blank">Game of Thrones</a>, and it certainly isn&#39;t selective. No one is safe, and while many beloved characters pass on the regular, some of the most despicable characters, who truly deserve it, occasionally get the axe (or the sword, or the wildfire, or the &quot;golden crown&quot;) as well. This list of the most satisfying, best Game of Thrones deaths have&nbsp;been ranked by viewers from most satisfying and deserved, to least.

Some of the characters on this list definitely deserved it.&nbsp;Kraznys Mo Nakloz thought he could just buy one of Dany&#39;s dragons - and learned the hard way how that ends.&nbsp;King Robert might not have been the most hated character, but many fans weren&#39;t too disappointed to see him go. The Red Wedding was more shocking and devastating than deserved, but Robb did break his promise to the Freys, after all.&nbsp;And if Oberyn just stopped talking.

Warning: spoilers and televised violence abound.

TV deaths used to be sad affairs. Shows would promote them as &ldquo;very special episodes&rdquo; and warn viewers in advance to stock up on tissues. Now, not so much. Sure, there are still plenty of <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/most-shocking-tv-deaths/ranker-tv" target="_blank">shocking TV deaths</a> that break fans&#39; hearts. But with villains and antiheroes becoming&nbsp;the norm in today&rsquo;s entertainment&nbsp;landscape, satisfying TV character deaths are a more common occurrence.

Fans despise dreadful characters and root for their demise for months or even years. When these villains die, they can&rsquo;t help but cheer. Maybe the character was incredibly annoying. Maybe they were a jerk. Or, when it comes to <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/game-of-thrones-deaths/devon-ashby" target="_blank">Game of Thrones deaths</a>, maybe they were so vile that seeing them choke on poison&nbsp;or being devoured by dogs seemed perfectly fitting.

Game of Thrones&nbsp;fans knew it wasn&#39;t wise to become too attached to their favorite characters. Over the course of the hit HBO show based on George R.R. Martin&#39;s A Song of Ice and Fire book series of books, Game of Thrones proved&nbsp;time and time again that major characters could shockingly be dispatched without much warning. Fortunately, the many Game of Thrones deaths lead to some excellent, and occasionally poignant, Game of Thrones quotes, as GoT characters utter their last words.

Before a character shuffles off this mortal coil (or do they?!?!?), sometimes he or she says something profound, silly, inspiring, desperate, or tragic. Do you remember what Joffrey&#39;s last words were before he choked on poison? What about Robb Stark&#39;s last utterance? Or how about Tywin Lannister&#39;s last words to his son, Tyrion, who he accused of murdering Joffrey?

Scroll through some of the most memorable deaths in Game of Thrones history and reread the characters&#39; final words. Which parting phrases do you think are the most memorable, telling, and worthy of being last words? Vote up the most memorable and infamous last words said by the many fallen heroes and villains of the Six Kingdoms and the North.

It&rsquo;s always wise to remember that the journey is just as important as the destination&mdash;a lesson especially pertinent to fans during the&nbsp;final season of Game of Thrones. Whether or not the series did a competent job of concluding its various storylines is a controversial topic, but few would argue that the character arcs of Game of Thrones themselves stand as some of the most compelling in recent television history.

Television is fun, but some TV characters are just the worst. For every beloved character on television, whether it be Mary Tyler Moore of The Mary Tyler Moore Show or everyone&#39;s favorite resident of the Seven Kingdoms, Tyrion Lannister, there is an equally and adamantly <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-deserved-tv-villain-ends/jack-rogers" target="_blank">disliked character</a> on the tube (hi, Joffrey and Cousin Oliver!!). This list ranks the worst of the worst, including all the most terrible television characters and most hated TV characters of all time.

Yes, it&#39;s true that not everyone is going to like every character on a show, just as not everyone will like every person in real life. However, you will find that there are some characters that are so universally detested by everyone that no one bats an eye when they learn they&#39;re near the top of this list of awful TV characters.&nbsp;Have you ever stopped watching a show simply because one character annoyed you so much? This is a list about those guys and gals.

The list includes some of the most vile TV characters. They aren&#39;t necessarily vile because they are bad or evil, but simply because every time they come on the screen, you wish they&#39;d just go away. &nbsp;In other words, they&#39;re not characters you &quot;love to hate,&quot; they&#39;re unpopular, disliked characters you just absolutely can&#39;t stand.

The most hated Game of Thrones characters are despised for a number of reasons. Some were responsible for the death of a fan-<a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-game-of-thrones-characters">favorite GoT character</a> or two. Others torture prostitutes instead of just sleeping with them like normal boys. Others retreat from attacks on the city while sending the common folk into battle. Wait, those people are all Joffrey Baratheon.&nbsp;

As it turns out, however, Joffrey is not the only detestable GoT character (go fig), but is joined by multiple <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/the-best-members-of-house-lannister/ranker-of-thrones" target="_blank">members of his family</a> as well as a slew of other morally flexible citizens of the realm of Westeros. Whether they murder, lie, cheat, steal, or all of the above, there are plenty of people to hate in a series that regularly kills off fan favorite characters (and imprisons, rapes, and slanders others).

While the labels &quot;psycho&quot; and &quot;psychopath&quot; are often used casually, the reality of psychopathy is anything but lighthearted. As a diagnosable mental disorder, psychopathy has been characterized in numerous fashions over the years.&nbsp;For the most part, however,&nbsp;the term describes a person who lacks the ability to empathize with other members of society. Generally, a psychopath is&nbsp;someone who can neither understand nor comprehend another person&#39;s happiness or suffering, which in some cases can lead them to do&nbsp;things most people would consider&nbsp;ethically abbhorent.

When a person exhibits these traits, they may be diagnosed as either a psychopath or sociopath.&nbsp;Many consider these two terms to be relatively interchangeable, though there are diagnosable differences. Out of all the instances in which psychopathic behavior has appeared on <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/greatest-tv-shows-of-all-time" target="_blank">television</a>, few shows have portrayed the mental disorder as thoroughly as HBO&#39;s&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/game-of-thrones-season-1-recap/ranker-of-thrones" target="_blank">Game of Thrones</a>. The show&#39;s plethora of characters have exhibited a number of behaviors that set them apart from the society of Westeros, whether through their vicious&nbsp;actions, apathy towards others, or&nbsp;desire for personal power.

The <a href="http://www.minddisorders.com/Flu-Inv/Hare-Psychopathy-Checklist.html" target="_blank">Hare Psychopathy Checklist</a> is often used to determine a subject&#39;s&nbsp;likelihood of suffering from psychopathy. Though the checklist isn&#39;t entirely&nbsp;reliable, as professionals have contested its validity&nbsp;over the years, it offers a relatively straightforward method&nbsp;for determining possible psychopathy, at least for&nbsp;fictional characters. Because psychopathy can manifest in multiple ways, the characters&#39; exhibitions of psychopathic symptoms&nbsp;vary. Vote up the&nbsp;character who&nbsp;you believe most clearly demonstrates psychopathic tendencies on&nbsp;Game of Thrones.&nbsp;

HBO has put out some of the most innovative and character-rich original series ever. These here, well they&#39;re the best <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-hbo-original-shows/ranker-tv?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">HBO Original Series</a> characters ever. HBO shows are character-rich in the sense that HBO actually has the means to let their characters be interesting, and flawed, and heroic, and shameful, and deadly, and helpful because they are a paid super DELUXE channel service thing and they don&#39;t have to worry about advertisers. That&#39;s showbiz, folks!

Anyway, thankfully HBO is HBO. Without it we wouldn&#39;t have Tony Soprano, or Tyrion Lannister. We wouldn&#39;t have Stringer Bell. Stringer Bell, you guys! You think Stringer Bell could be Stringer Bell on ABC? Don&#39;t think so.

Extroverts aren't all bad and sometimes their bold, outgoing nature is an asset to social situations and work environments. However, some extroverts can be a bit much,&nbsp;especially if you're on the more withdrawn, introverted side of the spectrum. Because quirky personalities and over-the-top characters sell, there is no shortage of annoying extroverted TV characters. Such characters have an insatiable&nbsp;need to relate to others, talk through their every thought, and constantly connect. Some fictional extroverts can be funny and charming,&nbsp;sure, but the worst of the bunch are emotionally needy and - frankly - just plain annoying.&nbsp;From&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/famous-esfps/celebrity-lists" target="_blank">ESFPs</a>&nbsp;to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/famous-entps/celebrity-lists" target="_blank">ENTPs</a>&nbsp;to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/famous-estps/celebrity-lists" target="_blank">ESTP</a>s and onward, television runs the gamut of the extroversion. Sometimes, it gets old. Some fictional extroverts were fun at first, but their antics lost their appeal over the course of many seasons. Fans are increasingly fatigued with the endless quirkiness of&nbsp;New Girl's&nbsp;Jessica Day and - back in the '90s - Friends&nbsp;enthusiasts found Phoebe's boundless enthusiasm suffered from the law of diminishing returns.&nbsp;Other annoying TV characters that happen to sway to the extrovert side of the spectrum were abhorred from day one. Do fans of Petyr Baelish of&nbsp;Game of Thrones&nbsp;actually exist and wasn't Grey's Anatomy's&nbsp;Izzie Stevens&nbsp;always&nbsp;a little too holier-than-thou for the liking?&nbsp;Keep in mind, this is all a little&nbsp;subjective. Those of us with extroverted qualities may find these characters more relatable than annoying. But for introverts&nbsp;sensitive to the overhearing nature of extroverts, many of these characters are just too much.&nbsp;Which of these extroverted characters are the worst? Vote up the characters that drive you nuts and vote down the charaacters you find (mostly) tolerable.&nbsp;If you know of any <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-most-annoying-tv-and-film-characters-ever" target="_blank">annoying TV characters</a> who are extroverts,&nbsp;add them to the list!

This type of twist is something of a specialty for author George RR&nbsp;Martin, and it&#39;s carried over into the show.&nbsp;Throughout the HBO series, a lot of people have perished.

Since her debut in Season 2 of Game of Thrones, Brienne of Tarth has been considered a side character at best.&nbsp;But over the course of the series, she won viewers&#39; hearts and became an unambiguous&nbsp;fan favorite. <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-badass-ladies-from-game-of-thrones/ranker-of-thrones" target="_blank">Brienne&rsquo;s role as a figure of female empowerment</a>&mdash;and one of the best swordfighters in all of Westeros&mdash;have been widely acknowledged, but less-discussed is the central role she&rsquo;s played in the series&rsquo; plot.&nbsp;

Brienne has been around for some of the most pivotal moments in recent Westerosi history, including the Dragonpit summit and the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/game-of-thrones-season-8-episode-3-recap/jacob-bryant" target="_blank">Battle of Winterfell</a>, but her impact on the overall plot of A Song of <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/george-r-r-martins-original-ending-to-game-of-thrones/stephanroget?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Ice and Fire</a> run much deeper than that.

True, it's a small group compared to the dozens-deep cast – Red Weddings and general brutality tend to pick off a lot of people.Some Game of Thrones characters in Season 1 look absurdly young compared to their appearances now. Just look at how much Bran has grown up, or how differently Daenerys carries herself now that she's a confident queen. And that's not to mention Drogon. Those cute little baby dragons didn't stay cute little babies for long.Keep in mind these photos compare characters who were in the first season and have appeared in the seventh. Many of the most popular characters on the show didn't arrive until later seasons, so don't freak out when <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/davos-seaworth-interesting-trivia/lisa-waugh?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the Onion Knight</a> doesn't appear (#TeamDavos).

What do Game of Thrones characters look like in the books? This list scratches that itchy question with photos showing what some of <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-game-of-thrones-characters?var=2">your favorite Game of Thrones characters</a> would look like if they were more accurate to George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire novels. Some of the differences are relatively small, like Tormund's beard being a different color in the books. Others are pretty major, like Tyrion losing most of his nose on the page but just getting a cool scar on TV.But who wants to see Peter Dinklage's handsome mug all banged up every Sunday night? Similarly, who wants to see all the show's younger characters as preteens? Pedophiles, probably, but Game of Thrones isn't for them. It's for the fans, even the fans of Martin's novels who wish everyone in Westeros were at least a little uglier, since Martin's descriptions of virtually every character paint far, far less attractive pictures.Comparing Game of Thrones to A Song of Ice and Fire is more even fun than gossiping with Varys, braiding Cersei's hair, or hangin' with <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/sparrows-trivia-facts-game-of-thrones/lisa-waugh?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the High Sparrow</a>.

The Raven has brought you the latest Game of Thrones list and it’s full of SPOILERS!&nbsp;Season six of Game of Thrones sees the evolution of many main characters. After many wars, assassinations, and savagings, our characters are wiser and tougher. If they’re still alive that is. Just about every character has been touched by the events of five seasons, except for maybe Littlefinger. That guy’s teflon.&nbsp;Sansa has gone from puppy love to having a PhD in sadomasochistic matrimony. She’s survived the brutality of Joffrey and Ramsay Bolton and still have to contend with Petyr Baelish’s weird obsession with her. But one thing’s for certain, she’ll never pick up a Westeros Tiger Beat again.&nbsp;Arya was always a tomboy, but she’s graduated to assasin status as she finishes up her training as a Faceless Man and ticks more names off her list. Forget long winters filled with White Walkers, Arya is coming for you, Cersei.&nbsp;Bran has grown up, ready to seer his way through the mysteries of the Seven Kingdoms. He’s a solid sidekick to maester-in-the-making and fellow sleuth Sam. And what of Tyrion? Our wine-swilling, whore-loving Half Man has grown more serious, having secured a spot on Dany’s side of the world. His wisdom is certainly valuable to anyone wishing to sit on <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/26-famous-pop-culture-figures-sitting-on-the-iron-throne/chaz-fletcher?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the Iron Throne</a>.From season one of&nbsp;Game of Thrones to season six, who’s had the most dramatic transformation?
