13 Game Of Thrones Characters Who Will Likely Die In The Winds Of Winter ( Part 2)
7Loras Tyrell
Ser Loras has been reported to be deeply wounded at Dragonstone.
In Game of Thrones, Loras Tyrell dies in the wildfire explosion at the Sept of Baelor. In The Winds of Winter, his fate looks like it’ll come sooner. Loras is sent in A Feast for Crows to retake the castle of Dragonstone after Stannis abandoned it to head north. When last mentioned, Loras was severely wounded from the siege at Dragonstone, pleasing Cersei with the fact that another Tyrell might be off the board.
6Margaery Tyrell
The Lannisters and Tyrells will continue to eat away at each other.
Like her brother, Margaery Tyrell perishes in the Sept of Baelor by Cersei’s plan in Game of Thrones. In Martin’s novels, Cersei and Margaery’s antagonistic relationship is just as deadly. With Kevan Lannister out of the way, Cersei will be free to act on her disdain for the Tyrells. It seems most likely that the Lannister position will be weakened by
5Roose Bolton
The Lord of the Dreadfort could perish against Stannis
In Game of Thrones, Roose Bolton is murdered by his son, Ramsay, shortly after legitimizing him, as Roose’s new child poses a threat to Ramsay’s succession. In The Winds of Winter, Roose and Stannis are about to engage in battle, and Roose could certainly meet his demise there. This may disappoint book fans, who’ve developed fascinating theories about Roose being an immortal being or, more specifically, a vampire.
4Ramsay Bolton
The conflicts in the North will likely claim Ramsay’s life.
Ramsa, one of the most hateable Game of Thrones characters, is killed by his own hounds after Jon and Sansa reclaim Winterfell. The moment allows Sansa to get revenge on the man who tormented her, but this narrative is entirely different in Martin’s books. With forces colliding in the North, Ramsay’s death still seems imminent, and it could come at the hands of Theon, Stannis, or even Roose Bolton.
3High Sparrow
The ruling monarch in King’s Landing won’t want the Sparrows around very long.
In the HBO series, High Sparrow was one of the many victims of Cersei’s wildfire explosion at the Sept of Baelor. Whether or not this event happens, Cersei still has a reason to take vengeance against the man after her Walk of Shame, though the balance of power is still leaning in his favor for the time being. If he outlives the Lannister regime in King’s Landing, it’s possible he could die at the hands of any new ruler, such as Stannis or Daenerys.
2Jojen Reed
Jojen might’ve died at the end of A Dance with Dragons.
Jojen Reed died far earlier in Game of Thrones, back in season 4. In the books, Jojen has had a green dream, envisioning his death, before disappearing at the end of A Dance with Dragons. Readers have even theorized that Jojen is already dead and that his blood was fed to Bran to enhance his greenseeing.
1Barristan Selmy
Barristan the Bold could die in battle in Meereen.
Ser Barristan Selmy died in Game of Thrones season 5 in a way that disappointed many book readers, as the character fell to the Sons of the Harley in a battle in an alleyway. With many battles coming in the future to Daenerys Targaryen and those in Meereen, Barristan Selmy could certainly perish in battle. Narratively, Selmy’s absence could invite room for Tyrion as Dany’s adviser and push her a step closer to madness.
