Off-screen deaths are among the saddest because they often deny closure, but nobody was really begging to watch our sociopathic Little Lord Fauntleroy play target practice with King's Landing's most-endearing prostitute. It was the first time viewers got to see a dragon take anybody out solo - and the last time we'll ever assume anybody doesn't know High Valyrian.Ĭause of death: Used as a live target by King Joffrey

Chaos ensued.Ĭause of death: Torched by an angry dragonĪnother guy who really, really had it coming, misogynist slave-trader Kraznys mo Nakloz proved himself to be quite dim when he walked into the Khaleesi's 'Sure, I'll sell you a dragon' trap. Mormont's own men turned on him after spending too much time north of the Wall, leading Rast to literally stab him in the back. The Night's Watch sure went to pot quickly. After suffering for an unknown amount of time with a spear through his stomach, he enlisted Osha to be his Dr. Perhaps the saddest loss during the fall of Winterfell, Maester Luwin's death robbed the Starks of their last remaining father figure. Though Craster probably deserved worse for all of the incest, baby-killing and lackluster hosting, that dagger through the throat and into the roof of the mouth still looked pretty rough - and in his own living room, no less! Last episode: 'And Now His Watch is Ended'Ĭause of death: Dagger-pounded in the throat A deleted scene shows that it was actually Doreah, the prostitute-turned-handmaid, who did the deed - which makes us feel a lot better about her being locked in that vault to die. The Khaleesi's right-hand gal was strangled in the great dragon-napping of season two, but all of the details of her fate do not reveal themselves in the episode. This nameless chump was one of the last victims of 'The Tickler,' the sadistic Harrenhal torturer who strapped metal buckets of rats to prisoners and heated said buckets until the rats burrowed free… into said prisoners' torsos.Ĭause of death: Skewered by a shadow assassinĪ villain that goes by many names - ghost baby, smoke monster, shadow assassin, to name a few - this guy crawled out of Melisandre's womb to eliminate Stannis Baratheon's brother - and one of the many threats to his throne. He may not have had a back story, but he'll never be forgotten.

Thanks, Mirri!Ĭause of death: A bucket of rats to the stomach

But were it not for that reluctant sacrifice, we might never have gotten dragons. In what ended up being the first of many, many bad-ass moves, the newly widowed Daenerys Targaryen punished the deceitful wise woman who rendered her husband catatonic and killed her unborn son by tying her to Drogo's funeral pyre. And in what would prove to be the first of many Game of Thrones euthanizations, the Khaleesi put him out of his misery.Ī surprisingly clean slice, poor Ned Stark's decapitation was made infinitely more disgusting by Joffrey's classy decision to slap the head on a pike and use it as a home accent.Ĭause of death: Burned alive on Khal Drogo's funeral pyreĭo not mess with the Khaleesi. After a cut to his shoulder became infected, a magical ceremony to revive the Dothraki king ended up turning him into a vegetable. Things went downhill fast for poor Khal Drogo. It probably wasn't what Viserys had in mind.Ĭause of death: A combo of infection, blood magic gone awry and smothering After an entitled rant about his rights to the crown, Khal Drogo dumped a vat of boiling gold over his head. Viserys Targaryen, one of the slimiest characters in Game of Thrones' lengthy roster of creeps, will be forever remembered for the series' first truly epic death.
