Game Of Thrones: Which Characters Have The Best Odds Of Dying?

Set news for the latest season of Game of Thrones has been trickling out and along with those reports comes, much to Maisie Williams dismay, tons of spoilers.

Fans are still getting used to not having George RR Martin‘s novels as guides for where the television adaptation might go, but that makes speculation much more fun.

And as we are now facing the end of the series with an epic two-part season, we can start examining the eventual fates of the main characters in one of the deadliest television shows ever.

The creators have no problem killing off fan favorites before they achieve their goals—and making people wait to see hated foes get their comeuppance.

With that in mind, we’re devising some odds and taking a cue from Vegas to see which of the main characters have the best shot of surviving the series end and who has the greatest odds of meeting the grisly end of an axe.

Game of Thrones is currently filming its penultimate seventh season. The new season will consist of seven episodes.

Cersei Lannister

The Queen of the Iron Throne has long manipulated some of the worst happenings on the series thus far, and short of the White Walkers she remains the biggest villain and threat to the heroes of the series.

The end of Season Six saw her sacrifice the entire Sept of Baelor with wildfire, killing hundreds of people (including Margaery and Loras Tyrell), to reclaim control of King’s Landing after making the mistake of giving control to High Sparrow.

Tommen was her last surviving child, and his suicide in the wake of the Sept’s destruction thrusted her into the throne. But without her children to protect, Cersei’s actions may become more volatile as her seat of power is consolidated.

We’re predicting she has a good chance of surviving the season because even if the combined forces of Winterfell and Daenerys’ army go for another Sack of King’s Landing, she’s always been resourceful. She won’t meet her end until the series ends, at least.

1/2 odds of dying.

Jamie Lannister

When Jamie returned to King’s Landing at the end of Season 6, he made it just in time to see Cersei’s ascension and crowning. While we’ve seen the character grow and change, almost soften in his hard stance, we’ve yet to see him be at odds with his sister/lover.

That might all change being that Cersei has been responsible for the death of so many people including their last surviving child.

But Jamie has always been blinded by his love for Cersei—if not blinded, swayed—and that could prove to be his undoing. Jamie might secretly work against his sister, but being that she has the new Master of Whisperers at his side it won’t amount to much.

Depending on where Jamie’s loyalties lie, his survivability could change. But seeing that he’s starting to ebb away from Cersei, we don’t think he’s long for Westeros.

3/1 odds of dying.

Tyrion Lannister

Daenerys’ most valuable council member has had some great luck in the series. He’s fought in battles, slave pits, faced certain death on many occasions, and now he’s finally on the side of the good guys.

That doesn’t seem like a good thing as virtue has often resulted in many people’s deaths.

Game of Thrones does a great job of building up hope and dashing it to the wind. Tyrion’s death would come at a pivotal moment, maybe when Daenerys finally seizes the Iron Throne. If that’s the case, Cersei would have at least some semblance of vengeance seeing that she blames Tyrion for much of her family’s misfortune.

Due to his prominence and survivability over the series, we think that Tyrion’s nearly exhausted all of his luck. That fortune could run out in dramatic fashion such as, say, a season finale? We put him at the same odds as his brother Jamie.

3/1 odds of dying.

Arya Stark

The youngest of the Lady Starks probably has the most dangerous journey ahead of her, being that she still has a few names on her list without anyone to support her.

And Game of Thrones would do something like kill her off before she has the chance to cross everyone off, but that doesn’t seem likely for Arya. Her journey has made her resourceful and cunning, making her one of the most formidable threads to her enemies.

Despite being on her own, Arya will likely see Season Eight and even the end of the series. When Cersei Lannister does eventually meet her deserved fate, it will be at Arya Stark’s hands. And Arya ain’t going anywhere until then.

1/3 odds of dying.

Littlefinger

This dude will never learn. Littlefinger’s machinations have put him back at the sides of the people he’s screwed over multiple times. And while he has the armies of the Vale at his disposal—and that shitty little nephew eating out of his hand—Littlefinger’s days are numbered.

Sansa has proven to be as resourceful and political as the creep obsessed with her and she knows Littlefinger is responsible for many of the ordeals the Starks have been forced through.

She received a little bit of closure when the Bolton Bastard got eaten by hounds, but Littlefinger still breathes. With Stark and Snow reunited, we don’t expect them to tolerate Littlefinger’s machinations for much longer. However, such a cunning asshole always has a chance to survive despite how slim it may be.

4/1 odds of dying.

Daenerys Targaryen

The last Targaryen is destined to claim her birthright. While her most trusted council member might not make it through the season, it seems obvious that Daenerys Stormborn, Khaleesi of the Dothraki, Queen of Meereen, Heir to the Iron Throne, and Mother of Dragons will survive.

She’s spent the entire series working her way up from nothing, collecting armies along the way, building to her eventual return to Westeros where she will claim what’s rightfully hers.

And even if she bites it, she has a couple of Red Priestesses running around more than capable of fixing that problem.

1/4 odds of dying.

Bran Stark

Probably the single biggest threat to the Pale King and the White Walkers purely for the knowledge he has, Bran is being made out to be the source of hope for viewers of the show. All he has to do is get a hold of Jon Snow or Daenerys and tell them what’s really going down and he can change the course of history.

Is there a more perfect time for him to be murdered in a most grisly fashion?

Not only that, but Bran’s position as the Three-Eyed Raven puts him in a spot to sacrifice his own life for the greater good. He’s the only character with a full handle of the big picture, and that makes him expendable. Trust us, it makes sense.

2/1 odds of dying.
