Not every character we meet “Game of Thrones” is blessed enough to make a name. Of course, even the people who do don’t have better odds in HBO’s adaptation of George R.R. Martin’s epic tale.
Almost 72% of every named character who grabbed the screen over the past six seasons has expired before ever finding out who gets to sit on the Iron Throne. If you’re keeping track, that is nearly 3 4 characters whom we have ever dared to have emotionally invested or ever wondered if they might be”the one”
While it does not do Catelyn Stark or perhaps Jon Snow’s wildling enthusiast Ygritte any good, girls stand a better chance at the realm of”Thrones” than men. While almost 65 percent of named female figures over the series’s series have died in some glorious fashion, over 76% of male characters have met similar, gruesome fates.
You don’t even have to be human in”Game of Thrones” to win over our hearts and leave us depressed, angry, and confused. A number of the creatures featured on the show have died, usually right along with their owners. Of those six direwolf pups introduced over the first hour of their first period of”Game of Thrones,” four have expired in ways that make us wonder if it really could get any worse. Our fingers are crossed for Ghost and Nymeria to make it out alive.

“Game of Thrones” continues to shock us with new methods for killing characters every season. Just when you thought you had seen it in year 4 — when”The Mountain” (spoiler alert) defeated the skull of fan preferred Oberyn Martell together with his bare hands season 5 showed us Melisandre convinced the would-be King of Westeros, Stannis Baratheon, to burn off his daughter in the stake… which, needless to say, proved fruitless.
Still, with every one of these wild and gloomy ways to die, good old-fashioned stabbings are still the most popular way to satisfy the Old Gods and the New in”Game of Thrones”. Over 1 in 3 characters that died were stabbed in one manner or another. From each character who died during the Red Wedding (such as Talisa, Robb, and Catelyn Stark) into Arya’s season 6 victim, Walder Frey, the odds of dying by sword or knife are comparatively significant.
Arrows (like those Tyrion utilized to kill Tywin Lannister in season 4) and explosions (found in the latest season finale at the Great Sept of Baelor) have each accounted for nearly 7 percent of all”Game of Thrones” deaths through the years.
Death by darkness demons or direwolves only accounted for less than 1 percent of named characters who have died in this insane, crazy world.
