The 50 Best Characters From "Game of Thrones" (PART TWO)

Game of Thrones is a fantastic television show. I would even go as far as to say it's hands down the best show on T.V. right now. Us fans only get ten episodes a year because the show takes so long to film, but those ten episodes always feel extremely special. There are hardly ever any "boring" parts due to the absolutely phenomenal world that author George R.R. Martin has created. There is so much stuff going on in the world of "GoT" that it's almost impossible to keep track of all of it. Sometimes you need to watch an episode three separate times just to make sure you didn't miss anything.

While the show is mainly known for it's violence, nudity, cruelty, and battles, it's also known for the crazy amount of interesting characters in it. There are so many interesting characters in this world that the show creators have had to cut some of them out because there's no way they could fit them all into the show. My job here is to rank all the characters we've actually seen on the show and how interesting they are. It's not an easy job, but someone's gotta do it. That someone is me.....

First though? A few quick notes:

-I'm ranking characters mainly based on what they've done on the show, but since I've actually read the books, it's hard for me to separate them sometimes. Therefore I will be taking what that person has done in the books into consideration when I rank them.

-Since "GoT" is a show based on books, I decided to post pictures of what the character is supposed to look like if you go by the books. It's just a fun little experiment to see how well the casting people have done as far as it pertains to a certain character.

-This is not a list of my PERSONAL favorite characters. If it was, King Joffrey would probably be #1 (insert smiley face emoji). Instead, this is a combination of how much I like the character and how interesting the character is. If the character is boring as hell, you won't see them ranked here.

-If you've never seen the show or have any intentions on reading the book, DO NOT READ THIS! This is filled with spoilers from the books and the T.V. shows. Consider this your warning.......




Top 50 Characters from "Game of Thrones"


Part Two


25. Brienne of Tarth



House: Tarth

From: Evenfall

Dead/Alive: Alive

Brief Synopsis: She may not be the prettiest lady in Westeros, but who doesn't love them some Brienne? She's one of the best swords(wo)man in the land and even though she doesn't have the greatest track record when it comes to protecting people (Renly Baratheon & Catelynn Stark for example), you would still rather have her on your side than against you. Don't believe me? Just ask The Hound and Stannis Baratheon.

Part One



50. Balon Greyjoy




House: Greyjoy

From: The Iron Islands

Alive/Dead: Presumed alive on the show/Died of a fall in "A Storm of Swords"

Brief Synopsis: Balon Greyjoy (father of Theon and Asha) doesn't do much of anything in either the television series or the actual books, but as far as the history of Westeros goes....he was pretty important. He declares himself "King of the Iron Islands" during the "War of the Five Kings" and dies (at least in the book) soon after. Like I said, he's not that important to the actual "Song of Ice & Fire" series, but his history (Greyjoy's Rebellion) is somewhat interesting if you ever decide to look that up.
