| 1 | Maester Aemon | Peter Vaughan | The long-serving Maester of the Night’s Watch was born Aemon Targaryen – the last known Targaryen in Westeros. His casting vote saw Jon Snow elected Lord Commander of the Watch. Master Aemon died as Snow fought Walkers north of the Wall. | http://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/tv/2017/06/20/aemon_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqrXQPXGvM58CJoUBPwmOnPxU--41c5Cba04Sh5SZbNZ8.jpg | Peter Vaughan as Maester Aemon | HBO |
| 2 | Lord Petyr Baelish | Aidan Gillen | Brothel keeper and political dabbler, Baelish is among the best connected men in Westeros. He was introduced to viewers as Master of Coin on King Robert Baratheon’s Small Council and later conspired to assassinate horrid King Joffrey. Catelyn Stark was his one true love. He would later wed her sister Lysa Tully and push her to her death as she turned on Catelyn’s daughter Sansa. By dint of the marriage he is now Lord Protector of the Vale and regards Sansa as an ally he can woo. | http://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/tv/2017/05/30/TELEMMGLPICT000099222130_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqaRL1kC4G7DT9ZsZm6Pe3PehAFAI_f6ud569StXyOKH0.jpeg | Aidan Gillen as Littlefinger | HBO |
| 3 | Joffrey Baratheon | Jack Gleeson | A product of the incestuous relationship between Queen Cersei and Kingsguard warrior Jaime Lannister and, even by Game of Thrones standards, irredeemably unpleasant. A bully and a braggart, Joffrey crumpled into a snivelling wreck when Stannis Baratheon’s forces surrounded King’s Landing. His marriage to Margaery Tyrell was short-lasting, with dreadful Joffrey dispatched by poison before the wedding feast was completed. | http://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/tv/2016/04/20/joffrey_2866186k_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqqVzuuqpFlyLIwiB6NTmJwfSVWeZ_vEN7c6bHu2jJnT8.jpg | Jack Gleeson as Joffrey Baratheon | |
| 4 | Myrcella Baratheon | Nell Tiger Free | Joffrey’s sweet and naive younger sibling, Myrcella was a rare carrier of Lannister blood who seemed not to possess a calculating side. Not that it did her any good. Shipped off to Dorne by her uncle Tyrion for an arranged marriage into House Martell she was poisoned by Ellaria Sand and the Sand Snakes as retribution for the death of Oberyn Martell. | http://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/tv/2017/06/12/Myrcella_trans_NvBQzQNjv4Bqn4xRlpI8rQaTeEWFc06e5ZgdpG8CNmnQ-_HJLz2I5wo.jpg | Nell Tiger Free as Myrcella Baratheon | HBO |
| 5 | Renly Baratheon | Gethin Anthony | The younger brother of King Robert and Stannis Baratheon, Renly was also the secret lover of Ser Loras Tyrell. He could be cunning and, with Robert dead, wisely urged Lord Eddard Stark of Winterfell to kidnap Joffrey and rule the Seven Kingdoms. A political marriage to Margaery of House Tyrell was intended to boost his claim to the throne – an ambition that came undone when Stannis and Melisandre send a shadow demon to kill him. | http://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/tv/2017/07/02/renly_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqNJjoeBT78QIaYdkJdEY4CnGTJFJS74MYhNY6w3GNbO8.jpg | Gethin Anthony as Renly Baratheon | HBO |
| 6 | Robert Baratheon | Mark Addy | The once dashing leader of House Baratheon who toppled the Mad King Aerys II Targaryen and claimed the Iron Throne. In his later years Robert sank into gluttony and lechery and endured a heartless political marriage to Cersei Lannister. He never stopped pining for his true love, Ned’s sister Lyanna Stark. Robert died in a stag hunt, having been fed super-potent wine by Cersei. | http://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/tv/2017/07/02/robert-baratheon-1920_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqNJjoeBT78QIaYdkJdEY4CnGTJFJS74MYhNY6w3GNbO8.jpg | Mark Addy as Robert Baratheon | HBO |
| 7 | Stannis Baratheon | Stephen Dillane | Robert’s younger sibling was a man of principle – but one also fatally seduced by Red Witch Melisandre and her prophecy that the Lord Of Light had marked him for greatness. He demonstrated courage and strategic skill in almost defeating the Lannisters at the Battle of the Blackwater and later toppled the Wildling King Beyond the Wall Mance Rayder. But burning his daughter Shireen was a sacrifice too far and, with his forces deserting him, he was defeated by the Boltons at Winterfell. | http://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/tv/2016/04/13/Stannis-Baratheon-Profile_%283%29_trans_NvBQzQNjv4Bqa06iPFyyhE7bErjBwdAYUdooENgPU1ZL5KSuN_XWyIU.png | Stephen Dillane as Stannis Baratheon | HBO |
| 8 | Tommen Baratheon | Dean-Charles Chapman | As short-lived boy King of Westeros, wide-eyed Tommen was easily manipulated by both his wife Margaery and scheming mother Cersei. His indecision allowed the conflict between Cersei and the Sparrows spiral out of control. With Margery perishing in Cersei’s destruction of the Great Sept, he calmly jumped from his window. | http://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/tv/2016/06/21/tommen_1_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqNUHzxaamNmHDqK-YksWRz2o-yMLyYquKCawpyDOW254.jpg | Dean-Charles Chapman as Tommen | HBO |
| 9 | Ramsay Bolton | Iwan Rheon | The utterly loathsome Ramsay was the illegitimate product of a union between Roose Bolton (not very likeable either) and a peasant woman raped by Roose after she wed without his permission (the husband he had hanged). A rotten apple that didn’t fall very far from the tree, Ramsay tortured Theon Greyjoy with sociopathic glee and similarly mistreated arranged bride Sansa Stark. After killing his father, step mother and half-brother, he lost the Battle of the Bastards to Jon Snow and was fed by Sansa to his own, peckish hounds. | http://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/tv/2016/06/28/ramsaybolton_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqtGQB12KHxxQCrwnTZkX0nwgWqwm85JEWpGVhFb46TTg.jpg | Iwan Rheon as Ramsay Bolton | HBO |
| 10 | Roose Bolton | Michael McElhatton | Having owed fealty to House Stark, Bolton enjoyed his moment of betrayal. "The Lannisters send their regards," he cackled, plunging a dagger into pregnant Talisa Stark. But as Lord of Winterfell he failed to install loyalty and few grumbled when he was cut down by heir Ramsay. | http://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/tv/2016/04/20/roose-bolton_2866199k_1_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqqVzuuqpFlyLIwiB6NTmJwfSVWeZ_vEN7c6bHu2jJnT8.jpg | Michael McElhatton as Roose Bolton | HBO |
| 11 | Brienne of Tarth | Gwendoline Christie | Brienne was introduced as a member of Renly Baratheon’s Kingsguard. She was haunted by his slaying at the hand of the smoke demon, holding herself responsible. Blamed for Renly’s death she fled the camp, having sworn loyalty to Catelyn Stark. She subsequently escorted Jaime Lannister back to King’s Landing, their antagonism developing into an unexpected friendship. When Catelyn perished at the Red Wedding, Brienne considered her oath of protection transferred to the dead woman’s children. She would finally avenge Renly, killing Stannis after his defeat by Ramsay. | http://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/tv/2016/06/21/brienne_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqZgEkZX3M936N5BQK4Va8RWtT0gK_6EfZT336f62EI5U.jpg | Gwendoline Christie as Brienne of Tarth | HBO |
| 12 | Bronn | Jerome Flynn | The foul-mouthed mercenary saved Tyrion Lannister’s life by defeat Lysa’s champion in trial by combat at the Eyrie. His expertise would prove vital during the Battle of the Blackwater and he was knighted by Joffrey. Bronn later accompanied Jaime on his mission to rescue Myrcella in Dorne and fought at his side at Riverrun. | http://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/tv/2016/04/19/gotbronn_2915631b_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqpJliwavx4coWFCaEkEsb3kvxIt-lGGWCWqwLa_RXJU8.jpg | Jerome Flynn as Bronn | |
| 13 | Gregor Clegane | Thor Björnsson | The Mountain is a freakishly tall knight, fiercely loyal to House Lannister. When Tyrion Lannister demanded justice by trial by combat upon being accused of killing King Joffrey, Cersei nominated Gregor as her champion. This made the fight personal for Tyrion’s representative, Oberyn Tyrell, as the Mountain had brutally slain Oberyn’s sister during Robert’s Rebellion. The Viper died in the tussle, with The Mountain sustaining fatal injuries. However he was re-animated by the necromancer Qyburn and continues to serve Cersei. | http://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/tv/2016/06/29/the-mountain-oberyn_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqE33fIs64eBxy2Ueorj1JP-GyFgYfvIWvNT1eEV5al2s.jpg | Thor Björnsson as Gregor Clegane (aka The Mountain) | HBO |
| 14 | Sandor Clegane | Rory McCann | The Hound is younger brother of "The Mountain". As Prince Joffrey’s bodyguard he was cruel and ruthless. But he demonstrated a human side, offering to protect Sansa Stark during the Battle of the Blackwater and later becoming a traveling companion of Arya Stark. He was seemingly killed by Brienne of Tarth but survived and, having sworn off violence, was last seen accompanying the Brotherhood Without Banners as they rally to the side of Jon Snow. | http://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/tv/2017/06/29/hound_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqVJV-JfT_DtQRnEXeNs_zzgpuJ3vxTKaRT_QXBhUn_AE.jpg | Rory McCann as The Hound, aka Sandor Clegane | HBO |
| 15 | Khal Drogo | Jason Momoa | A warlord of the Dothraki, Drogo was introduced as Daenerys Targaryen’s brutish husband-to-be. Yet their marriage blossomed into genuine loveand she was devastated when he was killed by a minor wound turned septic. Dragon the dragon is named in his memory. | http://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/tv/2017/03/09/drogodany_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqrFGXK9OCVstxiNnNkv1ERRcbcZiJmFiTldawvJxQ7f0.jpg | Jason Momoa as Khal Drogo | HBO |
| 16 | Balon Greyjoy | Patrick Malahide | The embittered ruler of the Iron Islands who turned his son Theon against his adoptive Stark family. He himself came to a sticky end with the return of younger brother Euron, who flung his older sibling to his doom. | Pilou Asbæk as Euron Greyjoy | HBO | |
| 17 | Euron Greyjoy | Pilou Asbæk | Game of Throne’s latest villain, Euron has declared himself the living manifestation of the Drowned God. Crowned leader of the Ironborn in Balon’s place his ambition is to travel to Slaver’s Bay, furnish Daenerys Targaryen with boats and take her, forcibly, as his wife. However, his plans are temporarily frustrated as Balon’s children, Theon and Yara, flee with the fleet and strike an alliance with the Mother of Dragons. | http://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/tv/2017/06/22/TELEMMGLPICT000099220797_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqaRL1kC4G7DT9ZsZm6Pe3PehAFAI_f6ud569StXyOKH0.jpeg | Alfie Allen as Theon Greyjoy | HBO |
| 18 | Theon Greyjoy | Alfie Allen | Theon was raised at Winterfell and considered a brother to the ruling Starks in all but name. But his father Balon turned him against his adoptive family and he staged a botched invasion of Winterfell. He later fell into the clutches of Ramsay, who tortured and castrated Theon and forced him to take the name Reek. Fleeing with Sansa, he at last earned the respect of sister Yara and struck an alliance with Daenerys. | http://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/tv/2017/06/27/theon-greyjoy-1024_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqtR1WRZ4lb6BOb1-FBRpn-lFGGjcI28awSNtOPAVs6pc.jpg | Gemma Whelan as Yara Greyjoy | HBO |
| 19 | Yara Greyjoy | Gemma Whelan | Theon’s older sister is a natural leader and was on the brink of claiming the Salt Throne until silver-tongued Euron intervened. Crossing the Narrow Sea with the Iron Fleet, she has entered a coalition with Daenerys – with whom she also appears to share a romantic spark. | http://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/tv/2016/02/12/Yara.jp_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqrpfQw2hJyG_yckwxPAr0glhTQ9DkUxBOTgW36yVKUzg.jpg | ||
| 20 | Grey Worm | Jacob Anderson | The leader of the Unsullied, a legion of warrior eunuchs commanded by Daenerys Targaryen. He has become one of the Mother of Dragons’s closest advisor though Tyrion is fazed by his complete absence of any sense of humour. | http://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/tv/2017/07/02/Grey-Worm_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqUdzhVSO1dBnYosldNXMOeSOoem_3qpp9C-iKHR23jxY.jpg | Jacob Anderson as Grey Worm | |
| 21 | Gendry | Joe Dempsie | The sole surviving illegitimate son of King Robert Baratheon. A blacksmith by trade he fled Joffrey’s purge of Robert’s "bastards" and took up with Arya. He was later handed over to Melisandre who leeched his royal blood, believing it possessed magical properties. He passed out of the Game of Thrones timeline when Ser Davos sprung him from Dragonstone and he set off for King’s Landing in a rowing boat. | http://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/tv/2016/11/01/gendry_trans_NvBQzQNjv4Bq3U9-D5U2JffhMhmF-FT3htll37dHCK0gPMuItIkibFY.jpg | Joe Dempsie as Gendry | HBO |
| 22 | Gilly | Hannah Murray | A Wildling and one of the cursed "wives" of Craster. Gilly fled Craster’s Keep with Sam when members of the Night’s Watch mutinied, bringing with her a newborn son. At Castle Black, she named the baby Sam. She and Tarly become romantically involved and she accompanied him as he travelled to the Citadel to study as a Maester. | http://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/tv/2016/06/21/gilly_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqaRL1kC4G7DT9ZsZm6Pe3PcyX7532Kw8fYJxQ4xmErYc.jpg | Hannah Murray as Gilly | HBO |
| 23 | Tormund Giantsbane | Kristofer Hivju | With the killing of Mance Rayder, the hulking Giantsbane became de facto leader of the Wildings. Though he has misgivings about working with "Crows" south of the Wall he is a firm ally of Jon Snow – and has been throwing significant looks toward Brienne of Tarth. | http://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/tv/2016/05/13/97849982-GOTKiristofer_Hivju_as_Tormund-TV_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqtGQB12KHxxQCrwnTZkX0n-WaI4YJg2cQ7YeMgThz0T0.jpg | Kristofer Hivju as Tormund Giantsbane | HBO |
| 24 | Jaqen H’ghar | Tom Wlaschiha | A deeply mysterious member of the Faceless Men. Imprisoned at Harrenhal he helped Arya escape and invited her to join his organisation in Braavos. But when Arya took up the offer she was initially reluctant to leave behind her own identity and "become no one". After her defeat of the Waif, Jaqen seemed pleased and declares Arya had indeed achieved a state of "no one"-ness. | |||
| 25 | High Sparrow | Jonathan Pryce | Though assuming the persona of a humble, unworldly man the leader of the Sparrows was soon revealed as deeply Machiavellian. He allowed Cersei believe she was using him but turned the tables and had her cast into prison when her affair with cousin Lancel was revealed. The Sparrow was in turn outsmarted as Cersei destroyed the Great Sept with Wildfire. | http://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/tv/2016/06/28/highsparrow_trans_NvBQzQNjv4Bq3Z7i_2nUjuO-XXgVmfiyhE-7TSv0ccWfuBYKmj9tsZ4.jpg | Jonathan Pryce as the High Sparrow | HBO |
