Game Of Thrones: 10 Characters The Show Wants You To Forget About

10. Gendry Baratheon

You may remember Gendry Baratheon from such Game Of Thrones episodes as… A lot of them. Yes, if you can believe it, at one point Gendry was actually given a lot of screen time and was seemingly an important cog in the Battle of the Five Kings.

The Baratheon bastard was not only carrying King Robert’s bloodline, but he was looked at by Melisandre as a saviour of sorts, someone with king’s blood who could be sacrificed in order to perform blood magic for the Lord of Light.

Ultimately Gendry’s sacrifice never came as Davos Seaworth snuck Gendry out of his cell, put him in a rowboat, and sent him off the coast of Dragstone. He was told to keep rowing and that's presumably what he's done since we last saw him in Season 3.

While a lot has changed since the last time we saw Gendry, most notably the fact that House Baratheon is extinct and the War of the Five Kings is over, his return would still throw a big wrench in the plans of the Lannisters and Targaryens of the world. And it looks like that's exactly what's going to happen at some point in Season 7, as rumors have Gendry finally stepping off that rowboat and causing some bastardised havoc before the war is all said and done.
