Game Of Thrones: 10 Characters Who Could Die In The Season 5 Finale

10. Melisandre

Melisandre is quite literally playing with fire, as her latest experiment on a royal-born child resulted in the harrowing death of Shireen. She's marching to war alongside Stannis, but the only reason she's still breathing is because she offers his only glimmer of hope in winning the eventual battle for Winterfell.

There'd be plenty of suitors ready to eliminate her, with Stannis' own men looking on in horror as she burned Shireen, a mutiny could overthrow her but the army simply doesn't know how powerful she is yet, and will continue to obey in fear.

Davos would, and always has been, the prime candidate to assassinate her, but now he's been taken out of the picture and returned to Castle Black. However, if Roose Bolton and his forces wipe out the Baratheon army, it could well be Stannis himself who kills Melisandre, holding her responsible for the death of his army, claim for the throne, and his only daughter.
