Game Of Thrones: 10 Worst Characters Who Appeared After Season One
10. Trystane Martell
The worst part of this first entry is it actually took a re-watch of the show for this author to even remember what happened to this poor guy. If you can't remember yourself, check out Season Six - it's gruesome.
Trystane Martell is the only son of Prince Doran Martell and the heir to Dorne, the southernmost region of the Seven Kingdoms. Introduced in Season Five, Trystane is betrothed to Myrcella Lannister and is caught up in events which sees Jamie Lannister and Bronn attempt to collect Myrcella from the region. After the strong reception to Trystane's Uncle Oberyn in the previous season, we were expecting a big entrance from this young prince.
Sadly, the result is lacklustre.
Instead of the heroic maverick we were all expecting, Trystane is used for comedic humour only, taking a beating from Bronn and leaving audiences wondering how he actually made it so far into the show's run. It doesn't get much better from there, and the handful of scenes the character gets are no more than filler.
To top it all off, he's killed about five minutes into the next season, by his cousins no less, who assassinate him to stop him taking revenge on their killing of Myrcella. But more on that shortly...
