Game Of Thrones Season 6: 25 Most Epic Moments

25. Melisandre Shows Her True Self

As the season begins, Melisandre is in a pretty bad place. The man she proclaimed to be the Lord's chosen king died in battle after she convinced him it was a good idea to burn his daughter. Add to that, the next runner-up on her king-to-be list was just murdered by his own men. Needless to say, she's having a crisis of faith.

Her reveal that she's not in reality a beautiful woman, but in fact a decrepit old woman is a massive moment for her character. It totally changes our perception of The Red Woman. She proudly showed off her perfect body on numerous occasions but we now know, deep down, she always knew it was a sham. We see that she's beginning to question whether or not the whole thing was a sham. Melisandre has always been a character shrouded in mystery but this offers some new insight and changes our perception of her. It's a powerful moment and the first real shocker of the season.
