10 Game Of Thrones Characters Who Really Deserve To Die

8. Walder Frey

Olly Game Of Thrones
HBO

Walder Frey is 94 so it probably won't be long before he dies of natural causes anyway... but so what! This lecherous old git was most directly responsible for the Red Wedding, and has several beloved characters' blood on his hands so a violent death is most definitely due.

We first meet Lord Frey when Caitlyn Stark was forced to strike a bargain with him so that her son Robb could cross at the Twins, and he's immediately established as someone we are not going to like. When Robb spurns his daughter by marrying Tulisa, he gets even worse. Robb and co. try to repair the damage by arranging for Caitlyn's brother Edmure to wed the the girl instead, but Frey has none of it and even after offering the the Starks the protection of the "guest right" (bread and salt), he has the lot of 'em slaughtered.  

In the books Lady Stoneheart and the Brotherhood make it their mission to eliminate as many of the Freys as possible, but without their presence on the show they seem to have gotten away with it. Let's hope the Blackfish returns to make Walder and his bug-eyed ilk pay in season 6.
