10 Game Of Thrones Characters Who Really Deserve To Die

5. Melisandre

Olly Game Of Thrones

Melisandre genuinely seems to believe that her actions are ultimately for the greater good, and will lead to Westeros prevailing over the White Walkers... but be that as it may, you can't burn innocent people to death and expect not to pay the price.  Plus, there's something in her smug look that suggests she doesn't exactly see her murderous fiery habits as too much of a chore.  

The "Red Woman" has been burning folks in the name of the Lord of Light since her very first appearance in season 2, and it was only a matter of time before she set her sights on someone we really cared about. Gendry escaped the flames, but Mance Rayder wasn't so lucky, and sweet little Shireen was the final straw. 

Her penchant for disrobing at the drop of a hat will be missed, but there's no way Mel makes it through this story without *paying for what she's done - hopefully strapped to a pyre of her own. 

*Disclaimer: If she resurrects Jon Snow all is forgiven.
