10 Game Of Thrones Deaths You Didn't Actually See Happen

4. Syrio Forel

Syrio Forel, the First Sword of Braavos, the Theory Magnet of the Internet. Syrio suffers one of the earliest off-screen deaths, and his demise led to a bombardment of theories suggesting that when Arya made her escape, so too did Syrio. We last saw him in the hopeless situation of fighting Meryn Trant with a wooden stump. Naturally you'd assume that was the end. It had to be the end, right? Well, it's not entirely black and white (mild Braavosi pun intended). There's an entire string of theories which claim that Syrio is in fact Jaqen H'ghar in disguise. The Faceless Assassin. The theories suggest that H'ghar positioned himself from the beginning of the show in order to draw Arya Stark to begin training. It's highly unlikely, but the hype around Syrio theories was immense for a time.
