10 Most Evil Game Of Thrones Characters

Dany was a leading protagonist for almost the entirety of Game of Thrones, and was also one of the most popular characters for the first seven seasons.

However, the final season confirmed what fans had been predicting for years, with the once beloved Mother of Dragons scorching her way through the streets of King’s Landing.

Crucially, Dany did not distinguish between enemy soldiers or innocent civilians, instead choosing to burn the city to the ground. Given that around half-a-million people resided in King’s Landing, Dany’s actions were nothing short of barbaric.

Though the speed at which her moral compass seemed to shatter felt abrupt, there was at least a degree of foreshadowing. Her treatment of the masters in Slaver’s Bay was an early suggestion of her more sinister side, and the murder of Randyll and Dickon Tarly was the most overt indication that Dany would ultimately become the Mad Queen.
