10 Worst Characters In Game Of Thrones 

1. Doran Martell

Game of Thrones The Mountain
HBO

Even worse than the Sand Snakes is their uncle Doran, the Prince of Dorne and a man who wastes his life hidden away, refusing to be drawn into conflict no matter what harm comes to his people.

Doran is a pathetically weak person, which is part of the point, but there's so little to him that he becomes the definition of an absolute nothing character, and a total waste of an actor as talented as Alexander Siddig.

He doesn't do anything but sit around and complain, the character is completely one-note, and he's at the centre of one of the show's worst ever storylines and the problems with it. They could've done something interesting with him - though they'd probably have had to include Arianne too, which is an altogether different gripe.

Instead they had him look like an irritating, boring fool, and then die in the first episode of Season 6, which was effectively the show admitting they f**ked up with Dorne, before repeating the mistake by apparently forgetting all about his death and the location again.
