10 Worst Characters In Game Of Thrones 

7. Rickon Stark

Rickon Game Of Thrones
HBO

Poor Rickon. Being the youngest of the Starks meant that, while his brother was off fighting a war, his half-brother went to the Wall, and his sisters travelled to King's Landing, he was stuck at Winterfell with Bran - and being a young child he didn't really get any significant lines, or much of anything to do except be a bit annoying and useless.

Indeed, his most memorable act wasn't really his, with Theon pretending to burn his body. At least Bran's story picked up a bit when they separated, but Rickon merely disappeared off the face of Westeros, and even worse took Osha with him.

When he did return, years later, it was as a political pawn, and he didn't even utter a word before his inevitable death, nor could he even manage to zig-zag.

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
