13 Craziest Game Of Thrones Moments

11. The Faceless Men

"So there's this group of assassins who live in a big temple on the water. They've got a room full of dead people's faces that they can wear to kill more people and steal their faces too." Yeah, people will slowly start to back away from you at this point.

The idea that some people in Westeros are potentially just dead faces with assassins underneath is pretty mind-scrambling, with fans dedicating huge theories to why certain side-characters may in fact be a Faceless Man. And then there's Arya's involvement with them. She wore a dead face to eliminate Meryn Trant in an outrageously brutal way, before being confronted by Jaqen who's face was removed to reveal another face...and another...and another...and another, until finally Arya was looking at herself. Nope, no idea.
