Arrow Season 7: Ranking The Probability Of Every Major Character Death
2. Ricardo Diaz
Ricardo Diaz not only survived the Season 6 finale, he escaped punishment altogether. This was a surprising twist that differed from the typical Big Bad format, as it means that we're likely going to get better acquainted with him this season.
After losing his city to Green Arrow, he will seek to destroy everything that Oliver holds dear in Season 7. Thus, as the trailer already highlighted, he will indeed set his sights on Felicity and William. Furthermore, his allegiance with the Longbow Hunters suggests that he will be sticking around for a little while at least.
Having said all that, Diaz isn't the only one out for blood. During his time as kingpin of Star City, he made a lot of enemies. While Team Arrow will undoubtedly stop at nothing to keep William safe, Black Siren will be out to avenge Quentin's death. Could she finish the job she started and finally kill off her former partner in crime? If not, perhaps Oliver could be the one put him down when he returns to his heroic ways.
Whatever happens, Diaz isn't considered the Big Bad this season. He's merely a gateway for the show to introduce the Longbow Hunters and, with his violent tendencies and brutish attitude, there's a strong possibility that he will meet a brutal end before the season's conclusion.
Likelihood Of Dying: 8/10
