Game Of Thrones: 10 Characters Killed At The PERFECT Time
6. Ramsay Bolton
As amazing a character as he was, who didn’t cheer out loud when that dog went for Ramsay’s throat?
The younger Bolton was a pure psychopath from the get-go, murdering and torturing his way through four seasons of the show, and so it was a massive relief for the characters and fans when he was beaten down (quite literally) by Jon Snow in the stunning season six epic Battle Of The Bastards. Especially after what he did to Sansa.
Sadly, Ramsay was part of a brilliant but non-essential sub-plot for Game Of Thrones, so he needed to be out of the way prior to the final two seasons, but the main reason he makes this list is what his death signified for the remaining Starks.
After six seasons of pain and misery for our protagonist family, this was their first major victory and their homecoming as Jon and Sansa reclaimed Winterfell with Ramsay’s downfall. It puts them as a force to be reckoned with heading into the final showdown and it empowers the pair as two heroes in a world of horror, proving that sometimes evil can be overcome.
