Game Of Thrones: 10 Characters Killed At The PERFECT Time
4. Walder Frey
Like with Ramsay, this death marked another victory for the Starks, albeit a more personal one than the aforementioned, and was a fantastic way to round off season six.
Through two seasons we had watched Arya grow as an assassin outside of Westeros and we were all wondering what her skills would be used for. Her first target ended up being elderly Walder Frey - the incestuous lord of The Twins and the murderer of Arya's mother and brother.
Walder's death brings his own journey full circle - it's one of the best scenes in the show when he realises he's eating his sons in a pie, seconds before he himself has his throat slit, and it's a gruesome but poignant moment that has us rooting for the young Stark, who so rightly takes her revenge.
As with other entries on this list, Walder's demise shows just how strong the major players in the show have become in the lead-up to the grand finale, and in this case, it was a great tease for Arya's development and what she would go on to do, as well as a fitting send-off for Walder.
