Game Of Thrones: 10 Characters Who Could End Up On The Iron Throne

7. Bran Stark

Bran Stark is very much an outside bet, but you simply can't rule him out just yet. You just get the feeling that Bran has an enormous part to play in the trials to come, and his Season 5 break should hopefully make more sense when he reappears next. The young Stark has the ability to hack into the minds of living creatures and control them from afar. First he started uncontrollably with the wolves, now he can just dip into Hodor's brain to deliver a 'Hodor smash' at will. It's likely he's being trained to hone those powers by the Three Eyed Raven (Tree Dumbledore?) and then its just a case of seeing how high up the scale he can climb. The obvious top level is getting into a position to control Daenerys' dragons... Anybody with that power could rise to the Throne, particularly with a noble name such as Stark.
