Game Of Thrones: 10 Most Memorable Dying Words

1. Aemon Targaryen

The Quote: "Egg, dreamed I was old." Maester Aemon was the grandfatherly figure at the Wall with a secret, sad past as one of the few living Targaryens. He was a fair and wise man who served as confidant to Jon and Sam during their many trying times. But just as things at the Wall were becoming more tense than ever, Aemon's health began to fade. It's not often that a character on Game of Thrones dies of natural causes, but that didn't help ease the pain of Aemon's passing. We watched as his mind begins to deteriorate and he calls out for "Egg", his long-dead brother. His final gut-wrenching cries for his brother show that even a man of this age is scared to die. Certainly one of the sadder moments of the series thus far. Aemon was always a kind man and spoke wisdom like a Westeros version of Yoda. To see this man lost and afraid as he slips away was a cruel end even if it wasn't violent. Despite its the tragedy of the line, it serves fans of the prequel novels with a nice Easter (*ahem*) Egg.
