Game Of Thrones: 13 Supporting Characters Who Will Die In Season 7

6. The Sand Snakes

Dead By: Episode 6

How They Die: Despite learning of the threat of the White Walkers, Daenerys' ambitions for the throne will cloud her judgement. She will take her army south to King's Landing to take the throne from Cersei, who has allied herself with Euron Greyjoy.

As the headstrong Sand Snakes lead the vanguard into battle, Euron will unveil his secret weapon, a dragon horn. The ancient artefact allows Euron to take control of Drogon, which he uses to promptly roast in the Sand Snakes and their Dornish forces.

Why It's Their Time: The Sand Snakes have long worn-out their welcome on the show. They are boring, cartoonish caricatures with little personality to share between the three of them. The show's decision to double-down and make them participants in Daenerys' invasion means they were likely saving a particularly satisfying death for them.

What It Means For The Show: Adding next to nothing to the show, their death will only mean relief for fans. However, the circumstances of their death are significant. Having Daenerys' most powerful dragon turned against her will be a shocking way to end the penultimate episode of Season 7 and show that taking the throne will be harder than she thought.
