Game Of Thrones: All 26 Characters From Season 1 (Who Aren’t Dead Yet) - Ranked

3. Bronn

Along with Tormund, Ser Davos and The Hound, Bronn is a part of the coolest band of anti-hero characters ever seen in fantasy TV shows. He is the product of everything Westeros has revelled in: a man forged in violence, prostitution and camaraderie with a tongue as blunt as his sword is sharp.

He might not be a big player in the Great Game, but he brightens every scene he's in - particularly when he's sparring with Tyrion or Jaime (because the clash of their classes makes such beautiful chemistry). He's like a cheeky, deadly rascal, who is far more likeable than he'd ever care to be and who would wipe the floor with most competitors in a Best Supporting Character ranking.

It's a shame he betrayed Tyrion, obviously, but Bronn is at least committed to being a buyable commodity, and you can't judge him for following the money. Not that he'd care much anyway.
