Game Of Thrones: Ranking EVERY Major Death Worst To Best

34. Balon Greyjoy

Game Of Thrones Ned Stark
HBO

Death: Thrown to his death by his brother, Euron Greyjoy.

A bit like Osha, Balon (Patrick Malahide) was basically brought back in season six just to die almost immediately, but this death felt far more acceptable than Osha's.

Realistically, there wasn't much more to be done with this guy and his sudden death was actually quite an effective, nice little shock. It was also a good way to bring Euron Greyjoy into the show, in spite of how badly wrong that character would go.
