Game Of Thrones: Ranking EVERY Major Death Worst To Best
16. Maester Luwin
Death: Stabbed by Dagmer, who was one of the Ironborn who took over Winterfell, before being mercy-killed by Osha at his request.
Much like Maester Aemon's death, this is a quieter death which some viewers may have forgotten and therefore upon re-watching it they'll get a startling reminder of just how hard-hitting and touching this particular demise was.
Luwin (Donald Sumpter) was another strong Maester character who had a bittersweet, emotional farewell with Bran, Rickon, Hodor (Kristian Nairn) and Osha before his off-screen passing. It was a deeply powerful death scene, one of the show's most underrated at that, and it was probably the best part of the already brilliant season two finale.
Season two didn't kill off as many big characters as almost all of the other seasons did, but it certainly delivered some powerful death scenes nonetheless and this one was a particular highlight. Still, it's not quite the best season two death...
