Game Of Thrones: Ranking EVERY Major Death Worst To Best
47. Benjen Stark
Death: Killed by White Walkers after saving Jon during the battle beyond the Wall.
After all those years lost beyond the Wall in an un-dead state, poor Benjen Stark (Joseph Mawle) deserved so much better than this.
In the end, he conveniently rode out of nowhere to save Jon and gave Jon his horse, before being unceremoniously killed off by the crowd of White Walkers. He didn't even get a chance to say goodbye to his nephew, who'd longed to know what had happened to his uncle for all those years.
Essentially, he was a Deus ex Machina and he was only on-screen for a minute, if even that, before being killed. At the very least he could've participated in the battle and had a proper reunion with Jon.
If he ever actually finishes the books, hopefully George R.R. Martin will give Benjen the ending he deserves.
