Game Of Thrones: Ranking The Probability Of Every Character Death At The Battle Of Winterfell

10. Melisandre

Right now, Melisandre is the character everyone seems to have forgotten about. She disappeared halfway through Season 7, headed for Volantis, and hasn't been seen since - but she does still have a role to play.

She told Varys she would return to die in Westeros, and the Battle of Winterfell feels appropriate. She follows the Lord of Light, and this is the battle against his greatest enemy. Melisandre's reasoning behind going to Volantis is unclear, but the smart money is she's recruiting the Fiery Hand - a group of soldiers who guard the Red Temple in Volantis.

I could imagine her showing up to the battle late in the day with them, allowing the others to escape with Winterfell being put to the torch. That should mean her death, as she promised, but since he wouldn't be fighting herself there is a chance she'd survive it.

Chance Of Death: 7/10
