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

8. Tormund Giantsbane

Tormund Jon Snow
HBO

Tormund is a great character and, outside of the central figures, one of the real fan-favourites left on the show. For that reason alone they might spare him, and the fact he's one of the only recognisable Wildlings left might also suggest he could survive.

But in story terms, he's done just about all he can. He's made a great transition from fighting against Jon Snow to fighting as his brother in arms. For a Wildling warrior to die in service of his friend, a former Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, and perhaps going down side-by-side with the current Lord Commander, would be a tribute to Jon's impact, and could give Tormund the kind of major send-off he deserves, and the episode the kind of big, painful death it requires.

Chance Of Death: 8/10
