Game Of Thrones Season 6: 10 Characters It Must Use Better

Keeping track of Thrones characters has always been a tricky affair. The world has changed beyond recognition since the beginning of the show, with the vast majority of the original cast dead and buried, but there's still a huge world to rein in, and it's important that each major player of the game gets a chance to shine. The amount of side-characters, one-off no hopers, and lumbering bags of meat and blood is truly enormous, though they're all mainly used as walking-talking target practice. Forget about the pawns, your attention needs to be directed straight at the major pieces, although some of the top figures in Game Of Thrones could still be put to better use. Some characters have been suffocated under the quantity of side-shows, others have been completely anonymous, while a few have been poorly interpreted from the books. It's certainly a case of 'the books always know best' but with one character in particular, surely world-renowned warrior status would be more interesting than their TV outcast position. Here are 10 characters who should be used better in Season 6...

10. Varys

Varys is one of the unsung heroes in Game Of Thrones. His motives, his loyalties, his actions have all been questioned intensely since the opening season, but guess what? He's fantastic. Varys smuggling Tyrion out of King's Landing was one of his most genuine moments, and from then on, we've grown to love him. Well, that is until Tyrion was snatched by Jorah in Volantis. Varys was banished to the Gendry, Beric Dondarrion and Benjen Stark society for drop-out characters, and fans were even starting to worry about whether he'd make a return as the weeks wore on without the eunuch. Now he's made it to Meereen and linked back up with Tyrion, there should be no more exile for Varys. He's back, and he must stay that way.
