Game Of Thrones Season 7: Every Death Ranked From Worst To Best

3. Petyr Baelish

Game of Thrones Arya Littlefinger death

Cause Of Death: Throat slit by Arya Stark, who used the catspaw dagger Baelish himself had given to the Starks.

Another season finale, and another bloody murder courtesy of Arya Stark. and this time it was her biggest victim yet.

For years we've witnessed Littlefinger play the game and create chaos, all to serve himself. The Winterfell storyline this year wasn't great, but seeing him finally get his comeuppance was a great payoff to all of those treacherous schemes, and brilliantly executed by the Stark children.

Aidan Gillen gives on last Littlefinger masterclass, from the shock of his name being announced to trying to worm his way out of it, and then outright begging for his life. It's a significant death as we shift away from the great game and move into the endgame, and given everything he's done to House Stark a fitting way to bow out.
