Game Of Thrones Season 8: 11 Characters Who Could Kill Cersei Lannister

9. The Hound

Sandor Clegane is headed back to King's Landing on his own person mission, citing "unfinished business" in Westeros' capital. The most obvious line of thinking there is that he's going to fight the Mountain, with the showing making good on the Cleganebowl theory.

Alongside for the ride is Arya, whose own mission likely revolves around trying to kill Cersei. But what if their roles end up getting switched too? It's not out of the question that they could have Arya kill the Mountain, and then leave Sandor to kill Cersei.

He certainly has the tools to do it and, given how much Cersei let Joffrey get away with, not to mention her close relationship with the brother he despises, there's motive enough as well. He's definitely an outside bet, but there's a reason the Hound has been kept alive for so long, and it could go beyond killing his big brother.
