It's almost a little unfair to refer to him as Bran Stark now, since he is almost fully the Three-Eyed Raven, but whatever name you wish to give him there's no denying that he's one of the most powerful people in Westeros now - and potentially one of the most important too.

Bran holds the key to the truth about Jon's parentage, but his role in Season 8 should be much bigger than dropping that bombshell. Here's someone who can not only see through time, but influence events, and is one of the most powerful greenseers to have ever lived. He should be doing something BIG. Whether that's further exploring his connection to the Night King, another time loop shocker, or warging into a dragon, Bran should have a major part to play in the war to come.
