Game Of Thrones Season 8: Every Death Ranked Worst To Best

10. Ser Jorah Mormont

Jorah had been through so much and was so close to being within that same underdog bracket that protected the likes of Sam, Davos and Bran that you could have been forgiven for thinking he was going to make it through.

But then there was always the nagging suspicion that Jorah's burning love for Dany - and more importantly his need to atone for his betrayal of her back when he was working for Varys and Ilyrio Mopatis - would lead him to sacrificing himself for her. And so it went at the Battle Of Winterfell when Dany found herself facing insurmountable odds on the battlefield.

Just as it looked like she was going to be killed, Jorah pulled off the last minute save, slaying countless wights with Heartsbane, only to be overcome and stabbed to death. At least he got to live long enough to see her to safety, which is probably all he wanted. You, apart from THAT.
