Game Of Thrones Season 8: Predicting The Fate Of Every Character

25. Tormund Giantsbane

The first one on this list that's going to be REALLY painful to witness (and I can't even begin to imagine how my colleague Simon will cope with the loss of his one true love), but that's just the nature of Season 8 (or at least it *should* be).

The writers had a couple of clear moments to kill Tormund in Season 7 (during Beyond The Wall and again at the very end of the finale), but ultimately decided they couldn't part with him.

That's the kind of tough decision they'll need to make this time around though, and it's thoroughly fitting for Tormund to die in battle while fighting alongside the man he's chosen to follow, Jon Snow. Fighting is what he knows best, and there's little for him in the ruined world (except Brienne, anyway), and it'd be a tragic death but one that makes sense and could happen at almost any point in Season 8.
