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

24. Brienne Of Tarth

Game of Thrones Brienne
HBO

Although she didn't have much to do at all in Season 7, Brienne can still be considered a big player heading into Season 8, as well as one of the finest warriors in Westeros and, even more crucially, one with a Valyrian steel sword in her possession.

This is one of those that could go either way really: she's going to be in the heat of the action, so is in clear danger, and it can be said she's already fulfilled her purpose with regards to the Stark sisters.

On the other hand, some heroes have got to make it out alive, and Brienne is one of the most honourable there is in Game of Thrones. Previously that might've counted against her, but it just might lead to her being spared here, especially because it'll make another moment more powerful: the opportunity to have Jaime Lannister die in the arms of the woman he loves. And I don't mean Cersei.
