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

3. Daenerys Targaryen

Daenerys has long believed that it's her birthright, even her destiny, to rule the Seven Kingdoms. It's been her driving force across the series (at least since Viserys died), and while she's shown elements of being both good and bad at it, it's also why she's unlikely to actually realise her goal.

It's not a series that permanently hands power to those who seek it and, in the end, Dany will fall to that too, by realising she needs to sacrifice herself for the greater good. This will then see her either killed by the Night King himself, or by Jon to realise his true potential, and means that the series can end without all of the big three surviving. If that's to happen, it's Dany's death that makes the most sense. The showrunners have one final "holy sh*t" moment to come at the end of the series, and this could be it.
