Valar Morghulis: Who’s most likely to die in “Battle of the Bastards”?
By Corey Smith
Characters that are rumored to appear outside the battle.
***The following list of characters are rumored to appear in a scene that takes place in Meereen.***
15. Those Slaver Guys. (Belicho Paenymion, Yezzan zo Qaqqaz, Razdak mo Eraz): 75%. Yes, their fleet looked very impressive last week. Yes, it was raining down fire and destruction on Meereen. However, Dany magically appeared back in Meereen with Drogon, and we imagine the Dothraki horde is not far behind her. Expect all three dragons to be unleashed on that wooden fleet, and you know what fire does to wood. Sorry guys, been nice knowing you. (Not really.)
16. Yara Greyjoy: 25%. The Greyjoy siblings seem intent on sailing to Meereen and attempting to win the allegiance of Daenerys Targaryen. With her armies and dragons, Dany could probably take out Euron and his followers in an afternoon. Either way, the Grejoys are sailing right into what looks like a fairly large naval battle, and it wouldn’t be out of the question for one of them to end up on the wrong end of a catapult.
17. Theon Greyjoy: 25%. We don’t think it’s likely that Theon will die at the hands of some slavers outside Meereen, but crazier things have happened on Game of Thrones, and it does seem like one of the Greyjoys will die very soon.
18. Daario Naharis: 20%. After Dany’s sudden arrival back in Meereen, we assume that Daario stayed behind with the rest of the Dothraki horde. If that’s true, Daario will likely be leading the Dothraki into Meereen to fight whatever army the slavers have outside the city. That could get hairy, even for the man with the best hair on the show.
19. Grey Worm: 20%. Grey Worm seemed to have the right idea about holing up in the Great Pyramid of Meereen. We imagine he’ll be safe there. Still, in a large-scale siege, anything could happen.
20. Missandei: 20%. Honestly, we’re surprised Missandei has survived this long, and now that the slavers have arrived in force, expect the freed slaves inside the city to be none too happy that Tyrion and the rest of Dany’s ministers trusted them in the first place.
21. Tyrion Lannister: 5%. I still don’t believe the Tyrion survives the series, but we don’t think he dies at the hands of some random slaver in Meereen. In anything, Tyrion dies in Westeros, and thus remains safe this week.
22. Daenerys Targaryen: 1%. If Dany never makes it back to Westeros, we’re pretty sure that the Game of Thrones fan community would collectively riot. We expect to see a certain trio of dragons unleashed on those untrustworthy slavers this week, not the death of Daenerys Targaryen.
