Digital Jeezus presents: The Most Dangerous Characters in Game of Thrones

    For those that don't know, I'm the most avid Game of Thrones fan on planet Earth. I began watching the show episode 1, and after catching the next 3, I went out and purchased all the books and read through them in about a week or two. If that's not impressive to you, then you've never actually seen one of the books. They're each about the length of the Bible. Since then I've read each book and watched each season way more than a grown man should.
     So during one of my mini marathons, after a potentially gory scene, I asked myself the question, "Who is the most dangerous person in Westeros? " Now those that watch the show will tell you that this is a loaded question. For a show where the only constant rule seems to be Anybody can get it, at anytime, dangerous is a complicated term. You see, everyone on the show is dangerous. If you're soft, you've probably been dead for several seasons.  So how dangerous is dangerous?
       See I took this seriously enough that I didn't want to leave this solely to my opinion, so I compiled a group of fans that I know are dedicated viewers. I gave them a vote for their top 5. My vote was double weighted simply because I gotta type all this and so was my girl's because she had to lay up and listen to me ramble about this for several nights. But the current question posed by my makeshift committee was "Dangerous, how? ".
     Danger on GOT comes in various forms. Some people are dangerous due to physical strength or skill with a weapon. Some people have dangerous minds. Some people just have a lot of money and resources. Some are a combination. I came up with a semi complicated formula that weighs this out and thanks to the voters, I'm proud to present to you The 2016 Westeros' Most Dangerous Hall of Fame. Cue the violins.

Honorable mention

    

Daario Naharis

    Formerly one of the captains for the mercenary army The Second Sons, Daario is supposed to be pretty nice with his hand to hand combat skills. How nice you ask? He had to murder his commanding officers to defect to Daenerys' army. Could've made the list but had to be penalized by being played by two different actors. Still he's always quick to volunteer whenever his queen needs somebody murdered, he's quick to volunteer.

Ser Jorah Mormount

   Or as I prefer to call him Lord Commander of the Friend Zone. Blatantly in love with his Khaleesi, he would fight through anyone or anything for just a whiff of that Targaryan chocha. He is a exiled knight and the current thrice fired, advisor to Daenerys. 

Barriston Selmy

The former commander to the Kingsguard before being released by Jofferey. Died while in service to Queen Daenerys. Was one of the most legendary and most respected fighters of his day.  When other dangerous people respect you, it says a lot. 

Bronn

A smart fighter with an equally smart mouth , Bronn began as hired muscle for Tyrion Lannister. Though he shares his employers zest for whores and drinking, he's a very accomplished murderer who isn't intimidated by anyone. 

Ned Stark and Robert Baratheon

Childhood friends who later in life joined forces to overthrow the Mad King, these two fighters glory days are mostly behind them when the series starts. But based on some of the memories of the other characters, neither one was to be taken lightly in their day. 

The Top 25

25. Qyburn

This guy is the Westeros equivalent of a mad scientist.Once a former maester of the Citadel, he was summarily dismissed from the order for practicing forbidden experiments up to and including necromancy. You know you're a bad man when your job is to resurrect other bad men.

24. Robb Stark

Oldest son and heir to Ned Stark. the self proclaimed King of the North; A noted tactical genius and military commander. He was a real problem for some of the other characters on the show until he was betrayed by Walder Frey.

23. Lord Walder Frey 

One of the most evil old geezers in the seven kingdoms. He is notoriously touchy and never forgets an insult. If he ever tells you that the beef is squashed, don't you believe it. The set up is coming.

https://youtu.be/j8K_GWbqw7k

22. Stannis Baratheon 

Middle of the Baratheon brothers, Stannis believes that he is the rightful king. So much so that nothing will stand in his way, and everyone else is expendable. Whether it's his wife,  or brother or daughter or any of the dudes that work for him.

21. Lady Olenna Tyrell

Don't let the gray hair and wrinkles fool you. This is one shrewd old lady who can play the game with the best of them. She's got plans inside of plans. Originally higher on the list but I had to drop her due to her lack of retaliation against the High Sparrow for imprisoning her kids. But I'm sure she'll come back with a vengeance. 

https://youtu.be/cFZen-XO5II

20. Oberyn Martell

In my opinion one of the pound for pound most dangerous characters ever. Could kill you with a weapon or poison just as easy. I fought for the Red Viper of Dorne to be higher on the list but most of his street cred is based on reputation. And when he did fight, he wound up on the wrong side of one of the greatest comeback efforts in the history of violence.

19. Lord Roose Bolton 

Former bannerman under Robb Stark, until he betrayed him to become Warden of the North, this is one of the most icily cold and calculating dudes out there. How evil is he? The symbol for his house is flayed man. For those of you who don't know what that is, Google that shit!

18. Jaime "The Kingslayer" Lannister 

One of my favorite characters so I'm just gonna gloss over the incest. Killer of the Mad King and member of the Kingsguard, Jaime Lannister was one of the most accomplished swordsman in the Seven Kingdoms. At least till he got that hand cut off. A very conflicted and complicated individual, he never hesitates to kill for those he loves.

17. The High Sparrow

Head Figure of a group of religious fanatics, sorta like the pope, who uses religion to incite the masses, manipulate governments, and justify atrocities, you know, sorta like the pope. His religious standing makes him more powerful than kings and queens on occasion.

https://youtu.be/SiMyExHhAC4

16. Jaquen H'ghar 

Aside from having the coolest way of speaking of himself in the third person, Jaquen H'ghar is a member of the deadliest order of assassins in history, The Faceless Men. Able to alter his appearance at will, Jaquen considers himself a loyal servant of the God of Death.

15. Sandor "The Hound" Clegane 

Originally served as the sworn sword of King Joffrey, until he quit his job in the most spectacular fashion. After that, he spends the rest of his time serving as the de facto body guard of Arya.

https://youtu.be/tozme1J7PpY

14. Brienne of Tarth

Though she is the eldest daughter of Lord Selwyn Tarth, Brienne is no dainty lady. She's very fond of strapping on her armor and mixing it up with the baddest dudes in Westeros including The Kingslayer,  The Hound and just once a bear.

https://youtu.be/DLUI6GxwNxk

13. Jofferey

Imagine how bad Justin Bieber would be if you gave him unlimited power,  even less morals and a fettish for ordering executions. You might have an inkling of what Joffrey Baratheon was like. Easily one of the most hated characters in the history of television.

12. Bran

The crippled son of Ned Stark also happens to be a powerful warg. This means he can enter the minds of animals and apparently Hodor and control them. This makes him immensely powerful however he's still in training. 

11.Tyrion Lannister 

One of the most beloved characters on the show, what he lacks in physical strength, he more than makes up for in smart mouth and sharp mind. Would rank higher except he's only dangerous when provoked. When left to his own devices,  he'd gladly spend his time drinking and whoring. 

10. Lord Varys 

This bald eunuch is the most elaborate spy master in the land. Highly intelligent and resourceful, he seems to know everyone's business and secrets. And you are never quite sure who's side he's on.

9. Tywin Lannister

Head of house Lannister, this dude doesn't do murders, he does genocides. Don't believe me ask the Starks. Very proudful, he puts the honor and position of his family ahead of everything.  Except Tyrion. He can't stand Tyrion.

8. Daenerys Targaryan

Fan favorite, motivated by a strong sense of justice, and a need to regain her family position, Khaleesi has been on a tear. She would have ranked higher if her strength wasn't so directly tied to her owning the worlds only three dragons. And the fact that she's been hanging out in Mereen for way too long.

7. Jon Snow

My personal favorite character. The guy is just a freaking hero. Despite not knowing who his mother is, Jon Snow was always ready to do his duty. And I refuse to believe he's dead. Damn Night's Watch.

6.Cersei Lannister

One of the most evil and vile women on the show, she will not hesitate to use her power as queen and a Lannister to rain down holy hell on whoever she felt wrong by. Her only weakness is she doesn't always think everything through.

5. Mellisandre

I could talk about how th Red Woman's mystical powers makes her one of the most powerful influential people on the show but I'll just sum her up in three words: Demon Shadow Baby!

4. Arya Stark

Though she has a respectable body count at present, this pick is about upside. Having done internships under some of the deadliest killers in the land, this little girl is going to be completely off the chain when everything is said and done. Valar Morgulis.

3. The Mountain Gregor Clegane

Cracks the top 5 on brute strength and propensity for violence alone. Anytime he makes you think The Hound is the good brother, that's saying a lot. Looking forward to him as some kind of unthinking frankenstein this season.

2. The Night's King

Leader of the White Walkers, and commander of an undead army, dude aint nothing to play with. Aside from looking creepy as all hell, he can raise his defeated enemies from the dead to fight for him. Now that's gangsta.

1. LittleFinger
What can I say about this slick talking s.o.b. right here? Aside from being directly responsible for 99% of the carnage on the show, these dude has no loyalties and zero morals, making him the official number one contender.

and now, the grand champion of danger in Westeros ,  The king of mean for 2016

RAMSEY BOLTON!

When I conducted the poll to come up with these rankings, Ramsay came in number one with a bullet! He was easily the consensus pick. You know a dude is dangerous when cutting off Theon's dick was like the 5th most evil thing he did. 

Special Thanks to everyone who participated in the voting. We gotta do this again next year. Same time same place. And dont forget, the night is dark and full of terrors.
