Bran Starkĭespite randomly warging away for, like, half an hour to follow the Night King around for no apparent reason, Bran came back to himself just in time to watch Theon die, say hi to the Night King - and then watch Arya ice the Night King, for real. Game of Thrones’ erstwhile Arya Underfoot proved to be the key to the entire fight - and she’ll live to tell the tale. Brienne of Tarthīoth Jaime and Brienne had a few close calls during the battle, but when the ice army shattered to pieces, they were still standing.
Jaime Lannisterįighting bravely alongside Brienne, Jaime ultimately was just fine. Daenerys Targaryenĭespite having a bafflingly terrible battle plan and winding up separated from her dragon and fighting for her life amid a crowd of wights, Dany made it out alive thanks to the bravery and sacrifice of her pal Ser Jorah. Though he was pleasingly useless through most of the fight and had several extremely close calls, Jon still lived to see another episode. So here’s the much happier list of characters we know survived the battle: Jon Snow HBOĪn astonishingly high number of characters survived this episode, from side characters that many fans had totally written off like Grey Worm to pretty much everyone in the Winterfell crypts - even though there was a brief dead uprising there, too. Who’s alive: everybody else! Stone cold, this kid. Though most of the major characters (including Grey Worm) remained unharmed, for the nameless characters of color, “The Long Night” was a massive bloodbath, made even worse given that so many figures who were so crucial in forging Daenerys’s path to the Iron Throne seemed to be completely disposable in the end. Virtually every single Dothraki, and countless Unsulliedīecause the Dothraki hordes were on the front lines of the battle, they were all but wiped out. But despite laying down some cool (pun intended) fire, he bit it when Arya’s dagger turned the Night King into shards. Viserionĭany’s former favorite sweet ride, Viserion, was killed and then revived last season as an undead ice dragon. The former commander of the Night’s Watch remained loyal to his brothers even in the heat of battle, rescuing Samwell Tarly from a wight only to become wight fodder himself seconds later, in the episode’s first gut-twisting farewell to a familiar character. Lord Beric DondarrionĪfter enjoying a few pleasant reunions before the battle, Beric, who once led the Brotherhood Without Banners and also wound up on Arya’s kill list for a stint, fought alongside Arya and the Hound until the bitter end, ultimately sacrificing himself to rescue Arya from a band of wights.
She, in turn, cried over him a lot in his final moments. Ser Jorah surely died living out his dearest fantasy: protecting his queen and the love of his life, Daenerys Targaryen, from a horde of wights. She then sadly (but dramatically!) came back briefly as an ice zombie herself. Little Lady Lyanna died in classic defiant kid style - taking out a zombie ice giant. But Bran told him he was “a good man” first, so he died at peace. In a death that surely surprised no one, Theon, who tasked himself with protecting Bran in the godswood, nobly sacrificed himself by charging the Night King in Bran’s defense.
