The sixth season of HBO's most popular series has come to an end, but we can't help but calm down. KinoPoisk decided to figure out which characters of the "Game of Thrones" were written as if on the knee, and which ones could be dispensed with altogether.
The sixth season of HBO's most popular series has come to an end, but we can't help but calm down. KinoPoisk I decided to figure out which characters of the Game of Thrones were written as if on their knees, and which ones could be dispensed with altogether.
"Game of Thrones" is famous for the fact that the laws of dramaturgy are often violated there, there is no white and black, and about all the characters are three-dimensional and can die at any moment. But still found in the most popular series HBO is a series of characters who are, shall we say, neither fish nor fowl. Nevertheless, they survived until the sixth season, and some (not all!) Even made it to the end. They seem to be good, they have potential, they play important roles, but their presence in the plot is played out somehow very unconvincingly, and the appearance on the screen does not cause anything but a yawn.
1 Mira Reid
She, along with Jojen, appeared out of nowhere and immediately asked for Bran Stark to be assistants. Unlike her brother, Mira does not possess any superpowers, except for the valuable ability to catch and butcher a rabbit. Well, yes, she obediently spent the whole season with Bran and Hodor in the cave and even advised the latter to hold the door. But it could have been anyone instead. The same Jojen, if he had not been sent to the forefathers by the skeletons that crawled out of the ground.
2. Edmure Tully
We love his uncle Blackfish Brynden, but not so much for Edmar. It was he who was married at the Red Wedding, and with his help Jamie took Riverrun, but the rest of the time Edmure only does what he looks down on and is tortured.
3. Rickon Stark
He is the only one of the Starks who was of no use. He disappeared somewhere for the whole season as a child, and then suddenly resurfaced as an adult uncle. Moreover, he ruined the entire Battle of the Bastards for Jon Snow, without realizing that he had to run in a zigzag. It says a lot about Rickon that we cared a lot more about his decapitated direwolf than we did about him.
4. Robin Arryn
He was just a nasty freak when he breastfed until puberty and hysterically destroyed Winterfell, built by Sansa from snow. And now he's also a lord Eagle's Nest, whom cunning stepfather Peter Baelish tries to keep out of control. It would be better if he pushed the guy into the moon door.
5. Ellaria Sand
Let's be honest: all story line Dorna is written in a shaky and uncertain hand. Majority worst scenes series take place there, and, characteristically, Ellaria is certainly present in them. She and Oberyn's daughters, of course, fit in perfectly with the feminization of the world of Westeros and Essos. But the Dornish fighting "snakes" are too obsessed with the idea of revenge, and this does not give their actions rationality and balance at all.
6. Daario Naharis
Nobody cares so much about this character that the creators of the series did not even hesitate to change the actor at the crossing. Neither does Daenerys care about him, who at first giggled like a schoolgirl in his presence, and then at the first opportunity left him in Meereen to look after the pyramid. Daario didn't seem to care about himself either, because he didn't even put up much of a fight.
7. Gray Worm
Everyone has already understood that the Gray Worm has an underdeveloped personal development due to his militaristic upbringing? Not? Do not worry, in all the scenes with his presence, we are reminded of this every five seconds. The leader of the Unsullied is clumsily playing tricks with Missandei, trying to speak common language and even drink wine, but all the rest of the time he just stands and stares sternly into the distance.
8. Gilly
Let her go, Sam. Just let go already.
These three characters deserve special mention. In fact, we love them very much, but that is why we want the writers to take their actions and motivations more seriously.
Davos Seaworth
The Onion Knight has always boasted of his loyalty to Stannis, but after the death of his king, without much hesitation, he defected to the neighboring camp. Let's face it, he immediately forgot about Stannis and began to nurse the temporarily deceased Jon Snow. For a character whose life is built on honor and loyalty, this is at least a dubious move.
Jorah Mormont
At first he was one of best characters sagas. Only here in recent times Sir Jorah does nothing but sigh for an inaccessible girl and mask problematic skin. Just like a high school student, honestly.
Samwell Tarly
In general, Sam is kind, charming and wise. But in last season as part of the useful mission of becoming a maester, he acted unconvincingly. All his actions fit into the scheme " I really like this girl, so I will carry her everywhere with me, and at the same time I will steal the sword". I don’t want to repeat the phrase about the high school student, but in principle everything is so.
(Sean Bean) Eddard/Ned Stark
Second son of Lord Rickard Stark. Lord of Winterfell. Guardian of the North, heir to the ancient Kings of the North. Hand of the King and one of the possible regents for the heir to the throne after the death of Robert Baratheon.
Eddard Stark executes a deserter from the Night's Watch, who claims that he and his companions have been attacked by the Others. On their way back to Winterfell, their party finds a dead direwolf whose throat has been pierced by a deer antler, and several newborn cubs. Under the persuasion of his bastard Jon Snow, Ned decides not to kill the direwolves, but to divide them among his children.
He soon receives news of the death of Jon Arryn, who raised him and Robert Baratheon and served as his Hand. After some time, the king arrives in Winterfell and persuades Ned to take the post of the Hand. Eddard reluctantly agrees to accept the position and also to carry out the engagement of his daughter Sansa and Prince Joffrey Baratheon. Soon another news comes from Catelyn's sister, Lysa Arryn, in which the woman reports that the Lannisters were involved in the death of her husband.
As Eddard ponders why Jon Arryn was so interested in Robert's bastards, he is horrified to discover that the King's three children are in fact the incest between Queen Cersei and her brother Jaime Lannister. Eddard tells Cersei that he knows her secret and gives her a chance to run away with her children. However, the time given to her is used by Cersei to orchestrate the assassination of Robert Baratheon and bribe the King's Landing City Watch. When the king was on his deathbed, Ned refuses to accept Renly Baratheon's help and imprison the queen's children, and also refuses to heed the advice of Petyr Baelish to recognize Joffrey Baratheon as king and become regent under him. Instead, he plans to help Robert's next eldest brother, Stannis Baratheon, win the throne. Littlefinger promises Ned to provide support for the golden cloaks, but betrays him immediately after the king's death. Eddard Stark was arrested for treason as a result of the Queen's bribery of the City Watch and the betrayal of Petyr Baelish. Varys visits Ned in the dungeon and tells him that if he confesses to treason, he will be spared his life and given the opportunity to enter into The night Watch. Eddard initially refuses, but then agrees to step on the throat of his pride in order to save the life of Sansa, who is being held hostage by the Lannisters. His trial takes place at the foot of the Great Sept of Baelor, where, unnoticed by Ned, Yoren, his daughter Arya, and Ser Barristan Selmy in disguise are also present among the crowd. He makes a false confession of his treason, but things do not go according to plan, Joffrey, much to the amazement of Sansa, Cersei and Varys, says that the execution must take place. Ilin Payne cuts off Eddard Stark's head with his own two-handed sword, which bears the name Ice. Joffrey places Ned's head on one of the pikes and forces Sansa to look at it.
(Michelle Fairley) Catelyn Stark
(Richard Madden) Robb Stark
Robb Stark, nicknamed the Young Wolf, is the eldest son of Eddard Stark and Catelyn Tully, heir to his father. As his father's eldest son and heir, Robb was groomed from childhood to be Lord of Winterfell. Maester Luwin taught him the sciences, and Master of Arms Ser Rodrik Cassel taught him how to hold a sword. At the head of an army of twenty thousand, Robb rushes to the aid of his mother's father, Hoster Tully, at Riverrun, which is besieged by Lannister troops. To do this, he was forced to enter into an alliance with Walder Frey, the Lord of the Crossing provided him with his army and opened a direct road to the south, in return Robb promised to marry one of the girls of his house.
Robb wanted to lure Tywin Lannister's troops to the west and there, at last, give him battle in a favorable position for himself. However, this plan collapsed, Lord Tywin went south, where he formed an alliance with the Tyrells and defeated Stannis Baratheon at the Battle of the Blackwater. In addition, returning to Riverrun, Stark learned that Lady Catelyn had freed Jaime Lannister. He forgave her, but this event caused the Karstarks to revolt. Robb was forced to sentence Rickard Karstark to death and personally execute him. But more terrible than the apparent betrayal of the Karstarks was the secret Roose Bolton. It resulted in the defeat of the Northerners at the Battle of Duskdale and at the Battle of Winterfell. The young king was betrayed by his vassals, had no allies, was cut off from his home, and was forced to fight a two-front war against outnumbered enemies. Robb bitterly confessed to his mother that he was winning battles but losing the war.
Taking advantage of the temporary lull in the war, Robb decided to return to the North and drive the ironborn out of the territories they occupied. But for this it was necessary to renew the alliance with the Freys. To atone for the damage done to the honor of House Frey, Edmure Tully agrees to marry Lord Walder's daughter instead of Robb. The Northmen army headed for the Twins, right into the trap set by Tywin Lannister, Roose Bolton, and Walder Frey. It is noteworthy that the gift of the gods - Gray Wind twice tried to warn Robb of the danger: first by attacking Rolf Spicer, and then refusing to enter the Twins, but Robb turned out to be deaf to the voice of the gods.
King of the North and the Trident Robb Stark and most of his armies were treacherously massacred at the Red Wedding. The enemies mocked his body for a long time, they cut off his head and sewed in its place the head of his dire wolf Gray Wind.
(Sophie Turner) Sansa Stark
Sansa inherited her mother's high, thin cheekbones Blue colour eyes and thick, colors autumn leaves, Tully's hair. Smiling, charming, sweet, unusually graceful, polite, eager to please everyone - Sansa is the epitome of true lady. At the start of the saga, Sansa is eleven years old. During Robert Baratheon's visit to Winterfell, Ned Stark, her father, is appointed Hand of the King, and Sansa is engaged to the heir to the throne, Prince Joffrey Baratheon. Sansa is thrilled at the prospect of leaving for King's Landing and marrying a handsome prince - it seems to her that all her dreams come true, and life becomes a beautiful song. At first, she has a good relationship with Joffrey - the beautiful and courteous Sansa produces pleasant impression on the royal family. Sansa blindly falls in love with the prince, and considers the queen an example and admires her.
Sansa attends King Joffrey's thirteenth name day tournament. When Ser Dontos Hollard comes out drunk and naked against his rival, Joffrey sets out to execute him (drown him in wine). However, Sansa, taking pity on the drunkard who did not wish harm to anyone, intervenes, lying that killing someone on a name day is a bad omen. Joffrey does not believe her at first, but the Dog supports this lie, and Ser Dontos is saved from death: the king agrees to leave him at court as a fool. Dontos remains grateful to Sansa for saving his life.
(Maisie Williams) Arya Stark
Daring and freedom-loving, preferring weapons and horses to embroidery since childhood, Arya is the exact opposite of Sansa Stark. Ned Stark noticed the similarities between Arya and his sister Lyanna: the same courage and determination, nobility and desire for justice, the same neglect of studies " real lady". Arya has trained in sword fighting and is an excellent rider. Catelyn believes that if Arya is forbidden something, she will want it even more. She also remembers that Arya always says whatever comes into her head.
Arya escapes King's Landing with Yoren and his band of recruits to join the Night's Watch. To hide Arya's identity, Yoren cuts her hair and says that she is no longer Arya, but Arry, a recruit traveling to the Wall. In reality, Yoren wanted to bring Arya home to Winterfell. Some time later, Yoren's squad took refuge in an abandoned castle near God's Eye and was attacked by the people of Amory Lorch. Arry, Gendry, Hot Pie, and Lommy Green Hands escape by escaping through an underground passage. Before escaping, Arya rescues three prisoners who were sent to the Night's Watch - Jaqen Hgar, Rorzh and Kusaku.
She continues her journey with the survivors until the entire company is captured by Ser Gregor Clegane and his squad. For eight days the prisoners were kept in a barn. Then they get to Harrenhal and there they become servants of the Lannisters. A few days later, she sees Jaqen again and the others she rescued, now serving Amory Lorch. Arya creates her "list". There she brings people she hates and wants to kill.
One night, Jaqen came to Arya and said that he would kill any three people she named for the three she saved. Chiswick becomes the first person: Arya overheard him boasting about having participated in a gang rape. He dies three days later. The next person is Wiz, for constantly hitting Arya's friends and herself; Arya also hated Wiz the dog. As a result, this same dog bit his master. Arya thought about the third name for a long time, she realized that she needed to name someone more important - for example, Tywin Lannister or Amory Lorch.
When the captive northerners - Robett Glover and his squad - are brought to the castle, Arya asks Gendry to help her free them, but he refuses. That same night, Jaqen finds Arya and asks her to give her third name. Arya asks Jaqen to help her free the northerners, but he says he can only kill one sentry. Then Arya calls Hgaroo him given name— Jaken. The shocked killer agrees to help, in return Arya will have to name another person. Arya, Jaqen, Rorzh and Kusaka kill all the guards and free the prisoners. Arya fulfills her promise and takes Jaqen's name. She wants to name a new person, but Jaken points out to her all the corpses lying near them and says that the debt to the Many-Faces and Arya has been paid. Then, Jaqen, to Arya's amazement, changes his face right in front of her, saying "it's time for this man [Jacken] to die." In parting, he gives her a coin; if she ever wants to find him, let her go to any person from Braavos and say "Valar Morghulis." It is noteworthy that Jaqen calls Arya all her names (Weasel, Arry, Arya), and later calls her "Milady Stark" altogether.
(Isaac Hempstead-Wright) Brandon/Bran Stark
Impressive and dreamy, he grew up on the tales of the old woman Nen, knowing the world through legends and traditions, believing in what others considered fiction. His favorite pastime was wall-climbing, and as a child he climbed all the walls and towers of Winterfell. Bran intended to become a knight of the Kingsguard when he grew up, but it was the arrival of the royal person that changed his fate once and for all. During Robert Baratheon's visit to Winterfell, Lord Stark's seven-year-old son happened to be a bystander love scene between Cersei and Jaime Lannister. The latter, getting rid of the boy, threw Bran off a high wall. However, Bran did not die as Cersei and Jaime had hoped. With multiple fractures for a long time was on the verge of life and death. At this time, he discovered supernatural abilities: Bran learned to "inhabit" the body of his dire wolf Leto and other people, gained the ability to see "green" (prophetic) dreams. Also, during his injury and unconsciousness, he saw in his dreams a three-eyed crow, which ordered him to “fly”, showed the world, future and past. It was she who was one of the factors that helped Bran return to real world. After that, he often saw this crow in his dreams. Bran Stark was in Winterfell until the attack on Theon Greyjoy's castle. The younger Starks were declared dead. But Bran was lucky again: he, along with baby Rickon, was rescued by Mira and Jojen Reed, the children of Howland Reed, and Osha, a woman from the Wildlings. In the future, they had to split up: the fate of Rickon has since been unknown, and Bran, along with Hodor and the children of the Lord in the Marshes, went beyond the Wall (according to Jojen's "green dreams", Bran had to go there to learn how to fly). Once in the Nightfort, the fugitives met Samwell Tarly, who helped them cross the Wall, opening a secret passage under the castle.
(Art Parkinson) Rickon Stark
A cheerful and cheerful child, charming and smiling, like Tully, but even at a young age he showed the inherent feeling of the Starks dignity. Appearance went to the mother: brown hair, blue eyes. Loved sweets and games, very stubborn for his age.
After his mother left for the south, Rickon refused to cut his hair: his hair became long and naughty. The boy's childhood became difficult, it was hard for him to cope with the terrible changes that the war had imposed on his life and family. These changes were reflected in his dire wolf Shaggy Dog. Rickon took one of the direwolves found by the Starks and named it Shaggydog. After his father left Winterfell and his mother mourned at Bran's bedside, he hung around Robb and wept. The boy was very upset when he found out that Robb was also leaving, later Rickon was found in the crypts, where he attacked two men with Shaggy Dog and iron sword taken from one of the coffins. When Robb left, Rickon refused to come out and say goodbye. Shortly after death
(Kit Harington) Jon Snow
John is a thin, dark-haired, grey-eyed youth. Of all the sons of Eddard Stark, it is Jon who most resembles him in appearance.
John was brought up with legitimate children, despite the fact that this was not accepted (bastards were left to themselves), and his stepmother Lady Catelyn Stark hated him (even admitting that this was unfair) and did not tire of reminding her husband of this. One of the reasons for Lady Catelyn's hatred was the fact that John's face was more similar to his father than 3 legitimate sons, each of whom inherited her red hair and face. In any case, John was taught horseback riding, swordsmanship and literacy. He, along with his brothers, accompanied his father to the court, and on the whole, the attitude of the brothers, sisters and father towards him was emphasized as equal. John especially loved his younger sister Arya, who was the only one who could easily make him laugh. The book emphasizes the similarities between John and Arya, their "Stark" appearance. Interestingly, Benjen Stark considered the Wall a bad place for a boy like John, which he told him at a feast in honor of the arrival of King Robert. During this conversation, Ben advised John to think about Stan later, when he himself became the father of several bastards, to which John vehemently ruled out the very possibility of giving birth to a bastard and ran out in tears. Outside, he met Tyrion Lannister, and the two had a momentous conversation that marked the beginning of a friendship between the dwarf and the bastard.
After John and some others were admitted to the next rank of the Night's Watch, Sam found himself alone. Fearing for his fate, Jon went to Maester Aemon and convinced him that Sam could be useful to him and that if he was left now, he would perish. Following Jon's request, Maester Aemon took Sam in to help tend the ravens and the library. On the same day, the oath ceremony took place, and the distribution of recruits took place. John dreamed of becoming a tracker, but became a steward under Jeor Mormont. This decision (the personal wish of the Lord Commander, by the way) pissed John off, but in the evening he left the Wall to take his vows. That's when the Ghost brought the rotting human hand. The gruesome find pointed to a man from Benjen Stark's squad, and in his confusion, Jeor ordered the two corpses found to be taken to Maester Aemon for further examination. Upon returning to the castle, Jeor Mormont summoned Jon and informed him of the death of King Robert Baratheon and the arrest of Jon's father, Eddard Stark. That same night, John awoke to the sound of the Ghost scratching the door with its claws. Behind it, John saw the corpses of the guards and hurried to the cell of the Lord Commander, where he found the "awakened" corpse of Otor. There, Jon saved Mormont's life at the cost of a mutilated hand, and the Lord Commander bestowed upon him the Valyrian one-and-a-half blade Longclaw, the Mormont family sword. By order of the commander, the head of the sword, which was previously an image of a bear, was remade into the head of a wolf.
On the same day, John became aware that his brother Robb had entered the War of the Five Kings. Maester Aemon, having learned about this, summoned Jon to himself and told, in particular, that he had once been Aemon Targaryen. However, John found it necessary to be near his brother and fled from the castle at night, but was overtaken by friends and escorted back to the Black Castle. In the morning, Jeor Mormont called John to him: of course, he knew about the night incident, and said that, according to tradition, his personal steward was also his squire, but he had no desire to take John to him in this capacity, if he had at least a shadow of suspicion that what happened at night will happen again. John made a promise that he would be persistent.
Soon the sounds of the approaching army of Mance began to reach the Black Castle. It went slowly, and John decided to use what time he had left to inspect all the defenses that the castle had. Now the defenders slept right on the Wall, except for the too old and infirm. One night, John was called to a council. Maester Aemon, Sellador, and Ser Winton were here. John didn't know the rest. Among the strangers was Janos Slynt. He accused Jon of treason by providing the Bone Lord's testimony about Jon's murder of Halfhand and demanded Jon's execution. Until the circumstances were clarified, he was caged and kept there for five days, until Maester Aemon wrote to Lord Commander of the Eastwatch Kotter Pyke, and Janos Slynt was forced to release Jon. While Jon was imprisoned, Slynt arranged negotiations with Mance, and sent Jon to them, demanding that he kill Mance at the first opportunity. Beyond the Wall, Jon was met by Tormund, who was mercifully friendly with him, but Mance was not. He told Jon that the Horn of Winter had been found, and that if the Watch didn't let his men through the Wall, he would blow his horn and stop the Others from killing. At that moment, the sound of a horn rang out - these were the men of Stannis Baratheon. In a brief battle, the soldiers from Dragonstone gained the upper hand over the crowd of wildlings.
So, the troops of Stannis Baratheon (albeit battered) were on the Wall. Stannis called Jon to him and told him that he did not believe in the justice of the accusations against him, because he remembered who Janos Slynt was and who Eddard Stark was. Stannis also told Jon that after the deaths of Robb, Bran, and Rickon, Bolton was appointed Warden of the North, and the Iron Men attacked the North with west coast; in connection with all this, Stannis needs a henchman in the North, the son of Eddard Stark. However, Jon refused to bend the knee to Stannis and disregard the oaths to the Old Gods, even though Melisandre thought them empty. In addition, Stannis expressed a desire to settle those of the wildlings who would bow the knee before him and accept the faith of R'hllor, in the Gift, and in order to strengthen the alliance between him, the northerners and the wildlings, he wishes to arrange a marriage between Jon, Lord of Winterfell, and Vel, a wildling princess (as Stannis decided). Confused, Jon asked Stannis for time to think, and the king replied that he was willing to wait, though not for long.
Rickon Stark - younger son Eddard Stark and Catelyn Stark, brother of Robb Stark, Sansa Stark, Brandon (Bran) Stark and Arya Stark, half-brother of Jon Snow.
Rickona the Direwolf - Shaggy Dog, the most ferocious of the entire brood. Like all Starks of this generation - Warg.

Biography
Game of Thrones
Rickon took one of the direwolves found by the Starks and named him Shaggy Dog. After his father left Winterfell, and his mother mourned for a long time at the bedside, Bran hung around Robb and cried. The boy was very upset when he learned that Robb was also leaving, later Rickon was found in the crypts, where he attacked two men with Shaggy Dog and an iron sword taken from one of the coffins. When Robb left, Rickon refused to come out and say goodbye. Shortly after Eddard's death in King's Landing, Bran and Rickon saw their father's spirit in the crypt.
clash of kings
The Starks are devastated by Eddard's death, and Rickon is left with little to no care as his older brother and mother go off to war while his sisters are held captive in King's Landing. Alone with his crippled brother Bran in Winterfell, Rickon becomes rebellious, very short-tempered. His fear and rage are reflected in the Shaggy Dog, who bites the inhabitants of the castle. Rickon befriended Big and Little Walder Frey, they were sent to Winterfell under an agreement between Robb Stark and Walder Frey.
The boy became a hostage of Theon Greyjoy when he captured Winterfell. Later, he managed to escape and hide in the crypt of the castle along with his brother, Hodor, Mira and Jojen Reed, and a woman from the wildlings of Osh. After Winterfell was sacked and burned by Ramsey Snow, the fugitives crawled out. In the godswood, they found the dying Maester Luwin, who asks them to split into two groups. Osha agrees to take care of Rikon and takes him with the direwolf to an unknown destination.
Dance with dragons
Most people in Westeros think Rickon is dead. Vex Pike, an ironborn survivor of the arrival of the Dreadforts in Winterfell, hid in a tree, followed the path of Osha, Rickon and Shaggy Dog to Skagos, after which he was captured and taken to White Harbor, where he told Lord Manderly and Robett Glover everything he knew.
When Davos Seaworth tried to convince Lord Manderly to swear allegiance to Stannis, he was arrested and sentenced to death. His death was the guarantor of the return of the son and heir of Lord Wyman from captivity. Instead of Davos, a criminal similar to him was executed. Wyman Manderly introduced the Hand of the Vex and explained his actions and future plans:
Roose Bolton has Lord Eddard's daughter. To stop him, White Harbor needs Ned's son... And a dire wolf. The wolf will prove that the boy is really who we say he is if the Dreadfort tries to dispute his origins. That is my price, Lord Davos. Smuggle my overlord and I will recognize Stannis Baratheon as my king.
Dance with Dragons, Davos IV.
Thus, the lord of White Harbor promised to swear allegiance to the king if Davos brought him overlord - little Rickon Stark - and his dire wolf. When Davos asked where Rickon was, Vex threw his dagger at a map hanging on the wall. To Davos' dismay, he points to Skagos and has no choice but to travel to the infamous island to find the boy.
TV series
Rickon, like all Stark children, is older in the series - in the first season he is 6 years old, and therefore he not only already knows how to speak well, but is also quite independent. When Bran decides to split up and go beyond the Wall in the third season, Rickon is initially reluctant and wants to go with his brother, but eventually succumbs to him. Later, already at night, they leave with Osha towards the Last Hearth - the home of the Ambers.
Rickon reappears in the sixth season. The Ambers, dissatisfied with the fact that Jon Snow let the wildlings through the Wall, swear allegiance to the Boltons and give Ramsey Rickon and Osha as a sign of loyalty, as well as the head of Shaggy Dog, as proof of the boy's identity. It is in order to save Rickon that John nevertheless decides to recapture Winterfell from the Boltons. However, the boy still dies: Ramsey drags him to the battlefield for Winterfell, frees him and offers to play a game - Rickon must run to his brother and his troops while Ramsey shoots at him. John rushes to help his brother, but does not have time and Ramsey's arrow hits the boy in the heart. With his death, the battle for Winterfell begins.
After the fight, John says that Rickon will be buried in the crypt, next to his father.
In the sixth season, in the first five episodes, we lost two direwolves at once. The shaggy dog that belonged to Rickon Stark was decapitated by Little John Umber and brought the head of the beast to Ramsay Bolton as proof that Rickon Stark was indeed his prisoner.
Leto, Bran's dire wolf, died during the battle with the dead in the cave of the Three-Eyed Raven. A heroic death in the name of protecting his master... But was it really impossible to save the wolf's life? After all, it was clear that he could not stop the dead, and the sacrifice was meaningless.

Bran's loyal assistant Hodor also died. Thus, the creators of the series revealed the secret of his name, it was formed from the phrase hold the door - “shut the door”. Hodor essentially fulfilled his purpose and, by closing the door to the cave, saved Bran's life. It’s a pity, it’s a pity that the strong man could not escape from them ...
What a pity and Rickon Stark, who died, almost reaching his brother Jon Snow.
For five whole seasons, Rickon managed to survive in a hostile world, but when he got to Ramsey, he was doomed.
The bastard of Bolton released Rickon on the field before the battle and ordered him to run towards Jon Snow, while he fired arrows at him along the way, deliberately missing. And when Rickon was already at the target, the last arrow hit the heart. Another innocent Stark is dead... It's scary to think how many goodies we'll miss the next two seasons. We look forward to the premiere next spring.
"Game of Thrones" is known not only for explicit erotica, but also for horrifying scenes of violence. Throughout the history of the television series, dozens of heroes have laid down their heads, and the last minutes of some of them were full of torment and suffering. While the inhabitants of the Seven Kingdoms continue to destroy each other with the most in sophisticated ways, we will remember those who were killed with particular cruelty. Here are the 20 most horrific deaths Westeros has seen.
20. Shaya
Shai's death was as horrific as it was heartbreaking, for even after the monstrous betrayal she committed, Tyrion Lannister continued to love her. Finding Shaya in his father Tywin's bed, he strangled her with a golden chain.
Time of Death: Season 4, episode "Children".
19. Vardis Egen
This hero's death may not be as spectacular as the others, but it showed us just how strong Tyrion's protector Bronn is. At trial by combat, he stabbed Vardis Igen in the throat, and then threw the bleeding Knight of the Vale through the Moon Door.
18. High Septon, Margaery Tyrell, Mace Tyrell, Loras Tyrell, Lancel Lannister, Kevan Lannister
Wild fire can melt stone and steel, and melt flesh like butter. It was he who was used by Cersei to destroy her enemies. All the heroes caught in the Great Sept of Baelor when it exploded were burned to death.
17. Jory Cassel
The captain of the House Stark Guard was killed in action. Cassel engaged Jaime Lannister while defending King Robert's Hand and was stabbed in the eye with a dagger.
Time of Death: Season 1, episode "The Wolf and the Lion".
16. Ros
Littlefinger was not too happy to learn that Ros was spying on him for Lord Varys and gave the girl to Joffrey. Probably, Petyr Baelish imagined how it would end: the sadistic king shot her with his favorite crossbow.
Time of Death: Season 3, episode "Rise".
15 The Flea Bottom Dweller Who Taunted Cersei
For mocking the queen during her shameful procession through the capital and the subsequent boasting, Gregor Clegane smashed his head against the wall.
