The Coolest ‘Game of Thrones’ Side Characters You Barely Even Saw

Any “Game of Thrones” fan can name the main characters like Jon Snow, Ned Stark, Lannister and Khaleesi.

But there are lots of other awesome characters who’ve graced our screens only a few times…

Ser Brynden ‘The Blackfish’ Tully

HBO has announced its plan for a “Game of Thrones” prequel series. We’re sure we’re not alone in our impatient enthusiasm for its premiere. And we’ve got a lot of questions about it. But, more than anything, we’re hoping it’ll give us the Blackfish in his heyday.

We already know the guy’s a Westerosi legend. We need more.

Osha

If we’ve learned anything from “Game of Thrones,” it’s this: To live as a wildling may be the best life in the Seven Kingdoms. But to die badly as a wildling seems inevitable. Osha was fiery, spirited and protective as hell of the Stark boys by the end.

But the end still came, and we’re still mourning her.

Oberyn Martell

Oberyn, we hardly knew ye. A ladies man he was. A warrior? Debatable. Oberyn Martell may have enjoyed a reputation as a fighter. After all, he wasn’t called the Red Viper of Dorne for nothing.

But there wasn’t a whole lot he could do to save his own life once Gregor “The Mountain That Rides” Clegane aimed to kill him. Especially when his infamous arrogance came into play.

Doreah

Doreah isn’t your average, everyday bed slave. Trained in the art of pleasure, she offered her Khaleesi personal lessons in being a good wife to Khal Drogo. Her “friendship” with Daenerys was on its way to becoming next-level hot.

But that got kind of dicey when you remembered that Daenerys is only 13 in the books. It didn’t help when Doreah betrayed Daenerys in the end.
