In honor of the eighth and final season of Game of Thrones, IGN is taking a look back at some of the iconic characters who’ve fallen along the way, and the lasting impact they had on the story. These heroes and villains may not have made it to the end of the road, but their lives weren’t in vain – they stand as a fitting reminder that when you play the game of thrones, you win, or you die.
From commander of the City Watch to disgraced member of the Night’s Watch, Janos Slynt wasn’t known for his honor. In fact, he was a character who became a thorn in enough powerful sides over the course of his journey that he frequently found himself booted from the corridors of power he backstabbed and betrayed his way into. Let’s just say that if Arya Stark had ever encountered Slynt, he certainly would have ended up on her list.
