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.
Olly’s arc from a tragic, humble farm boy to a vengeful, mutinous member of the Night’s Watch ended in a death that probably didn’t leave many Game of Thrones viewers in mourning. From killing Ygritte to landing the fatal blow that killed Jon Snow, Olly’s single-minded hatred for the Wildlings proved to be his undoing.
