Game of Thrones is easily one of the most complex fantasy series ever to appear on TV, with a cast of hundreds all playing a role in the wars to determine the true ruler of Westeros and decide the fate of the living. Many of these characters evolved quite a bit over the course of eight seasons, to the point where they’re hardly recognizable by the end — we’re looking at you, Lino Facioli as Robin Arryn!
With that in mind, we thought it would be fun to compare the first and last scenes of all the major players of the Game of Thrones saga. How did their appearance change? How different a person had they become in the end? Note that we’re only including characters who played a major role over the course of several seasons rather than just one or two, where there appearances and costumes would have changed, which is why some big names like Khal Drogo, Oberyn Martell and Euron Greyjoy were left out. Spoilers, obviously, lie ahead!
