Joint second goes to Jon Snow and Cersei Lanniser, followed by Daenerys Targaryen in third place. It is the Hand of the Queen, Tyrion Lannister, who takes the top spot for most lines spoken. And, although heralded as a feminist show due to the portrayal of strong and complex characters, such as Daenerys Targaryen and Arya Stark, 75 per cent of all speaking lines in Game of Thrones were given to men. However, all the killing in Game of Thrones would be meaningless without the intelligent writing behind the series. It turns out that Drogon, a dragon, is the deadliest character in the Game of Thrones universe, followed closely by Arya Stark, due to her time spent as an assassin. While many of the on-screen deaths over the course of the show came during the numerous battles subterfuge and assassination also played their part in providing the grisly entertainment throughout the show. In fact, research compiled by Biomedcentral showed that important characters had a 14 per cent chance of being killed in the first hour after appearing, and there was a higher likelihood of survival as a woman, a highborn, or someone who switched allegiance. With all these rampaging murderers, it is no surprise that the most common cause of death for important characters Game of Thrones is injuries, followed by burns and poisoning. This is mainly due to the epic on-screen battles that rounded off the show In fact, 50 per cent more characters died in the final season than every other season combined. Game of Thrones made a name for itself by killing off major characters at unexpected moments – with season 8 the deadliest yet: 3,253 characters were killed on screen compared to the just 59 in season 1.
