About This Quiz
*SPOILER ALERT ... THIS QUIZ IS TOUGH AND FULL OF SPOILERS*ÂÂ
Chaos may be a ladder, but "Game of Thrones" is a sensation. Based on the "A Song of Ice and Fire" series by George R. R. Martin, this TV show has proven itself time and again to be among the highest ranking (if not the highest ranking) television shows of all time. The show has it all: special effects that rival those in modern movies, unapologetic gore and one heck of a cast. With stars like Maisie Williams, Emilia Clarke and Kit Harington bringing Martin's epic characters to life, this show simply could not lose, and it doesn't. Every year it airs, it wins fistfuls of Emmy awards and tackles any competition (well ... what some might try to call "competition" anyway).ÂÂ
However, the show would be nothing without the development of the characters that Martin has created. Each of these characters serves a greater purpose and has a destiny that we viewers couldn't even imagine, but if you're a true "Game of Thrones" fan, you will always try. You want to find the little things that show where these characters are going or how they might end up (which is mostly dead on this show). If you love the characters on this epic show more than you love the story lines, it's time to take a little quiz. Let's see if you can name these "Game of Thrones Characters" from just three hints.
She has red hair, is a witch, and Davos hates her. Who is she?
Cersei Lannister
Melisandre
Also known as the Red Woman and the Red Priestess, Melisandre was initially introduced as Stannis Baratheon's right hand woman (as Davos is his right hand man). She lost a lot of love from fans when she killed a child for king's blood, but *kind of* redeemed herself in Season 8, Episode 3.
Sansa Stark
Brienne of Tarth
This character never talks, was the king's justice and scares Sansa Stark. Do you know who he is?
Hodor
Bran Stark
Ilyn Payne
You may not remember his name, but you will definitely remember him as the man who chopped off Ned Stark's head with his own sword. While Ilyn Payne plays a somewhat deeper role in the books, he kind of disappeared from the TV show.
Tyrion Lannister
The Red Witch put leeches on his body, Arya has a crush on him and he's an excellent blacksmith, but do you know his name?
Gendry
Arya first meets Gendry when she is running from King's Landing after Ned Stark's death. She takes a liking to him, but does not know that he is Robert Baratheon's bastard son who is also running from King's Landing.
Hodor
Jon Snow
Rickon Stark

Which character knows nothing, is a great fighter and has already died once?
Jon Snow
We can all recognize Jon Snow from a screenshot, but remembering minor elements of his character might be a little more difficult. While we all thought he'd be the one to take down the Night King, we were all pleasantly surprised when he didn't.
Daenerys Targaryen
Brienne of Tarth
Tormund Giantsbane
Do you remember which character is nicknamed The Mountain, is the hound's brother and was stabbed by Oberyn Martell?
Gendry
Rickon Stark
Sandor Clegane
Gregor Clegane
The Mountain (or Gregor Clegane) is now known as Sir Robert Strong, but if you only watch the show and haven't read the books, you probably know him as Cersei's Franken-killer. He likes to smash people.
This character no longer goes by his given name, had a major injury early in the series and can see through the eyes of others. Who is he?
Sandor Clegane
The Hound
Tormund Giantsbane
Bran Stark
There must always be a Stark in Winterfell, until Bran has to escape, because Theon wants to kill him. Luckily, Bran gets beyond the wall, and ends up turning into the Three-Eyed Raven.

Do you remember the name of the character who was tortured, faked the death of the Stark boys and betrayed his friend?
Yara Greyjoy
Gendry
Theon Greyjoy
We know Theon Greyjoy as a pompous jerkface in the first couple of seasons. Then we know him as Reek. Then we know him as the coward who saves Sansa. Finally, he dies protecting Bran from the Night King. What a life. Most fans still don't know how to feel about him.
Arya Stark
Which character had to marry someone she didn't know, hatched some dragons and united every Khalasar?
Arya Stark
Daenerys Targaryen
We all know Daenarys by her 18 names and her gorgeous hair, but some didn't realize that she ended up fulfilling the prophecy that her son was supposed to fulfill. She was the Stallion Who Mounted the World (Are YOU going to tell her she's a "mare?")
Sansa Stark
Bran Stark
Can you name the character that was once loyal to Renly, is an excellent fighter and is in love with Jamie Lannister?
Brienne of Tarth
Brienne of Tarth is one of those characters you aren't really sure about when you first meet her, but as time goes by, you realize that she's pretty awesome. Her journey with Jaime Lannister and her other journey with Podrick are what helped us fall in love with her.
Cersei Lannister
Arya Stark
Sansa Stark
Advertisement
This character is great with the ladies, had to learn how to use a sword and saved Tyrion Lannister's life. Who is he?
Joffery Baratheon
Gilly
Podrick Payne
While Podrick Payne was meant to be Tyrion's squire in battles, he ended up being so much more. He stopped the man who was about to murder Tyrion at the battle of Blackwater and impressed some prostitutes, and when he was done, we all loved him.
Sandor Clegane
Which character was the first to kill a white walker, likes to read and has a girlfriend?
Maester Aemon
Bronn
Samwell Tarly
Some say that Samwell Tarly is going to be the storyteller of the "Game of Thrones" series. While there are a few extra details in the books, the show does a great job showing Sam's journey beyond the wall, to the Citadel and on to Winterfell.
Cersei Lannister
This character is a schemer, was in love with Catelyn Stark and killed her sister. Do you know his name?
Varys
Jorah Mormont
Petyr Baelish
This is the man that everyone grew to hate. While we were all a little skeptical of Varys, we soon learned that his greater interests were for the common good, but Baelish (also known as Littlefinger) was all about chaos.
Bronn

Which character never cut his hair, was in love with the dragon queen and rode horses?
Jon Snow
Sandor Clegane
Jaime Lannister
Khal Drogo
Khal Drogo seemed to be a bad guy the first time we met him, but once the dragon queen melted his heart with love, we started to see him as the perfect man for her ... of course, soon after he died a pretty terrible death.
Can you name the character who was a cruel king, made people beat Sansa and did horrible things with a crossbow?
Joffrey Baratheon
Everyone who has seen the show and read the books waited patiently for this boy king to finally kick the bucket. We wanted it to be the worst death possible, and although it wasn't the most gruesome death on the show, we were not disappointed.
Eddard Stark
Petyr Baelish
Bronn
Which king betrayed his allies, married in the field and had a wolf?
Jon Snow
Podrick Payne
Eddard Stark
Robb Stark
Even those who read the books were shocked at the death of Robb Stark at the Red Wedding. He had betrayed his ally Walder Frey and paid the price for his sins in the worst way possible.

This character lived with Tyrion, had an affair with Tywin and betrayed the younger of the two, who is she?
Gilly
Shae
Everyone loved Shae when we first met her as a prostitute on the battlefield. Tyrion fell in love with her (as Tyrion does, we soon find out), and it was just all downhill from there. When she betrayed him, we couldn't wait for her to die.
Arya Stark
Sansa Stark
Do you remember the character who had parts of his fingers chopped off by Stannis, saved Gendry and protected Jon Snow's body?
Margaery Tyrell
Oberyn Martell
Davos Seaworth
Davos was once a smuggler, but when he saved Dragonstone during a siege, he was knighted (after the tips of his fingers were cut off, of course). Davos is also known as the Onion Knight because he smuggled onions to the starving people of Dragonstone.
Ygritte
What is the name of the character who says he's no one, saved Arya and taught her how to fight?
Daario Naharis
Beric Dondarrion
Jaqen H'ghar
There is no better character in the "Game of Thrones" series to help Arya on her journey than Jaqen H'ghar. He is a faceless man, so we never really know what he looks like, but most people recognize him as the man with long hair that has a white streak in it.
Oberyn Martell
Advertisement
He is a great warrior, loves Missandei and kept his slave name, what is that name?
Daario Naharis
Tormund Giantsbane
Grey Worm
Grey Worm is one of the best soldiers on the "Game of Thrones" series. He is in high ranks in the dragon queen's army, and he knows how to please a woman, even if he doesn't have all of the required parts.
Tommen Baratheon
She was queen to three different kings, she was smart and she came from a house of roses. Do you remember her name?
Margaery Tyrell
Our first look at Margaery Tyrell is in Renly Baratheon's camp. While Renly had no claim to the Iron Throne, he simply got by on his looks and his connections with the Tyrell family. He died pretty quickly.
Cersei Lannister
Ygritte
Sansa Stark
Do you remember the character who helped Bran get north of the wall, protected her brother and screamed "hold the door" to Hodor?
Tyene Sand
Meera Reed
We know Meera Reed as a great hunter and protector of her brother. She helped Bran get to the Three-Eyed Raven and then back to Winterfell. In the show, she simply just disappeared after an awkward farewell to Bran.
Sansa Stark
Arya Stark

Which character didn't want to go home, loved a prince and died from poisoning?
Myrcella Baratheon
Myrcella Baratheon didn't make much of an appearance in the show until Season 5. In this season, we learned that she was in love with the Prince of Dorne, but that love didn't matter as she was soon killed by the Ellaria Sand.
Cersei Lannister
Meera Reed
Ilyn Payne
The patriarch of House Lannister, killed by his son and hand to many kings, who is he?
Tywin Lannister
It's easy to see that Tywin Lannister doesn't care much for Tyrion. He puts Tyrion on the front lines in the first battle. The result of this in the books is different from the show, but either way, Tyrion lives to see another day and kill his father.
Tyene Sand
Jaqen H'ghar
Euron Greyjoy
He ignored guest right, kidnapped a Tully and helped the Lannisters. Who is he?
Davos Seaworth
Rickon Stark
Walder Frey
In earlier seasons, Walder Frey was one of the least-liked characters on the TV show (and in the books). Not only did he invite people into his home for a wedding, he senselessly murdered them, all because he couldn't marry one of his daughters off.
Maester Aemon
Advertisement
This character was considered worse than Joffrey, loved dogs and got bored easily. What is his name?
Ramsay Bolton
Ramsay Bolton is often considered one of the most evil characters who has ever been on a television screen. He was senseless and didn't care who he hurt, as long as he wasn't bored. Luckily for him, his death wasn't boring at all.
Lord Varys
Beric Dondarrion
Stannis Baratheon
Which character only knew one word, was the biggest hero of his time and helped Bran?
Varys
Khal Drogo
Hodor
Hodor hodor hodor hodor hodor. Alright, we'll stop speaking his language. Hodor is easily one of the most tragic characters in all of "Game of Thrones." While he helped Bran get north of the wall, on their way back, we learned exactly how Hodor became Hodor, and there wasn't a dry eye in the room.
Ygritte
She claims the Iron Throne, lost her children and found a big bodyguard. Do you know who she is?
Cersei Lannister
After the deaths of all of her children, Cersei Lannister simply put on a crown and told everyone that she was queen. No one seemed to care one way or another, and everyone (except those in the north) just accepted it.
Melisandre
Brienne of Tarth
Arya Stark
Advertisement
Which character was going to be the queen, hated her life and married Tyrion Lannister?
Sansa Stark
Everyone can really agree that Sansa had a pretty rude awakening when her father lost his head. It took a lot, but she learned how to play the game of thrones after some time.
Arya Stark
Brienne of Tarth
Shae
He loves a younger woman, had greyscale and saved his queen, but do you know his name?
Jorah Mormont
We all know Jorah Mormont as the king of the friendzone, and that is where he died. Of course, when we first meet him, he's spying on Daenerys, so he can return to Westeros. However, after she lives through a fire, he goes ahead and falls in love with her.
Samwell Tarly
Gilly
Maester Aemon
He likes fermented goat's milk, Brienne and giants. Do you know who he is?
Tormund Giantsbane
We learned quite a bit about Tormund in Season 8, Episode 2. Besides the fact that he is desperately in love with Brienne of Tarth (which we already knew), he nursed on the teat of a giant when he was young ... that's how he got so strong, of course.
Mance Rayder
Bronn
Jaime Lannister

Do you know which character started as a sellsword, became a knight and wants a castle?
Bronn of the Blackwater
In the books, Bronn's character fades away after Tyrion is arrested, but fans of the show liked him so much that show writers decided to give him more of a role, so we see him helping Jaime, and his new mission is to kill Cersei's brothers.
Brienne of Tarth
Sandor Clegane
Gilly
Can you name the character who wants to save the world, helps Tyrion and doesn't have hair?
Sandor Clegan
Varys
He doesn't expect people to call him Lord Varys, but he was the Master of Whispers for the king until Joffrey died. At that point he ran away with Tyrion, as he was sure to be found out for saving the innocent man.
Arya Stark
Joffrey Baratheon
Which man was the dragon queen's lover, great with a sword and was mean to Jorah Mormont?
Daario Naharis
Daario Naharis won over the dragon queen's heart by giving her the heads of his friends (who wanted to kill her). He thought she was so beautiful, he refused to go to war with her. She repaid him by keeping him back in Myreen while she conquered the Seven Kingdoms and romped with her nephew.
Stannis Baratheon
Oberyn Martell
Davos Seaworth

Who was the sweet king who loved cats and Margaery?
Tommen Baratheon
Tommen Baratheon was the king just after Joffrey Baratheon. However, when his mother decided to kill his wife, Tommen sadly took his own life as he didn't realize that he was still the king and could have punished his mother for her crimes.
Myrcella Baratheon
Joffrey Baratheon
Rickon Stark
She was kissed by fire, a great shot with a bow and loved Jon Snow. Do you remember her name?
Gilly
Shae
Ygritte
We all loved Ygritte for helping Jon Snow keep his secret (that he was still loyal to the Night's Watch). While she was a wildling, we learned quickly that she was smart and funny and she had just what Jon Snow needed.
