There are dozens upon dozens of characters who grace the screen in HBO's pop culture smash hit "Game of Thrones." (https://www.looper.com/153596/game-thrones-untold-truth/) The series, created by David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, is based on the fantasy novel series "A Song of Ice and Fire" by George R.R. Martin. The first season premiered on the cable network in 2011 and ended with its eighth season in 2019. Not only did the show take over the cultural zeitgeist for most of the 2010s, but it also launched the careers of several now-A-list stars like Kit Harington, Emilia Clarke, and Sophie Turner.
Like any good fantasy franchise, each character introduced into the world of Westeros and its surrounding continents is complex and morally ambiguous. Some begin the series as characters we root for until they take tragic turns into darkness and villainy. Others find the audiences against them only to slowly win them over as they reveal deeper layers to themselves.
Despite the show's divisive final season (https://www.looper.com/153393/what-went-wrong-with-game-of-thrones/), the show has remained a hot topic of pop culture, especially with the premiere of HBO's prequel series "House of the Dragon" (https://www.looper.com/974390/small-details-you-missed-in-house-of-the-dragon-season-1/) in 2022. As fans struggle to decipher who to trust and who to root for in the Targaryen civil war, it'd be worthwhile to remember the spectrum of evil to good in its predecessor.
