It seems a little unfair to blame the literal executioner for Ned Stark’s murder. How did these two lovable, good-hearted rogues get on the list? They were the ones who sold Gendry to Melisandre, a fate that at the time looked like it meant the lad’s certain death. This one’s a little bit tricky, because the question of whether the Mountain - who made it on the list for war crimes committed at Harrenhall in season two - is truly “alive” anymore is a complicated philosophical discussion: He’s a mindless, undead foot soldier! Still, if there’s even the slightest possibility he can be killed, then dangnabbit, Arya will try to kill him.ĭoes it still count if it’s not her real name? Probably! Arya added Melisandre to the list after she took Gendry from the Brotherhood Without Banners in season three, and since Arya doesn’t know her friend was soon released to set Westeros’ long-distance rowing record, the older woman remains on the list. Unfortunately for both of them, Arya’s got some competition: Now that Cersei has ascended to the Iron Throne, there are a whole bunch of characters with the means, motive, and opportunity to end her reign. She’s been on it since the beginning, for arranging Ned Stark’s downfall at the end of season one. In the wake of this mass murder, let’s check in with the unlucky souls from the list who are still standing - for now.Īfter all these years, Cersei is one of the last OG occupants of Arya’s list. As she told the dying knights, winter had finally come for the house of Frey.Īrya didn’t have room to include every single Frey on her kill list, that litany of names the youngest Stark daughter has repeated as a nightly prayer ever since season two, but you have to image the entire backstabbing house would be on it if she did.


After murdering Red Wedding orchestrator Walder Frey in last season’s finale, Arya used the face-swapping magic she’d picked up at the House of Black and White to take his place at a celebratory Frey family banquet - at which point she proceeded to poison seemingly every male member of that noble house. On Sunday night’s Game of Thrones premiere, Arya Stark served up her coldest dish yet. Spoilers ahead for the season-seven premiere of Game of Thrones.
