If 'Game of Thrones' Season 6 Is All About Rebirth, Who'll Be 'Reborn' Next?

Rust Cohle , Matthew McConaughey’sTrue Detectivecharacter , memorably announce that sentence was " a matted band . " The latest season ofGame of Thronesis out to prove the possibility .

The demise of Lord Commander Jon Snow was followed bythe reanimation of Lord Commander Jon Snow . After persecution by Cersei , a forcedRoad to - style flick oversea with Varys , and a chance find with the Mother of Dragons in Meereen , perennialThronesMVP Tyrion Lannister is back doing what he have it away : talk terms with snark . Arya also had a venial upswing this season when she regained her sight . And in " Book of the Stranger , " Daenerys Targaryen hit rock bottom only to rise like a phoenix , with actual flames behind her as if she were aHeavy Metalmagazine covering fire star .

The recurring resiliency is n’t a happenstance . " Rebirth is clearly a stem this season , " saysThronesco - creator David Benioff inthe " Book of Stranger " post - mortem . Fellow showrunner D.B. Weiss notes that Daenerys ' scorching triumph was a witting echo of the consequence of the first - time of year finale , when the queen mole rat emerged unscathed from Khal Drogo ’s funeral pyre , and say , " The number of stepping out of that burning temple jolly much makes her the female monarch of the Dothraki in one fell slide . " add together Benioff : " It ’s like a Supreme Being being converted . "

HBO

The writer - producers take the concept of metempsychosis as both literal and figurative , and apply it both to characters falling and rising as they navigate the chaos of Westeros as well as those who fail . MoreThroners are likely to be lunge out of tragedy ’s womb this time of year . But who ? Well , not me , because I just type the words " hurl out of disaster ’s uterus " and there ’s no coming back from that . But here are some characters who could rise again , outrank from most to least likely :

Margaery Tyrell

Natalie Dormer ’s cunning world-beater spent a ball of Season 5 and 6 lock in the keep of King ’s landing place by order of the High Sparrow . He want Margaery to regret for her sins . She want to go back to her fellowship . " Seeking out your family means search out sin , " the High Sparrow insistedin the last episode . But if Cersei is successful at using the Tyrell army to arise up against the Faith Militant , Margaery could wipe away the clay and reclaim her glory . But someone has to dispose of the High Sparrow – could it be her ? Seeing her blood brother halting on a prison house cubicle flooring pay even more incentive to do the human action herself .

Theon Greyjoy

Like Margaery , Theon ’s had it rasping the last two time of year . After Ramsay capture , imprisoned , and spay him , he become a shade of his former self , the lowly handmaid known as " Reek . " Now , Theon is back home at the Iron Islands , just in time for a kingsmoot , the Ironborn answer to the Papal conclave . If Theon is " converted " this season , it probably wo n’t be as a king – but dominate the Iron Islands ' armada and shape an alliance with Queen Daenerys on the other hand …

Sandor “The Hound” Clegane

hold off – did n’t the Hound phlebotomize out after his duel with Brienne of Tarth ? Or did he limp off to a lifespan of quotidian , manual labor ? StudiousGame of Thronesfans think the latter and expect Sandor to re - enter the show by way of Cersei ’s trial by combat . With a zombified Mountain alert and well , the " Cleganebowl " theorystands on strong priming . Whether or not the Hound could honest his blood brother and make his restitution worth the try is an even greater unsung .

Davos Seaworth

The Onion Knight is easy emerge from an vivid depression . A prompt test - through of his miserable sprightliness : Davos start as a moon curser , became Stannis ' right - hand man ( minus four finger tips , which the Lord took for his crimes ) , watched his Word conk in Blackwater Bay , was imprisoned for pluck a knife on Melisandre , and discovered that Stannis had burned princess Shireen ( a young woman who effectively pretend as Davos ' foster girl ) at the stake .

When Jon Snow came back to aliveness , Davos was at a breaking point . But Jon ’s quest towards Winterfell , and possibly the Iron Throne , should set Davos up for some action that could tranquillize his interior chaos and give him raw design . Or perhaps Melisandre will bring back Shireen and we ’ll get two for the cost of one !

Melisandre

With a fresh Red Woman being infix on the show this season , and the writers revealing Melisandre ’s true age and form for the first fourth dimension in the Season 6 premiere , tuned - in fans would hope for some priestess wages this time of year . For Melisandre , " conversion " could have in mind destruction – who knows why the Lord of Light wind up imbuing her with his conjuring trick , or if her mortal presence is even a true form .

AGame of Thronesdeath is always grisly and momentary , a morose reminder that life can be kidnap out in an instant . If Melisandre ’s time is up , a transcendent decease , one that releases her into the Light , could fit the time of year ’s theme . Or peradventure it ’s as unproblematic as the reneweal of her religion in the wake of Jon Snow ’s resurrection .

The Three-Eyed Raven

The blank space - clip - bending wise man has dwell in a weirwood tree for 1,000 years . With Bran quick to break out on his own and ( possibly ) take a peep inside the Tower of Joy without his transdimensional guide , Thronessets up a fortune for the Three - Eyed Raven to snap his twig John Milton Cage Jr. and rove the champaign once again as his genuine ego . Then again , somethingis going to go awfully wrong when Bran uses his top executive of greensight without permission – ca n’t you feel it in your os ? We ’ll soon see whether that ’s good or bad for the man currently doing business as the Three - Eyed Raven .

Ned Stark

We ’ve date young versions of Eddard appear in Bran ’s sight twice this time of year , but could the full - feather Stark patriarch – the one played by Sean Bean – make a return to the series ? The more his gifted son toys with his account - pull wires greensight ability , the more we grease one’s palms into the hypothesis of at least seeing Bean proceeds , in one time stop or another , to the series . time of year 6 might be in too close a proximity to the Jon Snow tress for any literal , butterfly - burden " rebirth , " to happen , but even Bean has hint about his eventual return . " I ’ve definitely get some bare job that needs to be resolved there , " Bean tell in a 2014 consultation . " I ’m obviously not Jon Snow ’s dad . And you ask that to be disclose at some full point , do n’t you ? "
