Who died in the Last War of Game of Thrones? After winning the Battle of Winterfell thanks to Arya Stark killing the Night King, Daenerys Targaryen has turned her attention to King's Landing and ripping Cersei Lannister "root and stem" from the Iron Throne. Unfortunately, the Dragon Queen once again underestimated Cersei and paid dearly for it.
In last week's episode "The Last of the Starks", Jon Snow marched his exhausted army south to the capital, Daenerys sailed her forces back to Dragonstone - and right into an ambush by Euron Greyjoy's Iron Fleet. The pirate king killed Rhaegal, costing Dany her second dragon, and the Iron Fleet went on to sink the Targaryen ships as well as capture Missandei. Making matters worse, Jon confessed his true identity as Aegon Targaryen to Arya and Sansa Stark and the Lady of Winterfell wasted little time telling Tyrion Lannister the truth. Tyrion then told Varys, who is now convinced Jon Snow is a better option to sit upon the Iron Throne than Daenerys, whom he fears will be a Mad Queen. "The Last of the Starks" ended with a face-off between Cersei and Daenerys' reduced forces at King's Landing's gate; despite Tyrion's last-ditch pleas to his sister, Cersei had Missandei beheaded.
And now, the Last War for the Iron Throne of Westeros has ended. Defending Cersei's claim to the Iron Throne is her mercenary army, the Golden Company, and the Lannister Army armed with scorpions to slay Daenerys' last dragon, Drogon. Jon Snow brought what was left of the Dothraki and the Northern Army to join Unsullied in the fight. Thanks to the brutal carnage unleashed by Daenerys and Drogon's dragonfire that massacred thousands of people in the Red Keep, here are the major characters who died in the Last War:
