6) Tommen Baratheon
King Tommen has been on the chopping block for some time now, and his murder feels inevitable at this point. We have been explicitly told it’s coming by Maggy the Frog, who prophesied that Cersei would see all three of her children die.
Myrcella was recently poisoned by the Martells, and Cersei very conveniently brought the fortune teller back up in the season 6 premiere as if to remind the audience. Isn’t this exactly the scene one would write if a third death was on its way?
Tommen has also been sitting on the Iron Throne for two full seasons now. This show is literally named after the concept of unseating the current ruler and seizing power for oneself, and considering the sheer number of characters who are aiming to take over King’s Landing, let’s just say Tommen should probably play with Ser Pounce as much as possible while he still can.
