1. Ned Stark

Game of Thrones marked the moment it became a master of the brutal when Ned Stark, the honorable Warden of the North, was beheaded after attempting to unmask the truth regarding Joffrey's parentage. So, while denouncing treason to save his daughters, he was surprisingly beheaded by Joffrey on the grounds that he deserved mercy. It was heartbreaking to see Arya being compelled to observe her father's execution, which began her path to darkness. Many fans of the show never envisioned the central character facing such an untimely and brutal death, justifying the tagline that no one is safe in Westeros-not even the lead characters.
