Her powerful magic and strategic thinking make Melisandre, played by Carice van Houten, one of the sharpest characters in Game of Thrones. She is a priestess of the Lord of Light and uses her mystical abilities to influence events and people. For instance, Melisandre uses her magic to perform powerful rituals, such as bringing Jon Snow back to life and using shadow magic to eliminate Stannis Baratheon's rivals. Her visions and prophecies guide her decisions, helping her to advise powerful leaders and shape the course of events in Westeros.
