Warning: Spoilers ahead for "Game of Thrones."
The total character death count in "Game of Thrones" is shockingly high, and that number will only get bigger as we head into the show's sixth season. Certain characters, like the season six hot topic Jon Snow, have many fans who firmly believe they'll be alive and well. Actress Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark) actually spilled the beans, and confirmed she survives the season. But there are several men and women of Westeros that we're pretty sure will get the axe soon.
Scroll down to read more about their pending doom.
Balon Greyjoy's days are definitely numbered.
Back in season two, Melisandre had Stannis burn leeches filled with Gendry's blood and say the names of every "false king" he wanted dead: Joffrey, Robb, and Balon. Within the next two seasons, both Joffrey Baratheon and Robb Stark died, proving Melisandre's power to Stannis. But somehow Balon Greyjoy was forgotten over the years, but now he's back in season six. At least for a little while.
We're pretty certain Balon's death is coming this season. He wasn't featured in the new trailer, but we did get a glimpse of his brother Euron. Based on events in the books, Euron's should assassinate Balon and try to take the Iron Islands for himself.
Jorah Mormont is a walking greyscale bomb.
Jorah the Explorer (as some fans call him) contracted the deadly disease of greyscale in season five. Based on our knowledge of the ailment, his survival would be basically impossible. Plus it feels like Jorah's character arc is coming to a close. He served Daenerys well as her advisor and friend, but that bond may have been broken beyond repair when she learned of his earlier betrayal.
Knowing Jorah, he'll make some grand gesture or heroic act in the final days or moments of his life. We just hope he doesn't spread greyscale around too much before he dies.
Aliser Thorne chose the wrong guy to kill.
By leading the assassination plan against Jon Snow, Alliser Thorne put a big target on his own back. Our belief that Jon comes back to life aside, Alliser is in danger. Jon had plenty of enemies among the Night's Watch, but he also had some very loyal friends. Tormund is an angry wildling with a fierce belief in Jon, and he might come after Alliser for killing the Lord Commander.
Plus, based on the trailer, it looks like Alliser is going up against Davos and a crew of Jon supporters. We're hoping his jowly-faced backstabbing days are numbered.
