If we had to define Game of Thrones in three main elements that represent the flagship HBO series, we could choose these impressive dragons, which grow stronger and stronger over the seasons, in numerous settings of the four corners of the world – from Iceland. In Croatia, through Ireland and even on the island of Malta – and, of course, an impressive number of characters from different families of this heroic fantasy world.
And among this gallery, which has many branches, certain roles are clearly more prominent. This is the case of Jon Snow, played by Kit Harington, the son of Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen, not Eddard Stark as Jon always believed. A character who will have the privilege of experiencing assassination and resurrection after being named Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch.

Another main character of the series, Daenerys Targaryen, played by Emilia Clarke. She is the daughter of Queen Raella and King Aerys, who was dethroned by Robert Baratheon after being accused of insanity. A usurpation that caused Daenerys and her older brother Prince Viserys to flee to the free cities of the continent of Essos.
The last representative of House Targaryen, he will continue to rise in importance and power over the course of the episodes, aided by his three dragons, Drogon, Regal and Viserion.
Finally, we can also bring in Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage, to whom we recently dedicated a quiz), the third child of Lord Tywin Lannister, brother of Cersei and Jaime. Born a dwarf and deformed, his birth also caused the death of his mother. That is why he is the most beloved of the family, always rejected by his relatives.
But Game of Thrones is also, as we mentioned, all these countless secondary characters that appeared over the course of seventy-three episodes. Do you still remember their names well?
