In honor of the eighth and final season of Game of Thrones, IGN is taking a look back at some of the iconic characters who've fallen along the way, and the lasting impact they had on the story. These heroes and villains may not have made it to the end of the road, but their lives weren't in vain - they stand as a fitting reminder that when you play the game of thrones, you win, or you die.
From commander of the City Watch to disgraced member of the Night's Watch, Janos Slynt wasn't known for his honor. In fact, he was a character who became a thorn in enough powerful sides over the course of his journey that he frequently found himself booted from the corridors of power he backstabbed and betrayed his way into. Let's just say that if Arya Stark had ever encountered Slynt, he certainly would have ended up on her list.
Janos Slynt's journey certainly wasn't admirable over the course of the five seasons he lived on Game of Thrones until his watch, fortunately, was ended by Jon Snow - a fitting comeuppance for the man who facilitated Ned Stark's imprisonment and execution. Below, Dominic Carter traces Slynt's fall from grace in Part 5 of our retrospective series, "When I Died on Game of Thrones."
Did you get to see your fake head?
Yeah. They didn't use the fake head in the end - it's just green screen. Basically, what they did is they made a fake body instead, which squirted blood out of the neck section. They replaced that with my body, and then laid the green screen over the top.
Did they have to take molds of your body or was that a guess on their part?
We did a head cast. It's a very strange thing. Basically, you go into a room and they put this solution all round your face, and then they put another solution on top of that, and then bandages to make a cast of your head. But you lose your senses one by one. Your ears get covered up, then your eyes, and then all you've basically got is two straws sticking out of your nose. It's quite strange. It's a bit like being buried alive for half an hour, and then afterwards, I said to the special effects guys, "Does anyone ever panic?" because it's quite claustrophobic. And they said, "Oh, yeah, all the time." I was like, "Well, you could have told me," and they were like, "Well, we don't tell people because they'll pre-panic." And then they didn't even use it!
Who do you think will end up on the Iron Throne?
It's gotta be Samwell Tarly. I just think he's one of those characters that, he's so wise and he's found himself in so many difficult situations that he's gotten himself out of and found some bravery in there, as well. Why not?
