These 10 characters are missing in Game of Thrones, although they are actually important in the book template

There are numerous differences between the series “Game of Thrones” and its book source by George R. R. Martin. However, the hardest hit are these 10 characters who were simply completely removed from the series.

What was the list based on? We selected the most important characters from “A Song of Ice and Fire” that do not appear in the series adaptation.

This includes characters who may appear briefly in the series as extras, but are not really introduced as notable figures.

In the ranking, we sorted the 10 most important of these forgotten characters by relevance.

Bonus: Strong Belwas

Before we start with the actual list, we need to award a bonus spot. “Strong Belwas” is not particularly important to the plot. His relevant moments were transferred to Daario Naharis in the series, which ultimately makes no big difference.

However, he is so cool that he is a favorite of many book readers. Therefore, we simply could not leave him unmentioned.

Belwas is a former arena fighter from the fighting pits of Meereen. He is a bald eunuch with massive muscles and an even more massive belly. Together with Ser Barristan Selmy, he was sent by Illyrio Mopatis to Daenerys to protect the Dragon Queen.

When he is not busy chopping off heads or eating poisoned locusts, he always has a funny quip on his lips. For some reason, he always speaks in the third person about himself. But somehow that makes sense for him. Belwas is just a really cool guy that you have to like.
