8. Melisandre If there's one thing more disturbing than a religious zealot, it's a religious zealot, with supernatural powers, who burns people alive. That would be Melisandre, a Red Priestess of the Lord of Light, a fringe religion that has found devotees in House Baratheon, and who has an absolute conviction in her faith, to along with her abilities of prophecy. You get the sense there's a lot more to her than has been seen to date, but anyone capable of giving birth to shadows that kill on command, is clearly someone to be treated with respect.
