- 5. Davos and Melisandre
The dead Stannis’ (Stephen Dillane) personal angel and devil on his shoulders, played by Liam Cunningham and Carice van Houten respectively, are left rudderless without their king. What are their roles in the show without him?
Most immediately, since both are at Castle Black, how will both deal with Jon’s murder? The trailer indicates Davos will use Longclaw to either protect or retrieve Jon’s body, but for what purpose? Will Melisandre play a role resurrecting Jon with her Red God’s magic, as fellow priest Thoros of Myr (Paul Kaye) did with outlaw Beric Dondarrion (Richard Dormer) in Season 3? Will Davos pick up the task of his book counterpart to find Rickon Stark (more on the youngest Stark ahead)?
