Game of Thrones fan theories tend to coalesce around a few key questions, and one of the biggest is "Who is Azor Ahai?"įor the uninitiated, Azor Ahai was a legendary hero who once saved the world from darkness. The one thing Game of Thrones loves more than shocking us is emotionally devastating us, and of all the potentially Cersei-killing valonqars on the show, Jaime would provide the most dramatic impact. Lord know he's got plenty of reasons to want Cersei dead – and Lord knows Game of Thrones likes to zig when we think it's about to zag. (Whew, these Game of Thrones family trees are complicated.) That makes him the younger half-brother of Rhaenys and Aegon, Rhaegar's legitimate heirs with Elia Martell. We learned last season that he's the son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark. Anyone who's someone's little brother is technically fair game. However, Maggy never specifies that it'll be Cersei's own valonqar – just that it'll be a valonqar. Valonqar is a Valyrian word meaning "little brother," so the most obvious interpretation of that prophecy is that either Jaime or Tyrion will be responsible for Cersei's death.


In Book 3, the fortuneteller tells Cersei that "the valonqar shall wrap his hands about your pale white throat and choke the life from you."

On that front, we've got a little clue from Maggy the Frog. Jon's face is all like, "Kill Cersei Lannister? Heck, I don't even want to be outside right now." Credit: HBOīasically everyone, up to and including our Magic 8 Ball, seems pretty sure that Cersei Lannister is gonna bite it.
