"Game of Thrones" has come to an end after eight seasons. During its run, the HBO series developed a reputation for ruthlessly killing off characters. But in the end, close to three dozen named characters were left standing.

Some of these characters hadn't been seen in many seasons, or only in flashbacks. (We're looking at you, Howland Reed.) But since their deaths were never shown or discussed on screen, we're presuming them to be alive.

Keep reading for a look at all the named characters who technically survived all eight seasons of "Game of Thrones."
