Warning: "Game of Thrones" spoilers ahead.
• HBO's "Game of Thrones" wrapped up Sunday night with an intense finale.
• The show's numerous characters all attempted to out-maneuver one another, as usual.
• Several standout leaders made important choices as the army of the dead broke through the Wall.
Winter has truly come to Westeros, with snowflakes falling as far south as King's Landing.
And, with the Wall destroyed and the army of the dead on the march, the continent could surely use some good leadership at the moment.
A few weeks ago, we ranked the "Game of Thrones" characters based on their leadership abilities. So here's an update, based on all that happened in season seven.
A few notes: This list counts only characters who are still alive on the show, not in the books. So keep in mind that a bunch of people have died recently.
Also, this list takes into consideration only people who could be counted as "leaders." Some characters who aren't currently in leadership roles are not included, like Arya Stark, Jaime Lannister, Jorah Mormont, or Sandor Clegane. The same goes for anyone who is basically out of commission at this point.
Lastly, this ranking looks into characters' track records but heavily favors things that happened this season. This list examines leadership ability, not overall power, importance, or title.
Here are the leaders of "Game of Thrones" that survived season seven, ranked from worst to best:
