In the Game of Thrones world there aren’t many characters that are consistently likable, and genuine, without suffering a quick and terrible fate. Davos Seaworth, as of now, is one of those characters, though he’s no stranger to heartache and loss. Liam Cunningham’s gruff but lovable portrayal of Davos lends the show an element of humanity that’s often missing in the conniving machinations of the realm’s would-be kings, and supernatural high-stakes threats. It’s hard not to respect Davos, the smuggler turned kingly advisor serves as the shows de facto moral compass. He’s a humble man with a code who understands that the smart course of action is rarely the right the to do, and struggles to promote those beliefs and an internal sense of justice amid so many characters who are willing to lose themselves in the face of their own ambition. Whether he’s pushing those he believes in to believe in themselves, or delivering genuine, heartfelt pleas when all other options fail, Davos has time again proven that sacrifice in order to do what’s right for the good of the many is as kingly a goal as any claim to the throne.
