9. Khal Drogo

If we had to describe a truly hardcore, scary, and powerful character in two words, those words would be Khal Drogo.

There was something about Drogo that made us like him, even though he didn’t really give us a reason from the beginning.

Later on, we saw him stand up for Daenerys, beat the life out of anyone – even if that someone was armed and Drogo was not – and command an army of wild Dothrakis.
