Have you ever wondered who is the most mentioned character in A Song of Ice and Fire. Tyrion Lannister? Daenerys Targaryen? Bran Stark? Or, Jamie Lannister? Or, perhaps, can it be Lyanna Stark? Fear not, for the answers to your questions are given below!

Apparently, Jon Snow does know something! Because how can you explain him being the most mentioned character, a freaking 3009 times. You know, some people actually write stories of 3009 words.

Mentions Character 3009 Jon Snow 2932 Tyrion Lannister 1767 Arya Stark 1701 Jaime Lannister 1594 Daenerys Targaryen 1524 Sansa Stark 1439 Bran Stark 1367 Eddard Stark 1229 Catelyn Stark 1180 Cersei Lannister 1162 Robb Stark 1140 Samwell Tarly 1125 Stannis Baratheon 1042 Joffrey Baratheon 999 Theon Greyjoy 905 Robert Baratheon 725 Brienne of Tarth 681 Tywin Lannister 676 Davos Seaworth 676 Petyr Baelish 579 Sandor Clegane 560 Barristan Selmy 534 Renly Baratheon 523 Jorah Mormont 493 Jeor Mormont 434 Varys 411 Tommen Baratheon 385 Mance Rayder 369 Gregor Clegane 364 Asha Greyjoy 353 Roose Bolton 349 Lysa Arryn 333 Bronn 329 Hodor 327 Ramsay Bolton 320 Loras Tyrell 310 Maester Aemon 308 Margaery Tyrell 300 Edmure Tully 291 Khal Drogo 290 Maester Pycelle 281 Melisandre of Asshai 276 Quentyn Martell 271 Gendry 271 Victarion Greyjoy 267 Hizdahr zo Loraq 264 Maester Luwin 253 Euron Greyjoy 246 Meera Reed 240 Kevan Lannister

Kevan Lannister, the last person to die in the book canon, is the 50th most mentioned character. No sight of Lyanna Stark anywhere!

230 Rodrik Cassel 227 Gilly 226 Walder Frey 222 Aerys Targaryen II 221 Jon Connington 220 Janos Slynt 216 Beric Dondarrion 216 Rhaegar Targaryen 215 Brynden Tully 214 Podrick Payne 207 Jojen Reed 207 Mace Tyrell 206 Jon Arryn 204 Grenn 204 Illyrio Mopatis 202 Tormund Giantsbane 199 Balon Greyjoy 198 Hot Pie 198 Myrcella Baratheon 193 Viserys Targaryen 191 Robert Arryn 190 Aeron Greyjoy 188 Qhorin Halfhand 186 Oberyn Martell 183 Rickon Stark 182 Ygritte 179 Daario Naharis 171 Wyman Manderly 170 Yoren 169 Craster 168 Alliser Thorne 166 Shae 163 Qyburn 162 Bowen Marsh 161 Ilyn Payne 160 Lancel Lannister 154 Eddison Tollett 151 Arianne Martell 151 Pyp 150 Osmund Kettleblack 145 Skahaz mo Kandaq 142 Meryn Trant 140 Belwas 138 Boros Blount 138 Randyll Tarly 137 Haldon Halfmaester 134 Old Nan 133 Penny 131 Irri 128 Doran Martell

And, that guys, with Doran Martell ends the 100 most mentioned characters. Oh! Lyanna, where are you? Penny is mentioned more times than you, for God’s sake, PENNY!

127 Lem Lemoncloak 124 Jeyne Poole 121 Dontos Hollard 120 Cleos Frey 116 Benjen Stark 116 Jhiqui 115 Gerris Drinkwater 114 Ben Plumm 114 Salladhor Saan 112 Val 111 Taena Merryweather 111 Thoros of Myr 111 Vargo Hoat 108 Balon Swann 108 Hoster Tully 107 Reznak mo Reznak 107 Xaro Xhoan Daxos 106 Greatjon Umber 106 Jory Cassel 105 Donal Noye 104 Tom of Sevenstreams 103 Aegon Targaryen I 103 Arys Oakheart 103 Osha 100 Chett 99 Hyle Hunt 99 Missandei 99 Rattleshirt 96 Axell Florent 96 Gyles Rosby 95 Dick Crabb 93 Maester Cressen 92 Areo Hotah 91 Addam Marbrand 91 Little Walder Frey 89 Septa Mordane 89 Osney Kettleblack 89 Syrio Forel 87 Selyse Florent 86 Rolly Duckfield 85 Jhogo 85 Shagga son of Dolf 84 Dareon 84 Varamyr Sixskins 82 Lommy Greenhands 82 Nestor Royce 81 Rickard Karstark 79 Young Griff (Aegon Targaryen) 78 Amory Lorch 78 Satin

Remember, Satin? A recruit of The Night’s Watch. Yes, I too didn’t expect him this high. He’s the 150th most mentioned character! Yep!

77 Cotter Pyke 77 Mya Stone 76 Paxter Redwyne 74 Aggo 74 Harwin 74 High Septon no. 3 74 Jaqen H’ghar 74 Merrett Frey 74 Mirri Maz Duur 73 Ryman Frey 71 Anguy 71 Clydas 71 Marillion 71 Pate (Oldtown) 71 Rorge 70 Elia Martell 70 Jacelyn Bywater 69 Brandon Stark 69 Yezzan zo Qaggaz 68 Maester Pylos 67 Septon Meribald 67 Weese 66 Justin Massey 66 Big Walder Frey 64 Baelor Targaryen 64 Devan Seaworth 64 Harys Swyft 63 Mandon Moore 62 Jeyne Westerling 62 Othell Yarwyck 61 Galazza Galare 61 Grey Worm 61 Will 59 Lothor Brune 59 Tytos Blackwood 58 Jonos Bracken 58 Orton Merryweather 58 Small Paul 58 Robett Glover 58 Tanda Stokeworth 56 Sarella Sand 55 Biter 55 Obara Sand 55 Steelshanks Walton 54 Denys Mallister 54 Dywen 54 Galbart Glover 54 Lollys Stokeworth 54 Thoren Smallwood 53 Kraznys mo Nakloz

Remember, Kraznys mo Nakloz, a.k.a., the maker of Unsullied and the hater of testicles. He’s mentioned 53 times in a matter of a few chapters, whereas Lyanna Stark is far behind him. “Promise me, Ned… I will be mentioned more times in The Winds of Winter.”

53 Polliver 53 Rakharo 53 Tristifer Botley 52 Aurane Waters 52 Emmon Frey 52 Jarl 52 Olenna Redwyne 52 Rodrik Harlaw 52 Shireen Baratheon 51 Cortnay Penrose 51 Edwyn Frey 50 Archibald Yronwood 50 Mathis Rowan 50 Vardis Egen 50 Yohn Royce 49 Barbrey Ryswell 49 Tattered Prince 49 Tickler 48 Gerold Dayne 48 Harry Strickland 48 Three-Finger Hobb 48 Tyene Sand 47 Septa Lemore 47 Lyn Corbray 47 Roslin Frey 47 Fat Tom 47 Waymar Royce 46 Arthur Dayne 46 Doreah 46 Iron Emmett 46 High Septon no. 2 46 Wendel Manderly 45 Dalla 45 Godry Farring 45 Lothar Frey 45 Mord 45 Nymeria Sand 45 Toad 44 Cleon the Great 44 Dagmer Cleftjaw 44 Garlan Tyrell 44 Shagwell 44 Willas Tyrell 43 Halder 43 Jason Mallister 43 Lyanna Stark 43 Moqorro 43 Osfryd Kettleblack 43 Patchface 43 Rafford

Lyanna Stark is less times mentioned than Hot Pie. What do you have to say to that, R+L=J Theory fans. And, for clearance, Coldhands is only mentioned 31 times.

FUN FACT: If you’re not a warg and not a Stark, then you’re a secret Targ!
