Who will be the final POV character?

[Son of a Harpy]

I'm on the Bran bandwagon.

Other than Bran, I like Benjen, finally making his much anticipated return appearance.

[Blackfyre the Bold]

someone on the board suggested that bran in tree form watching the future or something might be the last pov which i thought was awesome. cant remember who it was tho it was a month or two ago.

That would be cool. He could answer all the questions we have been asking.

I wouldn't mind if there was an epilogue at the end of book 7 from the perspective of a character who could carry on the story in a spinoff like the Dunk and Egg series. Who could that be? Maybe one of Roberts bastards, preferably Edric.

[TalalOfDorne]

I think its either Bran or someone else who never had a POV

[therealbando]

Probably Bran

[Nictarion]

Bran had the first POV, he will also have the last.

I agree.

[JonCon's Red Beard]

Hodor.

[Lion of Judah]

A reflective POV from Ned would be cool.

[Sour Billy Tipton]

HOT PIE

Get YOUR Hot Pies HERE!

Oh sorry, yea I think Bran too.

[Drezelle]

I want to see a LF and Varys POV near the end.

[HornOfJoramun]

Bran is what I believe to be most likely. Possibly a neutral 3rd person scenario as some have suggested. Maybe even a full flashback POV.

GRRM is an incredibly intriguing writer. However he does it, I think it will be very fulfilling, but also open it up to some interpretation.

[the bastard of starfall]

RICKON

[Trident full of Dogs]

Tyrion.

[King Tyrion VIII]

Bran. He's the first POV (other than Will), I can see him being the last.

Or Sansa. Or Sam. Those would be my next two options, but most likely Bran.

If I had to rank the most likely, I'd say

1. Bran

2. Sansa

3. Sam

4. Rickon (reflecting as an old man. Also finally gives him a PoV)

There we go!

Bran seeing into the future or

Sam 20 years after series end reflecting on those 20 years or

Rickon at 70 reflecting on the last 60+ years

Any of the 3 would be epicly epic with its epicness.

Bran - A full circle with him starting and ending the series. And Bran, via weirwood vision, can update us on other characters besides himself making him the ideal character to wrap up loose ends.

[King Tyrion VIII]

I'm on the Bran bandwagon.

Other than Bran, I like Benjen, finally making his much anticipated return appearance.

I want Benjen as our first Land of Always Winter POV. But and epilogue of him reflecting on his trip beyond the Wall would be awesome too.

Hmmmm *crackpot ridiculous*:

Ned wakes up as King Robert and Co. arrive at Winterfell. Everything was just his dream.

Only GRRM would troll on that level :P

[Ponys123]

Epilogue people always die. Don't know about ADOS, but I think that the epilogue of TWOW might be Stannis.

[KingGendry]

I think going with Bran would bring the story full circle, although my imagination is saying it will either be him warging Summer, or him dying, job done.

[RhaenysBee]

Hot Pie.

[Ingelheim]

Bran. I'd like to see Jaime as the least POV, but that would mean he is alive at the end. And I doubt it.

A reflective POV from Ned would be cool.

It would be extremly cool.

[The Mountain That Flies]

I want to see a LF and Varys POV near the end.

Varys is more likely, since thanks to Sansa we've already got a pretty good feeling for LF's thoughts and motivations. Even with everything Tyrion learns about him, though, Varys is still almost a complete mystery to the readers. It may be he's one of the few characters to make it out of the series alive, and so he could be the final epilogue (though I still think it will be Bran in tree form).
