Melisandre. She's got some mojo; there's no denying those killer shadows. She sees some things in her fires, but she doesn't always know what she's seeing. She gamed Stannis, and perhaps herself. She knew his sword wasn't Lightbringer. The leeches? Sorry, wasn't her. The whole king's blood thing is goofy, but that's her big play. She asks the lord of light for a vision of Azor Ahai, sees Jon and doesn't understand. She's really dangerous because she has some power and she's wrong way too much. Stannis allowed her into his life because he couldn't make good on his birth right on his own.
