15. Maester Aemon

Aemon was a Targaryen who chose duty over power, yet most viewers never realized how important he was. He guided Jon Snow and taught him how to lead without losing his humanity. He was one of the few people who understood the real dangers beyond the Wall. His advice shaped Jon’s decisions, and his death left the Night’s Watch vulnerable. He could have claimed the throne but chose to serve instead. His wisdom shaped events in Westeros, but few remember his impact.
