Oberyn Martell was a very important character for Pedro Pascal as it gave him every opportunity in Hollywood. The character himself was a masterpiece, a fan-favorite amongGame of Throneslovers, and it’s such a shame he only had a brief stint in the show. He was in there for only seven episodes during its Season 4 run, but that was enough to make the audience love and root for him.
The Mountain and the Viperwas one of the most exciting chapters in the show. Tyrion Lannister’s trial by combat commenced, and his champion was none other than Oberyn. He went against Ser Gregor Clegane, but just when we thought the Red Viper finally secured his victory, things went awry.
How Pedro Pascal learned about Oberyn Martell’s tragic death
As fans, we’re already aware of how Oberyn Martell met his demise, and it’s not very pretty, so how didPedro Pascalreact when he learned his character’s fate? While speaking withHBOviaMaking Game of Thrones, the actor revealed he was told right off the bat. He knew what he signed up for as it was written in the description of his character when he went for the audition. However, he had no idea how it would happen.
I didn’t know how he died, until I met [series creators] David Benioff and Dan Weiss in Belfast. They mentioned the crushing of my head in three steps: first the teeth, then the eyes, and finally the entire melon head.
The death of Oberyn Martell was one of the most shocking tragedies inGame of Thrones. Viewers were treated to a great fight scene between him and The Mountain. In fact, he was already winning the first round as his opponent was poisoned the moment his spear hit him. For Pascal, the consolation is that he could compete for the top spot of the most gruesome deaths in the series.

Oberyn perished after The Mountain tripped him, subsequently confessing his crimes before gouging the poor fighter’s eyes and eventually crushing his skull. The actor shared that the props designers made a cast of his head with an expression of violent agony, which we could say was truly incredible as they managed to capture the look of pain in the most realistic way possible.

Pascal echoed the same sentiment about his character’s exit in his interview withEsquire. He said he feels “like a boss”, and if he’s actually in the top three of the most memorable deaths in the show, then he doesn’t need to do anything anymore. “I did it,” the actor proudly remarked.
