Warning: Contains spoilers for Game of Thrones.

There are plenty of survivors in the Game of Thrones world.

Daenerys. Tyrion. Sansa. Jon Snow. They're all pretty indestructible, but they're not the most indestructible character. Not by a long way.

Just check out this badass -- he's fought as a soldier in a whole bunch of different battles, and he's still going strong:

Those photos were shared by Reddit user Lord_Burgess on Monday night, following episode 3 of Season 7.

The thing is, it works too. Just about.

Soon, Reddit was busy getting to the bottom of who the guy actually is.

It didn't take long before someone shared the proof; it turns out the mystery soldier is a man named Andrew who lives in Belfast, Northern Ireland. He's also a super fan, a recurring extra, and the lucky dude that gets to shout "THE KING IN THE NORTH!" at Jon Snow.

CARD ID: 245476, CARD TYPE: Imgur

Just look at that glorious beard. It's no wonder Benioff and Weiss can't resist getting him back each season.

Godspeed, Andrew.
