George R.R. Martin has a tendency to build characters up so they can be knocked down. In season one, Ned is clearly set up as the main character. He's noble, loyal and everything else a hero typically is. So what does Martin do after he's built up this character? CHOP HIS GODDAMN HEAD OFF OF COURSE !

Then you expect Robb to avenge his father, and just when you think nothing worse can come to the Starks, he kills Robb and Catelyn and ends the northern rebellion.

I think it's fairly certain that Dany will run into some serious shit soon. There are no main characters in Game of Thrones, and there are certainly no heroes.
