The identity of the Prince That Was Promised has turned into one of the biggest mysteries in

But while many people are looking at Jaime Lannister or Jon Snow as the likely candidates, could it be a less major character? Someone who\'s flown under everybody\'s radars?

A mysterious figure from the book series who is reborn from the mythic hero Azor Ahai, the Prince That Was Promised is destined to lead mankind in its war against darkness by wielding a sword known as the Lightbringer.

(In simple terms, this person is responsible for bringing down the White Walkers. Pretty big deal, if you ask us.)

fan on Reddit has laid out some compelling arguments as to why Jon Snow\'s right-hand man is this Prince.

"Davos drew Lightbringer from the fire. Davos was reborn amidst salt and smoke under a bleeding star. Davos resurrected Jon Snow and woke the dragon from stone. Davos is the savior that will protect the world from darkness," the poster wrote.

The fan pointed to a number of key episodes to demonstrate their point.

In season 2 episode 1, Ser Davos picks up a burning sword – which could be the Lightbringer as is prophesied in the ancient texts.

Melisandre told Jon Snow this about Azor Ahai: "When the red star bleeds and the darkness gathers, Azor Ahai shall be born again amidst smoke and salt to wake dragons out of stone."

In season 2, episode 9, Ser Davos gets caught up as his ship is destroyed by wildfire – which could have been foreshadowed by the line "born again amidst smoke and salt".

And in season 6 episode 2, Ser Davos was actually the one who resurrected Jon Snow, not Melisandre, as it was he who stayed behind and gave one final prayer. This could reference the line "to wake dragons out of stone", especially since Jon was lying on a stone slab.

returns to HBO on Sunday, July 16 and Monday, July 17 on Sky Atlantic in the UK. Watch a previous extended trailer for the new episodes below:
