The way they teleport all over Westeros, I think Cleganebowl could still be a possibility, but who knows?

"Jon , already being ‘undead’ means the night King has no power over his dead body. "

First time I've seen that theory. I like it!

The Night King didn’t have any power over Uncle Benjen, either. Uncle Benjen was attacked by the White Walkers and left for dead, but one of the Children of the Forest found him and stopped him from coming under the control of the White Walkers. Benjen then became an ally of the Three Eyed Raven and the Children of the Forest.

Wow, I missed that one too. I’ve read all the books twice or more, and didn’t grasp it. All I knew is that Benjen was pretty ‘enigmatic’.
Although I have missed a couple of the shows, and didn’t pay close attention to a few others while they were on.

The TV show sometimes combines characters from the book, so Uncle Benjen and Cold Hands are likely different characters in the book. The back stories and character motivations are sometimes different, too.

In the TV show, Uncle Benjen said that the Children of the Forest found him before he turned, and they were able to stop the magical process that would have put him under the control of the White Walkers.

I’ve come across some interesting theories about the Night King. Anybody have any guesses on the history of this villain?

In Season 7 when Bran was being made into the Three-Eyed Raven, in one of the middle episodes told how the Night King came to be was told. As Bran was in the cave and the then Three-Eyed Raven was showing Bran visions of the past, there was a female creature in the cave/tree with him (I forget their names at this moment). In the episode, the creature is shown driving a dagger of obsidian into a male’s chest. When the dagger is all the way in, the human male’s eyes turn blue. Bran then exclaims they made the Night King. Her response was they did it because they were at war and were being killed - by humans. That was how the Night King was created.

Another episode in another season said the White Walkers were under the ice for thousands of years. So far the story does not tell how they came out of hibernation.

Well, I just watched Episode 2, and it was mostly B-O-R-I-N-G.

Anyone else think so?

Either a brother of the Stark Lord so has Stark blood or a bastard of Winterfell who was a Snow himself.
