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.
