I was thinking about Benjen Stark and what his disappearance could mean. Yes, he could just be traditionally dead but there is another prospect that is more exciting. What if Benjen is the Night King reborn? We know that the previous Night King was a Stark and that may tie into why there must be a Stark in Winterfell. It might be some sort of last line of defense should the Others make it across the Wall. What if Benjen has been bewitched or enchanted by the Others to lead them in their battle across the Wall. They would need a Stark, the noble blood of the First Men, to move against the Wall and the Children of the Forest. That would mean that someone of Stark blood would need to lead the fight against the Night King reborn, just as they had previously done. Enter Jon Targ, half Ice (Stark/First Men) and half Fire (Targ), who ushers in the neverending summer.

I think they have their Stark already at their disposal: Bran. I'm convinced The Three Eyed Crow commands the Others and is going to try to use Bran to take out Dany's dragons. It makes sense on how the Others would know where Sam was since the Mormont's Raven was always with him, and he'd know where to send Colhands as well to intercept them.

I think Coldhands is either a straight-up Other whose job was to escort Bran and Sam safely to the positions where they were supposed to be, or he has that same job, but is the son of the Night's King. Could be possible, since they made a point that the Night's King gave his Other Wife his seed. I'm thinking T3EC is the mastermind behind the opperation, while Coldhands will lead the army of the Others south.
