Could CH be one of the 79 sentinels? He died long ago and was in the NW. The NW members that CH killed were probably the ones who killed Mormont, so CH would still be "faithful" to the NW.


Would make sense only if Bran ends up being on the side of the Night's Watch (whatever "side" that may be), since CH helps Bran to fulfill his destiny.

i think you're close. i think it's Lord Ryswell. the book says he took the black in his old age but doesn't say he was sealed up in the wall

What makes you think that?

Not much, he just fits the profile.

Old as frick.

From the North.

Good with animals (crows and elk)

Probably not a wildling.

Probably not an Andal.

Former Night's Watchman.

Fits the Stark profile, old Nan claimed there was an old Stark that was cursed from fricking a female undead.

2-3 books later, nope, it was just a teen misunderstanding and trying to impress daddy if i'm remembering right. Makes me think book 7's prologue will be someone finding Benjen's body, and it'll be like "oh, well, guess he really was dead all this time, not sure why anyone expected different in these conditions *looks at the readers*" cause, you know, GRRM is a dick and hates happiness.


this is going to happen and everyones theories are shite. Oh, and the dragons got greyscale and died in the same chapter. Bran and Rickon were just on shrooms and seeing shite the whole time.

Ok then do we have any idea what made him basically immortal? Is it as simple as sorcery/magic? Or do we have any hints as to why he's destined to roam as a wight halfbreed?

Not really, it had to do with one of the stories from Nightfort.

It's from a Bran chapter when they are at the Nightfort.

Just looked it up.

It's the tale of the Night's King, page 762 in Storm of Swords (paperback version.)

the Night's King
ah yes, forgot that he's probably the Night's King. old nan says he was a stark and possibly named Brandon so it's not Lord Ryswell. we don't know a lot about who he actually was because his name was stricken from history when his brother, the Stark in Winterfell, unseated him from the Nightfort

They sent most of their men and all of their ships to rescue the Wildlings from Hardhome. Now all their men are stuck on the shores because of storms and the Wildlings are trying to attack the ships while wights are venturing out into the water from the forest.

Basically, Eastwatch is 1 or 2 days away from getting a huge undead butt ramming.

Here's the synopsis from towerofthehand.

quote:

Bran's thoughts turn to the Night's King, the semi-legendary thirteenth commander of the Watch who once spied a pale maiden from atop the Wall and chased her down to make her his queen. According to the legend, she took his soul and bound the Watch to serve his will, ruling as a king for thirteen years before the King in the North joined with Joramun to end his rule. After he was overthrown, the victors discovered he had been sacrificing to the Others and had all mention of him stricken from the records. When Old Nan would tell the story, she would end by saying no one knew who he was, but that he was speculated to be a Magnar from Skagos, an Umber, a Flint, a Norrey, or a Woodfoot from the house that ruled Bear Island before it was conquered by the ironmen, but that the real identity of the Night's King was a Stark.

What's interesting to me about the Night's King story is that it certainly implies that the Others are more then what we take them to be.
