Exactly why The Night King insists on killing Bran is later summed up by the Three-Eyed Raven himself in season 8, episode 2, "A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms," by stating “He wants to erase this world, and I am its memory.” Since the Three-Eyed Raven is basically a living record of mankind within the world of Game Of ...
When Tyrion announced his support of Bran being made king, he said Bran had the best stories. The world at large took that literally, and started listing every character that had better stories than Bran.
The show gives the explanation that the Night King wants to erase the world and all memory of it. Sam theorizes that Bran carries all the memories with him so he is the obvious target.
However, she identifies Night's King as a Stark of Winterfell and brother to the King of Winter and suggests his name was Brandon.
The Night King appears in a vision being observed by Bran and the Three-eyed Raven, where they witness him as a human being forcibly transformed into the first White Walker by the Children of the Forest by impaling him with a dragonglass dagger.
The road to Aegon II Targaryen (Tom Glynn-Carney) begins at the Tower of Joy. Although Bran won't learn the full extent of Jon Snow's (Kit Harington) parentage for another season, his flashback to the last battle of Robert's Rebellion is the first indication that not everything Ned told his children was true.
Jon Snow is actually half Targaryen, the oldest son of Daenerys's oldest brother. And in Game of Thrones' season eight premiere, “Winterfell,” the show capitalized on this family history with a scene in which Jon Snow rides one of Dany's two remaining dragons.
If someone does not benefit him or is incapable of serving his ends, they are dispensable. This relentlessness - and unwillingness to prevent the tragedy that forges his path to royalty - is what makes Bran the true villain on Game of Thrones.
According to Old Nan, the Night's King may in fact be (hold on to your small clothes) a Stark! If that isn't enough, legend has it that the Night's King was not just any Stark, he was King Brandon Stark's brother—or possibly Brandon Stark himself!
In Season 8, Bran reveals that the Night King wants to destroy him because he holds all of the history of man.
Bran Became The Night King By Accident
People are always warning Bran about warging for too long, so the idea here is that he tries to warg into the captive First Man to help him escape, only his consciousness becomes trapped in his body and Bran has essentially been the Night King this entire time.
Easily the most callous, dastardly, and self-destructive villain in HBO's Game of Thrones universe, Cersei Lannister was, at points, television's most despised character, as her thirst for power and hatred of her brother, fan-favorite Tyrion Lannister, put her at direct odds with the heroes of our story.
Ser Jaime Lannister later realizes that Joffrey sent the assassin in an attempt to impress his father, after overhearing a drunken King Robert I Baratheon say it would be kinder to put the crippled Bran out of his misery.
Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish
Littlefinger is arguably the most diabolical character in Game of Thrones. His cunning and deceit were so subtle that viewers of the show didn't know whether to love him or hate him.
He didn't eat her. According to the Game of Thrones showrunners speaking on the Season 8 finale disc commentary, Drogon did not tenderly pick up Dany's corpse and fly away with it so he could – as some fans have theorised – tuck in to a tasty snack en route to Volantis.
Game of Thrones' Drogon chose not to kill Jon Snow because of his Targaryen blood, his love for Daenerys, and Drogon's possible understanding that while Jon committed the act, he wasn't the reason for Daenerys' death at the end of Game of Thrones'.
Weiss said, “Seeing Jon and Dany on the dragons together is a Jon and Dany moment, but it also seeds in the idea these creatures will accept Jon Snow as one of their riders.” So when Rhaegal and Drogon stare at Jon, it's not anything malicious. It's pure respect.
So, when Jon saved Commander Jeor Mormont from a Wight, using his bare hand to throw a lantern across the room—he let out a scream. He was burned by the fire; he is not fireproof.
Why does Jon Snow have black hair? Because he isn't a “pure-blood” Targaryen: his mother, Lyanna Stark, has the same dark auburn, almost pure black hair as his, thus explaining, more or less, why his hair isn't Targaryen silver.
Biography. The Night's King and the Night's Queen enslaved the black brothers and performed human sacrifices. According to legend, the Night's King was originally a Lord Commander of the Night's Watch who found in the Haunted Forest a cold woman with bright blue eyes, seemingly a female White Walker.
The Night King Turns Craster's Sons Into White Walkers
As for why babies, and not adults, are candidates for transformation into White Walkers, this is likely because infants are easier to mold into whatever the Night King wishes.
Game of Thrones: Season 4
After being left at an icy altar, the Night King takes the boy and puts a finger to his face. The baby's eyes quickly turn the color of those of the White Walkers.
Besides his endlessly-multiplying bloodthirsty wights, one of the Night King's most powerful weapons was Daenerys' old dragon Viserion, who was turned into an ice zombie at the end of season 7.
They can't swim, but they can't drown either
Bits of rotting flesh on bone probably aren't too buoyant in real life, either, so it's no surprise that every wight that set foot in water sank like a stone. But with no need for life-giving oxygen, you can just walk around down there!
