Game of Thronesis full of mysterious graphic symbol , but one could make an argument for the Night King being the most inscrutable of them all . Since next to nothing has been bring out about him on the show — all we know is that he was a penis of the First Men , transformed into a White Walker by the Children of the Forest after they stuck dragonglass in his heart — fans are leave to theorize about who he was and , perhaps more importantly , what he want . But one Redditor has hatch a pretty telling hypothesis about the Night King : that he ’s creditworthy for build up the Wall .
UserDanGliesacargues that the Night King build the Wall after the battle against him during the Long Night . Thistime period , which took position thousands of old age before the War of Conquest ( also known as the Targaryen Conquest ) , is when the White Walkers primitively came to Westeros .
The idea is that since the Night King brings wintertime wherever he goes , and own great force we do n’t even know the extent of yet , he would ’ve been the most potential beast to create the great ice rampart . And his reasoning would ’ve been simple : to keep out the kid of the Forest , the First Men , and anyone else who could be a potential threat to his citizenry . While Westerosian history books claim that Bran the Builder was the one who build the Wall , it was Bran ’s the great unwashed who wrote those stories . As such , the theoretician resolve :
Fellow Redditors were agile to show their support for this theory , with one person total that , “ [ The Night King ] probably made a business deal with Brandon the Breaker : he makes the rampart , Brandon and the Children drop a line the spells so he ca n’t get back . ”
This possibility would make sense with the late reveal that the Night King is after just one person in the final time of year . In an consultation withEntertainment Weekly , Vladimir Furdik — the actor behind the steely - eyed character — promisedthat , " citizenry will see [ the Night King ] has a target area he want to down , and you will find out who that is . ”
If the Night King work up the Wall for tribute , it would make sensation that he ’s now only assay to break through it , thousands of yr after , because of someone in special . Who that someone is , however , is still up for argument .
