It’s heavily implied that this is how all the other Walkers were also created, and this has happened to all of Craster’s sons, though we do not know whether the Night King can only turn babies into Walkers, or whether he can do it to anyone. The Night King turns Craster’s last son into a White Walker (Photo: HBO) He carries it to an icy altar and we watch as its eyes chillingly turn blue. In season 4 we see the Night King create a brand new Walker by placing his hand on Craster’s last abandoned son.
Then there are the White Walkers, an entirely different proposition. Wights are fairly weak on their own, but definitely strong in their hundreds of thousands – the number the Night King has at his disposal. How did he make his Army of the Dead?Įverything you need to know about Game of Thrones season 8Īs we know, the Night King has the power to raise the dead, turning them into wights (essentially Game of Thrones‘ version of zombies – brainless, rabid, although scarily quick). The Walkers helped the Children defend themselves against the First Men, but it didn’t take long for the undead to turn on their creators, ushering in the Long Night.
They were losing, and needed a secret weapon, so Leaf plunged a dragonglass dagger into a man’s chest, causing his eyes to turn blue and turning him into the first White Walker. Leaf turning one of the First Men into the Night King (Photo: HBO)Īt this time thousands of years ago, the Children of the Forest were at war with the First Men. Bran is shocked to discover it is Leaf, a Child of the Forest he has grown close to, who did the deed, but she explains it was for a very good reason. We see this happen in season 6 during one of Bran’s visions.
Remember the Children of the Forest? The kind-of-greenish, kind-of-elven creatures who helped protect Bran, Meera and Hodor when they got to the Three-Eyed Raven’s cave? Well they actually created the Night King. Is Bran Stark the Night King? Game of Thrones season 8 theory explained We know he’s one cold-hearted bastard and a crack shot with a spear, but here’s everything else you need to remember about Game of Thrones‘ big bad, from his origins to his possible intentions. The Army of the Dead is led, of course, by the Night King – now armed with his very own wight dragon.
