Yes most believe that Cold Hands and Benjen are one and the same. Now what powers made him become a good undead...one willing to help is something I cant fathom. You?

I thought of the one Stark who I think was Lord Commander (can't remember his name), but married one of the others. Should be interesting to see in the next book. I read somewhere that GRRM said that the next book will have more about what's going on north of the wall. I think though, that the othere like (assuming it's true) Benjen, and the one that married the other Stark are rebels from the Other's cause. why else would the re-animated dead wights attack?

Did you mean a Stark married a wildling? I dont think anyone married an other....they're something more than dead, supernatural. I dont remember his name either...gotta go back and reread to find that.

I'll have to see if I can find it, but they were talking about how he (a Stark, who I am pretty sure was Lord Commander), and she was white, I believe the brothers had killed him. I'll have to do some research to be sure though.

I'll be very interested to know...sounds like a good storyline, I don,t recall that at all.

In fact, you're talking about the Night's King, the 13th Lord Commander who marry an Other. I red that Old Nan used to tell Bran that the Night's King was a former member of the Stark of Winterfell and that he was possibly called Brandon.
