Given that Martin doesn't seem to introduce characters like that, someone we know is more likely Cannoli Send a noteboard - 18/08/2011 09:36:50 PM
The thing is we do not know how long you can be a wight, and since the wall is 8000 years old, it could have been any NW brother. From a lowly cook to some former commander.

I am not saying it can or can't be Benjen, just saying it may be someone we do not expect. Or it may never come up again for it is possible that Coldhands is finished with the plot now that Bran is learning from the Greenseer.

There are not many eligible candidates of the characters we know, and it is unlikely that Martin would create a whole new character given his habit of making everything connected. Even the Three Eyed Crow turned out to be a previously developed character.

Bran didn't recognize him because his face is always covered Jim - 18/08/2011 04:28:55 AM 1270 Views
If his face is always covered, how can you say you know who he is? Roland00 - 18/08/2011 12:14:18 PM 1198 Views
I don't think anyone's saying they know who he is. Sareitha Sedai - 18/08/2011 02:42:32 PM 1234 Views

And how developed was the Three Eyed Crow Roland00 - 19/08/2011 04:27:32 AM 1305 Views
But the point is, they were introduced at least, and not brought in from left field. Cannoli - 19/08/2011 11:36:41 AM 1239 Views
Well, it was sort of foreshadowed (in hindsight). Sareitha Sedai - 19/08/2011 01:29:48 PM 1280 Views
That's true. Sareitha Sedai - 18/08/2011 02:10:19 PM 1178 Views
Also, telling your 10-year-old nephew that you're a monster now must be rough. Cannoli - 18/08/2011 09:39:49 PM 1347 Views
