So thats it? They are never going to explain who the fuck this is?

They already did. Watch the show before you shitpost

>male
If you can even call the NK a lifeform, "he" can't reproduce through sexual intercourse, so not really a male. Also he's more blue than white.

Who gives a shit what the show does. This character is 100% bad fanfiction.
GRRM was probably going to have the Others turn out to be something like normal people, but ice-based. Men are basically their White Walkers, and this age since the long night has been their long night, because they can't live in warm climates.

This is the worst criticism about the white walkers, they're supposed to be terminator zombies with an ambiguous plan to exterminate humanity, one of the few things that they did correctly was making their intentions as vague as possible.

>Assuming the White Walkers gender
like the Cis Scun of Westeros you assume that its a king...fucking nazi get punched

So, you joined GoT in Season 8, user? The answer to your question can be discovered by watching Season 6, Episode 5, "The Door".

It's easy.

The children and the first men existed together. The children thought the first men were going to wipe them out.

They captured one of them and used obsidian to create an antithesis of a first man, the night king, who they could use to control the population of first men.

However, the Night King was unable to be controlled like the puppet he was and had a mind of his own, and that mind was to just kill and raise first men.

The Night King himself is unimportant and unremarkable, what may be more interesting his is generals, who were clearly more complex beings than the Night King himself.

The whole thing was just a ripoff of The Lich King anyway.

I think watching game of thrones now it's entirely obvious that all this show/universe really is is a low-quality copy-pasta of lord of the rings and wrath of the lich king with nothing near the level of artistry.

Here is the Lich King cinematic:

You'll never hear about him again after this. He was a filler episode

What is the Night King?
What are dragons?
What are birds?
What is life?

all that hype just to piss him away with
>BLUE EYES LOL
>skips away
>teleports behind you mid-air
>stab in magic place that just happens to be unprotected
of all fucking places to lack armour, the fucking gut? i think fucking not.

>What is the Night King?
an empty plot device which was killed to progress the story of the war against cersei
>What are dragons?
expensive CGI, but with no real direction and which nobody asked for, just like the star wars prequels. This isn't the battle for minas tirith.
What are birds?
a smalelr part of the cgi budget, they're basically flying mcguffins you can use to carry mcguffins.
What is life?
a distraction from death.

They know that, they just don't like their time traveling bran fan fiction wasn't canon

why does a piece of sharp rock in your heart give you powers of nuclear winter and control over the dead

Well they just made him up in the show so he doesnt match all the symbolism but hes the bloodstone emporer/azor azhai. The original follower of the pattern who use blood magic to sacrifice nissa nissa giving him access to the trees and their magic, breaking the second moon, and causing the long night when the moon meteors cause smoke soot and debris to block out the sun.

Evidence the Night King was an honorable Stark.
Why does the Night King seem adamant to kill Bran personally? If he only wants to kill Bran, why doesn't he have his minions do it?
In s1e1 Ned Stark has sentenced a deserter of the Nights Watch to die by beheading and has a conversation with Bran afterwards.
Ned: "But do you understand why I had to kill him?"
Bran: "Our way is the old way?"
Ned: "The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword."
This means the Starks have an old honorable tradition of personally executing the ones you sentence to die.
The Night King had sentenced the Three Eyed Raven (Bran) to die and therefore has to personally execute him because of his honor as a Stark. "Our way is the old way."
If the Night King is an honorable man, that would explain a lot of his behavior. He doesn't want to kill men, the one who told you he wants to, the Three Eyed Raven, is a liar. (there is further evidence 3ER is a liar)
George RR Martin doesn't write purely good or bad characters and GOT is known for flipping your views on characters, just like Jamie Lannister went from bad to good, the Night King might go from bad to good.

Evidence the Three Eyed Raven is a liar.
Throughout history ravens have had deep symbolism. Ravens have symbolized mischief and trickery. It was thought witches could transform themselves into ravens to fly away and avoid capture. Ravens has always been seen as highly intelligent and is represented in Norse mythology as Huginn and Muninn, Odins ravens. Huginn meaning "thought" and Muninn meaning "mind" or "memory". All of these things fit into the character of Bran the Three Eyed Raven. Bran Stark is based on Brân the Blessed (Welsh: Bendigeidfran or Brân Fendigaidd, literally "Blessed Crow") who is a giant and king of Britain in Welsh mythology."The name "Brân" in Welsh is usually translated as crow or raven."
After Bran gets pushed out the window by Jamie Lannister and is in recovery, Old Nan tells Bran: "Don't listen to it, crows are all liars." furthering the narrative that crows and ravens are seen in the GOT universe as lying creatures. youtube.com/watch?v=aC7qh8gFbhQ
This then relates back to the Night King being an honorable Stark, because the Three Eyed Raven is the one who says that the Night King only wants death. He doesn't. The Three Eyed Raven is lying.
Still think 3ER is a good guy? Bloodraven tells Bran that "... Darkness will be your cloak, your shield, your mother's milk. Darkness will make you strong."

Their weapon turned against them. They thought they could control him and they thought making him weak to their tech (frozen flame/obsidian) would be enough of a backup.

It wasnt.

Woodland creatures should have created something like Swamp Thing as their creator, not some ice demon.

So dragonglass and valerian steel can kill wights and white walkers
But dragonglass to the heart can turn a dead man into an undead person with their original agency (uncle benjen being blue-eyed, undead, good guy)
And dragonglass to the heart can turn a living man into a Night King??

I can't believe people like you with 0 perception skills actually exist. Maybe they're meant to be like that in the show but I guess that's made for people like you after-all so no harm no foul.

Where the fuck did you get the information about the breaking of the second moon?

Season six episode six. He was a weapon.

>"he" can't reproduce through sexual intercourse
So he's basically a chantard?

With macig by Forest people. Old Gods or that network by the trees.

What about the business of the 13th Nightwatch Commander married a female White Walker. they seem to completely skip over that plot point.

>He still had expectations
Holy shit

It's "sweetie" you retard

I guess it's true that I'm in the top 3% intellectually, because you're all fucking retarded to not see how the pieces fit together.

Why did they change him in this season? He looks alien and imposing here in season 5.

In season 8 he looks like some goofy smug chad fuckboi.

Seriously that plot point sound more interesting than just ice terminator. Did he love that White Walker? How was he defeated? Is he still alive?

That's not a plot point, it's just part of the Westeros mythos that they didn't have time for in the show

Why did he want to kill bran? Yes bran knows how to kill him but he already told everyone how. There must be another reason which would make baiting him with bran make sense. Hopefully its addressed

How do you people still exist

I have a feeling this will be a spin-off series.
The time before GoT, and you follow this guy as he becomes the coldboi.

That's not an explanation. Who was this man before he was the night king? Why did he attack men thousands of years ago? What did he do the last 8000 years? What are his confirmed motives? etc.

They already did. It's some random dude who a green woman put a piece of glass into his chest. The end. Fuck you. Keep consuming your slop pig.
