Game Of Thrones: 13 Crazy Fan Theories That Could Actually Be True

13. Bran Stark Is Every Brandon Stark (And Influenced The Mad King)

Bran warged into Young Hodor while in the present Meera shouted at him to 'Hold the door', leading to the answer of why Hodor can only say that one word. It broke hearts (and the internet), and also opened the door to a whole new realm of Bran-related theories.

While there may be some variances, the general gist of the most believable (let's not get into him being the Lord of Light here) is that he's been moving through history, influencing key events.

One such example goes along similar lines to 'hold the door', stating that he was responsible for the voices in the Mad King's head, which drove him to repeatedly yelling "burn them all." This wasn't Aerys shouting about the people rebelling against him, but hearing Bran shouting about wights. The theory was aided by the fact that Aerys II was one of the character's to appear in Bran's visions.

It continues going back into Westeros' past, and actually posits that he was every Brandon Stark who ever lived (alluded to when Old Nan gets the Brans confused). So there's his uncle Brandon, a death he himself may have actually been responsible for; Bran the Breaker, who defeated the Night's King; and of course Bran the Builder, founder of House Stark and the man credited with building the Wall. So yeah, Bran himself may have built the Wall, and rather poetically, he's probably going to be the one who brings it down as well.
