Game Of Thrones: 10 Evil Acts Committed By Starks
5. A Stark Became The First Night's King
While they share a similar name, the Night's King is very different from the Night King.
The Night King was the said to be the original white walker created by the Children of the Forest and the bringer of the Long Night. The Night's King was yet another Brandon Stark that became the thirteenth Lord Commander of the Night's Watch.
The legend goes that the Lord Commander fell in love with a woman whose skin was white as the moon with eyes like blue stars. Many fans take this description to mean that Brandon actually fell in love with a female white walker also known as the Others. After "he gave his seed to her" it is said that he also gave his soul.
The Night's King brought his new love south where they ruled over the Nightfort as King and Queen. Countless atrocities were enacted at the Nightfort during their thirteen-year rule.
It wasn't until ANOTHER Brandon Stark, this one nicknamed the King of Winter, teamed up with Joramun, the first King-Beyond-the-Wall that they were able to defeat them.
