Game Of Thrones: 25 Key Details You Need To Know & Remember For Season 8

4. The Night King Has A Target

For all he's now the main villain of the show, the Night King remains something of a mystery. We know he was a human who was then turned into a White Walker - the first White Walker - by the Children, but there's little else to know about him. All that really matters right now, though, is that he is basically Death. And in Season 8, Death has a target.

That's what the actor who plays him, Vladimir Furdik, told EW, saying: "People will see he has a target he wants to kill, and you will find out who that is."

While the White Walkers want to kill all the living, it's interesting that the Night King has a specific target. He's faced Jon Snow a couple of times, and it could also be Daenerys because of her dragons, but the most logical answer as to who it is is Bran Stark, now the Three-Eyed Raven. The Raven and the Night King clearly share a history, which also goes back to his creation by the Children, while he shares a connection with Bran too, so that would make sense.

There's still going to be a showdown with Jon too though, with Furdik adding: "There’s also that moment [in Hardhome] when Jon Snow was on the boat and the Night King looked at him and raised his arms - there’s a similar and even stronger moment between Jon and the Night King this time."
