Game Of Thrones Season 6: 6 Crazy Fan Theories About Bran Stark
2. He's Every Brandon Stark
Although Bran Stark may turn out to be the most important character in Game of Thrones, at the moment he isn't even the most important character to have had that name.
Before him there was his uncle Brandon, who was killed by the Mad King (maybe Bran's own fault...). And then there's the founder of House Stark and the man responsible for erecting the Wall: Brandon the Builder. And that's just naming the first and last before 'our' Bran; there are numerous others in between.
Well, what if they're not just distant relatives, but actually the same person? The theory goes along the line of Bran being able to time travel AND warg into humans, along with comments from Old Nan about all the Brandon Starks being one in her head. This would mean that he's been travelling through time and taking control of all the Bran Starks who've had some major impact, in order to get the world to the place it needs to be to save it from total destruction (there's a bit of a theme there).
Is it going to be true? Almost certainly not. But the parallels are there, and the notion of a new Bran Stark emerging every generation or whatever, well, ok that's another theory and just as crazy.
