Rickyhunt Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Where is he? Is he dead? Has he become a wight or an Other? Will he return? Why did he disappear? If alive what is he doing? There are many questions and theories on Benjen. I actually just watched a video on YouTube saying he is in The Land Of Always Winter and he is trying to discover mysteries about the White Walkers. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootaloo Stark Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 After my first read, I thought he's Coldhands. But now I'm sure he's not. My guess is that he's somewhere in the Land of Always Winter. Probably on a mission for the Children. I just can't believe that he's been on his own the whole time, and I refuse to believe he's dead. And yes, we'll see him again somehow. Most likely when we also see more of the Others, and shit goes down at the Wall. By the way, imagine if this mystery remains a mystery at the end. Imagine if Martin decides not everything has to be known. :frown5: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floki of the Ironborn Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 By the way, imagine if this mystery remains a mystery at the end. Imagine if Martin decides not everything has to be known. :frown5: Pretty sure that he's already made that his mantra. We'll certainly never know everything. Like what the Dornish Letter entailed, how Maegor died, stuff like that. Whether we won't see Benjen again is another matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcuin Arundel Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 If it's true that "There must always be a Stark in Winterfell," then one possibility is that Benjen is the mysterious hooded figure who crosses Theon's path in ADwD. All the other Starks are accounted for at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the other Starks are accounted for at that point. I've thought about that too. I think it more likely, though, that the hooded man is the Blackfish.

LyrnaSnowBunnyAvenger Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 He is in the land of always winter on a mission for the CotF. I have to believe that we'll see him again. I agree that he is not Coldhands, makes no sense with Leaf's comment. I also agree that the hooded man is likely Blackfish - or Theon. I'm not sure of this one yet.

Many Faced Dude Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 this forum is a loop is a loop is a loop is a loop is a loop is a loop anyway best statement i read about Benjen theories in one (of 10K topics) was: "Last sentence of the series belongs to Benjen: Howdie, did I miss anything?"

aryagonnakill#2 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Benjen you were in the same room as Mance Ryder Stark? Benjen you helped Lyanna with her armor at the tourney of Harrenhall and didn't tell anyone she wasn't kidknapped Stark?!? He's probably just ranging with no idea what's going on.

VenezuelanLord Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I think he is a pow in always winter, and the WW are using his blood a la Melisandre, now that you mention the fact about him not being alone.. If benjen took a trip to always winter this would mirror the last hero, the last hero went there alone with his dog, now this is wishful thinking in no way im sure this will happen, but how awesome would be if Benjen's dog its the Diredaddy of the Starks wolves?

Minuteman Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Captured by the Other(s). The whole series begin with White Walkers attacking some rangers trailing Wildlings. The White Walkers have a conversation in the Old tongue before killing Royce, wighting him to kill Will, and letting Gared flee unmolested. If the words were translated they would likely have been: "Are any of these Starks?", "No, none have the blood we are looking for", "Kill them then or let them go, either way they are of no significance". The Other(s) seem to have started their full on invasion shortly after Benjen vanished. Dollars to donuts they need a Stark to defeat the Wall and that is Benjen's purpose.

nyser1 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I would like to think alive, but I think either: A) an Other now (turned into one, some sort of connection to the origin of them) B) a corpse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scourge of westeros Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I don't think benjen will be the new nights king. I do however believe jon will meet up with benjen again and be forced to strike him down as a wight. It would be a nice way to continue Jon's internal struggle.

Scorpion92 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 He will reveal to Jon the connection between Starks and Others, while Bran will help Jon complete his Winterfell crypt dream and reveal his parentage. With that new knowledge and Bran and Benjen at his side, Jon will become King of Winter and wipe out Night's Watch and continue march South.

Richard Writhen Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Yeah I like that idea. That he is in the Land of Always Winter in a sort of WW prison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pancakes1800 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 He's dead. He was used a plot device to get Jon to the Wall then he needed to leave so Jon could find his own way. He is for sure not Coldhands as that doesn't fit what we know about him. He is not the hooded man in Winterfell, neither is the Blackfish. The hooded man is Harwin(IMO). He may come back as wight, but that would be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
