Koekfabriek Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Benjen may have the horn that Mance was searching for. Bran may see him & guide him safely to the wall. Or maybe he'll turn up just in time to save Jon Snow.I thought Sam had the horn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bastard of Walton Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I thought Sam had the horn?He has a horn, chances are its "the horn" that will bring down the wall. But if Benjen is alive, there has to be a hell of a reason why he hasnt gone back to the wall & him having the horn is the only one I could think of, unless he is coldhands.

davybyrne95 Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 I hope he's alive but I always got the impression he is Coldhands. Yea I know there's stuff hinting that he isn't but it just always felt like him to me... the Uncle coming to the aid of his nephew when he needs it most.

davybyrne95 Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 i have one problem with him beimg coldhands which is the obvious that bran knows what his uncle looks like and that he would instantly recognise him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manderlay Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 When Coldhands was introduced, I thought Benjen Stark! but we cannot be completely sure of that, Jon (I believe he will live in TWoW) will have to lead a ranging to lands of always winter at some point in TWoW, that is when we will know the fate of Benjen Stark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gannicus Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 He could be Coldhands, he could be dead, if he is I think we'll see it in a Bran chapter.I've been wondering whether he's going to pop up unexpectedly somewhere, Skagos, the hooded man in Winterfell. I of course have no idea how it would all come to pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaime the Queenslayer Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I haven't yet finished aDwD but George said that we would be taken further north than we've been so far. Could it be possible that Benjen could become a POV character for the deep north? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bemused Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I think Benjen is back already, as the Hooded Man in WF. He may have already been farther north than we've seen , but we get to hear about it ..or once there is a suitable Stark established in WF, he'll be free to do something else.There are now two experienced Stark leaders ,Jon and Benjen ... one for the wall and one for WF .

Dornish Piss Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I think Benjen has uncovered the conspiracy that there are no "good" or "bad" guys in Martin's world. The white walkers aren't evil, they're just mindless and have been brought back to balance power (Ice) against the dragons and the rise of R'hllor (Fire). I don't trust the children and the Greenseer either, and I think they've got some "to save Westeros we must destroy the race of men" trick up their sleeves, and I think Bran is gonna be played like a lute, and do some serious damage, until he wisens up and tames some dragons. Who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varys BrightBlackflayrme Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I think of Benjen as the Last Hero. Some of the story is very similar to Benjens mission, except he didn't have a dog with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FattyPeon Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Benjen chapters would be a goldmine of information about all the key figures in the KOTLT story, add that to being in the land of always winter on some sort of mission for the children/bloodraven, and him being a Stark, it all sounds so epic. I hope it happens. Maybe he left the obsidian at the fist for Jon too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaime the Queenslayer Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Could it also be possible that Benjen Stark had died, but had been reanimated into a Wight? Who leads an attack of some sort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WardenOfTheNerds Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Could it also be possible that Benjen Stark had died, but had been reanimated into a Wight? Who leads an attack of some sortWould be pretty lame if he was just a wight, i mean wights are basically mindless whitewalker spawns for all we know, why make benjen one of them? There are theories however that he is coldhands for example, maybe he became some kind of whitewalker champion or sth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wankerfell Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Benjen's gone, folks. His disappearance was required to bring the crows north of the Wall to see all that they saw, for Sam to learn how they're killed, for Mormont to die, for Jon to prepare for the Wildling and to become Lord Commander (and then to die). If he isn't back by now, and he wasn't with the Children, then he's dead. No other explanation makes any sense. He's not hiding, he didn't run off to Skagos. He served his purpose in the story, and he's never coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The True Queen Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Coldhands' face is purposefully concealed. I'm thinking we found Benjen...Martin conceals him because he is Bran's uncle. Benjen doesn't need any unnecessary questions when his nephew will be able to learn all of it when he grows into his abilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flayed Starkman Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Benjen can't be dead. It makes no sense introducing a character of such magnitude, and then have him disappear for the rest of the series.Having him as a WoW epilogue POV would be great.

The True Queen Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 In this universe death is ephemeral for some. A friend made a good point to me, so I do understand that Bran would know his uncle's voice: maybe the covering or being a white changes the way he sounds lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FattyPeon Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I dunno about Benjen=Coldhands. Leaf said "they killed him long ago".That doesn't sound like she meant "like a year ago". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
