There are many still unanswered questions in a Song of Ice and Fire. Here we try to piece together answers from what we already know.
Parentage
Brienne of Tarth
It is theorized that Brienne of Tarth is a descendant of Ser Duncan the Tall.
Jon Snow
It remains unclear who Jon Snow's mother is, and possibly even if Eddard Stark is in fact his father.
True Identities
Alleras the Sphinx
It seems very likely that the novice Alleras is actually Sarella Sand, one of Oberyn Martell's illegitimate daughters.
Azor Ahai
Melisandre claims Stannis Baratheon with his magic sword is Azor Ahai come again, the prince who was promised. Maester Aemon remarks that his magic sword bears no heat though Lightbringer is supposed to be warm to behold and so believes someone else to be the prince who was promised.
Coldhands
While it seems clear Coldhands was, in life, a member of the Night's Watch, it's unclear who exactly he was.
Knight of the Laughing Tree
A mystery knight named The Knight of the Laughing Tree fought at the Tourney at Harrenhal and defended the honor of Howland Reed. His true identity remains unknown, but he could have been played by Lyanna Stark.
Patchface
Patchface has a remarkable if largely unnoticed prophetic capability. His past and Lord Steffon Baratheon's reasons for bringing him to Westeros are known only in very broad strokes. Could there be more to him than meets the eye? What is the origin and nature of his predictions?
Robert Strong
Little is known of Robert Strong, but evidence suggests he is either Ser Gregor Clegane, or a kind of Frankenstein's Monster created from Clegane's corpse.
The Sailor's Wife
It's possible the Sailor's Wife is actually Tysha, Tyrion Lannister's first wife.
The Three-Eyed Crow
Evidence seems to point to Brynden "Bloodraven" Rivers to being the true identity of the Three-Eyed Crow.
Unexplained Murders
Balon Greyjoy
The people of Westeros are willing to believe Balon was simply swept off a bridge into the sea, but this may not be what truly happened.
Rhaegar, Symond and Jared Frey
It seems likely that Lord Manderly murdered three Freys and had them baked into the pies he presented at Ramsay Bolton's wedding feast.
Whereabouts
Jaqen H'ghar
Tracking a man who can change his identity at will is a bit difficult, but not impossible.
Jeyne Poole
Jeyne is hidden for quite some time before being used by Tywin Lannister as an imposter of Arya Stark to help solidify the North. It is unclear where she was held all that time.
Jeyne Westerling
Conflicting descriptions by Catelyn Stark and Jaime Lannister suggest perhaps Jeyne Westerling has an imposter.
Benjen Stark
Benjen has been missing for some time. In CoK the Old Bear and Jon Snow discuss the empty wilding villages, realising that if Benjen found the villages empty, he would search for the reason.
