History
According to legend, the Night's King, lived during the Age of Heroes, not long after the Wall was complete. He was a fearless warrior and was named the thirteenth Lord Commander of the Night's Watch. Later he fell in love with a woman "with skin as white as the moon and eyes like blue stars...her skin was cold as ice."(description matches that of the Others) and brought her back to the Nightfort, proclaiming her Queen.
After the unholy union, he declared himself king and her his queen, and ruled the Night Fort as his own castle for thirteen years. During the dark years of his reign, horrific atrocities were committed, of which tales are still told in the North. It wasn't until his own brother, the King in the North, and Joramun the King-Beyond-the-Wall, joined forces to bring him down.[1] Afterwards all records of his name were obliterated and likelly this led the lords of the North forbiding the Nightatch to construct walls at their keeps, ensuring the keeps of the Night's Watch would always be accessible from the south. It's said that he had made sacrifices to the Others, possibly in similar way to Craster.[citation needed]
