This White Walker was one of the Night King's lieutenants and one of the commanders of the growing wight army that marched on Hardhome, the last remaining wildling settlement.
He participated in the massacre at Hardhome during which he killed Loboda, the new Magnar of the Thenns, before he was killed by Jon Snow, Lord Commander of the Night's Watch.
Biography[]
Game of Thrones: Season 5[]
The White Walker fights Jon Snow.
During the attack on Hardhome, while Jon and Loboda search for a bag of dragonglass weapons inside a burning wildling hut, the White Walker gives chase, extinguishing the flames with his mere presence. Loboda tries to fight him to buy Jon time to retrieve the dragon glass but upon contact with the Walker's crystal sword his axe shatters. Loboda is slain by the White Walker. Jon, though plainly outmatched, takes on the Walker with two ordinary swords but they shatter as well. Desperately scrambling away from the creature, Jon finds his sword, Longclaw, and reflexively raises it to block the Walker’s killing blow. However, instead of shattering, Longclaw successfully blocks the strike from the Walker's spear, which shocks them both. Capitalizing on the Walker's shock, Jon lands a blow on the White Walker, causing him to instantly shatter into a cloud of icy dust and fragments.[1]
His death is observed by the Night King, who continues to watch Jon with interest, having finally seen something approaching actual resistance to the White Walkers' march.[1]

Notes[]
- ↑ In "Winter Is Coming," which takes place in 298 AC, Sansa Stark tells Cersei Lannister that she is 13 years old and Bran Stark tells Jaime Lannister that he is 10 years old. Arya Stark was born between Sansa and Bran, making her either 11 or 12 in Season 1. The rest of the Stark children have been aged up by 2 years from their book ages, so it can be assumed that she is 11 in Season 1. Arya is 18 in Season 8 according to HBO, which means at least 7 years occur in the span of the series; therefore, each season of Game of Thrones must roughly correspond to a year in-universe, placing the events of Season 5 in 302 AC.
