We first saw the White Walkers’ leader in a vision of Bran’s in Season 4. In that season’s finale, we watched him turn Craster’s infant son into a White Walker with just a touch of his finger. He has since appeared in times of great danger and turmoil, such as when he led the attack on Hardhome in Season 5 and when his army descended upon Bran and his friends in the Three-Eyed Raven’s tunnels in Season 6.
