The Big Picture

  • The White Walkers were Game of Thrones' most formidable villains, requiring former enemies to unite against them.
  • Created by the Children of the Forest to protect against the First Men, they are a magical race lead by The Night King and have the ability to turn infants into White Walkers, resurrect the dead, and manipulate the weather.
  • White Walkers can be killed with Valyrian steel, but fortunately, when a White Walker falls, the wights they resurrected lose their mobility.
