I don't think benjen is cold hands. Remember leaf told bran "they killed him long ago". If Benjen is dead then he would only have been killed recently. Also bran doesn't reconise his voice.
+KDSlaughtermad It seems unlikely but I would like to know his fate, dead, lost, or otherwise. To just have him be MIA for the rest of the story would be a bummer.
I feel like he joined the Night's Watch because Ned told him who Jon is. I can understand Ned not telling Catelyn, but Benjen has just as much right to know as Ned does.
You could tell that Jon thought highly of Benjen. I believe that what Benjen meant when speaking of how heavy a price one pays to join the watch is that years after joining he realized he would have liked children.
Aww yeah! I've been waiting for this one. Benjen is just so mysterious. And the reason I think I'm more curious about him than his eldest brother is the fact we got to meet him and see his duel nature (Stark of Winterfell and Brother of the Night's Watch). I really want him to return. Thanks for the video Rawrist. I always enjoy your videos. They are knowledgeable as can be and entertaining. A nice combination.
Good video as always. Benjen Stark, the unsolved mystery of A Song of Ice and Fire. Personally, I've come to feel that Benjen's mystery will never be solved. I don't think we'll ever really know.
Hey Raw, if you had to marry one of the Baratheon brothers, which one would you choose? - Robert (drunken fool) - Stannis (serious and unforgiving) - Renly (well, you know where his interest lies)
I think that Bloodraven has Benjen Stark, dead but living, so that he (Bloodraven) can wait into his body and leave the heart tree after making Bran the new Last Greenseer. Think about this: Bloodraven a.k.a. Brynden Rivers has bloodties with the Starks (Benjen's great-grandmother, Bran's great-great grandmother) . They are kin and I believe that this blood connection made his ability to communicate with Bran all the stronger. Now, I think that Bloodraven, however subtly, motivated Benjen Stark to join the Night's Watch.
I hope he went around the others and went to their home(s) and is finding out some stuff about the others. They have buildings, for example the altar thing where the baby got blue eyes. Or he just died in the snow. Which is the most realistic.
+William Gunter haha, that's okay. The only time it made me sad was on my Walking Dead review when 70% of the comments were about the new GoT trailer, not my actual review. I did see BvS!
+Rawrist Thanks for reply I look forward to your review of it. also a Martian question have you read Tuff Voyaging? Would love to see your take on that book.
benjin is coming back this season John will ressurect benjin will become Lord Commander and put the turncoats to the sword. John will March on winferfell take it over then the war for the dawn begins. John will send all the wildlings and northmen to fight off the first white Walker assualt but they won't be enough they retreat in just enough time for dragons to fly over their heads cause Danny has come over. John being around the dragons gets his flaming sword and fully becomes azor ahai.
I'm not a big fan of r+l=j however if benjen was close to lyanna and claims that Jon snow has traits to being a son of his the that to me is a big indication of r+l=j being true. Also I was wondering, were the dragon eggs which daney hached the same eggs that aegon v tried to hatch on the fire of summerhall? I know it's off topic but I always wanted to know?
I really subscribed to The Benjen= Cold Hands Theory but I don't think it is the case. In the trailer when they showed some mysterious guy riding a horse I thought it could be cold hands but I remembered he rode an elk.
You are right, Coldhands did ride in elk. GRRM confirmed some time ago that Benjen is not Coldhands, but I'm hoping (fingers crossed) that Benjen is the guy with the burning flail in the trailer saving Meera Reed (the lump on the ground on the right of that scene) from whoever or whatever is attacking her. A girl can hope. LOL
Had Benjen somehow remained on the Night's watch roster and existed in a perfect GOT world, I'm pretty confident he would've been a top contender if not a shoe-in for Lord Commader after Mormont... Jon would've had at the bare minimum a fair existence with his uncle at the helm altho I highly doubt he would've kept Jon on as personal steward to the Lord Commander... He was honorable like Ned and would not have given Jon favor or even the insinuation of such a thing and would stayed objective I think
Excellent video- I know you said there is a future video coming but curious about the speculation as to why Benjen joined the Night's Watch. Seems like Benjen and Ned didn't have that close of a relationship themselves.
Could Benjen be one of the two people who knows or suspects who Jon really is? Benjen likely helped his sister at Harrenhal if she was the Knight of the Laughing Tree, and Lyanna would have probably confessed any plans she had to him.
+Helyne May I've lost count of the amount of times I've read the books. But I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've actually really wondered if Ned confided the truth to his brother. Benjen is the one person who had a certain right to know what happened. With Benjen's allegiance to the wall. He owed no one else that secret.
+Rainefaelyn If Benjen knows, I think it's probably because he helped Lyanna escape with Rhaegar and was probably filled with guilt and took the Black. There's two possibilities 1) He figures out that Jon isn't Ned's but keeps it to himself as he knows the danger that Jon would be in if the secret came out. or 2) Ned told him, but I think it's more likely the first option.
+Rainefaelyn i agree especially how you worded it a right to that secrect being he was neds only living immediate family and for as much as ned and brandon loved and protected lyanna benjen knew her best makes sense
I feel like he knows and that's why he went to the watch. I can understand Ned not telling Catelyn, but Benjen had as much right to know who Jon is as Ned did. I don't know what happened before Lyanna got taken, but that's what I feel happened after. I'm very inclined to believe that he also helped Lyanna and Rhaegar run away together. I find it hard to believe that she never expressed unhappiness with being betrothed to Robert and as her brother, he would just want to help her. Especially being too young to fully understand what is expected of them by being in a noble house. So your bff sister keeps talking about how miserable she is having to marry Robert and how she really loves Rhaegar and wants to be with Rhaegar. Of course he's going to help her. I can definitely see Lyanna "tricking" her brother into helping her as well. "I don't want to marry Robert, please don't make them force me to marry Robert, help me run away.....to Harrenhall where my love is waiting." Or maybe Benjen was just helping her run away and that's when they ran into Rhaegar.
I would like to add that while rhaegar could easily be a serial killer rapist that's very good at hiding it, I find it suspicious that George RR Martin does not casually mention other women disappearing from King's Landing or anywhere else after Rhaegar has left that area.
thanks Rawrist, awesome as always. can't wait for the next one...Many ppl assume he is coldhands...don't u think that's too easy? and speaking of coldhands, also many believe that he appeared in the red band trailer of season 6 swinging his lantern killing someone, or something. I'm curious to know your take on that, unless of course its something that you're saving for the next video.
Mia Powell oh ok, how did i miss that? haha...thanks...but what do u think of that rider with a lantern in the trailer, i just watched it, he was riding a horse, yes, but maybe thats a change from the book adapting his storyline..fingers crossed even if its a long shot
i think it could be coldhands im really hoping it is, but the show has no problem changing up storylines.. i think it also depends on who Benjen is loyal to as to how we will find him or discover what happened to him.. i have a feeling benjen will repeat history (be the new nights king) in a similar way (him being led away by a "beautiful" white walker, Bran the builder (a stark) being the first. i also think both ashara and arthur dayne are alive ashara being Meera and Jojens mother and arthur dayne being the biggest help to john when he makes peace with the new night king, again repeating history..
Mia Powell interesting theory...I think the show has been teasing about the land of always winter but not enough to wrap all that up in 3 remaining seasons...but who knows, bran's return to the show with his new "super power" might be the beginning of satisfying our curiosity about that, i'm one of the sympathizers with white walkers, its not like GRRM to create a 100% evil characters, its not final fantasy. But Arthur and Ashara, I wasn't personally interested in those characters, for no particular reason, but now ur giving me one to pay more attention to them. My far fetched theory, since we're talking about whats beyond the wall, maybe bloodraven is Azor ahai, or the prince that was promised, he is from the line of Egg, his mom is from the north, maybe his is the song of ice and fire, and based on his mysterious actions and agenda, he seems closer to that much more than jon snow in claiming that position...we still have no clue why he went to the night watch, maybe its the most convenient way to meet his destiny...what about jon then? well, he is just a bastard who might be resurrected to divert us from bloodraven so the twist is stronger, a writer's trick. If thats true then GRRM must be laughing at us for 20 years.
+M1 Punk Added to Brandon's so people didn't think I was talking about Bran. Added to Lyanna because many show watchers don't know/remember who she was (from those I talked to). Not added to Benjen because most show watchers remember he's Ned's brother and he was physically in the show. I'm sorry. I was trying to make it easier on non-book readers.
+Annamarie Santos It is stated that coldhands is really old. I think that theory is to simple and everybody wants it to be true. which is a big negative in the World of ice and fire
And side question but do you have any interest in reviewing DC/Marvel animated films/series? There's lots of great stuff on the animation side ( The Killing Joke :D) but you only have so much time in the day, plus season 6 is coming up.
it looks like kylo Ren on that shot with him with John on the wall. what if he has actually made contact with the others incomes are riding up this season to talk with the nights watch?
I believe BenJen has to come back in some form or another. GRRM would not have written him in the story if he would not get back to him to at least let us know what happened. I think he will be with the Wights or others in some form. That is if he is not Coldhands.
+Jovi Levi :3 -- I remember that too. I believe it was someone working for the show and writing notes or questions down for GRRM. She asked if Benjen was Cold Hands and all he wrote was "no". Personally, I think he's either dead or the White Walkers have him for some reason.
I think Ned never tried to legitimize Jon because of his respect for Cat and he seems to be protecting Jon for some reason. The only reasons he would have tried to legitimize him would be the deaths of all his sons and maybe Cat's approval if they couldn't have another child.
Why why why MUST there always be a stark at winterfell we got to know. It can't just be because no one would think you were in control anymore. ITs said AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY to much.
+Slyvanestra there are pro's and cons to that theory personally i think coldhands is a lot older than Benjen. it just seems that we really want it to be so everybody believes it.
+Gerben van Houtum -- I agree with you. The mystery of Benjen's disappearance is something that we want solved. For book readers, Coldhands is a possible answer and easier to believe. The Starks are important to the history of Westeros and not knowing if Benjen is dead or not allows fans to speculate on what the hell happened to him. As a non-book reader who's theorizing his whereabouts and the show not including Coldhands (yet maybe), my only theory on why he wouldn't be Coldhands is that maybe the White Walkers have him for some reason. Plus, GRRM has been asked if he is Coldhands and he answered "no". I'm inclined to believe that he isn't lying and there's more to Benjen and Coldhands' mysteries than what's been stated.
+Steven Portillo Thats what I've been saying for a while too. I think since Benjen has the blood of the first men. He could of been turned over by magic to a whitewalker, but a high ranking one.
+Owen Bollard Yeah what ⬆said. Real easy to come here and point out a theory was wrong after the fact. Where were you 2+ weeks ago? Everyone knows its wrong, you're not smart or special, sorry little snowflake.
I think Benjen should be the next Lord Commander, regardless of how cold his hands are, because he's the hide and seek champ of the North.
+Daniel Ray if you think he is Coldhands I'm sorry to say he's not.
I don't think benjen is cold hands. Remember leaf told bran "they killed him long ago". If Benjen is dead then he would only have been killed recently. Also bran doesn't reconise his voice.
Benjen is too young to be Coldhands.
+Vince Davis Yeah I just think it's a fun theory.
+KDSlaughtermad It seems unlikely but I would like to know his fate, dead, lost, or otherwise. To just have him be MIA for the rest of the story would be a bummer.
I feel like he joined the Night's Watch because Ned told him who Jon is. I can understand Ned not telling Catelyn, but Benjen has just as much right to know as Ned does.
Benjen is hanging out at Chillyways, the restaurant at the End of Winter.
Fortunately, he brought a towel.
+Jeff Ralston lol and yay! TH-cam fixed comments!
+Jeff Ralston I see what you did there.
I love when channels like this say what I literally read off the wiki an hour ago.
You could tell that Jon thought highly of Benjen. I believe that what Benjen meant when speaking of how heavy a price one pays to join the watch is that years after joining he realized he would have liked children.
Aww yeah! I've been waiting for this one. Benjen is just so mysterious. And the reason I think I'm more curious about him than his eldest brother is the fact we got to meet him and see his duel nature (Stark of Winterfell and Brother of the Night's Watch). I really want him to return.
Thanks for the video Rawrist. I always enjoy your videos. They are knowledgeable as can be and entertaining. A nice combination.
+bradwolf07 Thank you :)
Your videos are addicting! Your style is grown in me. Another great ASOIAF channel!
+DIABOLUS Thank you! :)
One of my favorite characters.
Okay, when Benjen shows up again as "Coldhands" he is using a Kasurigama. Were there any mention of brothers of the Night's Watch from Yiti?
Benjen looks just like my next door neighbor, which is pretty cool.
+Lord Dragon You found Benjen!
Rawrist
I thought this video would be perfect for the great reveal!
Good video as always. Benjen Stark, the unsolved mystery of A Song of Ice and Fire. Personally, I've come to feel that Benjen's mystery will never be solved. I don't think we'll ever really know.
+MagusX 84 I've mostly accepted it. Ah, well.
Benjen was the only one honest relative to Jon Snow on the tv series, “Uncle Benjen”
Hey Raw, if you had to marry one of the Baratheon brothers, which one would you choose?
- Robert (drunken fool)
- Stannis (serious and unforgiving)
- Renly (well, you know where his interest lies)
thanks for the summary. the tv show missed out so much details. this alone could've been a great episode for season 1 episode 1 and 2.
I really enjoy your videos. Could you do a video on patchface and his predictions?
Would love to see you cover a Tragedy at Summerhall speculation video. George gives us nothing!
I think that Bloodraven has Benjen Stark, dead but living, so that he (Bloodraven) can wait into his body and leave the heart tree after making Bran the new Last Greenseer.
Think about this: Bloodraven a.k.a. Brynden Rivers has bloodties with the Starks (Benjen's great-grandmother, Bran's great-great grandmother) . They are kin and I believe that this blood connection made his ability to communicate with Bran all the stronger.
Now, I think that Bloodraven, however subtly, motivated Benjen Stark to join the Night's Watch.
Funny the way your logo looks over Harrenhal Castle. As always a pleasure to watch your videos.
+Sergio Diez-de-Medina A dinosaur riding into battle! Thank you!
I think he absolutely is cold hands. And that GRRM was lying to his editor. I don't know why that would be so odd.
s7 benjen theories please. love your vids!
Cool video! I could see GRRM just letting this hang out there forever i.e. we'll never know what happened to Benjin :/
+Dan Trice Me too :/
Benjen where are youuuuuu?!?!?!?
I hope he went around the others and went to their home(s) and is finding out some stuff about the others.
They have buildings, for example the altar thing where the baby got blue eyes.
Or he just died in the snow.
Which is the most realistic.
he's on a mission from bloodraven!!
Rawrist needs to revisit these and do an update video!
Another great video.
:-)
TH-cam bug should be fixed. Hooray!
Sweet looking forward to watching this. question have you seen BvS yet? Sorry for non thrones question.
+William Gunter haha, that's okay. The only time it made me sad was on my Walking Dead review when 70% of the comments were about the new GoT trailer, not my actual review. I did see BvS!
+Rawrist Thanks for reply I look forward to your review of it. also a Martian question have you read Tuff Voyaging? Would love to see your take on that book.
You have such a sexy voice!

scratch that I really want a video on patch face and Cold hands. lol I'm needy. Keep up the great work.
+Vince Davis lol, I have it on my list :)
Great analysis, keep up the good work!

He was honorable like Ned and would not have given Jon favor or even the insinuation of such a thing and would stayed objective I think
Benjen didn’t want to treat Jon different because there are no favorites at the wall.
Thank you for the video!
Excellent video- I know you said there is a future video coming but curious about the speculation as to why Benjen joined the Night's Watch. Seems like Benjen and Ned didn't have that close of a relationship themselves.
+Reef Musallam That video is coming out soon :)
As always great video
Always enjoy watching your videos :)
+Ricey Congratz on your sub achievement!
Thanks so much :D it means the world!
Longer the better, bigger the better, curvier the better. Bring it! :P
What about the theory that Mance is Rhaegar and Benjen went to the wall to keep tabs on him.
Nope because rhaegar had white hair and robert killed him
But a whole battlefield saw Rhaegar die so how jn the world would he be Mance
+piet vink dude it's a joke
Robert Stoneburner O ok. A verry funny one as wel
Could Benjen be one of the two people who knows or suspects who Jon really is? Benjen likely helped his sister at Harrenhal if she was the Knight of the Laughing Tree, and Lyanna would have probably confessed any plans she had to him.

Joke
Glad that was a joke.

i just love the video's you make
Another Great character!
Love your vids
+Mr. MacPhisto Thanks!
I'd add "Ned's Younger Brother" to the title to kinda have it match the other Stark videos.
Sorry, it just irks me a little :p
+M1 Punk Added to Brandon's so people didn't think I was talking about Bran. Added to Lyanna because many show watchers don't know/remember who she was (from those I talked to). Not added to Benjen because most show watchers remember he's Ned's brother and he was physically in the show. I'm sorry. I was trying to make it easier on non-book readers.
Ah, Benjen. Maybe he has just disappeared and his fate will never be known. It does happen.
+Sybille Stahl After all, one does not simply walk into the Land of Always Winter.
Then again, GRRM wouldn't do something so boring.
why do the sparrows in kings landing only have a 6 pointed star?
Nice Video..hmm..might he be Coldhands? He just disappeared.
+Annamarie Santos It is stated that coldhands is really old. I think that theory is to simple and everybody wants it to be true. which is a big negative in the World of ice and fire
GRRM has confirmed that Benjen *isn't* Coldhands.
I think Benjen is alive because RR would show the audience his death
+ZegetaX1 There have been quite a few deaths that are not shown to the readers that are later comfirmed.
Gerben van Houtum Oh I never knew that I get most to all my information from the show
And side question but do you have any interest in reviewing DC/Marvel animated films/series? There's lots of great stuff on the animation side ( The Killing Joke :D) but you only have so much time in the day, plus season 6 is coming up.
+Daniel Ray I would in the future. Right now my schedule is brutal though.
Do you think if Benjen does show back up that Ned might have told him the Secret about Jons Mother???
Am I the only one here to believe that 'Coldhands" will be represented in a certain way by Benjen in the tv show ?
it looks like kylo Ren on that shot with him with John on the wall. what if he has actually made contact with the others incomes are riding up this season to talk with the nights watch?
+grayking2012 Lol....and I can't unsee it.
Rawrist do you think we'll see him again in the show?
+Chris Ceren Probably not but a girl can hope
+Rawrist :(
was benjen not fostered anywhere
Uncle Ben!
Can't be watching Rawrist's videos and not be able to leave a comment ;-)
+David Nowak And you can! Hooray!
Coldhands you mean..
Where do all Benjens go?
XD XD
What are the odds of a third son doing anything? The Nights Watch doesn’t consider birth order
Benjen is with the Dufrenes. RIP Mitch Hedberg
The missing stark
Now after benjen. Will the mother be next?
+The Garden of E sim 117 There isn't enough to make a video on her. :(
Benjen is going to be in the battle of the bastards and die there.
I believe BenJen has to come back in some form or another. GRRM would not have written him in the story if he would not get back to him to at least let us know what happened.
I think he will be with the Wights or others in some form. That is if he is not Coldhands.
GRRM has confirmed that Benjen *isn't* Coldhands. Sorry to burst your tinfoil bubble.
+Jovi Levi :3 -- I remember that too. I believe it was someone working for the show and writing notes or questions down for GRRM. She asked if Benjen was Cold Hands and all he wrote was "no".
Personally, I think he's either dead or the White Walkers have him for some reason.
+Jovi Levi :3 no worry. I am no major theorist.
Oh reading the old comments is amusing lol
it always buged me that ned never made John a stark i mean roos Bolton made ramsy a lord RAMSY
+Lewis Evans Do you think that maybe drawing attention to Jon was about the last thing Ned wanted to do?
I think Ned never tried to legitimize Jon because of his respect for Cat and he seems to be protecting Jon for some reason. The only reasons he would have tried to legitimize him would be the deaths of all his sons and maybe Cat's approval if they couldn't have another child.
Why why why MUST there always be a stark at winterfell we got to know. It can't just be because no one would think you were in control anymore. ITs said AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY to much.
It really seems likely that Benjen is Coldhands.
+Slyvanestra there are pro's and cons to that theory personally i think coldhands is a lot older than Benjen. it just seems that we really want it to be so everybody believes it.
+Gerben van Houtum -- I agree with you. The mystery of Benjen's disappearance is something that we want solved. For book readers, Coldhands is a possible answer and easier to believe. The Starks are important to the history of Westeros and not knowing if Benjen is dead or not allows fans to speculate on what the hell happened to him.
As a non-book reader who's theorizing his whereabouts and the show not including Coldhands (yet maybe), my only theory on why he wouldn't be Coldhands is that maybe the White Walkers have him for some reason.
Plus, GRRM has been asked if he is Coldhands and he answered "no". I'm inclined to believe that he isn't lying and there's more to Benjen and Coldhands' mysteries than what's been stated.
Rawrist-Longer is more better
I think Benjen knows about Jon
why couldnt G.R.R.M just make him coldhands like we all want.
+Anthony Lankford Because George wants us all to be miserable wretches.
+Jeff Ralston This guy gets it! :P
I believe Benjen is in the North Grove. anyone?
While telltale's game is canon, i don't think any of the families, events or locations will be featured in the show
Always thought benjen was very attractive
Benjen is the Nights King, oh spoiler alert...
+Steven Portillo Thats what I've been saying for a while too. I think since Benjen has the blood of the first men. He could of been turned over by magic to a whitewalker, but a high ranking one.
well you were wrong...
