Bran Stark, AKA The Three-Eyed Raven, has power and mystery that gives George R.R. Martin endless possibilities to play with. Fans have been going through his visions of the past on the show, and every detail in the books, and through the history of the realm, hypothesizing what he might have taken part in.
Show-runners David Benioff and D.B Weiss have arguably kept the mission of the Three-Eyed Raven vague, leaving many fans disappointed with the final result.
Well now with George R.R. Martin's conclusive book being delayed to 2021, die-hard fans are left to their inquisitive nature, and what better way to do that than by compiling a bunch of evidence on perhaps one of the most fun characters of the show. Some of these have credible evidence that could prove them true, while others are weak but popular nevertheless.
Let us now examine Bran Stark, a character that brings up so many emotions in viewers, and none in himself.
Spoilers are coming, so be forewarned.
15 Bran Is The Prince That Was Promised, And The Night King's Ancient Enemy
Multiple pieces of evidence are at play here: Night King actor Vladimir Furdik said in an interview that his character "has a target he wants to kill, and you will find out who that is." Jojen Reed told Bran there's "only one thing that matters, you!" Benjen Stark told Bran "one way or another, he will find his way to the world of men, and when he does, you will be there waiting for him." When the Night King touches Bran, the Three Eyed Raven tells him "he touched you! He knows you're here! He'll come for you!" So he's after Bran, his ancient enemy.
14 Bran Is The One Who Ended The 300-Year Targaryen Dynasty
Remember that scene where Jamie Lannister and Robert Baratheon were talking about the Mad King? Jamie claims that he kept shouting "burn them all!" even after stabbing him... so the theory suggests that Bran gave the Mad King a vision of the future, in which the White Walkers are marching south, and this drove the once good king Aerys mad.
13 Bran Stark's Vision Of Jon Snow's Parentage Is Incomplete
The theory suggests that the vision Bran saw didn't show Bran the complete truth, and drove him to jump to a premature conclusion. There is also another character in the books called Young Gruff who claims to be Aegon son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Elia Martell, this character was supposedly smuggled as a baby by Varys out of the Red Keep and replaced him with another baby.
12 Bran Warged Into Daenerys To Drive Her Mad
Bran's controversial relationship with the Night King has driven many to doubt his motives, which were never actually revealed in the show. So many are theorizing that Bran warged into Daenerys Targaryen or even Drogon before burning down King's Landing. Why did Bran want this? there could be many reasons.
11 Bran Stark Is The Night King
They both have green sight and the ability to warg. The Three Eyed Raven told Bran in Season 4 "You will never walk again, but you will fly," which many thought meant that Bran would warg into a dragon and fly into battle. The most distinct theory is that Bran traveled back in time to try and stop the children of the forest from hailing the Night King, but instead is captured and made himself into the Night King.
10 Bran Was Secretly Conspiring To Become King Since Season 4
Bran is an evil, manipulative mastermind who warged into Dany or Drogon to steal her place as king of the realm. He's suddenly content with being called Bran The Broken instead of The Three Eyed Raven. He was aware that he inflicted the whole Dany and Jon drama, only to make circumstances flow in his advantage.

8 Bran Was Actually Changing Specific Events In The Battle Of Winterfell
Ever since we saw Hodor hold that door, the truth was revealed about Bran's interference in the past and warging, so people think that he was doing something similar when the white walkers and their army were attacking Winterfell, going back in time to manipulate certain events and make sure everything goes his way, exactly as he wished. There's not nearly enough evidence to back this, but it is rather interesting to imagine.
7 Bran Built The Wall
Brandon The Builder is known to have built the Wall by using the Giants and the Children of The Forest, who also happen to be his friend in the show.
Bran the Builder is also described in the books as a young boy who helped kings design their castles, and bonus content from the HBO series shows him being carried around, so all the similarities make this theory feasible? Maybe.
6 The White Walkers Are Actually Good ... Because Bran Is Evil
The Night King is cursed, and all he can do is spread death to stop the source of magic that is keeping him cursed. This is why the army of the dead completely changes track when the Night King tracks Bran down, because the Three Eyed Raven is the holder of the curse, and killing him would mean the end of it all.
