How A Targaryen Prince Became the Three-Eyed Raven (Game of Thrones)

The Three Eyed Raven's real name is Brynden Rivers, and he’s the Bastard son of a Targaryen King, Aegon the 4th, one of the worst kings to ever rule. He was such a bad king he was nicknamed Aegon the Unworthy. Brynden also went by the name Bloodraven.

It should be noted Bloodraven is actually called the Three-Eyed Crow in the books. I don't know why they changed it. As for his age, something Aemon said makes me wonder, "Fire consumes, but cold preserves", hinting he lived so long because he lived in the far north for some reason. I wonder if it was the same for Bloodraven.

Another great video. I think the brilliance of GRRM’s writing is that he can take characters like Jojen and the Three-eyed Raven, and make you doubt their motives, even though they are individuals who probably sacrificed the most in an effort to win the Great War. For example, as Brynden Rivers, Three-eyed Raven has a history of using his martial, magical and intellectual talents to support the Targaryen line, and doing what is best for the Realm. Rivers also had Targaryen and First men blood (a Blackwood). I think his motives and Jojen’s motives are to show Bran, Sam and important the people who matter that Jon has an important role to play for humans to win the Great War. They know that role and they know how the story ends, but they do not want to disturb history by telling the players how their story ends.

I have a theory anout peter baelish . Is it poasible since he had his duel with brandon and nearly died that bloodraven has been manipulating him in his dreams . Baelish always seems one step ahead and for some reason av got a feeling hes taking orders from someone. Bran and jojen didnt get dreams about bloodraven until they had near death experience. I think bloodravem has been pulling the strings and sending baelish dreams to set all the events in motion maybe showing baelish he will be long if he follows bloodravens instructions but really is just a pawn in the bigger game between the three eyed raven and the others

So... The rumors were he could turn into animals and that animals spoke to him but there's no proof that he had the sight before he left the wall? Sounds to me that he was using the sight to warf into animals to spy. Which would explain why he could be anywhere and know anything. What if he left the wall and got injured but they found him, recognized his gifts, planted him into the tree to keep him alive? Just my thoughts.

We can be sure that the show Three-Eyed Raven, who was said to be a thousand years old, doesn't have the book backstory and is not Bloodraven. I guess he's just some incredibly old guy whose backstory is unimportant on the show (especially since they got rid of (f)Aegon and the Blackfyre backstory).

In the context of the show, how would they do the back story? Its sub plot that doesn't bring much to the much condensed narrative of the TV show, in major story arc its bran becoming three eyed raven that's significant, not the predecessors back story Back stories like that are the fodder of spoon offs or movies, which will happen, to rich a tapestry of back story and folklore , the money men will flog it to death until its ruined

As a child I used to have dreams about old people who lived in a cave and grew with the roots of trees, much like this character. I would go in and feed them with branches. The difference though is that the cave I went to in my dream had sunlight coming in and the feeling in there was bliss and I was convinced the old people in the roots were perfectly good. It struck me like crazy when I saw this character in Game of Thrones. Does anyone have theories of the symbolics of old people growing in tree roots? I thought it was just my dream but now I think it's something more archetypal. Btw, I was something like a stone age person in the dreams. I lived with my family in the forest and when I got a glimpse of modernity it scared me.

Question is how the Children of the Forest procreate. Maybe they are the souls of the dead who use the weirwoods as a cocoon over centuries and eventually become new children of the forest. Dragonglas being touched by Dragonfire may be a "Breath of Life" used to create white Walkers. They detached them from the endless cycle of life and death. Death is the first enemy and the last. --> Reincarnation à la GoT. That would be the Song of ice (death) and fire(life)

They reproduce like humans do, but probably less often to avoid overpopulation, since they live so long. They are compatible with humans though, cause they interbred with the first men. The greenseer and skinchanger genes come from them originally. Sadly, their population dwindled so low after they were driven north and the survivors are so old, they are going extinct.
