* ArchEnemy: For all of Westeros, humanity, the children of the forest, the Wildlings, the Night's Watch, Bran Stark, Jon Snow, and Daenerys Targaryen after he kills one of her dragons. The battle of Hardhome cements the great enmity between Jon Snow and him, since Jon discovers how to kill White Walkers right under the Night King's eyes. The two of them then exchange {{Death Glare}}s as Jon escapes the place and the Night King raises the fallen Wildlings of Hardhome in undeath as a demonstration of his power.
** Bran notes that the Night King and the Three-Eyed Raven are this: the Night King wishes to eradicate all memory of the world of Men, and as the Three-Eyed Raven possesses all memory of the world, the Night King wants him dead more than any other.

* NothingIsScarier: Given his nature and silence, it's unclear whether he's a psychopathic WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds who's embittered by his fate, or a HumanoidAbomination who literally doesn't think and feel with thought processes that a human brain can understand. The writers and Vladimir Furdik likewise have differing opinions on whether the Night King is motivated by revenge or by doing what he was created to do.
