'Game of Thrones' Season 8: Why the White Walkers are victims rather than evil
'Game of Thrones' is by far one of the most successful books ever converted to a live-action series, maybe alongside 'Lord of the Rings' (I feel the hate mail populating my inbox already).
The fantasy epic has enjoyed a successful, award-winning run on TV for the past seven years, and most of us may not know what to do with our lives once the series ends in April this year.
The series has introduced us to a whole host of lovable, hateable, and sometimes eerily relatable characters across its seven season run till date, including the White Walkers.
These frigid characters were believed to be just myths by the people of South Westeros, until they tore through the Ice Wall and killed many a (arguably) fine warrior.
The White Walkers were created through the use of untested magic by the Children of the Forest in order to protect themselves from the barrage of human invasions that were plaguing their lands.
But their creations turned on them as well.
