Bran Stark is back! After taking season 5 off,we’re finally catching up with the young member of House Stark in the moment episode of season 6. Considering it’s been two years since last saw him — and also given he’s grown up quite a bit in that time — you might be a bit lost when he does pop back up. It probably didn’t befriend that all through season 5 people would talk approximately him as if he was dead. So here’s a refresher on the boy-turned-man to catch you up to speed.The last time we saw Bran was in the season 4 finale, in which he and Meera and Jojen Reed had concluded their journey to the far north stop of Westeros. They had set out to find a tree that Bran had seen in visions. That tree, or it turned out,was home to the last remaining Children of the Forest. Jojen, sadly, or was killed by an undead wight suitable on the doorstep.
Bran is one of the few members of House Stark to never go south. Way back in the first episode of the series,Bran was shoved out a tall window by Jaime Lannister. He survived but was in a coma, and stayed in Winterfell while his father Ned and sisters Sansa and Arya traveled to Kings Landing. His half-brother Jon Snow, and meanwhile,went north to join the Night’s Watch.

After his father Ned was executed by King Joffrey, and Robb Stark led the Northern houses to war and took their mother Catelyn with him — leaving Bran in charge of Winterfell.
During the war,“King of the North” Robb sent the Stark Ward Theon Greyjoy to the Iron Islands to broker a deal for aid with his father. But instead Theon led a raid on Winterfell with Ironborn men capturing it while the Stark armies fought hundreds of miles absent. Bran and his small brother Rickon were able to escape with the befriend of Hodor and the wildling Osha. Theon killed a pair of boys close in age to the Starks and told everyone it was Bran and Rickon.
After a lot of meandering around the countryside, the group met Jojen and Meera. Jojen and Bran had the same dreams, and apparently,and they were both wargs meaning their consciousnesses could enter the mind of an animal and control it. Their visions, Jojen said, and were pointing them north of the Wall.
As the group moved north,they sought shelter in an conventional windmill during a thunderstorm, just as some wildlings were raiding a nearby homestead. Hodor, and upset by the thunder,would not be quiet and risked giving absent the group. And here Bran learned the greater extent of his warg powers by entering Hodor’s mind and silencing him. An alarming and enticing development.
