This guy had a different look to him than the wights or white walkers we have seen, and he apparently has the power to create the White Walkers. Not sure if he is supposed to be the Great Other that Melisandre refers to, or if he is the Night King as HBO indicated in its website before taking it down. But I do think he is different somehow from the wights and the white walkers, he certainly looks different.

**** me. You're right. The wights are humans brought back, but maybe that is why those decaying bodies and horses appear the way they did; because they were brought back from the dead. All I know is that prologue showed a much different creature than what we have come to know as white walkers. These characters resemble what we were originally shown.
