Per GRRM: “In the books he is a legendary figure, akin to Lann the Clever and Brandon the Builder,” Martin writes on his Not-A-Blog, “And no more likely to have survived to the present day than they have.”

The Night's King, who was the 13th Lord Commander, married a white walker. He is definitely not the same as the Night King from north of the wall that we saw get turned into what he is now. At least such a thing hasn't been revealed yet though I guess it could be that way.
This link helps explain it.
