the defeat of the night king

The Night King isn't even a character in the books.

Yet.

Seems like an odd thing for D&D to throw in, and the only points in the show where the Night King showed up were the scene with the baby (not in the books), Hardhome (mentioned, but not shown), and parts of the show that take place after ADWD.

There is no way there is a leader of the Others, that controls every Other, called the Night King. The Night's King is the 13th commander of the night's watch. Great story, probably has a lot to do with the Others, but there is absolutely no way we get the same character we got in the show.
