The Night King. Turns out he's actually the good guy; once he rules, the Seven Kingdoms will be at peace due to the terror he inspires. His true motivation the entire time has been to end war -- warring between the Children and First Men (the reason the Walkers retreated to Everwinter is because those two factions declared a truce), and now between the kingdoms of Westeros. Mankind cannot be left to its own devices, lest it descend into madness (GRRM's ending theme of the series).
Now that would be an interesting ending but alas don't know that Martin would really take it there.
