Azor Ahai (SEASON FIVE FINALE SPOILERS)

[Shorty]

When was this Azor Ahai guy mentioned? I don't remember it at all.

Azor Ahai is (or was) often mentioned by Melisandre and was a legendary hero who is said to be reborn again as a champion sent by R'hllor. Melisandre touts that Stannis is this person embodied, but there have been visible doubts about whether or not this is true.

Since she abandoned Stannis as he went to war, I think we can speculate that she is not resurrecting him.

I think he's Azor Ahai. I never understood why Mel thought Stannis was.

Ygritte could definitely be Nissa Nissa. He sacrificed love for duty instead.

Dunno what's salty about him, though.

Here's what it says about Jon in the wiki theories:

• Jon's wounds smoke while Bowen Marsh cries, providing the prophecised salt, and Ser Patrek's bloody, star laden heraldry is in the air above
• When Melisandre looks into her fires for Azor Ahai, she sees only things to do with Jon or snow, which he thinks must just be ash but she sees a possible connection to Jon.
• Jon Snow has a dream where he fights the Others with a red sword burning in his hand.
• book spoilers and theories on Jon's descendanceIf having the Blood of the Dragon is a prerequisite, if Jon's father is truly Rhaegar, Jon would satisfy that prerequisite. He would be the grandson of Aerys and Rhaella and thus come from their line.
• Jon chose his duty to the Night's Watch over his love for Ygritte. He indirectly caused her death by warning Castle Black of the incoming wildling raid. Similar to Azor Ahai sacrificing Nissa Nissa to complete Lightbringer.
