He’s north of the wall in the first episode of season 1. He comes back again in the final season.

In ASOIAF he comes back a lot earlier. He helped Samwell Tarly and his wildling girlfriend get to the Wall when they were North.

Yes sorry your right. I forgot that. It's been a while since I read them and the show had a habit of blending multiple characters into one e.g Sansa/Jeyne. It's quite possible that Coldhands isn't Benjen.

My mistake.

There is a good chance they are, but we don't know that yet bookwise.

I didn't find your comment curt at all, by the way.
