Characters with no challenge icons?

By Pope1777, in 2. AGoT Rules Discussion

Hi all.

Just got my first chapter pack (Wolves of the North) and have noticed that there are characters with no challenge icons present on the card. I've not come across this before, what can I do with them?

Above link is an example.

I'm baffled. Couldn't find any rules or FAQ about it. Plus the seach forum button is not working.

Thanks guys.

Many of the Night's Watch characters in the Defenders of the North cycle do not have icons. They can gain icons if you run one or more of the three special Night's Watch agendas that are available in the cycle ( The Builders from A Sword in the Darkness, The Stewards from A King in the North and The Rangers from Wolves of the North). Even without the Agendas, you can utilize those characters in combination with The Wall from Return of the Others. Outside a deck specifically built around the Night's Watch theme, most of those characters will be useless, though.

Thanks for your clear answer!
