It's been long since we last watched Bran and the Three-Eyed Raven after escaping the dead with the help of Children of the Forest. We know this season, season six, they will be back with much more story to tell than before and revelations are assured.
Possible spoilers.
In season 4 we finally found out who the Three Eyed Raven was - An old man who is a kind of wrapped around the roots of a Weirdwood tree. He is mysterious, from the beginning of the season to till now we know not much about him in the series.
Questions arises, who is he? Is he a God? Another sorcerer? If he was a sorcerer then who he was before he became the three-eyed raven far north of the wall under a Weirdwood tree.
The TV series hasn't answered much, but the books has. And according to the books, The Three-Eyed Raven is actually Three-Eyed Crow, resembling him as a member of the Nights Watch. So here's more about him, but do note that these facts are taken from the books, and the season six is going against the waves, it takes its own turn, not going with the books anymore, or must I say even less!
But changing the back-story of the the Three-Eyed Raven would be a difficult Job, it is not the same as ending up Sansa with the Boltons for the horror and torture scenes. This is in fact a very crucial foundation of the stories to come.
Here's a picture of Bran with The Three Eyed Raven in the season six (picture released by HBO)
This picture is from one of the episodes in the season six, the episode is yet to air, but this picture serves as a great hint of what's next in store for the story of Bran. In the books Three-Eyed Crow (Raven in the series) is actually Brynden Rivers, born 175 AC, a great bastard of Aegon IV Targaryen. He was born about 120 years before the current events, so he is old, very old.
Maester Aemon was the son of Brynden Rivers' brother Daeron II Targaryen.
Makes sense? Yes. In the series we watched him say the very same words that were used by people for Brynden Rivers in his times - "A thousand eyes, and one".
Brynden was also the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, and his death was never confirmed, he went north of the wall as a ranger and never came back, probably that's how he ended up under the weirdwood tree with all his eyes to look over Westeros and teach capable beings like Bran things that's important for the well-being of others.
We are of course going to be really interested in Bran's story as it is how we might probably get to see what really happened at the Tower of Joy during Rober's Rebellion and much more.

"Lord Bloodraven", Brynden was rumored to be a sinister sorcerer who effectively ruled the kingdom "with spies and spells". A popular riddle asked was, "How many eyes does Lord Bloodraven have? A thousand eyes, and one".[8] The song "A Thousand Eyes, and One" was written about Brynden.
