Osha later tells Maester Luwin that they were fleeing the awakening of an old, remorseless foe, the White Walkers, indicating that the wildlings are already aware of the threat of the Walkers and may already be fighting them. They reject the notion, which is rendered moot when Robb Stark and Theon Greyjoy arrive. When Osha, Stiv and Wallen - deserters from Rayder's army - inadvertently imprison Bran Stark, they debate taking him back to Mance Rayder to win forgiveness. Ser Alliser Thorne names Mance Rayder as the leader of the wildlings beyond the Wall and indicates he has held this post for more than ten years.

The title and position are not hereditary. Most of the time, the wildlings are nowhere near united.
Uniting all of the wildlings is only possible with a very intelligent leader of impressive military skill and personal charisma. Uniting the fractious and independently-minded tribes - who often have radically different traditions, customs and laws from one another, speak different languages, and are always after each other's throats - into a single force is extremely difficult if not downright impossible. The King-Beyond-the-Wall is a title given to a Free Folk leader or chieftain who manages to unite a significant number of the northern tribes under his command, enough to pose a threat to the Seven Kingdoms south of the Wall. 'Cause that's the truth." ―King-Beyond-the-Wall Mance Rayder I told them we were all going to die if we don't get south. So, you know how I got moon-worshipers and cannibals and giants to march together in the same army?. The Thenns hate the Hornfoots, the Hornfoots hate the Ice-river clans, everyone hates the cave people.
