Characters of Vinland Saga, Season 2
Season 1 has the following main characters that engage the audience. According to the director of the Vinland manga series, season 2 has some of the same stories as in season 1.
Thorfinn:
Thorfinn is one of the main characters; Young Thorfinn grew up listening to the tales of old sailors who had traveled the ocean and reached the place of legend, Vinland. A warm and fertile place where there would be no need for fighting. He has superb physical talent that is inherited from his father. In the series, he presents himself as a skillful fighter.
Askeladd:
Ten years before the storyline of the Vinland Saga, Askeladd committed Thor’s assassination. After some events, he manipulates his desire to take revenge on his father. Askeladd’s father’s name is Viking Olaf, and he is the son of a slave woman whom he treats badly. He gets the name Lucius Artorius Castus from his mother and gets the nickname Askeladd, which means “covered in ash,” at an early age; he works for a blacksmith.
Thors:
Thors Stellar is the father of Thorfinn, a Jomsviking who has expertise regarding war. After childbirth, he wants to have a peaceful life with his family. So in the Battle of Hjörungavágr, he pose that he had died. Thors becomes a pacifist farmer and moves somewhere with his family secretly. Later on, Jomsvikings discovers him alive and forces him to come back to the battlefield. He is betrayed by Askeladd on his way. Thors demonstrates as the greatest fighter throughout the whole series until he dies.
Canute:
17-year-old Kenshō is playing the role of Prince of the Danes. In the beginning, he is portrayed as timid and womanly. His womanly traits cause mockery among the Vikings with whom he works. He has a strong faith in Christianity. He is nothing without his retainer, Ragnar. After Ragnar’s death, his personality transforms to become strong and he sets his heart on creating a utopia on earth. His character is indicated in a series of historical books by King Canute the Great, who was the Danish ruler of England.
Is Vinland Saga based on a true story?
The year is 1013 after the Common Era (AD), and the location is England. The Danish king has already conquered England, but he has become elderly and is going to pass away. As was typical of medieval rulers, his two sons, Harald and Cnut, are vying for his succession in order to become the future kings of Denmark and England. This is the historical context in which Vinland Saga develops and from which it draws inspiration. The manga depicts several aspects of the historical invasion of England.
