Asbjörn is the leader of the last free Vikings. They refuse to recognise the rule of King Schönhaar, who once had Asbjörn's father and clan leader Egill brutally murdered. Banished by the king, Asbjörn leaves his homeland Thule with a few allies in order to buy himself out of the Bann with gold. Still young, he has to prove his strength of leadership not only to outside enemies but to his own men, too.

„Asbjörn is the leader of the Vikings. His father was a loved and respected clan leader who was murdered on the king's orders. In order to assume leadership Asbjörn must step out of his father's shadow, but not all the Vikings accept him. Because while his father murdered and plundered his way to victory, Asbjörn prefers to take a more understanding and diplomatic approach." – Tom Hopper

Thorald is the oldest friend of Asbjorn, the leader of the Viking group. They grew up together and have already shared many victories in battle side by side under Egill's leadership. Thorald is an excellent archer who can also bear up in close combat. Together with Gunnar, the oldest warrior in the group, he forms the core of Asbjörn's group.

„Thorald is the only archer in the Vikings' group. He uses an old, forgotten technique by which he can shoot the next arrow while the one he has just shot is still in the air. In this way he can already eliminate his enemies from a distance. He is his leader Asbjörn's most faithful friend and is so loyal that he would give his life at any time.” – Ken Duken

Gunnar, with his mighty battleaxe, is one of the most feared Northmen of all. The fearless berserker goes into battle with the battle cry of “Walhalla!”, and there is no opponent he will not face with determination. His drinking songs are as legendary as his thirst for mead and his dislike of Christians.

„Gunnar is the oldest warrior in the group. He has already fought alongside Asbjörn’s father. The Vikings are like a motorcycle club and Gunnar is like one of the founding members. He is simple, likes drinking, likes fighting and likes chasing women. He follows orders without thinking too much about them. But he is like an uncle and protector to the leader of the Viking group, Asbjörn, whom he has known since he was born.” – Darrell D’Silva

The two brothers, Bjorn and Valli, have joined Asbjörn, the leader of the stranded Viking group, in the fight against King Harald Schönhaar. Bjorn had already taken part in many raids beforehand, while Valli went into service as a smith. Although Valli stands head and shoulders above his brother, he is the younger of the two – and his brother never stops reminding him of it.

„Bjorn is a stroke of luck for the stranded Vikings because he has already been to Scotland. He knows the people and the language they speak in this hostile country. But scarcely have they arrived than Bjorn is severely wounded and becomes a burden to his comrades, whose journey is slowed down by the injured man.” – James Norton

As a "Hird", Jorund was an elite warrior under King Harald Schönhaar. After the bloody battle of Hafrsfjord Jorund turned against his king and fought at the side of Asbjörn’s father Egill from then on. Despite his non-stop complaining he is a reliable fighter with an unerring feeling for where treasures can be found.

„Jorund was once one of King Harald’s bodyguards but then resisted his order to kill and plunder his way through the country. When escaping he joined Asbjörn’s father. Jorund finds it difficult to accept Asbjörn as the new leader after his father dies. Jorund is a quick and nimble fighter who prefers the dagger to the sword. Unlike the other Vikings he does not believe in an afterlife in Walhalla. Falling in battle is not an honour for him but merely the bitter end.” – Leo Gregory

Grim is the youngest in Asbjörn’s group. He makes up for his inexperience in battle by the perfect teamwork with Haldor when they face their opponents back to back.

„Grim is the youngest in the group and stays in the background. He is not a typical Viking, but questions everything. Although he believes in Walhalla, he wants to stay alive as long as possible. He is a quick and agile swordsman and tries to emulate his leader Asbjörn“. – Mark Strepan

Hjorr is the leader of the Wolf Pack, a nefarious group of mercenaries that knows no mercy and has now decided to hunt down Asbjörn's Vikings. Like his older brother Bovarr, Hjorr originally comes from the Carpathians and with his men helped King Dunchaid to attain power. His unpredictable manner makes him feared even amongst his own people; only Bovarr dares to stand up to him.

„Hjorr is Bovarr's younger brother. At the age of three he had to see Vikings raping and killing his mother and beating his father to death. Hjorr has not been able to deal with this trauma even as an adult. He only trusts his brother, who is a tactician and strategist. Hjorr, on the other hand, is an aggressive, brutal and impulsive lieutenant." – Ed Skrein

Bovarr is Hjorr's older brother; he tries to smooth down his impulsiveness. He uses his hunting falcons to make sure he knows where the enemy is lurking at all times. Despite his calmer nature, Bovarr is feared no less than his brother because he also only knows victory or death.

„Bovarr is a fearless mercenary from the Carpathians and leads the wolves with his younger brother Hjorr. King Dunchaid has hired the group to hunt down the Vikings. It is also a personal revenge campaign for Bovarr. As a child he had to look on while Vikings brutally slew his parents. Since then, Bovarr has been protecting his brother Hjorr, who is five years his junior. While Hjorr is a restless, angry fighter who uses raw violence, Bovarr is a strategist who thinks before acting." – Anatole Taubman

Conall is a Christian monk who once came to Alba in order to convert the wild tribe of the Picts. When the Scottish King Dunchaid invited the Picts to a meeting, Conall acted as arbitrator - without realising that he was leading the Pictish leaders into a deadly trap. After the massacre the surviving Picts were enslaved and Conall retreated to the ruins of a tower and became a hermit in order to pay penance. Despite his willingness to help and his faith he is a merciless warrior who uses his iron-clad fighting stick swiftly and with deadly precision when he has to.

„When Conall is meditating at a lake, the Vikings stumble upon him. They do not take the Christian monk, who outwardly seems very peaceful and spiritual, seriously. But that changes when Conall skilfully eliminates several attackers. There is a warrior lurking inside the secretive monk. He helps the Vikings to treat the wounded Bjorn and joins the group on their journey through the enemy land." – Ryan Kwanten

Lady Inghean is the only child of King Dunchaid, who wants to marry her to clan lord Murdill against her will in order to secure his power. Inghean's striving for justice at the court of her father led to her being sent off to a convent in the south of the country. She is connected to her homeland in a mystical way; this connection gives her visions that are not always what they seem at first glance. After she discovers that her father would rather see her dead than in the hands of her enemies, she decides to fight on the side of the Vikings.

„Inghean is not a typical princess. She runs away from her father, the King of Scotland, and falls into the hands of the Vikings. But they quickly notice that they have not done themselves any favours with this hostage. Inghean was born in the wrong century. She doesn’t want to be dependent on men." – Charlie Murphy
