Alferic

Alferic is introduced within the political and military world of The Last Kingdom, a figure whose loyalties and ambitions surface amid the shifting alliances of Wessex and the wider Saxon kingdoms. He carries himself with the guarded calculation of a man navigating dangerous company, watchful rather than open about his intentions.

Joseph Millson brings a controlled, watchful energy to a court thick with rivals, letting small hesitations and glances do the work of exposition. In a series built on shifting allegiances, that restraint keeps Alferic interesting to watch even in scenes where he says very little.
