Ingilmundr

Ingilmundr arrives in Edward's court as a striking young Norse warrior with easy charm and sharper ambition. He fights well, speaks well, and quickly makes himself indispensable to the king, positioning himself close to power with a smile that gives away nothing about what he actually wants.

Laurie Davidson plays him with a magnetic, faintly dangerous warmth — you understand exactly why Edward is drawn to him even as you watch him work the room. The character is a study in charisma as strategy, and the performance keeps you guessing how much of the smile is real.
