Rognvaldr

Rognvaldr arrives as a Viking warlord with his eyes on Ceaster, a man used to taking what he wants by force rather than argument. Kin to Sigtryggr, he carries himself with the easy confidence of someone who has never had to answer to anyone, and treats negotiation as a formality before violence.

Micki Stoltt plays him with a swagger that never tips into cartoonish villainy — there's real menace in how casually he assumes control of a room. The show uses him to sharpen the political stakes around Ceaster, and his bluntness makes every scene he's in feel like it could turn violent without warning.
