It looks like the protagonist is Torfin, but in fact the real protagonist of this season is Asherath.
This whole season Tolfen has lived in the hatred of revenge for his father Thors. At present, it seems that the growth is the gradual increase of the force value, but it is still very impulsive in nature. The last episode finally changed from the initial obsession with hatred to the After Asherat dies, let go of his hatred (and what I want to say is that Asherat is only a money-maker, and Floki is the real father-killer). Fate played tricks on Torfin, his beloved father Thors was a pacifist, but Torfin killed a lot of people in order to avenge his father's death. If there is a next season, we will see more of his transformation.
As for this season's real protagonist, Asherat, it's easy to think at the beginning that he's a real and pure villain who does nothing but robbery. Later, I could gradually see his ideals and beliefs, and decisively chose to support Knut, who was weak and unloved at the time. Not everyone can do it, and later kill Ragu, who is comparable to Knut's father. Gnar, who resolutely admitted later, had to say that he was really brave and resourceful. In the end, in the face of King Swain's persecution about choosing Knut or Wales (it can only be said that Wales is really his weakness, and the self-made Asherath has revealed flaws that can be seen by others), hard She has squeezed out a road that others dare not think of, and died calmly. Dare to take this road can be regarded as trust in Knut, and I believe that Knut will not regret it.
How to say, Asherat's life can be regarded as a tragedy. Although his father was from a good background, it is a pity that he was born of a slave girl. Before the age of eleven, he was not a young master, but he was prepared for hardships. At one time, he believed that a god would come down to save him. I myself, but finally realized that there is no savior in this world, everything has to rely on myself. Wisdom, talent, and humiliation ended up killing his father, and after doing it all, he didn't raise suspicion. But even if Asherat has all kinds of ambitions and ideals, he is still a Viking, so it is difficult to find a way to truly achieve his ideals, which is probably the reason why he is willing to sacrifice his life for Knut in the end .
If there is a next season, it will focus more on Torfin, and I believe Torfin will usher in real growth.
