Ragnar

Ragnar (played by Mikkel Bratt Silset) is a side character in the "Vikingane"/"Norsemen" TV-Series. He is a young Viking warrior from the town of Norheim and the older warrior Viljar (played by Mads Jørgensen) is one of his best friends to hang out with in Season 1.


 * He and Viljar wear their hair very short and even shaven at the back of their head to show tattoos there. The same hair style can be seen on some of the warriors in the History Channel Show "Vikings".


 * Ragnar is a great fan of tattoos and sees his body as a living canvas. He likes to get a new tattoo for every time he had sex, although "having sex" also includes every time he had "polished his sword".


 * When all are preparing for a new raid, he appears with a Viking helmet, which has ridiculously huge horns and Arvid and Frøya scoff at it. This is clearly a reference to the very common assumption, that Vikings wore horned helmets in war, although that was not the case.


 * He has an ongoing argument with the arrogant slave Rufus of Rome and even took his embroidered cape, but had to take it back, when Sturla Bonecrusher was working for Rufus.

Episodes
Ragnar appears in all three seasons of the show.
