Plot & Storyline Till Season 1:
Thorfinn is the main protagonist of the anime. Some say it is loosely based on the life on explorer Thorfinn Karlsefni. When Thorfinn was a child he was a cheerful and joyful child. His father Thors and mother Helga lived a fruitful and eventful life in Iceland. Hearing about the stories of faraway lands, Thorfinn develops a fascination towards Vinland. Now, his only dream is to make a voyage to Vinland. But he is unaware that grave misfortunes are yet to arrive.
Floki, one of his former companions of war, betrays him. Floki had assigned Askeladd to execute Thors. Now, Thorfinn undergoes a mental change and his only dream becomes to avenge the death of his father by killing Askeladd. But for it he has to get closer to Askeladd first. Hence, Thorfinn joins the army of Askeladd, but deep inside he is always looking for an opportunity to kill Askeladd. As the story progresses more and more characters are introduced, adding mystery to the plot.
At the end we see Askeladd getting killed by Canute with mischief in front of the eyes of Thorfinn. Thorfinn is shocked and taken back by this view in front of him. All his struggle, determination, anger which he has been storing for more than a decade, just for a chance to kill the murderer of his father. Canute takes away this opportunity from Thorfinn. Askeladd ends his life in Thorfinnn’s arms, giving him a lesson till his last breath. Askeladd
goes on telling that all his life he has been assassinating people, butchering women, children and even full family at a time. But he was never a complete soldier. A soldier need not to have a heart full of bitterness. Though he has a job to kill people who are his opponent. Askeladd’s last words to Thorfinn were “Be a True Warrior.”
With this Thorfinn ends up on a farm as a slave working for the Ketil. But as destiny would want King Canute launches an attack on Ketil’s farm where Thorfinn is a slave. King Canute wins the battle and takes over the farmland. This leads Thorfinn and his mates to freedom.
