Thorkell

Resumen

__Height:__ 230 cm (7'7") Thorkell is a Jomsviking general and brother of the Jomsviking Chief. A giant man who loves combat, Thorkell defected from the Danish army to become a mercenary for the English, believing that fighting his fellow Vikings will give him a better challenge. This same love of war leads him to support Prince [Canute](https://anilist.co/character/17438)'s bid for kingship of the Danes. Before [Thors](https://anilist.co/character/13021)' defection he works with and highly respects the man, and bears a fondness for his son [Thorfinn](https://anilist.co/character/10138) in the main plot. He duels twice with Thorfinn and dominates each time, though he loses two fingers in the first duel and an eye in the second. In battle, Thorkell typically wields a pair of axes as his primary weapons, but his greatest asset is probably his vast physical strength. During a skirmish with [Askeladd](https://anilist.co/character/13020)'s band, he hurled a spear with such force that it skewered three men at once, despite having been thrown from several hundred feet away. Thorkell's character is based on Thorkell the Tall, a historical Jomsviking lord who is a mentor to Canute in the Flateyjarbók. ~!Joined Canute as his servant after seeing him change in front of Askeladd and Thorfinn.!~
