* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: [[DeliberateValuesDissonance By Viking standards, anyway]]. Olav is a pretty cool dude to hang out (or RapePillageAndBurn) with. He even displays occasional sympathy for the slaves.

* CainAndAbel: Eventually decides to murder his big brother Olav to claim his position, and makes his move when Olav is bedridden and unable to even lift his arms. Of course, Orm is such a pussy that he fails (twice) to smother him with a pillow and has to reach into Olav's gaping chest wound to literally strangle his exposed heart.

* ItsAllAboutMe: One of the most self-centered assholes you could ever hope to meet.
* KickTheDog: FreudianExcuse or not, Orm is a consummate douchebag to almost everyone.

* TyrantTakesTheHelm: Norheim goes to shit once he’s in charge.
