* IgnorantOfTheirOwnIgnorance: Grimmel’s so dead-set on the belief that all dragons are evil that the idea of co-existence is completely alien to him. Hiccup even compares Grimmel’s ignorance of befriending dragons to a man that sees nothing but an empty room.

* AuthorityInNameOnly: On paper, Uttland is a provincial territory subject to Arendelle's laws. In reality, Uttland is more of an independent nation which barely acknowledges Arendelle's sovereignty. [[spoiler: When Elsa sends an army to assist Uttland in repelling the Vikings, Uttland's chiefs refuse her aid and even attacks her army over a minor provocation.

----
* AdaptationalExpansion: His backstory given more depth upon. He's revealed to have been the SoleSurvivor of [[DoomedHometown Klotthas]] and spent some time working on Kun's aunt and uncle's farm before disappearing. He would later reappear wearing his signature dragon-skin cloak and began recruiting men from Uttland to fight the dragons.
* AdaptationalVillainy: This version of Drago is a slave trader on top of being a murderous conqueror.
* DeathByAdaptation: Downplayed. In canon, his fate was intentionally left ambiguous. Here, it's confirmed that he died shortly after fleeing on his Bewilderbeast.
* DoomedHometown: His mountain village of Klotthas was attacked and burned down by dragons with him as the [[SoleSurvivor only survivor]]. In the present, "Klotthas" has even become a word used to describe complete immolation in Arendelle.
* TheDragonslayer: What he passes himself off as and what Uttland believes he is. In reality, he was more of TheBeastmaster.
* EvilerThanThou: [[spoiler: Hiccup notes that if Drago and Viggo had actually met, neither would be able to stand the other and Viggo would be the one that would lose out.]]
* FarmBoy: According to Kun, after losing his village to dragons, Drago spent the remainder of his childhood on Kun's aunt and uncle's farm.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Went from being an orphaned FarmBoy to the feared warlord we know in the second movie.
* GreaterScopeVillain: Although Drago is dead, his actions are directly responsible for the main conflict in ''Of State''.
* AHeroToHisHometown: His VillainWithGoodPublicity status gets taken UpToEleven in Radvo. There, he is considered a FolkHero and his family are treated like royalty.
* KnightOfCerebus: He's seen as this in-universe by Hiccup. The Vikings and dragons all used to live in peace until Drago came along. After that, it [[CerebusSyndrome things only spiraled downward]] as his army continued to wage war on Berk, forcing Hiccup to drop his pro-peace attitude and start fighting back.
* OneDegreeOfSeparation: He used to work on a farm owned by Kun's aunt and uncle. Kun is a longtime ambassador of Arendelle and personally knows Elsa.
* PosthumousCharacter: He is already dead by the time of the events of ''Of State''.
* SoleSurvivor: He was the only one to survive the dragon attack on Klotthas, a small village located in the mountains.
* StrawHypocrite: He created the Northern Alliance with the mission of eradicating dragons and "liberating" mankind from living in fear of them. In reality, he used the Northern Alliance to create a dragon army with the purpose of [[TakeOverTheWorld oppressing mankind]] through fear.
* UglyGuyHotWife: Snotlout was unable to believe that ''anyone'' would actually marry Drago.
* VillainousLegacy: Despite being long dead, Drago’s actions serve as the catalyst for the plot.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: To the people of Uttland, Drago is TheDragonslayer who fights to free mankind from the tyranny of dragons. Queen Elsa also thinks highly of him, having only Kun, a devoted follower of Drago's, to rely on for information.
* YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters: Uttland sees him as a liberator, while the United Norse Kindom sees him as a conqueror.
[[/folder]]

* SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil: [[spoiler: They also engage in the slave trade with Uttland, taking Vikings from the archipelago to sell in the Radvo marketplace as either free labor or [[SexSlave sex slaves]].

* ArchEnemy: Hiccup has made taking him down his top priority and Viggo is one of the few people that Hiccup genuinely hates.
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: Deconstructed. Hiccup notes that this trope is the very reason why Viggo is unpopular among the other generals. His ComplexityAddiction and [[FauxAffablyEvil business-like approach to war]] completely contrasts the Northern Alliance's preference for using brute force.

* HowTheMightyHaveFallen: As a result of Hiccup’s war against the Dragon Hunters, Viggo had lost all of his business and resources. Various characters note how despite his high priority status, he has nothing of value left.

[[folder: Erlend]]
An Uttlander who recently joined Drago's army. After his unit gets captured, he defects to the UNK.

[[folder: Drago Bludvist]]
The fearsome leader of the Northern Alliance who sought to conquer the Barbaric Archipelago with a dragon army. After his defeat, he drowned when his Bewilderbeast dove underwater.

** He also claims that the ObviouslyEvil designs of Drago's war machines from in ''How To Train Your Dragon 2'' were meant to serve as morale for the men and ineffective against humans.

* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Knows nothing about Drago's crimes in the Barbaric Archipelago.

* CreateYourOwnHero: Their brutal attacks on the Viking tribes led to the creation of the United Norse Kingdom.

* NeverMyFault:

* BigBadWannabe

* HellBentForLeather: He primarily wears leather and Hiccup even comments on it.

* TheWorfEffect: Grimmel was the main villain of the third HTTYD movie which takes place roughly around the same time of this doc. [[spoiler: He gets easily defeated to show just how much more powerful Hiccup is compared to his movie counterpart.]]

* ClosestThingWeVeGot: He admits that he was only promoted because he was the one who brought back his commanding officer's corpse.

* WrongGenreSavvy: She seems to think that the Vikings are your typical [[HordesFromTheEast Hordes From The North]].

* SoLastSeason: By this point, Hiccup’s dealt with so many egotistical dragon hunters that he’s able to guess Grimmel’s backstory and even calls Grimmel “boring”.

* NeverMyFault

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone

* DeathByAdaptation

!Others

* ClosestThingWeveGot: He admits that he was only promoted because he was the one who brought back his commanding officer's corpse.

* AcquiredSituationalNarcissism: This gets deconstructed with Grimmel. Growing up, Grimmel was a nobody in his village. After killing a Night Fury, he became a town hero overnight. When that popularity inevitably faded, Grimmel became a GloryHound willing to do anything to regain it, leading to a career that drove the Night Furies to near-extinction.

* KnowNothingKnowItAll: Despite claiming to be a "dragon expert", the only thing Grimmel actually knows about them is how to kill them. This fails to impress Hiccup, who even lampshades this trope.

** Growing up, Grimmel was simply unnoticed by his village, whereas Hiccup was a village pariah.

* RedBaron: He’s also known as “The Grisly”.

** This later becomes a problem for her due to the [[MagicalSociety Emrysian Order’s]] rules against monarchs wielding magic.

* AcquiredSituationalNarcissism: This gets deconstructed with Grimmel. Growing up, Grimmel was mostly unnoticed by his village. After killing his first Night Fury, he was treated as a hero by his peers. When that popularity inevitably faded, Grimmel became a GloryHound willing to do anything to regain it, up to and including genocide.
* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: According to Gobber, half of the reason why his Deathgrippers are so horrifying to look at is due to injuries Grimmel inflicted upon them.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Grimmel believes the Vikings’ coexistence with dragons is born out of fear and showing them a way to destroy dragons is all it would take to remove that peace.
** He also believes the reason Hiccup didn’t kill Toothless as a boy was because Hiccup was afraid of the dragon.

* FromNobodyToNightmare: He went from being an unremarkable village boy to a legendary dragon hunter.

** Growing up, Grimmel was considered to be a nobody by his village, whereas Hiccup was a village pariah.

* FieldPromotion: He gets promoted solely because he was the one that brought back his commanding officer's dead corpse.

* EqualOpportunityEvil: Played with. On one hand, they have both Eastern Europeans and [[spoiler: Huns]] within their ranks. But they still look down on women.

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Prior to their invasion, the Vikings of Mathantir were so caught up in blood feuds and petty squabbles that wars were semi-common and unity was a lost cause. The Northern Alliance’s invasion made them into a common enemy for all the Mathantiran Vikings, making it easy for Hiccup to convince them to join his kingdom.

* AcquiredSituationalNarcissism: This gets deconstructed with Grimmel. Growing up, Grimmel was mostly unnoticed by his village. After killing his first Night Fury, he was seen as a hero by his peers. When that popularity inevitably faded, Grimmel became a GloryHound willing to do anything to regain it, up to and including genocide.

** Growing up, Grimmel was simply considered average by his village, whereas Hiccup was a village pariah.
** Hiccup never let his popularity go to his head and always put his friends first. Grimmel wound up loving his 15 minutes of fame so much that he’s willing to do anything to recreate it.
