Though he certainly has his CloudCuckooLander moments (for instance, he thinks Christianity is based around worship of the Archangel Michael), he's the strongest advocate for peaceful resolutions and one of the few people respected enough by both sides to have a chance of pulling it off.

Killing them is not considered illegal [[note]] This is because under medieval Icelandic law, the right to prosecute a killing fell on the next male kinsman. If that person was back in Norway, the killing probably wouldn't get prosecuted at all, and hence [[TruthInTelevision it was de facto legal]] to kill Norwegians in Iceland, although if the killer travelled to Norway he might well face consequences.[[/note]]
