* {{Pirate}}s: Though they initially come off as highly organized poachers, as the series goes on they're revealed to operate more like a massive fleet - if not a small nation - of pirates: harassing traders and shipping lines, plundering ports, and smuggling weapons and treasure. Ports in which they have a lot of influence invariably become {{Wretched Hive}}s full of thugs and corrupt deals.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Despite how his brother treats him, he cares about him because they're family,[[spoiler: though this is later subverted when he betrayed Viggo and even became fine with killing him]].He also seems to care about his cousin, Lars, who is also part of their dragon hunting team.

* GeniusBruiser: Shown to be more muscular than his brother and one of the bulkier characters, after Stoick and Alvin, he is shown to be strong enough to handle his foes. He also stated about his strength that he can easily hurt his brother. For the "Genius" part, while he's not as great compared to his little brother, he appears to know a lot about dragons, as he claims to his men that dragons are smarter than they appear. As he is able to come up few ideas against the Dragon Riders that seem to work out and knowing that the riders were acting to be captured on the ship, he also a good tactician.

* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Deconstructed. Viggo is the younger sibling between him and Ryker as well as the head of their dragon hunting business. However, their relationship is strained thanks to the former's InsufferableGenius nature, treating the latter as nothing but DumbMuscle. And their relations only worsen with Hiccup and his friends defeating them more often. As such, [[spoiler:the two end on nasty terms with Ryker betraying Viggo.]]

* BadBoss: He doesn't believe in forgiveness, but he certainly willing to let you think he is.
* BeardOfEvil: The classic neat goatee, at a contrast with Dagur's growing BeardOfBarbarism.

* CainAndAbel: {{Averted|Trope}}. [[spoiler: The season six finale has Ryker and Viggo having a falling out with Ryker seizing control of the Dragon Hunters. At first, it looks like it might be a trick, but it is confirmed by Viggo's line of Hiccup helping put Ryker "back in his place". However, while Viggo may have had a falling out with Ryker, both now willing to kill one another and the former is helping out Hiccup and the Riders, Viggo is ''still'' an enemy, as he used Astrid as to get the Dragon's Eye from Hiccup.]]

** In "[[Recap/DragonsRidersOfBerkS6E12ShellShockedPart1 Shell Shocked Part 1]]", Hiccup finds Viggo begging for his help, his brother having apparently betrayed him, taken his tribe and resources and is willing to negotiate a truce if he could help him (not unlike Alvin the Treacherous). What makes this different from Alvin's predicament was that [[spoiler:the betrayal was all an elaborate ruse Viggo orchestrated, ending with both Viggo and Ryker dying instead of peace being made]].

* InsufferableGenius: Deconstructed. Viggo is quite intelligent and is well aware of the fact, as he mocks the brains of his brother, subordinates, and anyone he considers less of an equal. Over time, this not only plays into his later defeats but also causes Ryker to betray him along with the other hunters.
