Viking Conquest Reforged Edition of:
- A Day in the Limelight: As per usual of Ak’s series he has subscriber knights that get there focus on their debuts in the series. The first of which being Eadweard.
- Anti-Villain: Morrigan Is Raedwalds enemy by circumstance, and fights to keep Mael Bresail would be killers at bay rather then any malicious intent.
- Arc Villain: Raedwald is sent after the Snake and spends some time finding him before he takes up an episode to be dealt with. Morrigan becomes the next one to take this title though Mael Bresail could arguably be the try Arc Villian up to this point when his actions are revealed.
- Badass Bookworm: Eadweard took up reading and writing better in the abbot then his brothers, but is still plenty capable in a fight.
- Big Bad: Lord Aethelred. His betrayal of Raedwalds family kick starts the Protagonists quest for revenge
- Determinator: What else do expect from a man who has nothing left but intends to gain the strength to take on a lord? Raedwald best shows this trait in the ‘Snake Ambush’ Backed in a corner by numerically superior opponents and badly wounded he keeps fighting. It pays off.
- Dark and Troubled Past: Besides the obvious example in Raedwald, Snake apparently had one as well, but all we know is his family was destroyed by his enemies Given his death we likely wont be finding out anymore on the subject.
- Doomed Hometown: Raedwald’s family castle and home was taken from him when Aethelred attacked
- The Exile: Aethelred has banished Raedwald from his lands when he put his family to the sword, though it’s not yet known if Aethelred even knows Raedwald is still alive. Raedwald intends to fix that soon enough.
- Everyone has Standards: Raedwald is disgusted with the men beating the slaves in a village he was working for.
- Fantastic Racism: Eadweard grew to despise Norsemen in general following a raiding parties attack on a settlement that him, his father, and his siblings help fight off.
- I Did What I Had to Do: Mael Bresail justifies his actions to remove the Flaithbertach family as this. Believing that there friendship with the Northern clans could have led to a civil conflict that weakened the kingdom of Aileach if they weren't fully removed otherwise.
- Jerkass: Raedwald has his moments, mainly taking all of the spoils from battles without much concern for his men, though he is making an effort to improve this.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He starts to fit this more. His taking of the loot is usually apart of a long term plan for the party and while he's rather blunt with things with people and willing to take contracts if they pay well enough it doesn't mean he blindly follows them and will generally listen to his moral code over coin.
- The Mutiny: Two in one episode in fact! When morals low in Raedwlads party twice there are conversations of betraying and both times Raedwald catches them in the act and kills the biggest upstart in single combat when challenged.
- Noble Fugitive: Raedwald is of noble blood but after his family was killed, hes been forced to flee from home. Though he also intends to come back with some help to take what hes lost back from the man in question.
- Roaring Rampage of Revenge
- Screw This I'm Out Of Here: The other heroes bail on trying to kill Morrigan when they lose there nerve.
- Ship Tease: Raedwald and Morrigan. They even kiss and share his tent, turning into an Official Couple
- Sole Survior: Raedwald after his family's death.
- This is Gonna Suck: For some reason Raedwald cant just turn around and run away when he finds Morrigans camp, though he's quiet vocal about how screwed he thinks he is.
- Took a Level in Badass: Raedwald and his party struggle to handle simple bandits in the beginning as they start from general scratch. Overtime this has changed from them being able to crush most bandit parties and even take on Lords armies if needed.
- Training the Peaceful Villagers: Raedwald spends some time doing this to help a village fend off bandits and improve his relation with them.
- Off with His Head!: Raedwald has a tendency to decapitate his enemies in the middle of battle.
- Undying Loyalty: When Snake Ambushes Raedwald at the place he made his challenge only Caio comes to stand with him. Note this was during a time where Raedwald was angering his men and morale was low, meaning it would have been hard to fault him for leaving the man to his fate. Eadweard also seems to hold this both for his father and Raedwald.
- Wake-Up Call Boss: Morrigan's beasts full stop. Too strong for his party to take on in a straight up fight they force Raedwald to rely on his other skills to survive.
