* Askeladd. Equal parts AuthorityEqualsAsskicking and MagnificentBastard. He seems to be one of the strongest warriors depicted in the series, and whatever his sword can't get him out of, his brain will. In fact, when it came time for him to die, he did so on his own terms...after slaughtering about a dozen or so men in a (fake) blood craze.

* ''Everything'' about Hild. As a kid she was a TeenGenius inventor, whose innovative designs massively improved the quality of life for her village under her dad's encouragement and support. After the incident where Askeladd's band raids her home and Thorfinn personally kills her father, she survives and undergoes training with a bear hunter, becoming so badass that she regularly hunts bears with a modified crossbow she invented herself and utterly destroys ''[[WorldsStrongestMan Thorfinn]]'' when she faces him one-on-one. Thorfinn only survives due to the pleas of his friends and Hild's own conscience getting the better of her.
