Garm

Garm (ガルム, Garumu) is a very arrogant and brash man looking for thrills in fighting. He is quite intrigued by Thorfinn due to recognizing his prowess in combat and possibly being the fight he so long sought after.

It's been implied in the manga that he's Thorkel's bastard son.

Appearance
Garm is of average height and has a lanky build. He keeps his hair in a 'spiked up" style and has sparse eyebrows.

Personality
Garm has a very cocky personality. He thinks of killing as a fun game and genuinely does not understand why Thorfinn would not want to kill people anymore. In a lot of ways, Garm is quite similar to Thorkell in his love of combat. Garm is quite simple in his behavior, only wishing to fight strong opponents and enjoy the thrill of battle. He seems to be a bit of a death seeker as he remarks at the end of his first fight with Thorfinn that he really thought he'd be the one to kill him in combat.

Garm is quite blunt when expressing his opinions and desires and only seems to care about the thrills of combat. He has an utter dislike for the idea of living a peaceful life as a farmer. Throughout his second interaction with Thorfinn, Garm claims that he is his friend implying that he has a warped idea about the meaning of friendship as if it is something only relating to combat. This says a lot about how he views people with those that are worthy opponents being his friends and having no respect for those he considers weak. In fact, he does not seem to know much about life outside of fighting.

History
Floki hires Garm to kill Thorfinn, when he learns that Thorfinn could be a threat to Baldur's claim to chieftaincy. When Garm realises Thorfinn's combat prowess, he becomes obsessed with the idea of fighting to the death with him and eventually kidnapps Einar, Gudrid and Leif in an attempt to force Thorfinn into a duel.
