Karli (カルリ Karuri?) is the child of a friend of Arngrim, a friend of Leif's. Karli's parents died due to an attack of Vikings allied with Gisli in his feud with Arngrim.

After finding him in the wreckage of his own home, guarded by his dying mother, Thorfinn and his crew take Karli with them on their journey to Miklagard. He is later adopted by Thorfinn and Gudrid and introduced as their son upon their return to Iceland. Karli later makes the journey to Vinland with them.

Trivia[]

  • Karli has shown prodigious intelligence for his age. When listening their fellow riders on the expedition arguing about sailing off the edge of the world, Hild tells Karli that she believes that the Earth is a sphere and explains her theory. Having understood the concept, Karli then asks "If you go awound and awound... you don't faww off? So the midduw pawt is down?," implying that he could conceptualize the sphere and understand the material relationships between themselves and living on the sphere. Hild remarks to herself that grasping her theory makes Karli, at only four, smarter than most grown men.[2]
