Pater is a former slave working for Ketil as a farmhand. He helped Thorfinn and Einar as an overseer.
Appearance[]
Pater has short grey hair. His eyes are always shut and he has scars all over his face.
Personality[]
Pater is a caring person, loyal to his master, Ketil. He is helpful to both Thorfinn and Einar. This may be because he was a former slave of Ketil himself. He is very calm and mature.
History[]
Before Thorfinn and Einar were slaves on Ketil’s farm, Pater was one himself. He earned his freedom and chose to remain in Ketil's employ as a farmhand. The other workers show some disdain towards him due to his past status as a slave.
He helps Thorfinn and Einar in many cases, such as after the farmhands mistreated them and denied them a horse. After Leif's arrival at Ketil's farm, Pater assists him in finding Thorfinn and asks him to buy Einar and Arnheid as well. After Arnheid is beaten by Ketil, Pater treats her wounds.
Despite seeing Ketil losing his grip, Pater remains loyal to him: when Ketil leads his men in a battle against Canute, Pater charges into battle at Ketil's side. Pater survives the battle and sees Thorfinn and Einar off when they leave Ketil's farm with Leif [2].
