Bjorn

Askeladd's second in command, and his longest-serving and most loyal follower. He is considered Askeladd's only real friend, and stayed with him when the rest of the band rebelled. Bjorn is an extremely skilled warrior, often using a berserker mushroom to work himself up into a fury, augmenting his strength and making him resistant to pain, though losing the ability to distinguish between friend and foe.
