10 Most Pointless Vikings Characters

10. Hvitserk

Oh Hvitserk, while his journey may not be over just yet, he has still yet to contribute anything substantial to the show.

As one of Ragnar Lothbrok's sons, Hvitserk believed he had some great destiny to live up to. So much so, he eventually became consumed with what his purpose was in almost a meta-commentary on how the show didn't even know what to do with him.

Despite being shown to be an exceptionally skilled fighter, Hvitserk does little else throughout the story. Often, his only scenes comprise of him skipping through a battlefield, talking about his own destiny and swapping sides almost at random.

The only notable deed Hvitserk goes on to do is murder an already dying and weakened Lagertha, which he then takes total credit for.

During the early stages of Season Six, Hvitserk was a crazed lunatic who was kept under the close watch of his brother, Ubbe. Then, after killing Lagertha, he suddenly snapped out of it, despite being a drug-addled mad man.

No matter what fate does await Hvitserk, it better come soon so that he pipes down about it.
