Vikings: Each Main Character Ranked From Worst To Best

10. Hvitserk

One person you can’t help but feel sorry for is Hvitserk. He spends the entire show in the shadow of his brothers and faces nothing but rotten luck. The man himself has many great attributes despite the struggles he faces and for this reason he squeezes into the top ten.

From the offset you could see that Hvitserk was the ‘other’ son of Ragnar. Bjorn was a beast, Ubbe was a leader, Ivar was Aslaug’s favourite and even Sigurd had the weird snake eye. He was the middle-man and the son that people forgot.

The character all but admits this in the last series but he has qualities that help to define him. His love for his brothers is unparalleled. The development of his and Ivar’s relationship is great to see and the culmination at the latter’s death is an awesome scene.

He is a fierce warrior that was part of the heathen army which conquered the forces of Northumbria and Wessex. Add to this his tragic love stories and battle with drug addiction. You get an excellent character that can hold his own.

Certainly not one of the greatest but well worthy of his place in the top ten.
