Vikings: 12 Most Brutal Moments So Far
6. Oleg Enjoys Tormenting His Brothers
Oleg is the new villain of season 6 and what a villain he is. Oleg's brutality is very clear especially with his treatment of both his brothers. No matter what fate he decides for them, everything seems to be a joyous occasion for the Rus prince.
First, we meet his brother Askold whom Oleg poisons simply so he can control his nephew Igor. The brutality is shown during Askold's death - as he is slowly poisoned Oleg begins to dance and laugh as if everything is right in the world. As if this is his idea of a great time. And this is one of the bloodier poisonings of the show, so that tells you all about him.
Next, Oleg captures his brother Dir and while he refuses to kill him, he decides to torture him for a bit and ends up turning him into a pet, literally. Oleg pierces a chain into Dir's cheek and keeps him locked in a cage in the middle of a Rus winter like an abandoned dog.
