THORSTEIN THE PROUD (Ernest Borgnine)
50 years old
Jarl of the Skjöldung clan
Thorstein has been jarl the longest of the three and that is something he won’t let anyone forget. He’s wise, clever and probably the most fun-loving of the three. He’s laughter is often to be heard through his hold and he prefers smiles over sadness. When it comes to important matters he can turn serious though and always got an answer for everything. He’s not fond of taking advice from those younger and more inexperienced than himself, and it’s hard for him to admit if he’s wrong – therefore the name “Thorstein The Proud”. The takes great pride in having the best horses, best houses, best crops and such and will have everyone work for their glory. He prefers to stay away from battle and tend to matters he sees as more important, but would not keep out from a bet or challenge. He’s known for holding the greatest feasts and celebrations, with no holding back on either food or drink. Thorstein lost his wife Elfrid in sickness many years ago and now only has his son Hallvor left. Feel free to keep spinning around his personality and history!
HALLVOR THORSTEINSSON (Tim Robbins)
24 years old
Son of jarl Thorstein
Hallvor is one of those that would rather stay out of conflict – especially battles. He doesn’t care for either fighting or blood and think the whole thing is rather pointless. Caring for the horses and other animals is much more up his alley, and his father really doesn’t mind. Thorstein just laughs about the matter, saying he is just like his mother – but he doesn’t care much for others joking about his boy being a wimp. Hallvor is a thinker with much empathy and understanding for others. He is one of the few that can both read and write – as well as playing the lute. Feel free to keep spinning around his personality and story!
ATHENA ZORIA (Adrienne Wilkinson)
22 years old
Daughter of the Amazon Queen
Athena is the queens first born daughter. She’s a warrior at heart and is good with her sword. Pride is important to her and she wants to bring glory to her mother and her people. Stubborn in her opinions she won’t let anyone tell her she’s wrong, and she was furious about the Vikings coming to Themiscyra. Athena sees men as weak and to see the Viking women bow down to their men makes her sick. Her greatest wish in life is to feel loved and recognized by her mother though, and it hurts her to feel her mother being so cold. But this is a secret she would never tell. Feel free to spin more around her personality and history!
CYRENE ZORIA (Jennifer Sky)
20 years old
Daughter of the Amazon Queen
Cyrene is the youngest of the sisters and as opposed to Athena, she’s not so fond of fighting. Sure she can swing a sword – being taught how from an early age, but she prefers to have fun. A good laugh and company is better than blood and guts. Besides – she hates to see people hurt. Unlike her sister, Cyrene doesn’t hide the fact that she is disappointed and angry about their mother taking her job as queen more serious than her job as a mother. And who their father was is a question that has always spun in her mind. Besides – Cyrene is mighty curious about the Vikings and is actually glad they came. Feel free to spin more around her personality, likes, dislikes and history!
LIGEIA PEISINOE (Claire Stansfield)
Age unknown
Witch and medic of the Amazons
Ligeia is well known to be the skilled medic and witch among the amazons. She’s also rather feared due to her somewhat dark and mystical ways. The queen has known her all her life and trust Ligeia, and doesn’t interfere with her business. She has both a room in the fortress dungeon and a hut somewhere in the woods at her disposal. At least that’s the places known to others. Here you have a lot of options as far as her personality, history, goals etc. goes! This is definitely a character that can be done a lot with.
