Tostig

Tostig was once a mighty and merciless Viking warrior who longs for Odin's Halls.

When Ragnar Lothbrok becomes the earl, he swears his allegiance and fealty to him and his family. He then asks Ragnar to bring him with them on their next raid as a favor. The other warriors laugh at him because of his old age, but Tostig explains that during his youth as a warrior, he had watched several of his companions die in battle while he was never gravely wounded. He wishes to die in battle so Odin may take him to Valhalla to dine and feast with the gods and his former companions. Ragnar grants him his request, and the other vikings agree.

Tostig believed himself to be forsaken and cursed to live in the world forever. In "A King's Ransom", Tostig is seen excitedly preparing to fight. He calls for Odin during the battle, and lives through it, much to his disdain. Eventually, Tostig meets his end in battle when their camp is attacked. Witnessing his death, Ragnar slays the one who was able to finally kill him. He and Ragnar exchange smiles as Tostig passes away.
