Snake

蛇

Snake is compassionate and a man of reason. During the Ketil's Farm arc, Snake often shows genuine concern for other people, both free men and slaves. He has saved Thorfinn and other slaves countless times from brutal treatment, using both reason and his intimidating combat prowess.
Snake rarely lets his emotions get the better of him.

Spoiler

Snake seems to have a strong bond with both Ketil and his father but refuses to explain further, replying that they are mere strangers.
Snake appears to be in his middle-to-late 30s. Unlike most other characters, Snake has dark hair and a beard; this, coupled with his Oriental saber and equipment, suggests that he is of non-Norse stock.
