Vinland Saga, Episode 2: Sword

Synopsis

Atli makes his debut in this episode as one of Askeladd’s men, appearing in the final scene at Askeladd’s camp on Streymoy, one of the Faroe Islands. His role in this episode is relatively minor, but it helps establish his character and his affiliation with Askeladd’s mercenary band.

During the scene, Atli is seen observing the cruel game played by Askeladd’s men, where they throw axes at a terrified Christian monk tied to a post. Atli does not participate in the game but is present as his comrades torment their captive. He later attempts to interact with the Jomsvikings, offering them a drink, but they ignore him, maintaining their disciplined and distant demeanor. Atli laughs off their silence, remarking on their good manners, showing his laid-back and somewhat easygoing nature compared to the more brutal members of the group.

This brief introduction establishes Atli as a member of Askeladd’s band and gives a glimpse into his personality. While he does not engage in the same level of cruelty as some of his comrades, he is clearly comfortable in the violent and lawless environment of Askeladd’s crew.
