So, since Snake is a native from Miklaghard, which is the Norse name of Constantinople, we can guess that the actual Iron Fist was a Norse serving in the Varangian Guard who took Snake under his wing. Then Snake also ended up as a Varangian. But of course, the post in the guard wasn't an eternal one, and there were plenty of Norse and Saxon adventurers going up and down the route through the Volga river. The most renowned Norwegian king, Harald Hardrada, was also one of the most famous and successful Varangian Guards to ever live before he returned north.
@@chrisk3363 its not like a blind loyalty. he's really aware ketil's BS. but as he said. as the best fighter in ketil side, if he stay and fight he could have save some of those stupid peasant who think they can fight against King's royal guard.
@@bercerusbut if he try to capture and give ketyl family he could have save hundred of person from this perspective being loyal is really the best ethic choice ? Just to pay his mental debt hundred of person are gonna die or lose member of their body or member of they're family.
@@cormacoconnor7726No, the three of them are actually very close in power, Thorffin is the strongest, but the other two are around 80~85% of his power level
@@yellowrain2062 Why are we arguing between Thorgill vs Snake or Thorgill vs Thorfinn? That farm would have resisted well against Canute if Thorfinn decided to fight. I was expecting Season 2 to be Floki vs Thorfinn since Floki killed Thors...It'll be Thorgill vs Thorkell. The forginess/I have no enemies arc would have been great at Season 3.

Man I love old world history
Amazing backstory 😮
Is that the same one who died fighting against Harold Godwinson at Stamford Bridge before the Battle of Hastings?
@@krimzon7622 Yes. That one.
@@rotciv1492 Man, that guy knew how to live life.
We seriously need Snake’s backstory
They say snake is or was a varangian guard
@@The_Feral_man They also say that he's a master of stealth.
@@wetyewruyrtsutrdhjfg and that he likes boxes
Read Röde Orm by Frans G Bengtson
@@arawn1061 thanks man
True loyalty is like that, i dont whether it is positive or negative.
Not a good thing
Loyalty good blind loyalty bad

Thorgil would have smoked everyone here. He is at Snake's level.
Thorfinn would smoke them both unarmed
Who wins in a fight between Thorgil and snake

@@castlecritique ?? I was just asking who they first guy believed would win between Thorgil and snake. Who do you think would win?
