Askeladd, real name “Lucius Artorius Castus”, was a Welsh-Danish Warlord who commanded a mercenary band of bloodthirsty Vikings by which the main protagonist, Thorfinn, followed for over a decade. He's a descendant of the legendary Roman King, by which he was named after, through his mother’s side. Askeladd was named after the Great King by his mother who idolized King Artorius and always claimed he would come save them from slavery. His nickname of “Askeladd'' is loosely based on the Norwegian story of “The Ashen Lad”, as he was constantly covered in ash thanks to the various jobs he did as a child slave.

Current Abilities
━━━★CLAIRVOYENCE After gaining a starseed, Askeladd will develop the power of clairvoyance. He'll be able to see beyond the ordinary range of perception and even be able to view bits of pieces of information through paranormal means. Askeladd will also be able to detect certain beings and entities which would be normally undetectable with this power, such as ghosts & spirits. Eventually as this ability progresses, Askeladd will gain the ability to perceive visions from the past, and sometimes the future, by accidentally diving into the memories of those he touches. As a way of limiting this particular ability, he will suffer a crippling migraine that will last 48 hours.
★ As mentioned, Askeladd has inherited the power of "clairvoyance" thanks to his Starseed. This ability allows him to psychically perceive sights and visual sensations from past events or locations currently outside of normal human scope. For those who are familiar with the Echo from Final Fantasy XIV , it's a similar ability to that with him being able to see the past of those he touches. For brevity's sake, if you're interested in having your character's past be viewed by Askeladd here, please feel out the form below and we'll plot something. I just want to make sure I have people's permission first before embarking upon this plot idea. Thank you!
