Ragnar dresses in the typical pink plate armour of a [[warrior]], with a more Roman-esque asthetic. Naturally, he is far more concerned with improving his skill at arms than with scholarly pursuits. He is quite a compassionate person, as evidenced by his righteous fury against the demonic kidnappers and willingness to befriend an innocent [[Healie|monster]] when most would slay it. Ragnar's fellow soldiers look up to him with admiration and respect, and even the king places the utmost confidence in him. Though Ragnar takes great pride in his strength and skill, he is a humble man at heart and places the safety of others above all else. | Ragnar dresses in the typical pink plate armour of a [[warrior]], with a more Roman-esque asthetic.
