Meet the Characters
The show follows the adventures of a young Viking boy named Vic. He's not the strongest or biggest Viking, but he is super smart and clever!
Vic's Family and Friends
- Vic: The main character, a young Viking boy who uses his brain to solve problems.
- Halvar: Vic's dad. He's the captain of their Viking ship, the Drakkar, and the leader of their village, Flake. He's strong but sometimes needs Vic's smart ideas.
- Ylva: Vic's mom. She's a bit bossy but cares a lot about her family.
- Ylvi: Vic's little cousin. She's also very curious and often joins in the fun.
The Viking Crew
Vic sails with his dad and other Vikings from their village. They include:
- Urobe: The wise old druid (a kind of magic user).
- Tjure and Snorre: Two friends who often argue but are always there for the crew.
- Flaxe: A big, simple giant who is strong and kind.
- Gorm: The navigator with a squeaky voice.
- Ulme: The bard, who loves to sing and tell stories.
Rivals and Villains
- Gilby: A mischievous boy who is Vic's rival. He's often jealous that Vic gets to go on adventures with the men.
- Captain Sven: Halvar's main enemy. He's a rascally pirate captain with a crew of not-so-smart helpers. Many episodes feature other bad guys too!
