Harald Forkbeard

Harald Forkbeard is an antagonist in the How to Train Your Dragon franchise. 
== Background ==
=== Official description ===
=== Personality ===
Harald is both a liar and untrustworthy. At first, Hiccup was welcoming towards Harald but Astrid had suspected him. 
== Trivia ==
* His name appears to be based on Harald II of Denmark, sometimes referred to as Harald Forkbeard.
* Hiccup's trust and Astrid's mistrust towards Harald mirrors their first impression of Heather. They both also have lied and stolen the Book of Dragons.
* However, Heather was trying to save her parents, while Harald was trying to make a profit.
* Harald is the third person to lie and betray the Dragon Riders. The other two are Heather and Hroar.
* Coincidentally, all their names begin with "H."
* Harald is the only villain that has a dragon who is truly loyal to their master. Alvin's relationship with Groundsplitter is unclear, Dagur's Skrill has escaped, and Drago Bludvist tortured his Bewilderbeast into following his orders.
* Dagur does have Shattermaster and Sleuther, who are loyal to him. However, he was not a villain when they became his dragons.
* His name is nearly identical to Hiccup's French name, "Harold."
