==Summary==
Thorkell (トルケル, Torukeru), also known as Thorkell the Tall, was a Jomsviking battalion commander and is considered the strongest Viking/Warrior. He has a passion for fighting and fights with two axes as his weapons.
Thorkell is a former fellow Jomsviking commander and friend of Thors, as well as his Uncle-in-law. He is also the brother of Sigvaldi, the Jomsviking chief, Great-Uncle of Thorfinn and father of Cordelia. Thorkell is an extremely tall (230cm) and mighty and above all jovial warrior based on the historical/mythological figure of the same name. He left when the war was over though because he considered the army 'boring' as they were undefeatable. Therefore, he joined the English forces as he considered this more interesting because they were 'weak and pathetic', so that he can get an actual challenge. He has his own band of Blood Knights defined by their tendency to switch to whichever side is losing so they'll have the stronger side to fight against.

Stamina: Extremely high, has never yet been tired, pitched innumerous battles against Vikings. Protected London Bridge and destroyed every single ship by himself with tree-trunks he threw and was ready to throw more. Fought then Thorfinn and never showed a sign of exhaustion.

Standard Equipment: Two battle-axes, chain mail, sometimes tree-trunks, beach ball-sized rocks, a boulder and throwing spears
Intelligence: Thorkell isn't particularly highly intelligent, but far from stupid. His instincts are especially keen and he's remarkably perceptive when it comes to an opponent's personality. He can also use his surroundings if it's to his benefits. Due to his age and the fact that he's considered as the strongest Viking, he has a lot of battle experience and is feared in combat by practically everyone. Despite his strength, Thorkell isn't arrogant at all. He's also shown in a flashack to use corpses as shields when attacked by arrows, so he has a lot of ways in battle to protect himself from long-ranged attacks.
Due to his experience, Thorkell knows how Warriors tick. Therefore, he uses provocation to trick 400 Warriors into running their deaths while going up against him. Thorkell also instantly knew who Askeladd was due to Torgrim giving up his weapon upon facing Thorkell and trying to make a deal with him, showing cowardice, much to Thorkell's despise.
Weaknesses: Battle-mad (Passed out once due to battle withdrawal), will prolong fights against challenging opponents (only applies IC), has the toughest time against little, agile guys. He has a weak chin and can be temporarily dazed when struck there.
