Harald Bluetooth (Civ5)

Harald "Bluetooth" Gormsson (c. 920 AD – c. 986 AD) was the King of Denmark from around 958 and King of Norway for a few years around 970. He was the father of his successor Sweyn Forkbeard (c. 960 – 1014) and is noted as the first Scandinavian monarch to officially accept Christianity. He leads the Danes in Civilization V.
== In-Game ==
Harald Bluetooth speaks modern Danish (with a Zealandian accent) instead of the Old Norse spoken in his time. On his diplomacy screen, he is standing on a Viking longship in the ocean. Harald possesses a (historically inaccurate) winged helmet that he wears during wartime and throws into the ocean when defeated.

=== Personality and Behavior ===
Harald Bluetooth will attempt a domination victory most of the time.
Harald is quite an aggressive leader and can wage frequent wars, especially against weaker neighbors. Players should stay on guard if they have Denmark as a neighbor.
Harald likes to develop a strong navy, and his water connections are, on many occasions, some of the best ones. Starting in the Modern Era, he is likely to have a massive submarine fleet.
Harald also likes to raise a large offensive army. Expect him to have many Berserkers in the Medieval Era.
Harald often demands tribute from city-states, and will sometimes attack them.
Harald is one of the leaders that is relatively difficult to befriend. However, if you do manage to befriend him and earn his trust, you will have one of the most loyal allies. Besides, he is very tolerant of fellow warmongers.

== Trivia ==
* The origins of Harald's assumed name, Bluetooth, are still debated to this day. The most popular theory is that he may have had one or more dead teeth, which turned black. The other, that his affinity for eating blueberries caused his teeth to turn blue, is the stuff of internet lore.
* Created by Swedish telecommunications firm Ericsson in 1994, the Bluetooth wireless standard was named after Harald Bluetooth. The Bluetooth logo designed by Ericsson is actually a combination of the runes Hagall and Bjarkan, forming the initials of Harald Bluetooth.
* Harald Bluetooth is related to several leaders from the Civilization franchise:
** He is the brother of Gunnhild, a Viking leader from Civilization II.
** He is the great-grandson of Ragnar Lodbrok, a Viking leader from Civilization III and Civilization IV.
** His descendants include Canute from Civilization II, Catherine and Gustavus Adolphus from Civilization V and its expansions, and Kristina from Civilization VI: Gathering Storm. Moreover, his great-great-granddaughter Ingrid was the daughter-in-law of Harald Hardrada from Civilization VI.

== Intro ==
Honor and glory be yours, Harald Bluetooth Gormsson, mighty heir of King Gorm the Old and Thyra Dannebod. Not only were you victorious on the battlefield against the armies of Norway, you also completed massive construction projects across the land - numerous Ring Fortresses to protect the populace from invasion and internal strife. You successfully drove off waves of German settlers in 983 AD and sheltered your kingdom from unwanted foreign influence.
Stalwart Viking, the time for greatness is upon you once more. You are called to rise up and lead your people to renewed power and triumph! Will you make the world shudder once more at the very thought of your great armies of Northsmen? Will you let the Viking battle cry ring out across the crashing waves? Will you build a civilization to stand the test of time?
