Vermeil in Gold

Vermeil is a tall and curvaceous woman with shoulder length violet hair, deep vermilion eyes, horns, a spade-shaped tail, small fangs and pointy ears. She can conceal her non-human aspects at will so as to disguise herself as a human. She usually wears a short black one-piece dress (originally Alto's sister's). Her huge breasts are perhaps her most obvious feature, and she is quite proud of them. After the battle with Obsidian resulted in her clothes being destroyed, Vermeil wore the female student uniform (though the shirt doesn't close in the front due to the size of her breasts keeping the buttons from reaching) until a new black dress from Alto's sister arrived.
Depending on the situation Vermeil can take on a more monstrous and powerful demonic form than usual. In this state Vermeil has: Black wings, 6 ears, furry goat-like legs, tail, larger horns, claws, much larger fangs and a heavily distorted face. She is also substantially larger overall than normal.
When she was child, her hair was a bit shorter. She worn a pink dress and two white bows to cover her horns. Her horns were smaller than in her current appearance.

Vermeil is an easy-going devil who tends to be straightforward and bold in her behavior, including entering the boys' changing room without hesitation. Modesty and personal space are somewhat foreign concepts to her, and she has no issue with nudity (indeed being perplexed that Alto wants her to wear clothes at all). She always comes off as having a lewd streak, being extremely flirtatious and lustful with Alto Goldfield , her summoner, and even says she feels ecstatic whenever she tastes/feels his golden mana. She caresses, gropes, and simply cuddles with him on a frequent basis, and can make out with him for hours when they are alone together with the excuse of it helping him get stronger. She finds draining him immensely satisfying. However, she truly loves him, as she is devastated when she accidentally impales him.
She talks with people with hints of suggestive themes that always create misunderstandings, much to Alto's uneasiness. Despite this, she is careful not to let this get in the way of battle when fighting someone. Her playful and carefree nature shows even during fights, and she often teases her enemies and brags about her abilities. However, she is not too arrogant and often will take Alto's advice. Some of her bravado and confidence ends up being revealed to be a front to hide her past traumas, which she was afraid to let Alto know about.
Before being freed from Iolite's magic, Vermeil became remorseful and guilty when she revealed to Alto that she had accidentally destroyed her childhood town and everyone in it due to her foster family being murdered when they protected her from superstitious villagers who believed Vermeil was the cause of a plague the town was experiencing. This and being on the run for two centuries afterward led to her fearing she is really just a monster that should be alone.


Versus

Abyss was of average height and had a well-built physique. His hair was wavy, as if snakes were on top of his head as a hairstyle, similar to Medusa's. He had a bandage covering the right half of his face due to a missing eye, but it wasn't visible until Hallow learned about his condition. [1] He also wore a black mask that concealed nearly his entire face and a similarly black attire with a wavy pad on the left shoulder and a cloak. Abyss's support fairy resembled a crow that stayed on his left shoulder.

Abyss had a very reserved attitude and spoke very little. Bolst playfully referred to him as a member of the Genius Squad, which implies he was very powerful even among the Heroes. [2] This was further implied by Railu when he mentioned that he was the "Hero of Lightning" and that he defeated the Thunder Beast, Gora. [3]


Versus

Alicia's hair was what the cavalier-type hairstyle looked like in the 1660s, during the Georgian period. His hair extended above his shoulders in a curled, wavy style. Outside, he'd put on a cloak over a long-sleeved button-front dress shirt with black colored sleeves and collar. His support fairy had humanoid figure with stylish hair.

Not much was known about Alicia's personality, but he was willing to rescue his dearest lover and answered playfully when Bolst suggested a race to defeat their assigned Demon King.


Versus

Ario has medium-length hair that extends over his ears and eyes and is styled in wavy on the ends, which covers nearly half of his face. He braids his shoulder-length side hair and hangs it in front. He is of average height, at least the same as Hallow.

Ario's full appearance

Ario is confident in his strength as a hero, acting flamboyant with confidence that Hallow appreciated. However, he has a cowardly side, notably when he runs away just from seeing Nyudo playing with humans from afar. He becomes fearful and full of guilt of his actions after he runs off and becomes envious when Hallow reveals in spite of his fear, he is still willing to fight against the demons.
Despite this, he is still courageous enough to try to overcome this flaw. Facing the Titans and the Neo-Humans , Ario slowly overcomes his fears while also becoming enraged at the treatment humanity faces against Neo Humans and fights back against them. Holding hope that humanity will begin their counterattack even if he himself falls while having his companion Kira explain to Hallow to not save him after being captured.
Ario also likes to flirt with women, as seen from his attempt to hit on Keila and Hallow's remark that it was his old habit.


Versus

Bastz wears a black hazmat suit that covers the entire body, including his face.

Bastz is pretty pessimistic and seems to have a dark sense of humor. This pessimism caused by only seeing death and decay allows him to marvel at the sight of Demons and Madalans fighting when other humans are hiding in the fortress. Bastz also has a shady side to him, as seen when the King reveals Bastz has done something before he passes away and a parasite pops out. It's later revealed that what he administered to the King was the MD-R-13, a soul container that could drain a person's life force and slow down the symptoms of the parasite or other illnesses. He only lied to the others since Bastz believes they wouldn't have trusted him or understood his reasoning. He administered the same treatment to Shirokaki upon discovering he'd been infected by a parasite, demonstrating his previous actions weren't out of malice but merely attempting to help with the tools he had.


Versus

Bikkuk appeared to resemble a type of pterosaur with mohawk-like hair, a long beak, wings, sharp teeth and claws. Bikkuk's right eye was often wide open while the left eye appeared to be partially closed. Upon transforming into his powerful form, Bikkuk's beak broadened, his stature grew, and his left eye opened.

As seen in his fight with the aliens , Bikkuk had full confidence in his abilities as a combat executive. Unfortunately, due to his overconfidence, Bikkuk also underestimated the aliens in their first battle. When witnessing the monumental size of the Madalan's ship, he was completely shocked and wondered how they could win against something so large. Bikkuk was also afraid of dying and attempted to escape from the Madalans once the demons stopped receiving mana to heal themselves.


Versus

Bolst stood at an average height. He had a massive and muscular body. He had a scar on the left half of his forehead and his cheek. His hair was styled in what they call a mohawk hairstyle, with both sides of his head shaved, leaving a strip of considerably longer hair in the center. His lightning-like faded shaved sides linked to his black beard all the way.
He would dress in an overall outfit that had large fluffs and in color orange, which matched the color of his hair. The majority of his outfit, as well as his accessories, had a lightning logo colored in a light blue color.

Bolst's Full Appearance

As a hero, he was willing to fight the Demon Lords . Furthermore, he was willing to compete with the rest of heroes on who would kill their Demon Lord first, which implied he liked competitions. He also had a playful personality.


Versus

Braginte was a tall, bulky and muscular man. He had tanned skin and thick facial hair, including his beard and mustache. He only wore a leather cloth on the bottom held by a fastened rope.

Braginte was calm, cautious, valiant and reasonable. He refuted Pakkya 's claim of fighting a titan and stopped him from going overboard when he got angry. When giving advice, he warned that trying to lure the titans could go horribly wrong and result in the death of the whole squad. Despite that, he still volunteered to go to hopefully make them let their guards down. He heroically blocked a titan's club swing for Riam while patiently telling her to use Magic Therapy. When Ario was thinking of fighting, Braginte was still able to deduce that trying to give them the fun they want was the better option even if he knew it would cost his life.


Versus

Byakuo's appearance is mostly unknown, but he has a third eye on his forehead.

Byakuo's personality is currently unknown.


Versus

Cartel has a young face, complemented by a slender figure and dark hair that reaches her chin, covered by a peaked cap. Adorned in a service dress uniform, commonly donned by female officers, she sports a belted waist. Her attire includes a jacket layered over a dark, neck-covering shirt, paired with a skirt and boots.

Initially, Cartel is quiet, observing silently while Peio takes the lead in communication. Yet, the first sighting of a parasite spurs her into action, cautioning the others about the dangers, particularly advising against approaching the woman and the men who might be infected in the Land of the Lawless . Despite recognizing the moral dilemma, Cartel hesitates to assist the afflicted woman, her past encounters with parasites underscoring the grim reality of her world where not everyone can be saved.
Cartel, alongside Peio, remains on high alert for signs of infection, such as the deceased unnamed human king exhibiting unusual behavior, indicative of parasite influence. At such moment, Cartel takes cover behind their unique weapon, an umbrella gun, and alerts the others to the potential threat.


Versus

Daikokuzan, a colossal beast reminiscent of a reptile, stands as a majestic embodiment of a mountain. Its massive form is sheathed in expansive, obsidian scales that serve as a natural fortress, dotted with the remains of structures and various objects. Commanding its visage is an enormous maw bristling with razor-edged teeth, accompanied by six watchful eyes. A vibrant flame runs through its being, illuminating its chest and expression with a fiery glow. Preferring to loom upright, Daikokuzan strides on two sturdy legs and a pair of robust arms.

Little is understood about its personality. Daikokuzan appears to be driven by an unseen goal, propelling it onward. It displayed a peculiar interest in the Madalans ' colossal space warship, leading to its destruction. Subsequently, it proceeded to target the Humanity's Fortress , laying it to ruin, and moved in the trajectory of the escaping Hallow , Panepane , Pakkya , and Bastz . The reasons behind its actions remain currently shrouded in mystery.


Versus

Fecaccio has dark short hair with mid-length bangs hanging close to his face. He has a diadem around his head with a precious stone. He also has a long, large scarf around his neck and wears a tunic, gloves, boots and hose. He has a female support fairy with ant-like antennas.

Versus

Freen exudes a serene and composed demeanor, demonstrating initiative and a readiness to assist others when necessary. He adheres to Zaybi's directives without objection.
Upon witnessing Hallow 's injuries, Freen's reaction is one of subdued alarm, revealing his realization that even a hero of considerable strength is not invulnerable to the might of a Demon Lord .


Versus

Like the rest of its kind, Galua possesses a smooth, amorphous body with a heart engraved on its chest and a circular head that levitates without a neck. However, unlike the other Madalans, Galua does not have any rings or halos around his head.

Galua is an incredibly callous, ruthless, and cruel being. It aided the rest of its species in the near-extinction of humanity in their home world. When interacting with the demon army, it casually begins exterminating the hordes of demons without a second thought in order to establish the hierarchy and assert their superiority. Once it tunes in to a frequency that allowed it to communicate with the demons, it casually refers to them as trash and demands they tell Galua what happened to the planet. Galua dislikes those who talk down to it, expressing irritation at Kiva's defiant attitude. In combat, Galua constantly belittles its opponents, referring to them as amoeba and defective organisms and crushing any hopes of victory.
This attitude comes from the immense power Galua possesses alongside his kind. As such, he displays anger when ignored when attempting first contact and strides on the battlefield with confidence. This causes it to become irritated and angered when the demons continue attacking the Madalan's over and over again. At the same time, when faced with immense power from the Calamity, who destroyed their warship, it is unable to comprehend such a situation and is stunned when Pow is unable to harm it and falls onto the ground. By the end of the climax between them and the demons, Galua acknowledges that Earth holds more surprises than assumed, while readying to prepare for future battles.


Versus

Currently, details about Ginbak's appearance are scarce, but he appears to have a face covered in thick, fur-like hair. [2]

Ginbak is a very temperamental, emotional ruler. Upon encountering his son Gori's corpse, he bursts into tears and cradles his son's body. But then, he stomps on his son's body, deriding Gori for his death and calling him useless trash. He quickly calms down and calls his son adorable. This demonstrates Ginbak's excitable and unpredictable demeanor.
Like the rest of his kind, Ginbak is quick to violence. When his son, Berser, began to talk down to Jachi, Ginbak hit him over the head in irritation for speaking while Ginbak was conversing with the demon. Unlike his son, Berser, who speaks more eloquently, Ginbak's dialect is crude and short. He dislikes those who speak in a more refined manner, as he comedically hit Berser over the head for his verbose explanation for wanting to stay by Ginbak's side.
Due to his strength as the Chief of Titans, Ginbak does not take his opponents seriously. Despite being shocked and briefly mourning his son's death, Jachi noted that Ginbak didn't act the slightest bit threatened. When Jachi activated his aura from a distance and prepared his attack, Ginbak merely remarked that Jachi was shining and found it neat, unnerving Berser with this attitude.
Ginbak appears rather abusive toward his sons. He stomped on Gori's remains out of anger for his death against Jachi, and struck Berser for speaking out of turn. Despite the violence he displays toward his sons and fellow Titans, he does appear to care about them. He urged his sons to leave the battle, noting if they get caught up in the battle, they could potentially lose their lives.


Versus

Glasp presents a picture of a respected high-ranking major general who carries himself with enduring vigor despite the passage of years. A white beard and mustache adorn his face, while a peaked cap mostly covers his hair. Dressed as a major general, his attire is military-style trench coat that adds to his authoritative presence.

Glasp is a serious, calmed and composed man. As Major General, Glasp is a natural leader which is seen by taking the role of the Commander and head of the strategy team of the alliance made by all the different worlds.


Versus

Gore is a fairly muscular man with dark skin. He has light hair with an undercut hair style. He has sharp eyes with thick make-up on his lower eyelids with stitches running along both sides of his faces. He also has two mouth piercings, one simple ring in the middle and one shaped like a skull on the left that is chained to his left ear that has more piercings. Gore wears 2 sets of chains as necklaces with one containing a skull centerpiece. He wears a primarily black jacket, which is sewn together from different clothes, and stitched pants kept in place with a belt. He carries his katana on his left hip.

Gore is a smart, observative, cautious and ruthless individual. When spotting an unconscious Zaybi with a mage staff, Gore intends to torture him to get answers. He can quickly notice obscure details such as low energy levels of The Mecha Ordinance 's weapons, the cluelessness of the human group and the lack of offensive magic spells and piece them together to see through Glasp 's bluff. Yet when confronted by Masayoshi 's bluff, he is taken aback and orders his squad to retreat due to unknown elements after failing to gain information.


Versus

Gori was approximately twice as tall as his peers. Like most Titans , he had a muscular build, but his body hair was very thick on his chest, back, arms and parts of his legs. He also had acne on his nose and misaligned eyes and crooked teeth with two teeth missing along his mouth scar on the left side. He wore a single loincloth as the only garment. [2]

Gori was simple-minded and quick to burst into rage, which earned him the title of Wild Arms . [2] He simply found Jachi interesting and wanted to play before losing control when getting told to hasten. He also assumed Jachi was dead without checking. [3]


Versus

Gyuta sported a trendy mohawk hairstyle complemented by an undercut. In line with the attire of his mage companions, he donned a tunic paired with loose-fitting trousers and footwear, all unified under the traditional garb of a dark mage's robe. Adorning his neck was a necklace, notable for its pendant that features a four-pointed star meticulously etched into its surface.

Gyuta's demeanor was one of composure and integrity. Serving as a captain within the mage forces, he guided his fellow mages in concert with Zaybi. His leadership style reflected his calm and truthful nature.


Versus

Hallow is a young man of average height with indigo hair. His hero suit consists of a yellow and red gambeson, a scabbard and some armor pieces in his shoulder and the left side of his chest.
After his fight against Jachi , his hair grows white patches. This is possibly because of the stress he accumulated in that battle.

Hallow is a confident, loyal and dedicated individual. When it comes to fighting each of the Demon Lords , he isn't nervous about the demons, but because he was holding a massive responsibility over his shoulders. [3] Hallow's also extremely courageous to the point of being fearless as he is willing to go on a suicide mission and, even after realizing many of his comrades were defeated, chooses to stand his ground and march on into battle despite the odds of victory being almost zero; [4] this is also shown when he saved Keila and Freen from being hit by a vehicle. [5]
However, despite it being one of his greatest strengths, Hallow's courage has also proven to be his biggest weakness as well. Whenever his sense of justice is overcome or a mission fails, it causes Hallow to lose hope and become so terrified he's unable to fight. He also has a tendency to blame himself whenever he's unable to save everyone, regardless of how responsible he actually is or the amount of good he might've done. [6] Another flaw of Hallow's character is his pessimism; whenever the situation looks grim, he tends to lose hope and give up, such as when he says they can't defeat the Demons . [7] On top of that, he also has a low opinion of himself and believes his own existence has no value. [8] This plays into his almost suicidal willingness to sacrifice himself for others as he believes they're more important than himself.


Versus

Heidi has long hair and wears a dress. Most of her body is covered in bandages, including her face.

Heidi is an empathetic individual; knowing the cruelty of Neo-Humans and Ario's daunting task, she wants to wish Ario the best for a safe return and warns him of their merciless nature.


Versus

Hiroshi has a tall and lean figure, complemented by a young face and dark, straight hair that is trimmed neatly, resting slightly above his brow, and he incorporates a stylish undercut as well. He wears a suit that is typically worn by male students at the school.

Hiroshi has shown a desire to assist those in need of help, as evidenced by his concurrence with Mika's proposal to aid a woman afflicted by a parasite .


Versus

Jachi is a large, muscular being with dark-blue skin on his back, forehead, around his eyes and nose, in the back of his legs and arms, and light skin on his chest, abdomen, the front of his legs and arms and the rest of his face. He has sharp eyes with an extra third one on his forehead that always seems to open, large fangs, and fins protruding from either side and top of his head. His attire consists of a speedo, armguards, leg guards and a large cape fastened with a shoulder pad that resembles a jaw with spikes on either side.

Jachi is very arrogant and confident in his strength, as seen when he orders his underlings to stand still and spectate his battle against Hallow's party, or when he's annoyed by his underling's warning of the outside world. He also heavily looks down on humans, remarking them as "frail" and "trash". Jachi's rather sadistic nature makes him play around with Hallow instead of finishing immediately, going as far as taking a sword strike without any scratch to mentally break Hallow, resulting in Hallow's inner fear of demons afterwards.
Despite his sadistic and haughty nature, Jachi appears to have some form of affection for his soldiers. When the Madalans arrived at the hero's fortress, Jachi sent three other combat executives to assist Kiva and ensure his safety. Upon arriving at the aftermath of the battle at the hero's fortress and witnessing his army slaughtered, Jachi showed slight anger and demanded to know if Uki was responsible.
Even with the changes to the world, including the arrival of vastly different beings from other worlds, Jaichi showed no concern. At most, when facing one of the Madalans , he showed some interest in their unique abilities that didn't utilize mana. Thus, he slowly broke down and humiliated Uki by showcasing his superior strength before defeating him. Even so, Jaichi is capable of becoming serious when facing what he considers a true enemy, such as when meeting Ginbak .


Versus

Jupit's physique was lean yet strong. His hair was cropped close to the scalp, enhancing his streamlined appearance. Adorning his eyes were a pair of sleek goggles, and he was clad in a seamless bodysuit that hugged his form from neck to toe, complemented by form-fitting boots and gloves that completed his aerodynamic look.

Initially, Jupit maintained a reserved presence, often observing in silence. However, as the mission to reroute the Titans toward the Neo-Humans unfolded, Jupit's demeanor was laced with condescension for those he perceived as intellectually inferior. As a second lieutenant, he took great pride in his abilities, yet it was this very hubris, this dismissive overconfidence, that blinded him to the true might of the titans — a fatal oversight that ultimately brought about his premature end.


Versus

Keila has short blonde hair, sharp and determined eyes, and wears a power suit. Her power suit covers her athletic build. In her workout attire, she wears a form-fitting pants and her tactical bra which resembles a sports bra, reveals toned arms. Combat boots complete her ensemble, emphasizing both style and practicality. She also has a distinctive jacket that she sometimes wears over her outfit.

Keila's full appearance

Keila is a dutiful soldier who comes from the Mecha Ordinance . As a soldier, she is calm and stoic, and takes initiative action when danger approaches. She is respectful to the chain-of-command, though is willing to be flexible due to the dangers that approach humanity. Despite her expressionless emotions, Keila is caring to her allies and desires for the survival of humanity, and is willing to work hard to ensure she is ready.
She is analytical to understand those who put on a façade such as Ario , but is willing to encourage him when she realized he was trying to face his fears than just run away. Keila also has trouble understanding certain gestures of other-world humans, as she ate a plant Ario gave her thinking it was to eat.


Versus

Kira resembled a squirrel with 4 wings. It also wore a small cloth tied by a ribbon.

Kira was loyal to Ario. Whether Ario decided to run away or stay to fight, Kira obeyed all orders from him. However, despite its desire to see Ario, when realizing humanity would perish from one of the Calamities, Kira sacrificed itself to allow Gyuta the chance to save everyone, entrusting him despite death.


Versus

Kiva had devil-like wings and three pairs of pointed ears, each with an earring. He wore a suit with a bow tie and arrow-like edges. Upon getting serious, his appearance became more monstrous with enlarged sharp teeth and massively bulging muscles.

Kiva was a sadistic demon who wanted to kill humans . He was loyal to his masters and acts calculative, as seen when he ignored the robots at first due to them fighting humans. He was cruel to humanity, using taunts against humans such as Hallow and retains a calm demeaner when the situation is under his control.
Beneath his calm demeaner was also a prideful demon who became angry when things became unexpected. An example was when he immediately retaliated against the robots when they attacked him, ignoring the humans momentarily before becoming more enraged when they escaped. He also developed a serious grudge against Hallow, blaming him for his injuries after destroying the robots and sought to kill him. It goes to the point where despite promising to fight him fairly in their next fight, Kiva quickly broke his promise in both frustration and fear at Hallow's true strength.
He was also surprised by the strange new reality the world has become along with the violent nature of the titans who gruesomely killed many demons. Along with his meeting with the machines, when the Madalans arrive, Kiva decided to kill them all quickly, not wishing to underestimate them, showing that he realized the dangers that now reside in the new world. This comes from his long lifespan where for over two centuries Kiva admitted to feeling bored with killing humans.
Though with the constant appearances of new enemies, Kiva internally admitted they were more than he expected, forcing him to push aside his pride and ignoring humans to better deal with them. Upon witnessing the Madalans true strength however, it cultivates into causing Kiva to realize the possibility that the many Demon Lords and demonkind as a whole are facing a genuine threat to their rule. By the end, upon the decimation of many demons from the Madalans and the arrival of the Kaiju , Kiva attests that for once in his life he understood humans' fears and what it felt like to face "Overwhelming Power". Despite this fear, Kiva pushed them aside as he recalled the humans who were defiant and imitated them as he charged against the Madalans while wishing Lord Jachi luck as he entered a last-ditch effort to stop the aliens.


Versus

Korbo was a tall man with dark skin and a fade haircut. He wore a typical battle suit like all members of Anti-Machine Combat Force.

Not much is known about Korbo's personality due to his swift death at the hands of Titans . Nonetheless, he was amused by Ario 's efforts to boost morale before they left to negotiate with the Titans.


Versus

Liwan had a dark, short hair and wore a long headband around his head. He also had thick, dark eyebrows and dark eyes. He wore an armor with long cape.

Liwan seemed to be cautious and didn't want to underestimate the Great Demon King Army . He was even willing to lecture the other heroes about it too if they didn't take the demons seriously.


Versus

Masayoshi has a lean body, short dark hair and a long face with tired looking eyes. He wears pajamas.

Masayoshi behaves like an anti-social internet troll. He is a slovenly and self-indulgent shut-in and stays in his home all day, finding any excuse to avoid going outside or doing anything productive. Instead, he plays games and reads erotic books everyday. Masayoshi seems proud of this fact, as seen when he introduces himself to Glasp as "Captain of the self-appointed home guard". He's also rude and abrasive in conversations and often annoys whoever he talks to. He has no qualm calling Takuya moron when the latter attempts to stop a fight between Pakkya and Hallow . He later calls Mika stupid in response to her wanting him to help the potentially infected girl and sneers at Thear for calling the situation a resort.
Yet, he has been shown to be rational and quick-witted in dangerous situations to produce unique plans. This is first seen when Glasp considers Masayoshi's opinion to stay put, and later when he offers a can of energy drink to Zaybi to replenish mana, suggests leaving the potentially infected girl alone, and leads other people under Decoration Magic to scare The Lawless .


Versus

Mika has a slender figure, young face, chin-length dark hair tied in a bun, and blunt bangs. Her attire consists of a traditional Japanese school uniform, commonly donned by female students, which is inspired by the classic sailor suit design.

Mika is characterized by her robust moral compass and assertive personality. Her compassion extends even to those who may pose a risk, as evidenced by her concern for a woman potentially afflicted by a parasite . Annoyed by her brother 's indifferent attitude, Mika advocates for immediate assistance. She seems to value collective decision-making, even seeking her peers' input and proposing a vote on whether to aid the infected individual. However, when faced with the woman's transformation due to the parasite, Mika is terrified.
Mika is critical of her brother's apathetic and reclusive behavior. His reluctance to contribute to the group's survival during crises particularly frustrates her, and she does not hesitate to confront him about his lack of effort vocally.


Versus

Nyudo's face resembles that of a blobfish. He has 4 small eyes and a big mouth with sharp teeth. He wears a cape that's plain on the outside and chequered like a chessboard on the inside, and it's held in place by two buttons attached to a ribbon. He also wears a ring on each of his finger and a robe.

Nyudo is very sadistic; He tortures humans and even uses them as chess pieces to force them to kill each other.


Versus

Old Man Gio appears to be an elderly man. He has a bald head with visible wrinkles on the face and a stern expression. His right eye is covered by a circular device that resembles an eyepiece, attached to a strap that goes around the head. He also has prominent ears. Gio is wearing what appears to be a some kind of work vest over a simple shirt along with pants and boots. His right arm has what looks like a self-constructed prosthetic arm with a mechanical claw in place of a hand.

Old Man Gio appears to be a seasoned individual, one who has witnessed much yet often stays on the periphery of involvement. He exhibits an interest in engaging in discussions, despite not always being regarded with seriousness. Predominantly, he adopts a reserved and watchful stance, keenly observing the other humans, though he occasionally shows an inclination to contribute when he deems it appropriate. His demeanor suggests a reluctance to intrude upon or inconvenience others, and he seems to not want to fight unnecessary battles.


Versus

Oppo had a large, heavy body type, a round hairless spiky head with no eyes, and a wide mouth with spiky teeth. He also had a long, thick tail with a mace-like tip. He wore simple spiked armor that protected his shoulders, and a type of underpants. Upon transformation, Oppo's body appearance slims down and becomes visibly more muscular, and the mace-like tip of his tail transforms into another huge mouth with sharp teeth with his tail gaining a lot of mass as well, indicating that his heavy body mass is transferred to his tail.

Not much is known about his personality. Oppo didn't seem to communicate like his fellow 11th Division Combat Executives, and his only words were "Kill enemy", indicating that his mind is either very simple or he couldn't speak as well as the others. Oppo seemed to be another confident and proud combat executive of the demon army, just doing what he was ordered to do.


Versus

Pakkya is a tall, young looking man with brown skin, sharp eyes, short spiky red-green hair, sharp teeth and prominent muscles that show off his strong physique. He also has a scar on his forehead and a few scars around his body. He has a medium length fur skirt around his waist that appears to be tied on with a rope.

Pakkya is a hot-headed and impatient individual; He immediately grabs Zaybi after hearing Zaybi doesn't have a specific plan to turn natural enemies against each other. After learning the titans are coming, he also demands to face them head-on right after. Later, he rushes out to battle Demons immediately after learning of their arrival. Pakkya seems to have quite an appetite judging from his dream about getting lots of food.
Despite his primal nature, Pakkya is surprisingly smart and has heightened battle senses. When carrying Hallow to escape from Kiva , Pakkya runs away from castle to Hallow 's surprise to lure them towards their direction. During the run afterwards on Bastz 's vehicle, Pakkya quickly reacts to prevent it from being turned over after Kiva falls on top before promptly kicking him out.

Panepane is an odd-looking fairy. His main distinguishing features are that he has a body of a baby with hairy legs, a pig's nose, and two antennae atop his head. Panepane also has hooves for feet and a protruding belly button. The only thing he wears is white briefs.

Panepane's personality can be easily described through both cowardice and loyalty. While he seems to be a coward who does not want to get involved in any fights, he also follows Hallow in his endeavors, even if they might seem suicidal, showing high loyalty for the hero.


Versus

Peio's physique is lean, but strong, complemented by strong eyebrows and short, dark hair concealed beneath a peaked cap. Adorned in a service dress uniform typical of male officers, he secures it at the waist with a belt. His ensemble features a jacket over a dark shirt that rises to cover his neck, matched with trousers and boots to complete the look.

Peio is initially the sole communicator among humans regarding the situation in the Parasitica world while Cartel remains silent. He exhibits caution and concern, fearing that people underestimate the threat posed by parasites . Peio disapproves when others fail to take parasites seriously and is even one of the male humans engaged in debates about whose natural enemy is the most formidable. However, alongside Cartel, he possesses expertise in handling parasite-related scenarios. In an effort to maintain trust, Peio is willing to reveal his secret anti-parasite capsules to the other allied humans.

Pow appears indifferent to the fate of other beings, prioritizing the Madalans' objectives above all else. Pow is content to observe from a distance as Galua confronts the demons . Pow also seems to consider the Madalan's body to be much more advanced than that of other creatures, comparing other beings to amoeba and using this as an insult. Pow exhibits a pronounced skepticism towards unexpected outcomes, as evidenced by their initial disbelief in Daikokuzan 's capability to destroy their spaceship. However, Pow is open to test out situations when they deviate from the supposedly predicted results, although, directly confronting the mega kaiju seemingly resulted in Pow being sidelined for the remainder of the battle, suggesting that Pow can underestimate its enemies.

Uki has also expressed surprise when Galua 's "Pew Pew Pew" technique was nullified by Kiva, as well as when their massive space warship was destroyed by Daikokuzan , or when Pow crashed into the ground due to the mega kaiju.
Uki expresses supreme confidence in its abilities as a superior organism. When questioned by Jachi whether Uki was responsible for the massacre of the demon army, Uki instantly tries to kill Jachi simply because he couldn't be bothered to speak with an inferior creature. Once Jachi begins to overpower Uki's regular form, the Madalan transforms into its Space Plate: Shinra state to overpower Jachi and sully the demon's prideful attitude. However, when faced with Jachi's true power, Uki's confident demeanor disappeared. After taking a single blow from Jachi, it immediately attempted to flee and request backup. Even after having been beaten and brought to a near-death state, Uki expresses disbelief that a primitive organism could outmatch the Madalan. In its final moments, Uki entered its Space Plate: Brawns mode to battle Jachi and establish its superiority over the demon before being killed.

Vinland Saga

Asgeir is a man of average build, with long hair, a mustache, and a braided beard. His weapon of choice appears to be a sword, although he is often seen carrying a dagger on his belt as well. However, he is rarely depicted to be actively fighting in the manga. Asgeir's main quality appears to be his intelligence because he is oftentimes shown giving advice to and watching over Thorkellー or being in charge of battle strategics (as seen in the Eastern Expedition arc).

Regarding his personality, he appears to be rather calm and collected in most scenes where he interacts with other characters. However, once Thorkell enters the picture he easily forgets his calm façade and becomes really emotional and hot-tempered. He is often shown yelling at Thorkell and becoming easily worried and even panicked when Thorkell is in danger.


Vinland Saga

As a child, Askeladd's chin-length wavy light blond hair was parted in the middle and worn loose. His eyes were light blue. His eyebrows were already rather thick, flicking out upwards at the outer edges. He was always plastered black and white with residue from his various jobs, earning himself the nickname of "the Ashen Lad". Askeladd wore trousers and a short-sleeved tunic belted over a long-sleeved shirt with a piece of fabric. Being very poor, his clothing was frayed and dirty, and he wore no footwear. After being taken in by his father at the age of 11, Askeladd is noticeably cleaner and wears nicer clothing. His appearance is similar when he arrives on the shores of Wales at age fourteen, though his hair is shorter and less noticeably parted.
Askeladd in his early 20s can be seen in a very brief flashback, likely at the Battle of Maldon in 991. He looks much the same as he does later in adulthood, including his clothing, though his goatee does not include a moustache. Adult Askeladd is first seen in the present-day Vinland Saga timeline in his early 30s. As an adult, Askeladd is an average-sized Viking warrior, standing at 170cm and weighing in at 65kg. He is muscular but lean, an expected build for such a fast man, though his stature belies his incredible strength. His eyes are light blue, and his hair remains light blond in adulthood, telling of his Welsh and Danish heritages. He wears it short and slicked back. His eyebrows are thick and flicker upwards at the outer edges, and he styles his facial hair in a small, neatly groomed goatee.
Askeladd's other features include heavy eyelids (which make his unimpressed facial expressions particularly obvious), prominent cheekbones, sunken cheeks, an aquiline nose and a creased brow. He is often shown frowning, cocking one eyebrow, and/or wearing a sly smirk, often showing teeth. Adult Askeladd is typically pictured in the same warrior's outfit: a light, cowl-neck gambeson with detailing on the sleeve fringes (hooded and red in some of the anime), belted over a dark long-sleeved shirt tied at the wrists, dark trousers, and dark boots hitting right below the knee. He typically wears an impressive dark breastplate, reminiscent of the Roman tradition, as well as a scabbard and his sword at his left hip. He occasionally wears a dark capelet and gloves, and a heavier long cape in colder weather.
As he grows older throughout the series, Askeladd's widow's peak becomes more pronounced as his hair thins, leading Thorfinn to occasionally call him names such as "baldy" and "pointy hair". His face also becomes more heavily lined as he approaches his mid-40s. After the battle against his own men, he gains a visible scar above his right eye.

Askeladd is a sly, manipulative, cunning and charismatic man. Being an excellent swordsman, he is a great fighter, his biggest strength however lies in his intelligence and ability to strategize and adapt, a skill bolstered by his ability to know what kind of person someone is simply by looking at their face. He is quick to act and seize what he wants, yet slow to anger. As a captain, his bands look up to him as a bold and lucky person worthy of leading.
Askeladd took care of his mother from a very young age, living in squalor and working very hard with no complaint. Witnessing how his mother and her people (the Welsh) were mistreated by the Norse and the English led Askeladd to despise his Scandinavian heritage and to embrace the Romano-Celtic heritage of his mother. He grew up with his mother telling him of their ancestor Artorius and how the great hero would someday come back to save their people from their plight, a belief he wistfully holds on to in adulthood (though he later decides anyone can play the role and puts his hopes in Canute).
From a young age, Askeladd shows his ability to plan ahead, convincingly play a role, and patiently wait for his opportunity to strike. He is an expert at maintaining a facade, typically acting arrogant and giving off the impression of simply being bored, amused, unaffected or entertained by the things happening around him. This often allows him to lower the guard of his foes, thus giving him the opportunity to shape the situation to his advantage and seize victory.
As a Viking, Askeladd seems to hold remuneration and riches in high esteem, whether it be for their own sake, for amusement, or as a means to an end. He is not above using underhanded methods to reach his goals, even if that includes breaking a Warrior's Oath. He uses violence and murders with no hesitation if it is of benefit to him and his plans. He is often cold-hearted: unbothered by seeing his own men dying in battle (or by having to kill them himself after they turn on him); coldly ordering the massacre of an entire village full of defenseless people; denying a dying man's last request after ordering his assassination; and seemingly not caring if Thorfinn dies.
Askeladd however also seems to have a less dark side. He avenged the person he saw as partially responsible for his mother's misery and cared for her until her death, remaining easily angered by taunts to her station even decades later. He cares for the welfare of the people of Wales, scheming to keep them safe from both the Norse and the English. Unlike the rest if his Viking band, he does not seem to revel in violence simply for violence's sake outside of battles and duels, or to seek some of the typical indulgences of the Viking lifestyle — he is never shown drunk, fighting for no purpose, or claiming women after raids. He sends Atli off with advice and a golden bracelet despite he and his brother Torgrim turning on him previously and gives the dying Bjorn a warrior's death by granting him a duel. When Bjorn tells Askeladd he just wanted to be his friend, Askeladd allows him to know he really was his only friend before he dies. After being forced to kill King Sweyn in order to save both Canute and Wales, a fighting Askeladd yells at Thorfinn to stay out of things, a moment of inattention that costs him his life. His last words to Thorfinn are wise advice rather than taunts. He tells him to let go of things and move on, and that his real battle is to be a true warrior and go farther than Thors did.

In his final moments, he still displayed a strong fighting spirit and challenged Askeladd to a duel, even while knowing that he stood no chance against him, as he was covered with injuries

Vinland Saga

Canute is first introduced with long blond hair, large blue eyes, pouty lips, and a feminine-looking face. Up to his late teens, he is often confused for a girl. [6] [7] [8] His beautiful likeness left many of his men wondering if he was the reincarnation of their goddess Freyja.
After becoming king, Canute cut his hair short, forming a bob haircut, and grew some facial hair on his chin. Below his left eye is a scar that was left by Thorfinn . [9] In his next appearance, he cut his hair shorter than before, grew a beard that formed a goatee, and wore a cape and a circlet very often.

Although initially timid, weak and always hiding behind Ragnar, Canute later begins to stick up for himself as Thorfinn constantly puts him down. Wanting revenge on his father for being secretly marked for death, Canute develops a more commanding and demanding personality. This was brought out by Askeladd's assassination of Ragnar, whom he wanted to eliminate as he was standing in the way of Canute's emotional maturity. Even Thorkell once commented on how Canute had the same mysterious eyes as his old comrade Thors, when he finally became a ‘true warrior’.
Later on, Canute becomes a clever and manipulative character who doesn't hesitate to get rid of anyone getting into his way of building a paradise on Earth for the Vikings. He even goes as far as poisoning his own brother to rule Denmark, plotting against Ketil to create a pretext to take his lands and increase his profits and even ordering the slaughter of several innocent people to get those lands.
Canute has also started to suffer hallucinations about his father, to the point of even having conversations with him.

Vinland Saga

Drott is a large and imposing man with dark red hair. He wears chainmail armour with a blue top that reaches down to his knees, grey pants, a black undershirt over his armour, and a beady necklace. The right side of his face is gauged with three deep scars, likely received from a bear as Drott's nickname is "Bear-Killer". The scars are covered by an eyepatch, suggesting he likely lost his eye in the same incident.

Drott is extremely brutish and intimidating. He is very biased toward the people he views as weak, but has respect for the people who earn it. Drott could likely be seen as a bully, as he constantly insults Thorfinn for his status as a slave and his short stature. He appears to be a prideful man with a strong sense of dignity. Drott also has a strong sense of honour, as shown when he apologizes to Thorfinn and acknowledges him as a warrior upon losing to him, before agreeing to let him pass to see Canute as agreed.

Vinland Saga

Floki has fair hair which unlike that of other Vikings is kept trimmed to medium length. His beard is also trimmed to form a rectangle, giving his face a square-like appearance, and he doesn't have eyebrows. He has a large scar running down the right side of his face reaching down to his lip. He dresses in the same attire as his Jomsviking crew, although after his initial appearance when he was wearing a helmet, it has since been depicted without it.
After the War in the Baltic, he is now missing three of his fingers, cut off by an enraged Thorfinn.

Floki's only redeeming quality is that he genuinely cares for his grandson Baldur.
He is an extremely ambitious, cold and calculating man who'd stop at nothing to make Baldur chieftain of the Jomsvikings, despite Baldur having absolutely no interest in the chieftaincy.
Floki can also be very spiteful and petty. He held a grudge against Thors for many years, and eventually had Thors assassinated because of it.


Vinland Saga

Flott is a blond adult man with a full, but short, beard. His hair is parted in the middle. When he was first found by Vargar , he was emaciated and dirty.

Flott was an inhabitant of Markland , participating in trade with the Lnu . As the Lnu seemed fond of red fabric, Flott asked Vargar to bring some back from Greenland on his next regular delivery. Come spring, the natives stopped coming to the village. Two weeks later, they turned hostile and started raining arrows on Markland day and night, though they never came into the village. Flott told the other villagers he would go back to Greenland; the others discussed rebuilding the settlement elsewhere. Eventually, they left Flott behind. Flott spent his days running from the Lnu's arrows, eventually getting shot in the behind. He hid in the mountains, eating fruits and berries. In the early summer, he heard Thorfinn banging on pots, but thought it must be the natives. One day, while by the river catching fish, Flott saw a native wash up and assumed something happened in a village upstream. He went up the river to investigate and found all of the natives dead, left without a burial. Thorfinn and the others find out from Flott that the Lnu succumbed to disease. Styrk deduces that they got the disease from interacting with the people of Markland, and attacked them because they concluded the disease came from the Nords. They used arrows because they were too afraid to get close.


Vinland Saga

Ga'aoqi has a pronounced receding hairline, medium-length dark hair, and no eyebrows. He wears face paint; a white line from his forehead to the tip of his nose, a vertical white line on his chin, and four diagonal lines (two light and two dark) on each cheek. He wears a thin headdress with three dark feathers on each side, and a short cape made of dark feathers.

Ga'aoqi appears to have a fascination with Norse items, particularly the sword brought by Ivar , which he refers to as a "Big Knife." He believes that obtaining it for his tribe would provide them with an advantage in their "war" against the Nordic settlers. Much like Garm , he displays a straightforward, restive and ruthless demeanour, although not as playful and humorous. His brutality is further evidenced by his tribe's actions of killing a settler and a pregnant woman, burning their house down, and casually asking the fatally injured pregnant settler about the whereabouts of the "big knife", in contrast to the other tribes that at least held gatherings to discuss matters of war with Miskwekepu’j before resorting to direct conflict (which Ga’aoqi believes are just playing friends before fighting). Ga’aoqi shows unwavering determination in his quest to locate the sword by approaching the home in which Gudrid is giving birth, as he casually denies his tribe member’s request to engage Cordelia in a one-on-one fight and instead orders the members to “get back to work” and use their bows and arrows for a quick kill, without a shred of hesitance.


Vinland Saga

Ganglati is large. He has red hair and a thick red beard. He wears a red bandana on his head and has a purple face tattoo in the shape of a triangle spanning from the middle of his forehead to both of his cheekbones.

Vinland Saga

Gardar was a man with a large stature, loose hair and scars all over his body, as a result of his time as a slave and a warrior.

Gardar desperately wanted to find and make amends with his wife and son.


Vinland Saga

Garm is a young man of average height and a lanky build. He keeps his hair in a 'spiked up" style and has sparse eyebrows. In the latter half of the Eastern Expeiditon Arc, he's shown wearing a headband. Garm always has his custom-made spear with him.

Garm can be considered as a psychopath. He thinks of killing as a fun game and genuinely does not understand why Thorfinn would not want to kill people anymore. In a lot of ways, Garm is quite similar to Thorkell in his love of combat as they both constantly search for a real challenge. Garm is quite simple in his behavior, only wishing to fight strong opponents and enjoy the thrill of battle, claiming that there is nothing better than a fight to the death. He generally seems to be a bit of a death seeker as he remarks at the end of his first fight with Thorfinn that he really thought that he'd be the one who might be able to kill him in combat. This can be seen again at the end of his fight against Thorkell, with him telling Thorkell that the next time they fight, Thorkell should finish the job and kill him.

Garm is always full of himself.

Garm has also a very cocky and cheeky personality. He loves being at the center of attention. He is prone to making himself as much noticeable as possible and loves putting on a show, as seen when he dropped his identity as a spy just to reveal himself in a flashy way in front of everyone. He also likes playing the role of a villain, as seen when he kidnapped Leif , Einar , and Gudrid , and left only Bug-Eyes behind to leave him with a message for Thorfinn, to force Thorfinn to join the coming battle at Jomsburg on the side of the attacking forces, because Garm wanted to face Thorfinn in battle again. Garm is very reckless in that regard. He killed and beheaded Jomsviking commander Vagn even though his mission was was to kill Thorfinn, although as he himself said, he did it because he thought that he was helping Floki , being unaware that he also angered Thorkell by doing so. Despite the fact that Floki shoved Garm's recklessness into his face by calling him out for his action, Garm disregarded that immediately by telling Floki that he can kill Thorkell and how Vagn's head is proof of that. Even when Floki warned Garm that if he kills Thorkell, King Canute will react and how they would have to face the combined might of Denmark and England, Garm disregarded the danger of that as well and told him that he would kill King Canute and every enemy they would have to face as well. Despite Garm's cockiness, he is smart and skilled enough to notice and eliminate assassins, is a efficient hunter and tracker, and can generally gauge a person's level of strength and skill by their demeanor. He's also good at spying under the enemy as he did so twice, killing Vagn, one of the principal Viking commanders, with ease. Garm is also an expert in combat.
Garm is quite blunt when expressing his opinions and desires and only seems to care about the thrills of combat. He has an utter dislike for the idea of living a peaceful life as a farmer. Throughout his second interaction with Thorfinn, Garm claims that he is his friend implying that he has a warped idea about the meaning of friendship as if it is something only relating to combat. This says a lot about how he views people, with those that are worthy opponents being his friends, and him having no respect for those who he considers weak. In fact, he does not seem to know much about life outside of fighting and the idea of a normal life disgusts him.

He typically wears a fur-lined cape and carries his trademark chain partially looped around his neck with the rest coiled around his right arm.

Halfdan has a well-earned reputation for his ruthlessness and cruelty. This is reflected in his stated philosophy that chains, both literally and figuratively in the form of the law, serve to make man better. He is a slave owner and sought to punish his slave who had escaped to Thorfinn 's village by torturing him before his other slaves as an example. Halfdan is also feared by his own men, showing no hesitation with using his chain to discipline one of them when he ridiculed the validity of the law.
As he has aged, Halfdan has retained his viciousness but also become more cunning by lending to poor or stricken farmers and foreclosing on their land when they are unable to repay him and turning them into his figurative slaves. His prime motivation as a moneylender is the enjoyment he derives in buying men's pride and being able to strip it from them as an exercise in power.

Hild's right eye appears heavily scarred and bloodshot due to her falling from a cliff while escaping a Viking raid. Her hair is held back by a green bandana, to allow her ears not to be covered when she is hunting, although she starts wearing her hair down sometimes after forgiving Thorfinn, likely due to not seeing a need to keep her guard up as much. She is often seen wearing a big dark green cloak with her self-made crossbow by her side. According to the author, she has a six pack and a very strong body, trained by hunting. [4]

Ketil is a man in his mid-40s. He has a rather muscular build, but high body fat. He has long blonde hair and a bushy blonde beard. Due to his age, he is shown to have some wrinkles

Ketil in the anime

Ketil believes that even slaves are deserving of fair treatment, and gives his own slaves a chance to work for their freedom (with the exception of Arnheid). Despite being the owner of the farm, Ketil does not look down on his subordinates and instead works alongside them. He is typically shown as a jovial, confident, easy-going man.
Ketil's father, Sverkel , believes that Ketil is greedy and short-sighted, as he greatly expanded the farm beyond his capacities after inheriting it. The expanded farm requires much more protection, causing Ketil to give large tributes to King Sweyn in exchange for his royal protection, as well as requiring the hiring of many Guests to deter and catch thieves.
Despite appearing to be a just person, Ketil can be deceitful and reluctant to do the right thing. He spent a large portion of his life pretending he had been the infamous warrior known as "Iron Fist Ketil," actually taking another man's name and feats as his own to bolster his reputation. His false reputation is at odds with his behaviour, for example when he shows sadness upon hearing of Sture and Thora 's circumstances and is subsequently reluctant to punish them. He is shown to be terrified by his son Thorgil 's gleeful violent ideas for their punishment, but does not speak up to prevent it. Once their sentence is lessened due to Pater 's intervention, Ketil only intervenes after Thorgill has already severely injured Sture.
Ketil's typical pleasant behaviour quickly crumbles when he faces adversity or feels slighted. After his two sons murdered some of Canute 's men and he learned of the King's plans to appropriate his lands, Ketil was spirited back to his farm by Leif , but refused to leave the barrel he was hiding in even while at sea. Once he learned of Arnheid's attempt to escape with her husband Gardar , he took her actions as a personal betrayal despite her enslavement and reacted with extreme violence, beating her so severely that Snake had to intervene before he killed her. Arnheid, who had become pregnant as a result of Ketil's use of her as a sex slave, lost their child due to her injuries, and later succumbed to them.
Ketil acts rashly when he is blinded by rage, as seen when he decides to go up against Canute's elite forces and Jomsvikings despite only having a small fighting force of untrained subjects himself. He is willing to risk their lives and his own to hold on to what he has left, despite his nearly impossible odds of winning the fight.

His eyebrows also seem to have shrunk. This can be assumed as stress from how many travels he does on the sea, and for searching for Thorfinn for so long.

After Thors died, Leif blamed himself and made it his mission to find Thorfinn, who went missing and bring him back to his hometown. This continued for over a decade, showing how much Leif would go for a person he cares about and how he doesn't go back on his word, making him a loyal and kind-hearted person.

Snake in the anime

Snake is compassionate and a man of reason. During the Ketil's Farm arc, Snake often shows to be genuinely concerned for other people, free men and slaves alike. He has saved Thorfinn and other slaves countless times from brutal treatment with both reasons and his intimidating combat prowess.  However, due to the times he was brought up in, he still views slaves as beneath others and openly believes that their masters can do whatever they want with slaves.

Vinland Saga

King Sweyn is an old man with multiple skin problems. Although none of them are named, they are obvious. He is missing several teeth, has rather droopy features and many deep-set wrinkles; however, he's managed to keep a full head of black hair, not marred by any white. His beard is usually kept in two opposing spikes, and smoothed out, while his hair remains curly and unruly. Upon his head, he has a crown which he blames for becoming obsessed with power. This crown varies as he is both King of Danes and English; meaning he has 2 different crowns.

Sweyn can be best described as having a strong lust for power and domination. Not just because of all the land and people he controls, but by his ownership of the crown. He has no problem eliminating any threats or personal morals to make sure that he keeps his power over the Northern lands and England.
This domineering behaviour also finds its way to small trivial matters; when a young Canute presented his father with a dish that he had cooked, Sweyn lashed out at Canute telling him that cooking is a job for slaves, showing his narrow worldview and lack of being able emotionally connect with his children. Out of his children, Canute seems to be the one he bears the most resentment towards. He sees Canute as nothing more than a burden who is in the way of his older brother Harald. Canute even points out that he's aware that his father never loved him and that he wants him dead.
He believes the crown itself holds the king under its will and is what drives them to continue usurping more power. This happened to Sweyn's father and to Sweyn himself. He believes that this power hungry cycle will always continue for the one who holds the crown.
