Lork

Lork was a Viking warrior who fought under his leader Rollo in 9th century England.

Biography

Lork used to fight alongside Rollo's father until he passed and was later sworn to fight for Rollo. Although not too keen to follow Rollo, he chose not to dishonor himself when he left for Valhalla. Traveling to Essexe and fighting with Rollo, Lork followed his leader after they were asked by Ealdorman Birstan and his wife Estrid to "kidnap" her in order for her to escape her loveless marriage. However, the plan was unsuccessful as Estrid remained in Essexe. After Rollo left his company to drink and "have fun" in Colcestre, his camp was attacked by Saxon soldiers while Lork hid from the attack. Along with Gerhild, Lork was tied up by a remaining warrior while the rest of the company was captured.^[1]

Upon his return, Rollo and his new ally, Eivor Varinsdottir of the Raven Clan saw most of his warriors gone and Lork and Gerhild tied up. Believing there was a traitor, Rollo asked Eivor to interrogate the two warriors. After talking with both Lork and Gerhild, Eivor presented her findings to Rollo as she also accused one of them as the traitor. From there, Rollo and Eivor then set out to find and rescue his warriors at Port Walton.^[1]

Behind the scenes

Depending on Eivor's choices, Lork either died by Rollo's hand after Eivor accused him of being a traitor^[1] or died trying to protect Estrid and Rollo from escaping to Francia.^[2]
