Jarl Varg

Jarl Varg is the main antagonist of the Norwegian comedy series Norsemen. He is a cruel and sadistic warlord whose high-pitched voice and theatrical mannerisms belies a deadly and fearsome nature.

History
At some point prior to the series, Jarl Varg made a pact with Norheim's original chieftain Olav, the latter promising Jarl Varg a complete map to the west side of the world. However, Jarl Varg only has part of the map, not all of it. Jarl Varg and his men invade Norheim to retrieve the missing piece only to find Olav is dead, his brother Orm the new Chieftain. Orm, in his cowardice, allows Varg to imprison the other villagers while Varg searches for the map.

Orm and his right-hand man/slave Rufus attempt to impress Varg with their theater performace in their efforts to transform Norheim into a more artistic culture, but the much more noble Arvid and Freya free the villagers and fight back against Varg. In the battle, Varg's arms are cut off, and is given measly kitchen utensils for replacement prosthetics. Varg and his men ride away, but not before swearing revenge.

Varg later receives more proper prosthetics and conspires with the now-disgraced Orm to recover the map in exchange for Orm regaining his role as Chieftain. After a couple of failed attempts at retrieving the map including hiring a 'master thief', Varg and Orm execute their final plan; during a meeting of tribes, Jarl Varg makes a claim against Arvid that he was promised the full map to the west. However, Arvid persuades the other Chieftains that since Varg had killed some of his people during their raid, his request was denied. One of Varg's men offers a blade as tribute, but goads Arvid into attacking by making him believe it was the one he used to kill Olav (even though Orm was the actual murderer). Arvid is disgraced and exiled, and Orm is made Chieftain again, securing Varg's alliance with Norheim.

Varg returns to Norheim and Orm gives him the rest of the map, but is disappointed that the map to the west "only leads west". Arvid and Freya confront Varg who demands compensation for his lost arms. Orm offers Freya as a sacrifice, but Freya fights back against Varg. Unfortunately, while her back is turned, Varg reveals his prosthetic arms have concealed blades which he uses to stab and kill Freya. Satisfied with having both the map and his revenge, Varg leaves with his men and prepares to embark on his conquest.
