character information
● name: Heahmund
● canon: Vikings
● canon point: 5x07
● age: unstated, mid to late 30s approximately
● (canon) background: Wiki
● abilities: Heahmund is an expert swordsman but has no extraordinary abilities.
● strengths:
Devout: The clearest trait Heahmund has is his devotion to his faith. He believes deeply in the Word of God and that it's the only way and he cannot be swayed from his beliefs by anything or anyone else. When he speaks of God he becomes passionate, earnestly explaining his beliefs to Ivar. He even goes as far as to tell Ivar that he can show him the way to eternal life -- although, Ivar is the only Viking that he ever tries to convert and he otherwise believes it is God's will to kill them all. Heahmund's belief in God is what guides almost every decision that he makes, he trusts that his Lord is guiding his steps and that no matter if he is taken prisoner among Vikings it must be for a higher purpose.
Persuasive: Heahmund's extremely charismatic and persuasive when he wants to be. He's able to make whomever he's talking to want to believe what he says or is able to convince them to believe things they wouldn't normally believe. Heahmund begins to gain some Ivar's trust, or at least makes Ivar want to trust him as they go to war against Lagertha. He is very sly but the way he's able to imbue his voice earnestly, sincerely causes not only Ivar to start to believe in him but it also saves his life when he is captured by Lagertha. He uses his skills of persuasion to make her believe that he would side with her and that he believes she is special. This is more clearly a ploy to keep surviving but Lagertha seems none the wiser.
Strong-willed: Heahmund is very strong-willed, which is a double-edged sword. He's stubborn to a fault but his will is what keeps him alive. He never gives into doubt or worry because he believes that every step of his is intended and he does not let other dominant personalities bowl him over. He pushes back against Ivar, countering him despite the potential dangers of questioning a mad-man that has a tendency to press a knife against your face.
● weaknesses:
Hypocritical: Heahmund is very hypocritical. He is devout in his beliefs and yet at times they do not seem to apply to him the same way that they do others. Examples of this are that while he is a Bishop and has vows to the Church, he sleeps with widows after the funerals of their husbands. When Ivar asks him what evil is, Heahmund says that it is the slaughter of innocents. Ivar points out that Heahmund slaughters when it suits him. Heahmund says that those who chose to be heathen aren't innocent but the reasoning is still hypocritical at it's heart.
Ruthless: Heahmund is a vicious and ruthless warrior. When Ubbe and Hvitserk come to Aethelwulf in England to offer peace Heahmund is the one that is spearheading breaking the parlay. Not only do they not agree to peace but Heahmund makes sure to have the Vikings beaten before they are sent back to their side. Heahmund shows no mercy on the battlefield and becomes consumed by bloodlust when he fights.
Manipulative: Lastly, Heahmund is manipulative. Its hard at times to know when he is being honest even when he is being persuasive and earnest. He wants to live and that at times seems a bigger motivator than even his faith -- although, he finds those two things to be intertwined. With Lagertha, his manipulation of her is very clear, manipulating her weaknesses and her loneliness to ingratiate himself to her. He also uses the grief of widows to manipulate them into bed. Heahmund is skilled at seeing the weakness and others and turning it to his benefit.
