This Norseman carries the flag of Skult's village.  Severed hands and eyes decorate the flag and on the whole it is quite gruesome. When asked about the flag's grisly imagery Skult said, "Well, the Norse are a violent people." The infamous raiding, or viking, that the Norse are known for started late in the 8th century AD, though it is likely that the raids started within their own waters before extending to England, Ireland and Europe.
