Thors is the father of Thorfinn, a Jomsviking general whose phenomenal combat prowess earns him the epithet "The Troll of Jom". Thors grows weary of battle after the birth of his children, fakes his own death, and retires to become a pacifist farmer. The Jomsvikings later discover that Thors is alive and force him to return to the battlefield. Before he can arrive at the theater of war he is betrayed by a former comrade, Floki, who hires Askeladd to assassinate him. Thors is largely considered the greatest fighter to appear in the series, having defeated the likes of Askeladd and Thorkell in single combat. Such was his strength that Floki was unwilling to engage him directly, even with an entire squadron of Jomsviking warriors. Unlike his son, Thors has no explicit or implied historical basis.
Ragnar is the main adviser for Prince Canute. Ragnar is bald apart from very long, black, curly hair on the sides of his head. He has very thick black eyebrows that lie close to his deep-set eyes. His wrinkles are also very deep, especially in his cheeks, just above his thick beard. He consciously keeps his face under control, even during the moment of death; however, when he gets angry, his entire frame shakes and he curls his fists up into balls. (Source: Wikipedia)
Elgala is the third agent of ACROSS and Excel's rival for Ilpalazzo's affections. She is cursed with the inability to maintain an internal monologue, constantly speaking aloud her innermost thoughts and feelings. Since Elgala is a snob who thinks nearly everyone is below her, these thoughts are often of the disparaging variety and frequently irritate Excel. Elgala has refined, and expensive tastes, which does not suit the austerity demanded by Excel, leading to frequent conflict. Adding to tension with Excel is the secrecy surrounding Elgala's missions for Ilpalazzo. Elgala only appears in the manga.
