The Viking Hersir (a noble in Scandinavian society, similar to a later European knight) is the elite among the elite. His accoutrements of war reflect this, as he carries a sturdy shield and a sword (Little Armory Viking sword). He also wears a fine helm (BrickForge Viking helmet) and a mail corselet, protecting his torso and upper arms.
*The mail design is based on TwoTonicKnight's original design.
