Fox

Fox is a lean, blond man standing around 175 centimeters. Past his fair hair and wiry build, the series offers little detailed description of his features.

Fox is a hard, violent man who seems to take pleasure in cruelty. He carries a warped code about manhood, measuring it by a person's readiness to kill, and he thinks nothing of placing others in danger to serve his own ends. Empathy, above all toward the enslaved, is entirely missing from him.

Fox takes it upon himself to mold Ketil's son Olmar into a fighter, insisting the young man needs some killing experience to cross into manhood. He leads Olmar out and, through a string of encounters, pushes him to take a life, treating the farm's slaves as expendable material for the lesson. In the same stretch of the story he turns on Thorfinn and Einar, slashing Thorfinn again and again in an attempt to break him with fear, until Snake steps in and halts the beating.

His bonds on the farm reflect his nature. He works hand in glove with Badger, a man cut from the same cloth, and shows open contempt for Thorfinn and Einar, whom he regards as disposable because they are slaves. Toward his commander Snake, Fox displays a wary deference, backing off the instant Snake intervenes, whether out of respect or fear.
