doodleboyWe meet Thorkell. Thorkell is a dane, a viking, but he defected well because.
Thorfinn's and Askeladd's relationship is one of the best things about the first arc of Vinland Saga. Thorfinn wants revenge on Askeladd (And I'll leave it to the manga to tell you why), but his honor as a viking is too strong for him to do so in a way other then honorable combat.
Despite Thorfinn being Askeladd's mortal enemy, his desire to kill him honestly makes him extremely loyal and trustworthy. Askeladd can always expect him to do the most dangerous missions. And since Thorfinn spent alot of his life following Askeladd, Thorfinn is dependent on Askeladd, and he's almost a mentor to him.
Ah... crap.
And the other reason Askeladd keeps Thorfinn around, he's expendable.
