Biography[]
At some point in the past, Hrothgar and the rest of the Knudsen clan came to the Forest of Nott to find the Medallion of Sigurd.
When first seen, Hrothgar, along with the rest of the clan, has been trapped in an endless fight against their rivals, Torgund's clan, over the medallion. Each night the two clans fight, after which the winners take the Medallion, and Sigurd secretly brings the defeated vikings back to life so they can reclaim the medallion.
Hrothgar is seen participating in a battle twice; the first time his clan has the medaillion, and due to the loss of fear they are too reckless to put up a smart fight and are all killed. The following day, however, Sigurd revives them with a potion, which also restores their fear and erases their memories of the last battle. With their fear restored, the Knudsen fight much better the second time around and take the medallion from Torgund's clan. They are not seen again after this fight, leaving Hrothgar's fate unknown.
