Asbjorn is one of the heroes in Viking Conquest. He is a Danish pagan. In the campaign mode, he can be recruited for free in the mead halls of Ribe after the Thing has been concluded before sailing to England with the fleet. If you choose to side with West Seaxe in the campaign mode, he will leave your party permanently if you don't have a high enough relationship with him. In the sandbox mode, he can be found in any random mead hall.

Roles to play

In the beginning of the game, he is the best doctor to start with due to high level in surgery, wound treatment and first aid, but in the mid-term, Brunhild could become his equal. But in the long term, Asbjorn could be outmatched by Agathinos due to his higher starting intelligence.

His role in combat is very versatile, he can a be a decent warrior, skirmisher, archer or cavalry unit, depending on which skills the player invests skill points. But in the beginning, he is decent skirmisher and rider.

Introduction

"I think it's a good time to introduce myself officially, since it is likely that our paths are attached. I am Asbjorn from Odinsve, and I am a Loeknir, a simple doctor who wasted some time in Frankia until I returned to Danmark some months ago."

"On my way back to Odinsve, I landed in Ribe and ended up staying here for a few months, serving the local elites -- and not so elites. I guess my services earned me enough prestige to be summoned as althing in the Assembly held a few days ago."

"The truth is, I was not interested in coming back to the Odinsve so soon, for I am still young and have the opportunity to travel to other places and learn more. The Norns must have noticed and tied together our fates. You need someone who dress the wounds of your warriors, and I need someone with your fortune, that shines above the rest of the men I've known."

"I am glad. I am young, and my thirst for knowledge knows no limits. I hope our travels will help increase my experience."

"It is very interesting how the Norns spin their yarn. Until a few days ago, before the Assembly, I thought I would return home to Odinsve, to end my days remedying wounds and sniffles. Then I met you, and I knew that all this would change."

Trivia

• Functionally speaking, Asbjorn holds Jeremus's position in terms of his role as a healer and his similar distaste for Agathinos, who in turn holds Artimenner's position.
