- “You are too good, too pure, too innocent, and it will get you or someone you love killed.”
- ―Viggo's final advice to Hiccup
Viggo Grimborn is the feared leader of Dragon Hunters and the main antagonist in the second part of DreamWorks Dragons: Race to the Edge. In the final season, Viggo was able to be redeemed and learnt to respect dragons as equals before his death.
Appearance[]
Personality[]
Abilities and Powers[]
Though being a regular human with no special powers or abilities, Viggo does have a wide enough set of skills. Like intelligence, as it aids him with his dragon information controlled, dragon hunting and leadership. As well as strong and has his own fighting skills as Viggo is shown to have been trained in unarmed combat and knows how to use a sword and other weapons like daggers.
Weapons[]
Even when Viggo prefers to use his mind to outwit and fight his enemies, he still carries a short but rather solid and heavy sword on him. He also has daggers and later crafts his own fire sword.
Role in the Crossover[]
Viggo's dragon hunting, striking fear into the hearts of his men and defeating Hiccup without removing his sword from it's sheave is what got Drago and Pitchs' attention. Drago gets more dragon for his army, Pitch's Nightmares can feed on the fear he leaves behind and Viggo can help them to take down the Big Four. Given his nature as a business man, odds of him carrying any sort of loyalty to such allies is very minimal.
Relationships[]
Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III[]
As Hiccup's newest adversary, Viggo challenges him in ways he never has been before. He is impressed by the young Viking's intellect and sees him as a worthy opponent, unlike other villains Hiccup has faced. Viggo tests Hiccup's intelligence, and even manipulates him to his advantage, leaving the young Viking extremely frustrated. However, he does honor Hiccup's request to give Astrid the only known cure for the Scourge of Odin.
In "Triple Cross" Viggo seeks revenge and asks Hiccup to help him perform it. When Johann and Krogan dropped a mountain on him and a Monstrous Nightmare saved him. From then on he respected dragons as equals. He then tells Hiccup this, when it is released that he has 4 arrows in his body from the dragon hunters. He then sacrifices himself for Hiccup, and most likely dies shortly after.
Jack Frost[]
Viggo would underestimate Jack initially for his perceived lack of intelligence. As a nature spirit, Jack sympathizes with dragons and sabotages the dragon hunters' efforts to capture or kill them. Viggo only begins to take Jack seriously as a threat when he sees a display of his true power.
Merida DunBroch[]
Viggo would regard Merida with caution, depending on which version of her is used. As a princess, for example, she would have some power to interfere with his trading routes and damage his profits. Even in AUs where she does not have this leverage, however, she is still a skilled fighter he would need to be wary of.
Rapunzel Corona[]
Viggo admires intelligence. He'd respect Rapunzel's book learning, but gladly take advantage of her naiveté. Before his face-heel-turn, there is a chance he would want to profit off of her magical hair, much like the Stabbington brothers planned to.
Ryker Grimborn[]
Ryker is Viggo's older brother. Despite being younger, Viggo leads the Dragon Hunters. He does appear to care for Ryker, despite giving him orders and shunning his ideas, taking advantage of Ryker's familial loyalty. Heather claims that Ryker, like the rest of his men, fear Viggo.
Heather[]
Viggo could tell right away that Heather was a spy, possibly because of Windshear. He used her not only to find the Flightmare, but to lure out the Dragon Riders. He did seem a bit disappointed that Heather was not a more worthy opponent. When she was captured, it is possible Viggo made arrangements to have Heather executed.
Dagur the Deranged[]
Viggo treated Dagur the same as the Dragon Hunters. He was seen playing Maces and Talons with Dagur. While he did seem slightly impressed by Dagur's strategy, he still managed to win. It is unknown if Viggo is aware that Dagur freed Heather, but it is most likely, since he sent hunters to pursue Dagur.
