ARDALION - merchant from Kievan Rus’. Yngvar met him when he was 20 and they had an affair. He comes to trade in Nordland.

SAM - a lawyer; he is always at the marketplace telling people his stories.

JOEL - a monk from Aidan’s monastery, also a slave; he ran away from abusive parents and decided to enter the monastery since no other place took him in. the Dean like him a lot because Joel sucks up to him and takes a special interest in apologetics

FRANKIE - Sicilian merchant, trading wine

THE DEAN -  is an Anglo-Saxon priest. Aedgar’s and Aidan’s former teacher.  Eyolf would try to help him to make him feel less frustrated and try to heal his impotence

TOM - Tom and his family would be part Greenlandic Inuit instead of Aleut, whale hunters, a Russian trader in his genealogy
