Guthrum

Dour and relentlessly pessimistic, with a dry sense of humour, he is a cold-­hearted killer, but his belligerence hides a conflicted soul. He develops a fascination with Christianity, with surprising repercussions.

The Danish‐Swedish actor Thomas W. Gabrielsson completed his acting training at the Teatro Potlach in Rome.
