Is there Thorfinn in this game

[Nanami]

Just watched VInland Saga so I thought its pretty cool if he's in this game even if he isnt playable

I don't believe so. It looks like he would have lived between the two existing start times. Searching shows there's aod for that era for CK2, so there may be a mod somewhere for CK3

Do you know his dynasty name? The Haukdaelir family clan is in the history files with Ketilbjorn as the founding member (you can play him in CK2) and that may be his grandfather but I haven't watched the movie and I'm not the biggest fan of Swedish history so idk. If that is him you might be able to play as a dynasty member?

Thorfinn's wiki page says his grandfather led a bunch of men to Iceland and that's what Ketilbjorn did, I'm just connecting dots.

I'm not sure Thorfinn is a historical character. A lot of the major characters in Vinland Saga are, but I think Thorfinn and some of the other main cast aren't.

He's based on a historical figure:

Considering the date is it a random character with the same name?

Anyways I searched about it a bit and I found thorfinn's expedition triggered the sunset invasion to happen in ck2, pretty cool actually

If the character is in the game, his name might begin with the thorn runic-derived letter instead of the modern th.
