The Vikings are villagers that spawn in island villages. These strong warriors can defend themselves against the mobs of the night. Perhaps the strongest of them all is the chieftain,who wields a double-sided battleaxe with the ferocity of a whirlwind.
The chieftain is a viking weapon smith. Although there are common viking weapon smiths, the chieftain provides higher quality goods for a greater price. He also gives more village reputation to players who complete trades (which lowers the prices of all trades in the village).
