Viggo

Calm and collected, Viggo knows that knowledge equals power — especially when it comes to dragons!
Unlike his older, more outwardly barbaric brother, Viggo Grimborn prefers finesse to brawn. An expert trap designer and manipulator of friends and foes alike, Viggo always plays the long game for power. As such, he has developed a twisted plan to use dragons to trap other dragons and sell them to the highest bidder. Viggo often lets Ryker handle the dirty work, but is not above administering his own cruel and unusual punishments from time to time. The younger Grimborn will stop at nothing to obtain the Dragon Eye. And if the Dragon Riders cannot stop him from doing so, they will surely witness the devastation wrought when absolute knowledge falls into the wrong hands.

Viggo possesses an extensive expertise on dragons that rivals Hiccup's and may even be better. He often clashes with Hiccup and the riders over the Dragon Eye, which has belonged to his tribe of Dragon Hunters for centuries. Unlike his brother, Ryker, he's very intelligent, cunning, and incredibly devious. Viggo is a master tactician, using his intellect to outwit his enemies and having dangerously uncanny foresight. While caring for his brother, Viggo also takes pleasure in mocking him over his inferior intelligence and manners. He is also obsessed with the game Maces and Talons.

Viggo is ruthless and has a low tolerance for failures and betrayals.

Viggo wears a black leather tunic with red scales on his shoulders and around his waist. He also has spiked shoulder pads and a silver belt buckle with Dragon Hunters' tribal crest on it, and black wrist guards. He also wears a single holster strapped across his back. The holster is metal and looks like a dragon's head, with a jewel as an eye.

Viggo has short black hair, large brown eyes, thick lips, and a French cut beard. He has three scars on the left side of his neck supposedly from a dragon.

Unlike his brother, Viggo does not like using strength to defeat his opponents but relies on his intelligence to find a path to victory, as he has shown successfully.

• Acting: In "Triple Cross", Viggo acted and managed to fool Johann and Krogan for a short while.

• Intelligence: Viggo is extremely clever and noted by Hiccup as a master of deception who battles with his intellect. He is an expert at playing Maces and Talons, even managing to outwit Hiccup — though he admitted that Hiccup had exceeded his expectations and was a brilliant opponent. As an item belonging to his tribe, Viggo has intimate knowledge of the Dragon Eye and — by extension — dragons themselves, on par with Hiccup's.

• Dragon Hunting: Though he rarely puts himself in danger, Viggo is considered an elite Dragon Hunter, surpassing his brother and rivalled only by Krogan.

• Dragon Training: Viggo was able to capture many dragons, such as his Typhoomerangs, Flightmare, Terrible Terror, several Seashockers, and his Shellfire, and force them to do his bidding. After learning to respect dragons, Viggo was able to train a wild Skrill by calming it down with a metal dagger.

• Leadership: Despite being the younger brother, Viggo is the undisputed leader of the Dragon Hunters because of his cunning intellect and effective strategies. He always plans his moves before he makes them, often seeing his battles as a game of Maces and Talons. He leads the Dragon Hunters with respect and fear.

• Strength and Fighting Skills: Viggo is a skilled fighter as he managed to overpower Heather — a warrior on par with Astrid — effortlessly and with his bare hands. He is also shown to carry a large sword, which bears a slight resemblance to Hiccup's sword, Inferno, on his back, with no strain. Viggo has shown his strength to be able to hold Heather easily, but he was stated by his older brother that he is not as strong as Ryker. Despite this he was able to restrain Astrid herself in one episode. He also easily pushed back Johann when the lateral had a knife to his throat.

• Swordsmanship: Viggo is also skilled in swordsmanship as he briefly fought Hiccup with his own Fire Sword.

• Inventing: Similar to Hiccup, Viggo seems to have some knowledge of inventing new devices. He created most of the Dragon Hunting weapons and cages out of Dragon Proof Metal and created Project Shellfire. Sometime between the fifth and the sixth season of Dragons: Race to the Edge, Viggo made himself his own fire sword, due to admiring Hiccup's Inferno. He also made some improvements as he added Zippleback gas to his.

• Dragon Information Controlled: Viggo used the Dragon Eye to get a lot of information on dragons to control, such as he was able to control the Shellfire by wrapping the dragon with chains and a large boat and summoning a Submaripper using the vibrations of a dagger, by dropping it into the ocean, where the dragon was located

"They say there are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn't true, the other is to refuse to believe what is."

The name "Viggo" is Nordic in origin and it means "war" or "battle."Since Viggo is the leader of the Dragon Hunters, and he describes the Dragon Eye as "something that has belonged to my tribe for generations", he may be a chief. Further supporting this theory is the fact that he and his grandfather often played Maces and Talons together, and the game was designed to train future chiefs.

In almost every situation, his face bears a rather neutral expression, with the occasional smile or glare, reflecting his cool and collected nature.
