Product description: Petrov is an adventurer and mercenary travelling through lands and seas. He is a courageous warrior and thanks to his powerful stature, he is not afraid of wounds that would kill weaker people. Tjahzi is a dwarf who has been friends with Thorgal for years. He has a strong connection to magic and has extraordinary knowledge about this, as well as about other worlds. Vigrid is one of the minor deities residing in Asgard.
