Olaf, also known as Olaf the Stout, is one of the three main protagonists from the video game The Lost Vikings and it's sequel Lost Vikings 2: Norse by Norsewest.
Personality[]
Olaf is said to have a hardy constitution and a steadfast resolve. He is a dependable ally with an appetite for pastries and adventure. However, while the presence of his large physique is much appreciated in the heat of battle, he has a tendency to have unprovoked fits of laughter that make travelling with him somewhat tiresome.
History[]
The Lost Vikings[]
After a successful day of hunting with his brothers Erik and Baleog, Olaf was abducted by the Croutonian emperor Tomator to be an exhibit in his intergalactic zoo. However, Olaf soon discovered that his brothers were also taken aboard Tomator's spaceship and together sought to find their way back home. The trio eventually find a time portal on their journey which they use to explore different eras in history before returning to the spaceship much later to confront Emperor Tomator in battle. Working together, the vikings managed to defeat their kidnapper, but are forced to use a time portal once more when Olaf accidentally activated the ship's self-destruct sequence. The portal sent them back to earth where they are finally reunited with their families.
In the game, Olaf can use his shield to defend against enemy attacks, act as a platform for his allies, and glide around in midair.
Lost Vikings 2: Norse by Norsewest[]
Olaf, Erik and Baleog were sailing home after a fishing trip when they are suddenly abducted again by the vengeful Emperor Tomator. The alien monarch orders his robot guard to transport the trio of vikings to an arena using a time/space modulation device, but a power outage gave the vikings a chance to attack the robot, dismantling it and taking it's parts. As the party admired their newly required equipment, Olaf pulls a lever on the time/space modulation device which caused all three siblings to become lost within the passage of time once again.
They travel across different eras and receive help from their new allies Fang the Werewolf and Scorch the Dragon in hopes of returning to the present. However they are eventually tracked down by Tomator whom fights the vikings using a hovercraft. Olaf and his brothers managed to defeat the Croutonian emperor once more and revealed him to be a human child in disguise. Tomator was then forced by his parents to return the vikings to their own time period along with their friends Fang and Scorch.
Olaf's previous abilities have been upgraded in this game. He can release a poof of flatulence while gliding for further airtime and break certain floors with his weight. He can also shrink to go through small gaps.
