Aniel Thorgalsson

Aniel Thorgalsson is a young member of the Thorgal family, bearing the surname of the legendary Viking wanderer Thorgal Aegirsson, suggesting he is Thorgal's son or close descendant within the Franco-Belgian saga's continuing story.

A newcomer to one of European comics' most beloved sagas, Aniel Thorgalsson made his debut in Thorgal #38 in 2020, brought to life by writer Yann and artist Frédéric Vignaux under the storied banner of Le Lombard. That surname says everything about the world he inhabits — he shares his pages with Thorgal Aegirsson himself, alongside Aaricia, Jolan, and Louve, a constellation of characters who have captivated readers of this Franco-Belgian epic for decades. Still early in his comics life with just a handful of appearances, Aniel is a fresh thread woven into a rich, long-running tapestry — exactly the kind of character that rewards readers who want to follow a saga from its newest chapters.
