Jordan Patrick Smith plays Ubbe in Vikings (Image: AMAZON PRIME) READ MORE However, during their visit to Iceland, Ubbe was introduced to a wanderer called Othere (Ray Stevenson). Othere told the tale of a 'golden land’ to the west, presumably land which today is present-day America. The idea of the golden land inspired Torvi and Ubbe to keep exploring a world beyond Kattegat. Othere also revealed to Ubbe he was once a Christian monk named Athelstan (George Blagden), the same name of a character killed by Floki back in season three. For Ubbe, Othere's former name suggested he had some form of connection to the missing Flokki.
