New World has mixed many mythologies and real-life events into the one singularity that is the island of Aeternum and King Arthur's legend is among those.
In this instance, he is referred to as King Artorius and even though the inspiration may be looser than you may think, he does have knights of the Round Table and they are not faring well in Aeternum.
This is the case with the commander of the Varangians, who seems like a really chill dude, as seen in the image below.
The short overview presented a few facts about the commander who grew up adoring Artorius but apparently didn't hear about the fact that you shouldn't meet your heroes.
For the commander, the falling out didn't happen immediately as he served faithfully as one of the King's knights all the way until they ventured into Aeternum. Here, the two had a fight, the commander was banished and is now crazed with desire for vengeance.
The commander remains unnamed for the moment and the only things known about him are that he is allied to Ser Loth and that he commands a group of mutated Varangians who are showcasing their cold powers left and right.
Players will be able to find the commander of the Frostbound after the update on December 12, 2023, as they continue the main story quest.
