'Vikings' season 5 episode 13: Bjorn meets an unlikely ally [Exclusive]

The episode offers a reunion of sorts between two alleged brothers, as viewers get a glimpse of Magnus, the alleged son of Ragnar and Queen Kwenthrith

The upcoming episode of 'Vikings' is titled 'A New God,' and that's not the only introduction to the show. More of a reunion of sorts between two alleged brothers, the episode offers viewers a glimpse of Magnus, the alleged son of Ragnar and Queen Kwenthrith. The History Channel show portrayed Magnus' backstory - specifically his past - to be quite a sad one, with him being asked to abandon his family and flee as a young boy. Magnus could be an ally to Bjorn.

Season 5 episode 13 of 'Vikings' finally allows Magnus' (Dean Ridge) re-entry into the spheres of whatever notion of family he has left - and that is his half-brother, Bjorn (Alexander Ludwig). In an official sneak peek, Magnus can be seen approaching Bjorn by saying, "We have much in common."
