Oleg of Novgorod or Oleg the Prophet was a legendary figure credited to be the founder of the powerful medieval kingdom of Kievan Rus and will appear on Vikings season 6

From Lagertha (Katheryn Winnick) getting the ending she deserves to exploring the three new worlds, a lot has been promised in the final installment of History Channel's flagship show 'Vikings'.

As old characters say goodbye in the most typical 'Vikings' style possible, new characters seem to be flowing in. We now know that Russian movie actor Danila Kozlovsky has been cast in season 6 as Oleg the Prophet.
