Reverend Aslaug Wartooth

Aslaug Wartooth is the father of Dethklok guitarist Toki Wartooth, and husband of Anja Wartooth. Toki's father is a Reverend in a mysterious and seemingly cult-like religion which seems to involve taking a vow of silence or similar disciplinary concepts.

Bio
Aslaug Wartooth makes his second and last appearance in "Dethdad"; when Toki finds out that his father is dying of cancer, he and the rest of the band travel to Norway, and Toki faces his traumatic past. Several flashbacks are shown, including: Toki carrying a huge box of fish up a hill; walking in on his parents having sex; sitting with no shirt with bloody gashes all over his back and upper arms; and hanging with his arms in shackles on a wall.

After running away briefly, Nathan, Pickles, Skwisgaar, and Murderface search for him. He finally faces his fears and reconciles with his dying father whose last request is to see the house he was born in, which is at the top of a large, steep hill. Toki carries his father up to the steps of the house, but slips on the ice-covered stairs and drops him down the hill. Aslaug slides down the hill and breaks through the ice-covered lake at the bottom. Toki rushes to save him, but is too late, forced to watch through the ice as his father drowns and sinks to the bottom of the frozen lake.

Personality
Aslaug Wartooth is a mute, elderly religious man, though when Toki was a young child, he often resorted to harsh disciplinary actions, often beating Toki and locking him in a deep, cold hole in the ground. His hold over Toki is so deep to the point that even as a young adult, Toki remains completely silent in his presence except during his final appearance when he was dying of cancer at which point Toki forgave his father and attempted to bring him back to the place of his birth at the top of a mountain.

Trivia

 * "Aslaug" is a Norwegian woman's name in real life.
 * Aslaug is possibly based off of Lars Kristian Vikernes, the strict religious father of metal musician Varg Vikernes of Burzum. Like Auslag, Lars had a poor relationship with his son and raised him in a strict, domineering Christian environment.
