Ivar may lack bones but the youngest of Ragnar's son is not less of a man or a Viking because of his disease. Despite being the one who always sits on the sidelines while watching his brothers, Ivar is among the most intelligent of Ragnar's brood. During a trip to England with his father in "Vikings" season 4, Ivar started to realize why Ragnar is one of the most legendary Viking leaders.
Ivar has a violent temper and while he has great admiration for his father, the person he trusts most is Floki. In the upcoming episodes, Ivar is bound to have more moments with Floki. Andersen also teased in an interview that Ivar will "try something very drastic to fight the disease."

Enemies are aware that Ragnar is in Wessex and they are planning to search for him and have him killed. While father and son are facing a dangerous situation, Ivar learns a military strategy and how to manipulate people from Ragnar.
