His name is Erik. And he is the foring (right hand) of the konung on the management of the hird (retinue). Rjo is a member of the felag. In spite of the fact that felag is formally part of the hird, this military association has other field commanders and is designed to perform autonomous tasks. Roughly speaking, it is an independent small retinue.
The reason for such behavior and Rjo's sense of impunity will be revealed in detail in the course of the story. But, in principle, I agree that with such a character he miraculously lived up to his years..
I think at the end of the chapter I will lay out a more clear scheme of the military hierarchy in the konung's marching retinue.
