Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III

"No! You are wrong! Our fate is not what we look like, it is not written down in the stars, it is not the Mark upon us! Our fate is who we are!"

- Hiccup in How to Steal a Dragon's Sword

Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third, the hope and heir to the Hairy Hooligan Tribe is the main character in the How to Train Your Dragon book series and DreamWorks's 2010 animation film.

Official Bio
"Hiccup is a Viking and is on his first year of the Pirate Training Programme, which is a bit like prison but the boys are armed and the food is TRULY DISGUSTING. Vikings are the Terrors of the Seas, the Scourge of Civilisation, great Barbarian Warriors of the North. But what Hiccup is, is mostly WET. It rains a lot on the Isle of Berk. Did you know, there are 101 different words for ‘rain’ in the Dragonese language? Hiccup knows them ALL. Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III was a truly extraordinary Viking Hero. Warrior chieftain, awesome sword-fighter and amateur naturalist, he was known throughout Vikingdom as “the Dragon Whisperer”, on account of his power over these terrifying beasts."

Early Life
Hiccup was born on February 29th (a leap year) and was named 'Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III' at the Naming Dame, much to the disappointment of his parents. According to Ancient Viking Law, Hiccup should have been left to die, but Stoick and Valhallarama, despite being chiefs, decided to keep him.

Unlike the kids from his Tribe, Hiccup was born a runt, and therefore had a bad childhood. He was constantly teased and bullied by his classmates, specially his cousin, Snotlout.
