He will examine Berserker warriors — who are said to have fought in an uncontrollable rage that terrified their enemies

In a Beowulf class I had in grad school, the professor mentioned the berserkers -- she said that when the Vikings recognized a true sociopath as a child, he was brought up with others of his "kind" and the tendency was encouraged!

Too many berserkers for sociopaths. Look for magic mushrooms or ergot potions.
