He was introduced as Eric's mute buddy early in the movie, so you expect there'll be some sort of relationship on show as the movie progresses. But then nothing really does occur and as you say. he gradually just disappears from sight.
It was almost as if Richard Fleischer didn't know how to use him.

Possibly he was killed but his death scene (as well as Egbert's) was deleted for pacing reasons.
shareYou could be right, but it is kind of weird how his character just appears to vanish from the film without explanation.
sharelast I remember seeing Sandpiper, Kitala and Egbert was when they were in the boat.

Since they were slaves except for Egbert, they probably stayed in England. I think Aella was killed in battle, so Egbert could return there
Sandpiper is there watching at the end at the Viking funeral.
