Ingolfur Arnarsson
If you need somone to blame for your being in Reykjavik at this very moment, and take causality back far enough, then this is the man you should be pelting. He is the first man to come here and actually decide to stay. Hence, he is the first true Icelander, probably in more than one sense. Legend has it that he threw columns from his boat into the sea, and decided to set up camp wherever it was they came ashore. The wind and the tides blew them ashore right here and they've been battering his descendants ever since.
