ORIGIN: Icelandic
TYPE: God of war
INFORMATION: A little known Aesir god, described as the silent one. One of the sons of Othin. An alternative tradition places him as the offspring of a brief liaison between Thof and the giant Gird. A god of great strength and support in times of danger. The prospective avenger of Othin's death by the wolf Fenrir at Ragnarok, he is said to wear a shoe made of material collected throughout time that he will place between Fenrir's jaws before he tears them apart and runs the beast through with his sword. One of the survivors of the final great fire and flood, destined to live in Asgard's successor Idavoll.
