Baldur (God of War)

==Summary==
Baldur is the son of Odin and Freya. At some point in his life, his mother learned from the runes that he would die a "needless death". Determined to prevent his death at any cost, Freya placed a spell on him that made him invulnerable to all threats, physical or magical. However, the spell had a side-effect of removing Baldur's ability to physically feel anything. He could no longer feel anything from pain and pleasure to even the temperature of wherever he stood. Baldur’s pleas to Freya to lift the spell fell on deaf ears, and Freya insisted that Baldur would thank her for it. As a result, Baldur was driven mad, and he was consumed with hatred for his mother and vowed to never forgive her.
Later Baldur conflicts with Kratos and Atreus when he tries to track Jötunn Guardian (which was Laufey) at Odin's request and becomes the main antagonist of the game.

Damaging souls can shatter and fragment their memories as a consequenceGod of War: Ragnarök (2022)- Casualty of War)
</tabber>
Attack Potency: Low Complex Multiverse level (Weaker than Sigrun but ultimately on a similar level, as he could challenge a rusty and weakened Kratos to the same degree as Valkyries, which are about on par with Atreus during Ragnarok)
Speed: Infinite (Can keep up with an out-of-practice Kratos)
Lifting Strength: Immeasurable (Managed to compete with an out-of-practice Kratos, though he was ultimately weaker and overwhelmed)
Striking Strength: Low Complex Multiverse level
Durability: Low Complex Multiverse level (Took multiple blows from an out-of-practice Kratos, albeit the latter threatened to completely all of Baldur's bones after the curse wore offGod of War (2018) Novel - Chapter 55). His inability to feel pain makes him able to endure more blows and attacks from those comparable to him, though he can still get dazed out by sufficiently strong blows
Stamina: Superhuman (Should be at least comparable to a Demigod Kratos, who can climb Pandora's Temple for three days straight. With the spell, he can't feel pain and doesn't need to eat or sleep)
Range: Standard Melee Range. Hundreds of Meters with ice and fire abilities
Standard Equipment: None 
Intelligence: Above Average (Was Odin's best tracker. Escaped from Helheim)
Weaknesses: Mistletoe (Which removes his spell). With the spell, he loses all forms of sensation, and it does not prevent him from being fazed by powerful-enough blows. His countless years spent without being able to feel anything at all has left him insane and reckless.
