### Voice Actor(s)

Ryan Hurst (English)

**Thor**, is both a fictional character and antagonist of the *HCoW* series created by Jade Raymond and Kaname Fujioka. He was an Isu, revered as the Æsir warrior god of lightning and thunder in both the Germanic and Norse mythology.

He is the son of Odin and Fjörgyn, husband of Sif, brother of Meili, half-brother of Baldur, Týr, Hodr, and Bragi, and the father of Magni, Modi, Ullr, and a daughter. Like many of the Greek Isu, he is a darker figure than his story counterpart.

As the chosen warrior god of the protection of mankind, Thor was also the wielder of the Mjölnir, an Isu superweapon artifact capable of generating weaponized electricity and storms, which also gave him the title "**Lord of Storms**".

In Norse mythology, he was the enemy/rival of Jörmungandr, the giant serpent of Loki that encircled the earth, whom he was fated to be mortally wounded in battle by its venom infused last breath just after killing it during Ragnarök.

"*You seem like a calm and reasonable person. Are you a calm and reasonable person?*"

—Thor, to Kratos, before the war.

### Appearance

Thor is is seen possessing blue eyes, red hair, and a thick beard which seems to be braided. He is burly and thick waisted; with a large, rather obese but still muscular and heavily built figure, perhaps accurately depicting his description by Mimir as a "fat dobber". He is unarmored across his bare chest and potbelly, but wears plated pauldrons and bracers on his arms and sports leather armor around his waist to protect his upper legs and hips. He also sports tattoos similar to, though not as extensive as, those of his brother, Baldur.

## Personality

Thor is widely feared throughout the Nine Realms for his cruelty, violent temper, brutality, and sadism. He is utterly ruthless, showing no mercy to his enemies, and his bloodlust was noted by Mimir to be the only thing greater than Odin's paranoia, and many consider him the worst of the Aesir gods. Despite being half-giant himself, Thor took sadistic pleasure in torturing and killing any giant he could find. His reputation was somewhat similar to Ares, who was considered the worst among the Olympian Gods.

What makes him different from Ares, however, is that he seems to possess a sense of honor, as he dislikes cowardice. When Modi fled after Magni, his favorite son, died; Thor was enraged, and subsequently beat his surviving son for fleeing from Kratos and deemed Modi a coward. He also somewhat cares for his worshipers, as when one of his faithful followers died he made time to visit the family, although even then he still could be enraged easily, especially while drunk, and ended up taking advantage of his higher status.

Thor's overall intelligence could be called into question, as many a time has Thor been made a fool of himself or made stupid, reckless mistakes (quite comparable to his sons, in fact). Kratos called Thor as a fool when hearing not even Mjölnir in hand will break the ice to reach Thamur's magical chisel. Mimir called Thor for the destruction upon the Jötnar as sweaty bawbag, fat dobber, thunder lummox and the biggest butching bastard in the Nine Realms.

Brok considered him the big idiot, and Atreus also called him an idiot when hearing about how he got crushed by Hrungnir's body. Most of all, Thor had his legendary hammer stolen by the giant Thrym, when he was carelessly sleeping. However, Thor is clever enough to know his limit and not try to challenge Starkaðr alone, knowing very well that he would die.

In addition, Thor is extremely arrogant, typical for an Æsir, as he would go to great lengths to cement his reputation amongst the Nine Realms and be respected, as well as feared. An example being the destruction of the village when Thor battled Thamur, Thor claimed credit for the giant's death and the village's destruction, despite the fact that Thor was merely lucky in both actions.

To aid his reputation as one of the most hated and feared Gods of the Nine Realms, Thor’s overall demeanor seems to revolve around him being cruel and sadistic simply for the sake of it. An example of this could be seen when Thor needlessly murdered Hrungnir even though the stone Giant was merely amusing the Aesir and was a threat to no one.

whose only outward expressions seem to be of rage and smug arrogance due to his abilities. An example of this is seen when Thor was the only God not amused by Hrungnir’s foolish performance in Asgard, preferring to outright murder the Jotun seeing as how the simpleton had nothing to offer him other than his death.

Thor’s cruel nature can come out even when he is trying to be friendly towards others. After a wayward spirits father had passed away, his mother built a statue of Thor to watch over his grave. Appearing to the family, Thor offered his condolences for their loss. Although they were overjoyed at first with the Gods presence, Thor took advantage of their hospitality and quickly became drunk. Distraught, the mother asked him to leave to which Thor responded by brutally murdering her in a drunken rage before leaving the son behind, cursing the God of Thunder.

Despite his dark side, Thor has proven to deeply care and trust his family. He is known for being very loyal to Odin and was close with Baldur, comforting him in his depression over being unable to feel and trusting him with his life, despite the latter's insanity and disgust towards the former's bloodlust. Magni points out that he and Modi have to trust Baldur because their father believes in him, despite Modi proclaiming that their uncle had not been sane for a while.

Thor was also known for being furious at Magni's death and after Modi and Baldur died as well, Thor would apparently attack Kratos and Atreus to seek vengeance for their demises.

## Abilities and Powers

Being both half-giant and Odin's firstborn son, Thor is the second most powerful of the Æsir (and maybe physically the strongest Æsir), surpassed only by his father. His power is great enough for having slaughtered almost all the Giants living outside of Jötunheim, whilst being recognized and feared by most alongside his brutality. In addition, even with Kratos and Atreus having killed Baldur, Magni, and Modi, Thor appears confident enough in his abilities to personally confront them at their home by himself, and Mimir stated that he does not know whether Kratos can kill Thor.

### Powers

* **Superhuman Strength**: As the God of Strength, Thor is the strongest of the Æsir Gods, surpassing that of Baldr, Magni, Modi, and Týr. His strength is so great that he was able to singlehandedly slaughter the Giants to near extinction, with only Jörmungandr being strong enough to match his strength; their first battle was felt across all the Nine Realms, and their battle at Ragnarök is said to have splintered Yggdrasil, a construct that transcends space and time and supports all of creation with its existence, with Thor striking the World Serpent so hard as to send him back in time. Only Starkaðr, the strongest of the Giants, proved to be too much for Thor to defeat or even fight alone, requiring the aid from the combined armies of Asgard, Vanaheim, and Midgard to subdue him, although Thor was still strong enough to rip his arms off after Starkaor had sustained severe injuries, and Surtr, the first Fire Giant, who he would need the help of Odin to defeat at Ragnarök. With Mjölnir, Thor was able to shatter the head of Hrungnir the Brawler with a single blow. Thor can possibly hold strength capable of rivalling Kratos' as he came alone to challenge him and his son in their house. Mimir said it is unknown who would win if Kratos and Thor clashed.
* **Superhuman Durability**: As the strongest of the Æsir Gods, Thor must have tremendous superhuman durability. He is able endure attacks from the Giants without much damage, which was most likely crucial in his ability to massacre them. However, he still can be incapacitated, such as when the colossal body of Hrungnir fell on him he was unable to remove the corpse himself until his sons removed it for him. He's also destined to die after his battle with Jörmungandr, falling victim to the latter's venom.
* **Weather Manipulation**: As the God of Storms, Thor has the ability to summon harsh lightning storms at whim. He displayed this power when he caused a giant storm to occur to wake Kratos and Atreus up.
	+ **Lightning Manipulation**: As the God of Thunder, Thor has absolute control over electricity and lightning, with it being an innate power inherited by his sons, although Thor's electrokinetic powers must clearly far surpass theirs. During his attack on Kratos and Atreus, Thor was capable of causing bolts of lightning to constantly rain down on their house by simply willing it.
* **Immortality**: As with all Gods, Thor is immortal and cannot be killed by anything not powerful enough.

### Physical Abilities

* **Master Combatant**: As the mightiest warrior of Asgard, Thor is an extremely skilled combatant with hundreds of years' worth of training and experience, as he single-handedly killed almost every giant on Midgard and many other powerful beings. Thor, alongside Odin, is capable of defeating Surtr, the strongest Fire Giant and immensely exceptional combatant, during Ragnarok. Mimir stated that due to Thor's own incredible fighting prowess, even Kratos, who Mimir describes as being the most proficient killer he's ever known, is uncertain to defeat him in battle.
	+ **Hammer Mastery**: Thor is incredibly skilled in using his hammer Mjölnir, which he uses to wipe out nearly all Giants.

### Weapons

* **Mjölnir**: Forged by Brok and Sindri, this special one-handed Isu hammer is Thor's weapon of choice when killing giants and other foes. In Norse mythology, it is said that when thrown, Mjölnir always hits its target and returns to the wielder's hand and that it is capable of crushing mountains in a single blow. It is also described as a "superweapon" by Mimir and as such is one of the most powerful weapons in all of the Nine Realms. The only weapons capable of opposing its immense power are the Leviathan Axe, Surtr's Sword, and possibly the Blades of Chaos.
* **Megingjörð**: A belt that doubles Thor's already tremendous strength.
* **Járngreipr**: A pair of gauntlets that allows Thor to handle Mjölnir's power.

## History

### Past

Thor was born to Odin, king of Asgard, and the giantess, Fjörgyn. He is the brother of Meili, half-brother of Týr, Hodr, Bragi, and Baldr. At some point in his life, he would marry Sif and sire a daughter with her. Thor also had two sons, Magni and Modi, both of which were conceived with an unknown Jötunn, and had different mothers (Sindri commented this was a "sordid story").

Odin commissioned Brok and Sindri to build a powerful weapon, Mjölnir, for Thor to use to protect Asgard. Both Dwarven brothers would come to bitterly regret making the hammer many years later.

At some point, Odin invited the stone giant, Hrungnir, to Asgard. After getting drunk on mead, Hrungnir was goaded by Odin into making all manner of boasts and antics, all for the amusement of the court. When Thor arrived at the hall, he was unamused by the drunken giant's threats, and proceeds to slam Mjölnir so hard on Hrungnir's head that it smashed to pieces, with chunks of rock ended up lodged in Thor‘s head. Startled by the faceful of rock, he didn't notice Hrungnir’s body falling on top of him.

None of the Aesir in the hall were strong enough even to budge the corpse off him. Thor’s sons, Magni and Modi, who at the time were no bigger than shrubs, would come to their father’s aid and managed to lift Hrungnir’s body off him while no one, except for Mimir, was looking. Magni would get all the praise from Thor for being blonder, while Modi became bitter and resentful towards his brother for not getting any credit for his involvement.

After Odin was forced to flee Jötunheim when the Giants discovered him trying to steal their secret knowledge of the future, he furiously ordered Thor to use Mjölnir to slaughter every giant in Midgard that he could find. By the time of Laufey's death, Thor had already slaughtered most of the Giants in Midgard (with the exception of Jörmungandr) and earned a fearful reputation as the strongest Norse God in all the Nine Realms.

When the giant Thamur went to Midgard in order to search for his son, Hrimthur, Thor appeared and killed the stonemason by causing him to fall on his own chisel and Thamur's gigantic body crushed the fishing village which worshiped the Vanir God Njörd. Thor would always act like he planned to make the Giant fall onto the village and destroy it, although Mimir states that it was simply just a case of luck and called the God of Thunder as the "sweaty bawbag".

Following the murder, Odin entered a bet with Hrimthur, who had disguised himself as a mortal, to improve the walls of Asgard within a near-impossible span of time. Odin lost the bet and sent Thor to kill Hrimthur when he discovered stonemasons' true nature as a Jötunn. Unbeknownst to Odin, Hrimthur had placed a weakness the walls and entrusted the secret of his deception only to Freyja for the preparation for Ragnarök when Surtr arrive to burn as Asgard to ash.

Whilst he was taking a nap, Thrym stolen Mjölnir and ran off to Jötunheim, while he (Mimir describe him as the "thunder lummox") was sleeping. Thor snuck into Jötunheim with Freyja into the wedding feast between her and Thrym. When Giant King revealed Mjölnir during the ceremony, Thor revealed himself, took back his hammer and began slaughtering every Giant present for the festivities, including Thrym by smashing his skull.

That is until Freyja cast a spell to return Thor and herself back to Asgard, which caused him to hold some form of disdain against her as he was also ordered by Odin to establish a foothold in the realm. Thor also still trusted his brother Baldr completely, despite the fact that the God of Light had lost his sanity long ago in the eyes of the other Æsir and was regarded as dangerously unhinged.
