Mimir

Template:Character Template

*""Me? I'm the greatest ambassador to the Gods, the Giants, and all the creatures of the Nine Realms. I know every corner of these lands, every language spoken, every war waged, every deal ever struck. They call me… Mimir! --smartest man alive, and I have the answer to your every question.""*
―- Mimir, introducing himself to Kratos
**Mimir**, or **Mim**, formerly known as **Puck**, also known as the **Smartest Man Alive** and nicknamed by Kratos as **Head**, is a former Aesir and Half-Giant who became Odin's advisor, and the ambassador of the Aesir Gods until Odin imprisoned him 109 years ago. After being freed Kratos and Atreus, he became their ally.

## Personality

*""Some people value their privacy. Best not to judge, brother.""*
―- Mimir to Kratos
Mimir is well-mannered, kind and possesses a cheery and witty, though occasionally sarcastic, sense of humor. Even in his beheaded state, Mimir tries to make the most of the situation, finding it better than imprisonment and as such he tries to be helpful in any way he can. Mimir has a wealth of information regarding the deities, monsters, civilizations, the Nine Realms and famous figures of the Nine Realms, which he will eagerly share with Atreus whenever prompted.

Being a part of the traveling company of Kratos and his son, Mimir becomes something of a balancing force between them, teaching Atreus to use his abilities for good and often advising Kratos to be more open about the truth of his past. To that end, Mimir demonstrates that he is emotionally sensitive and insightful to the potential impact that Kratos's distant attitude towards Atreus could have but respects Kratos's wishes and doesn't inform Atreus himself. He also was the first to notice the dark change in Atreus's behavior once he finally learned of his godly heritage and thus tried to instill the ideals that figures like Tyr stood for, using one's powers with wisdom and for good. When this shift in behavior began to fracture the already tense bond between Atreus and Kratos, Mimir did his best to address the issue carefully.

Quickly, Mimir proved to be a loyal ally and friend to Kratos and his son, addressing the former as "Brother" and the latter as either "little brother" or "lad", and eagerly helping them find the realm of the giants. Mimir also expressed great concern and worry for Atreus when he began to grow ill after the battles with Magni and Modi. He even begged Baldur to stop attacking Kratos and Atreus, offering himself in their stead, though his pleas fell on deaf ears.

Despite his bright personality, Mimir possesses a great deal of anger and resentment towards the Aesir Gods, Odin and Thor in particular. He finds a great majority of them to be hedonistic, paranoid, arrogant, warmongering and the ones to blame for the tragedies the Nine Realms have endured. Before his imprisonment, Mimir did his best to try to bring and make peace between the Realms wherever he could, such as advising Odin to marry Freya in order to end the conflict between the Aesir and Vanir Gods. The one exception is Tyr, whom Mimir held in the highest esteem, believing him to be a great leader who fought for peace, knowledge, and understanding, not for power and control.

Mimir also blames himself for never managing to do any actual lasting peace when he was Odin's advisor. Whenever he would tell tales of the time, he was Odin's advisor, Mimir displays visible remorse and openly admits that he feels guilty. One of the examples was when he openly professed that he deserved Freya's anger and showed remorse for what his convincing Freya to marry Odin caused her. He also apologized to Sigrun for being so helpless to save her and the Valkyries, and regrets inadvertently causing the death of Starkaðr, having told Odin that if the giants ever had an army, Starkaðr might have been their general.

Mimir is also aware of other pantheons, mentioning in Tyr's vault about the Egyptian gods and of the Greek pantheon in Helheim. With the Olympians, he also knows of their demise, which he claimed was deserved. However, he did not know who had dismantled the pantheon until he accompanied Kratos, whom he later learned was Zeus' son and recognized him as the Ghost of Sparta.

Mimir has proven himself to be quite humble, an oddity for a God, as while he takes pride in being the smartest man alive, he admits when there are "gaps" in his knowledge or when dealing with something he has never seen before. He has also shown great respect to Kratos and Atreus's journey to Jotunheim and asked to be left behind in Tyr's Temple as this moment was important for Kratos and Atreus, and he didn't want to ruin the moment. The Spartan and his son would come to be fond of Mimir, in that they took him home with them once their journey was over.

Mimir also has a drinking history, having fallen off a mountain in a drunken stupor and suffered severe enough wounds that Eir had to heal him, which he was visibly ashamed of, and was noted to have been at least intoxicated when in the presence of giants, implied when he said he never spoke their language while sober.

Even before becoming Odin's advisor, Mimir was aware of the reputation of the Aesir gods and, with the exception of Tyr, held a dislike towards them. This only intensified following his imprisonment by Odin, and he openly describes Thor with insults like *"fat dobber"*, *"sweaty bawbag*" and *"thunder lummox"*. and considers Magni and Modi to be the biggest pair of twits in Asgard.

However, he is also fully aware of the power of the Aesir and the danger they pose, describing Thor as the *"biggest, butchering bastard in all nine realms"*, admitting that while Magni and Modi are a pair of fools, they're still formidable when fighting together, rare though that may be, and making it clear that, despite his paranoia, arrogance and apparent madness, Odin himself is also ruthless, deceitful and "almost as clever as he thinks", as well as having a seemingly endless capacity and creativity when it comes to cruelty.
