Frey

**Frey** (also spelled **Freyr**) is the Norse Vanir god of peace, fertility, wealth, rain, summer, and sunshine. He is the ruler of Alfheim. He is the son of Njord, the twin brother of Freya, the husband of Gerd, and the father of Nora Clarke and Grace Evans.

## History

### Early Life

Frey and his twin sister Freya were born to Njord, the Norse Vanir god of the wind, fishing, and the sea, and his father's unnamed sister.

### Aesir-Vanir War

Frey fought along with his fellow Vanir during the Aesir-Vanir War. After the war they decided to exchange hostages. He and his father went to the Aesir, where they proved to be valuable additions to the tribe, while Mimir and Honir went to the Vanir, who proved to be terrible additions to the tribe.

### Finding His Wife

After his twin sister Freya vanished, Frey sat on Hlidskjalf, the throne of Odin, to find her. However he saw a female Jotunn named Gerd and fell in love with her. She was all he could think about.

Eventually he asked his messenger Skírnir to introduce them, to which Skírnir agrees to do so in exchange for Sumarbrander, which Frey agrees to. Skírnir introduces the two and they eventually marry and had a son Fjolnir.

## Appearance

Frey has blond hair that falls to his shoulders, blue eyes, a hawkish nose, a stubbly beard, and brilliant white teeth. He was described by Magnus as a Hollywood Viking that looked more like the Marvel Cinematic Universe version of Thor than Thor did. Frey also bears resemblance to his son Magnus, having the same crooked chin and cowlick Magnus always gets behind his right ear.

## Personality

Frey is a calm god who knows what he can and cannot control, such as summer ending and his fated death at the hands of Surt during Ragnarök. He is seen as quite benevolent in the series. He is helpful towards his children, notably Magnus, but is awkward around them at times.

## Abilities

* **Fighting Skills**: Frey is a highly skilled swordsman and warrior, as he is destined to slay many giants, even Beli, one of their great generals, during Ragnarök, even though he wields only a deer antler as a weapon. He is, however, destined to ultimately lose to, and perish at the hands of Surt.
* **Seasons Alteration** (limited to summer): As the God of Summer and Sunshine, he can change the area around himself into summer.
	+ **Photokinesis**: As the God of Summer and Sunshine, he can create, control and manipulate light.
	+ **Thermokinesis**: As the God of Summer, he can create, control and manipulate heat.
* **Atmokinesis**:  As the God of Summer, he is responsible in making the summer storms. As the God of Rain, he can control when it rains, and open up the clouds to bring sunlight whenever he wants.
* **Harsh Temperature Insensitivity**: As the God of Summer, Frey, much like his son Magnus, has a great deal of resilience to both temperature extremes, enough to be completely unfazed by both the intense flames of Muspellheim and the numbing cold of Niflheim.
* **Alf Seidr**: Frey, as the Lord of Alfheim, is a very skilled practitioner of Alf Seidr.
	+ **Peace of Frey**: He can expel energy in a shockwave, causing anything in the vicinity with weapons to be disarmed.
	+ **Vitakinesis**: He can heal both him or herself and others from wounds at incredible rates. As his son Magnus glows when he does this, it is possible that he does the same.
	+ **Pacemiakinesis**: As the God of Peace, he could create and manipulate peace in all forms (mental and physical).
	+ **Growth Manipulation**: As the God of Growth, he could make things grow or stop growing. It is unknown if this is limited to just plants or if he can do it with all living things.
	+ **Telepathy**: In *The Hammer of Thor*, his son Magnus was capable of reading the minds of fishes. It is presumed that he can do so as well.
* **Pylikinesis** (presumably): In *The Sword of Summer*, since Frey is the god of growth and fertility, his son Magnus could manipulate the branches of the World Tree, so it is presumed that this is one of his powers.
* **Geokinesis** (limited): In *The Hammer of Thor*, his son Magnus was capable of collapsing an underground ceiling in order to turn Blitz into stone. This may be limited to only revealing light sources, as Frey, god of growth, represents how living things broke through the earth to reach the light.

## Trivia

* Frey's Greco-Roman counterparts (in terms of attributes) would be Zephyrus/Favonius, Demeter/Ceres, Persephone/Proserpina and Apollo, though he also ironically shares one attribute (wealth) with Hades/Pluto.
* During the events of Ragnarök, Frey is destined to be killed by Surt (wielding Sumarbrander) the Lord of the Fire Giants, but will slay many giants, even Beli, one of their great generals, before he goes down.
	+ Thus, Frey is the only Norse god destined to be slain by their former weapon.
* Both Frey and his sister Freya (as well as Odin's wife, Frigg) are associated with the *Fehu* Rune.
* He was the original owner of the sword Sumarbrander before giving it away to his servant Skírnir.
* Interestingly, Frey resembles the Marvel Cinematic Universe's version of Thor (portrayed by the actor Chris Hemsworth) more than the actual Thor himself does.
* His current weapon is a deer antler.
* Frey is said to own the ship Skidbladnir in mythology, a ship capable of carrying all the Gods with their weapons and capable of traveling the land and sky as well as the sea. Skidbladnir is said to be the best ship in the Nine Realms.
* Many locations in Norway and Sweden are named after him.
* Like Poseidon/Neptune, one of Frey's sacred animals are horses.
* In *The Hidden Oracle*, Apollo mentions having met a smoking hot god in a Stockholm tavern whose sword wouldn't stop talking. The said god is most likely Frey and the weapon is assumed to be Sumarbrander.
