Personality [ ]

The near exact opposite to his brother Brok , Sindri is polite, well-meaning and erudite. He treats every piece of craft as an artwork that must be carefully handled, thus he pays close attention to detail and operates with precision.
However, Sindri suffers from severe mysophobia and is extremely squeamish with anything that could be considered unclean, to the point where he even refuses to shake hands with others even while wearing his gloves. He exaggerates getting sick with handling any weapon that was recently used to kill. Even the mention of something repulsive, like Odin's request to make a craft to house Mimir's other eye and the venture into the World Serpent's stomach, caused Sindri to vomit.
Sindri is also more emotional than his brother, being visibly saddened upon learning of Faye's death and expressing visible frustration with his brother. He was also visibly hurt after Atreus mocked his complaints about his brother. Thankfully, Sindri didn't hold a grudge and was able to forgive the boy. The two then develop a very close bond, becoming "partners" during the young giant's search for Týr.
More-so than Brok, Sindri also expresses regret for forging Mjölnir for Thor, as the god used it for evils such as genocide against the Jötnar . Such acts led them to create the Leviathan Axe, but also a rift between himself and his brother that eventually evolved into a feud.
Like his brother, Sindri hates the Aesir Gods . He vanished from Magni and Modi which he called them as Thor's "idiot sons". He considered Modi's weapons to be a "cheap knockoff" from Thor's hammer .
After Brok was murdered by Odin, Sindri underwent a deep psychological change due to his grief and caused his personality to radically change. He became much more depressed, bitter, resentful, apathetic, blunt, and harsh. He also became unforgiving toward Kratos and Atreus for having unwittingly caused his brother's death by inviting Odin, who disguised himself as Týr, into his home. He also lashed out at them for having inadvertently taken everything from him until he had nothing, not even his family. Moreover, he even went as far as to denounce their friendship, coldly rebuffing Atreus' help during the war against Asgard . However, he was still willing to come to Atreus' aid when Thrúd had him cornered and also accepted Kratos and Freya's presence in Brok's funeral, even allowing them to aid in the funeral process, showing he still had a degree of care left for them, but is currently too lost in his anger and heartbreak to consider forgiving them or opening himself up.
Aside from his resentment and bitterness, Sindri became much more stern, calculating, and cold, as displayed by his proclamation of going to Svartalfheim and dismissing his late arrival during Ragnarök. He is also shown to be callous and unsympathetic towards the accidental casualties that could happen to the Midgardians that Odin had captured. This also seemed to cure him of his mysophobia, as he is now beyond caring. Due to the All-Father's responsibility over Brok's death, Sindri became vengeful as he avenged his brother's death by smashing the marble that held the soul of Odin, denying the All-Father an afterlife. However, getting his revenge was of no solace for Sindri and only left him more hollow and empty as he no longer has a target to direct his rage towards, and Sindri remained bitter as he discarded Kratos' attempts of comfort before disappearing to parts unknown. Mimir noted that Sindri's current situation perfectly represents the riddle Brok gave him: a hole is what gets bigger the more is taken away. As Sindri has denied the friendship and support of Kratos, Atreus, and Freya, and had went into a reclusive state, the damage left by Brok's death will only increase in his isolation.

Powers [ ]

Dwarven Magic: As a Dwarf, Sindri can use magic very effectively. He frequently uses his magic to enter the Realm Between Realms in order to quick-travel among the Nine Realms, as well as make himself invisible, thus allowing him to avoid enemies. This is why Sindri and his shop can appear anywhere in all the realms without getting into any trouble or challenges, but it doesn't seem to work on dragons. Sindri also uses his magic on a dragon's tooth to make it capable of imbuing enchanted lightning to Atreus' Talon bow.

Seiðr Practitioner: Sindri is also well versed in the magic's of the Vanir, claiming to have studied in Vanaheim for some time to sharpen his abilities.

Norse Mythology [ ]

In Norse mythology, Eitri (or Sindri) is a dwarf and the brother of Brokkr.
According to Skáldskaparmál , when Loki had Sif's hair, Freyr's ship Skíðblaðnir and Odin's spear Gungnir fashioned by the Sons of Ivaldi, he bet his own head with Brokkr that Eitri would not have been able to make items that matched the craftsmanship of those mentioned above.
Eitri began working in his furnace while his brother was working the bellows, but a fly (sometimes thought to be Loki himself) began stinging Brokkr, trying to stop him and spoil the items.
Eitri succeeded in making the golden boar Gullinbursti, the golden ring Draupnir, and the hammer Mjölnir that made his brother win the bet, even if its handle was shorter than it should have been.
Eitri also has a daughter named Herríðr and a son named Herröðr in Þorsteins saga Víkingssonar.
