Personality [ ]

“ By Lady Sif's soft, perfect sloshers! You done did it! ” –Brok after seeing the gate to Jötunheim.
Although Brok is harmless, he is often rude, slovenly and ill-mannered. He frequently swears at Kratos and Atreus , even giving his beast ( Huldra Creature ) of burden the name "fucking gratitude". He also rivals his brother in forging skills. His personality is the opposite of his brother Sindri, who is polite and somewhat cowardly.
Despite his crude attitude, he is generally good-natured, and comes to care for Kratos and Atreus. He shows genuine concern when he learns of Atreus' sickness and assists him by imbuing Kratos' Blades of Chaos with the winds of Helheim. However, he is somewhat irritated when Atreus tries to get him and his brother back on good terms. Brok also finds Atreus' sentimental and "softy" attitude annoying at times. Despite this, he was grateful to the boy for getting him and his brother to work together again. Brok also tries to give advice to those that he feels needs it, as, during his time accompanying Kratos and a vengeful Freya, he told Freya about his previous falling out with his brother and how they eventually rekindled, in an attempt to make Freya welcome her brother warmly rather than push him away, knowing she’d be happier for it.
Brok does seem to have a particular interest in the works of foreign realms, as he immediately sensed Kratos' Blades of Chaos, saying he reeked of "foreign magick". He knew immediately that the blades were not from the Nine Realms and were something special, despite Kratos' reservations on using the blades, to begin with.
Like his brother, although not at the same extent, Brok expresses regret for forging Mjölnir for Thor, as the god used the weapon to slaughter the giants and commit other atrocities.

“ Son , my brother and me created Mjölnir for the big idiot ...I know from quality. And them ...them's special. ” –Brok to Kratos when seeing the Blades of Chaos.

Like Sindri, Brok hates the Aesir gods . Brok called Thor a "big idiot", along with calling Magni a loudmouth. He also knew that Magni's death would be bad news for Kratos and Atreus if Thor finds out, but still displayed some measure of relief of one less Aesir. He called Baldur a "scruffy fella, bout yea high, doesn't feel pain".
Brok has shown on several occasions a reverence for smithing as an art form, at times causing his gruff exterior to wane, and revealing a true craftsman with his own brand of wisdom to share with the world. He was devastated when the Lady didn't bless the Draupnir Spear but became genuinely emotional when Kratos suggests that Brok bless the spear himself.
Despite initially appearing something of a loner, Brok is unrelentingly loyal to those he considers family and friends alike. Enough that, upon the slightest hint that something was off, he immediately outs Týr as a disguised Odin after the latter referred to Atreus by the name "Loki". Though this loyalty ultimately cost Brok his own life, it indirectly saved everyone by setting in motion Kratos' decision to lead the Nine Realms into war with Asgard.

Powers [ ]

Dwarven Magic: As a Dwarf, Brok can use magic very effectively, usually using it when dealing with weapon crafting or manipulating different elements or materials for specific uses. He often uses his magic to enter The Realm between Realms in order to enter any place in the nine worlds and make himself invisible. This explains why Brok, and his shop, can appear anywhere in all the realms without getting into any trouble or challenges. But it seems that this ability does not work on dragons. In addition, Brok can infuse his weapons with magic to make them more effective in combat, being able to use his hammer and sword together to produce a powerful shockwave that could stun and daze multiple enemies, and launch scorching flame projectiles from his magically expanded pouch. Brok has shown the ability to sense foreign magic, immediately detecting it from the Blades of Chaos.

Norse Mythology [ ]

In Norse mythology, Brokkr (Old Norse "the one who works with metal fragments; blacksmith", anglicized Brokk) is a dwarf and the brother of Eitri.
According to Skáldskaparmál , Loki had Sif's hair, Freyr's ship Skíðblaðnir and Odin's spear Gungnir fashioned by the Sons of Ivaldi. Loki boasted greatly of all the things that the Sons of Ivaldi could create. In addition, he also boasted that the other dwarves could not create anything beautiful or useful. Brokkr, who was in Asgard at the time, declared that his brother Eitri could make things far more beautiful and useful than the Sons of Ivaldi. Brokkr bet his head with that of Loki that his brother Eitri could make things with better craftsmanship than Skíðblaðnir or Gungnir.
While Eitri used magic in a forge that was extremely hot, Brokkr worked the bellows so that the fire would not cool down nor get too hot for the magic. While making the boar Gullinbursti, a gadfly, often thought to be Loki himself, came and bit Brokkr on the hand. Brokkr was not disturbed though and kept blowing into the fire. While making the golden arm ring Draupnir the gadfly came again and bit Brokkr, this time in the neck but Brokkr kept on blowing. Finally, while making the hammer Mjölnir the gadfly bit Brokkr on the eye this time. This temporarily caused Brokkr to stop blowing. That brief stoppage of blowing into the fire caused Mjölnir's handle to become shorter than it should have been. Because of this, Thor had to wear the iron gauntlets Járngreipr to handle it.
Eitri succeeded in making the golden ring Draupnir, the golden-bristled boar Gullinbursti and the hammer Mjölnir. These objects were judged by the gods to be superior and Brokkr won the bet. However, Loki did not allow him to take his head as doing so would have damaged his neck which was not included in the bet. In lieu of this, Brok sewed Loki's lips so that Loki would not brag until the thread came out.
