Atreus
Atreus is the son of Kratos and Laufey and the deuteragonist of God of War (2018). To the Jötnar, he is known as Loki. Kratos tells his son that his namesake was a great Spartan warrior who, unlike most Spartans, was happy and filled with life.
Likely due to him being a son of the former Olympian God of War and a Frost Giantess, Atreus possesses considerable superhuman physical abilities. Atreus has yet to discover the extent of his abilities as he is noted by Mimir to have great potential thanks to his unique heritage.
Loki is the wily trickster of Norse mythology. His father is the Jötunn giant Farbauti and his mother is Laufey. He is the brother to Helbindi and Býleistr. With the giantess Angrboða, Loki is the father of Hel, Jörmungandr, and Fenrir.
Mimir
Mimir, also known as the Smartest Man Alive and nicknamed by Kratos as Head, is a figure of Norse Mythology known for his knowledge and wisdom and an ally of Kratos and Atreus. He was Odin’s advisor and the ambassador of the Aesir Gods until Odin imprisoned him 109 years ago. He is the tritagonist of God of War (2018). Mímir means “the rememberer” or “the wise one” in Old Norse.
He is a figure in Norse Mythology who is renowned for his knowledge and wisdom. He is beheaded by the Vanir Gods during the Æsir-Vanir War. Odin revives the head of Mimir through some magic after the Vanir gift it to Odin. Afterward, Odin carries around Mímir’s head and it recites secret knowledge to him. He is the maternal uncle of Odin.
Thor
Thor is the Norse Aesir God of thunder, lightning, storms, and strength. The father of Magni and Modi and son of Odin. Thor appears in the true ending of God of War (2018), and returns as one of the main antagonists of God of War: Ragnarök. His most notable weapon is the hammer Mjölnir, which is powerful enough to level mountains.
Odin
Odin, also known as the Allfather, is the King of Asgard, the Ruler of Valhalla, and the King of the Aesir Gods. He is also the Norse God of the Sky, War, Death, Wisdom, Poetry, and Magic. He is the one who imprisoned Mimir in the past and personally tortured him every day. He also sent Baldur to gain knowledge of Faye’s whereabouts. In mythology, he was usually depicted wearing a cloak and a wide-brimmed hat and carrying his spear Gungnir, a legendary artifact that once tossed never misses its target.
