Characters / Asgard's Wrath

Gods

Norse Pantheon

Loki

The Trickster God

Voiced by: Matthew Mercer

• Affably Evil: Loki is nothing but pleasant to the New God despite his loathsome reputation. That all goes out the window come the ending when he tries to kill them once he has what he wants.
• Astral Projection: Usually appears to the New God when outside Aegir's hall as a purple projection.
• Devious Daggers: Loki can often be seen twirling his daggers, and playing Five-Finger Fillet's with them.
• Evil Mentor: He helps teach the New God about their capabilities as a god, but he's ultimately only using them so he can escape his prison.
• Green-Eyed Monster: He killed Baldur because Odin favoured him above everyone else.
• Tin Tyrant: Wears golden armor that fully covers him in the first phase of his boss fight.

Týr

The God of War

Voiced by: Andrew Morgado

• Blood Knight: Being the Norse war god, Týr absolutely lives for battle and conflict.
• Drowning My Sorrows: After his defeat, he heads to Aegir's hall to sooth his wounded pride with mead.
• Eye Scream: Loses an eye to a vengeful Ingrid, with the help of the New God.
• Horny Vikings: Wears a scowling metal helmet with two large horns on either side.
• Red and Black and Evil All Over: Wears black and red and is a vicious Blood Knight.
• Relative Button: He taunts Ingrid with her brother's fate, saying his soul lays dishonored with the sick and diseased in the darkest part of Niflheim.

Heimdall

The Guardian of Asgard

Voiced by: Elle Newlands

• Gender Flip: The mythological Heimdall was male, while this version is female.
• Ms. Fanservice: She's not only very pretty but aside from a shawl and a shirt, she wears very little.

Thor

The Thunder God

Hel

The Goddess of the Dead

Voiced by: Alex Cazares

• Amazing Technicolor Population: Hel has grey skin, unlike her father Loki.
• Good Scars, Evil Scars: Like in the orignal myth half of Hel's face (as well as the whole left side of her body) is blackened and badly scarred, and she's not the nicest of people either.
• Winged Humanoid: Flies around with a pair of bat like wings sprouting from her back.
• White Hair, Black Heart: Possesses white hair, and introduces herself after the New God thwarted her attempt to invade Midgard, cackling about of all the harm she will cause once Frodi eventually perishes and can no longer keep her forces out.

Freyja

The Goddess of Love and War

Voiced by: Laura Post

• Hot Goddess: Freyja is the Norse goddess of love, and she certainly looks the part.
• Lady Drunk: While far more attractive then usual examples, Freyja is still hardly ever seen without a filled goblet in her hand.

Odin

The All-Father

Voiced by: David Sobolov

• Authority Sounds Deep: Is the ruler of Asgard and is voiced by David Sobolov.
• Big Eater: Appears in Aegir's hall aggressively biting into a whole horse leg.
• Creepy Crows: Appears to the New God, accompanied by his ravens.
• Eyepatch of Power: Like most depictions of the All-Father, he's both missing an eye and is the head of the Norse pantheon.

Baldur

The God of Light

• The Ghost: Aside from a portrait of him over the tavern bar, he makes no physical appearances in the game, having been killed by Loki long before it started.
• Loved by All: He's Odin's favourite son, and he was very well liked in Asgard. Which is why Loki was imprisoned for killing him.
• Parental Favouritism: Baldur is Odin's most favoured son a fact Thor is well aware of.
• Posthumous Character: Loki killed him long ago and is currently imprisoned for the act.

Egyptian Pantheon

• Adaptational Species Change: Rather than being portrayed as the Half-Human Hybrids they were in mythology, possessing the actual heads of animals on their human bodies, the Pantheon is instead presented as completely human-like in appearance, with animal themed masks.

Horus

Voiced by: Anthony Alabi

• Disabled Deity: Was rendered blind in his battle with Set.
• Eye Scream: Had his eyes torn out by Set when he tried to avenge his father's death.

Set

• Villain Team-Up: It's eventually revealed that he and Loki are in cahoots.

Sekhmet

Voiced by: Zakiya Young

• Brainwashed and Crazy: She's actually the goddess Bast, but she is no longer in her right mind and becomes the first threat that Abraxus and the New God face in Egypt.
• The Power of the Sun: As Sekhmet she fires on Abraxes with a sun disk hovering just behind her head.
• Mystical White Hair: Madness aside she's a Hot Goddess with long white hair.

Ptah

Bes

Voiced by: Brandon McInnis

• Disabled Deity: Like in the orignal mythology Bes is portrayed with dwarfism.

Thoth

Asgard's Wrath

Ingrid

Voiced by: Elle Newlands

• Action Girl: Comes with being a Shield Maiden.
• Determinator: It doesn't matter to her if she's shipwrecked or burned, she will have her revenge.
• Doomed Hometown: Týr destroys her village for defying him. With the New God's help she pays him back by stabbing him in the eye.
• Honor Before Reason: Sought to take on the God of War himself to avenge her family an endeavour that get's most of her war party killed and herself shipwrecked. Though in the end she none the less succeeds by stabbing Týr in the eye, which causes the formation of the Honor Stone.
• You Killed My Father: Seek revenge on Týr for leading her brother astray and getting him killed.

Stikkan

Voiced by: Greg Chun

• Greed: Forms the greed stone with his unending avarice.
• Greed Makes You Dumb: Stikkan stole Thor's hammer, and attempted to steal Freyja's necklace, which was in the possession of Hel at the time. Suffice to say, if not for the New Gods presence, he likely wouldn't have survived committing such brazen burglary for long.
• Indispensable Scoundrel: Diplomatically describes himself as being in the "import/export business" and is required to progress the story.
• Noodle Incident: Somehow managed to steal Mjölnir from Thor without him knowing.
• Token Evil Teammate: Out of all the mortal beings the New God assists, Stikken is probably the most unscrupulous.

Frodi

Voiced by: Fred Tatasciore

• Blind Seer: He is an elderly blind priest, but he briefly regains his sight whenever he's possessed by the New God.
• Crisis of Faith: Is in the midst of one when the New God finds him, with most of his brotherhood dead, and Midgard under attack. The New Gods aid in saving Midgard restores his faith in the God's, forming the Faith Stone.
• Magic Knight: Despite his age he is still as capable with a sword as he is with magic.
