Frey

Frey, also spelled Freyr, is the Norse Vanir god of peace and fertility, wealth, rain, summer, and sunshine. He is the twin brother of Freya, and the father of Magnus Chase.

The Sword of Summer
Frey appears before Magnus for the first time once Magnus is on the verge of death from healing his friend Halfborn. Frey is welcomed with warm arms by Magnus who goes into hug him. Frey tells Magnus that he will never wield Sumarbrander ever again to which the sword happily agrees. Frey mentions that he will die Ragnarök and that Magnus is the lost hope for the Nine Worlds. Frey encourages Magnus to contact his cousin Annabeth Chase and promises that he will meet Magnus again before he's is woken up by his friends.

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 Thor from the Marvel movies 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.

He is seen by Magnus wearing faded jeans, a flannel shirt, and hiking boots that Magnus thought was his mother's style.

Trivia

 * Frey's Greco-Roman counterparts (in terms of attributes) would be both Zephyros/Favonius and Demeter/Ceres 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 one of the Norse gods destined by be slain by his own 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 Sumarbrander before giving it away to his servant Skírnir.
 * Interestingly, Frey resembles the Marvel movies' version of Thor more than the actual Thor himself does.
 * His current weapon is a deer antler.
