Blitzen

Blitzen is a Svartalf dwarf son of Freya, and a friend of Magnus Chase. Posing as a homeless man, he, along with Hearthstone, was watching over Magnus per Mimir's orders.

History
Blitzed was born to Bilì, a dwarf, and Freya, the goddess of love and beauty. At one point in his life he lost his father to Fenris Wolf when he went to check on Gleipnir, which was the robe that bound the Wolf. He studied fashion in school. When he first met Hearthstone he made the elf a tanning bed so he would not die, as elves need sunlight. Blitz, as well as Hearth, drank from Mimir's well so he could avenge his father, restore his family's honor, and have the other dwarves stop laughing at him and relies his dream. In exchange he had to work for the severed head for four years. During that time he and Hearth were ordered to watch over Magnus Chase after his mother died. He would take night shifts, due to sun light petrifying him, while Hearth took the day shifts.

The Sword of Summer
Blitz warns Magnus that two people are looking for Magnus and are passing flyers around town for him. He tells them that a middle aged-man and teenage girl are looking for him. He then tells Magnus to go see Hearth, to be careful, and then quickly disappears before Magnus can say anything back. Later Blitzen and Hearth attack Surt to protect Magnus. After a short fight he kicks Blitzen across Longfellow bridge. When Magnus take the Black One on, he takes Randolph off the bridge.

He and Hearthstone search the nine worlds for Magnus. They find him, but he breaks his arm which Magnus heals. They are about to tell him about why they where watching him, when the squirrel alarm sounds. The three flee into the hall when Magnus' hall mates offer to cover them while they go to Midgard. They wind up at Fenway where they tell Magnus that they where told he was a son of Frey and to watch him. He stays behind while Hearth and Magnus look for his sword due to sunlight petrifying him.

Blitz meets up with Magnus and Hearth at the T stop. He has a bag which worries Hearth. When Magnus tells him the sword is not with his body and Hearth was knocked out, when they spot Sam and follow her. They follow her until they loss and plan to go to the Charles to find the Sword. Sam then assaults them until Magnus disarms her. After a short argument she joins them. The four travel to a dock where he throws Mimir into the water to hydrate him. He explains to them that they have until next week to find the sword and delay Ragnarok. Blitz gets worried at the mention of Fenris Wolf. Mimir offers them knowledge in exchange for their servaces. They decline and he leaves. They decide to talk about it over lunch.

On their way to lunch he hides in the shadows to avoid being petrified. When they reach the food court at the transportation building, he and Hearth grab a table and have an argument in sign language. when Magnus and Sam get back they are approached by a pigeon who threatens them with no lunch if they do not listen to him, Magnus agrees despite the others urging not to. He brings them their lunch in the form of an eagle and eats it. Sam then claims it is a jotnar. When it takes of with Magnus he, Sam and Hearth follow it and find him on the roof of the Boston public library. When he climbs down and tells them what he found out, they say he made a bad move but never the less leave to go fishing.

When they reach the docks Harald lets the demigods use his boat but not him and Hearth. When Hearth hits a bucket on his head it dents on his skull. He agrees to find shelter and meet Sam and Magnus at the library. While the demigods go fishing, he and Hearthstone do some research as to what to do next. They wait for Magnus at the public library and talk with Big Boy, the pigeon, while they wait. When he leaves Magnus suddenly appears and the three are startled but compare notes. When the finish he is worried what this might mean. He hands the others sandwiches and sleeping bags. When Hearth falls asleep he and Magnus talk about bone steel and elf culture. He then tells Magnus they will climb Yggdrasil in the morning to get to his home world.

He helps Sam and Hearth hold off the advancing Valkyries and einherjar. When Magnus opens the rift he is the first one in. When they arrive at the world tree they start to climb branches until they find a knothole leading where Sumarbrander, the sword, wants to go. Hearth then gets stuck and they are attacked by Ratatosk. He and Magnus flee into the vanishing knothole while Sam covers Hearth with her hijab, which camouflages them.

He and Magnus land in Volkswagen where the light does not petrifie him. He leads Magnus to the Hall of Many Seats. Along the way they are greeted by warriors that Blitz does not care for. When they get to the boat they meet the goddess Freya, his mother. He forces himself to listen to his mother as she tells them to get her new earrings in Nidavellir. She gives them a pouch of red gold and sends them to the land of dwarves.

When he arrives he talks bad about Blitz's father and mocks how he died. Blitz shows him the red gold at Magnus' urging and the two agree to a contest of crafting. When Junior leaves Sam and Hearth enter and he is hugged by the elf. They fill each other in on their stories and Blitz says he is no good at crafting and that Junior is the best. He then says that if he loses he will be decapitated. He takes everyone back to his apartment and makes them egg rolls. He explains the contest in more depth and tells then why Junior hates him and what happened to his father. After that he head to his bedroom.

Junior gives him the first three but said he lied about visiting the island. He says that the island's location is classified but that Thor might know where it is.When Junior realizes Sam was a shapeshifter, and sabotaged the contest, he and the others ran for their lives. While running he tells everyone to duck into an ally, where he is caught in a net and taken to to his mother.
