Thor

Thor is the Norse Aesir god of thunder and one of the strongest Asgardians. He is married to the Norse goddess Sif and the father of demigods Lars Alhstrom and Gunilla.

The Sword of Summer
The thunder God is first seen in Jotunheim being drowned by a female Jotunn, whom Jack quickly slays. Thor then invites them to dinner and sends Magnus and his friends on a quest to find his "not officially missing" hammer Mjølnir.

After the group kill the giant Geirrod and his daughters Gjalp and Greip, Thor then appears on his flying chariot, (having sensed Gunilla's presence) much to their annoyance. He accepts his staff and send the four to where each of them needs to be, but not before asking the group to not tell anyone about Mjølnir being missing, especially his children.

Appearance
Thor was described as a god with shoulder-length red hair, a curly red beard and bodybuilder arms. He wears a sleeveless leather jerkin, dark iron gauntlets (that are reminiscent of robot hands) and a chain mail vest. Thor's face is handsome "in a beat-up way", like he’d spent years in the boxing ring. Unlike his Marvel movie version, "there is nothing polished about [him]", since Thor is quite unkempt, with his chain mail shirt being filthy, and his leather jerkin and trousers worn to the color of dirty snow. In addition, he also usually has goat grease in his beard, from eating Otis and Marvin so many times.

Thor has the name of his wife Sif tattooed on his left biceps inscribed inside a heart. He has a stylized tattoo of Jormungand the World Serpent coiled around his right forearm. Across his knuckles on either hand, in block letters, are the names of his sons Modi and Magni.

Abilities

 * Massive Strength: Thor has incredible superhuman strength, being one of the strongest gods. Even just a light clap on the shoulder from him dislocated several of Magnus's joints.
 * Electrokinesis: As the god of Thunder, Thor has absolute control over electricity, and generates electrical sparks from his hands, ears, and rear when excited.

Attributes
Thor's primary attribute is his mighty hammer Mjølnir, the most powerful weapon in all of Norse mythology. His other attributes include his iron gauntlets Járngreipr (which he is required to wear while handling his hammer), and his magic belt Megingjörð (which doubles his strength when he wears it), as well as a mighty Bone Steel staff, his secondary weapon (used when he loses his hammer).

Attendants
Thor has two loyal attendants: the goats Tanngnjóstr/Otis and Tanngrisnr/Marvin, who pull his chariot. They are killed and eaten by the god every evening, with them always resurrecting the next morning. He is also frequently accompanied by his regular manservant, Thjalfi, though Thor granted him a furlough due to the stress shortly before The Sword of Summer.
