Týr is the Aesir God of Law and War. In Norse mythology he is associated with heroic glory and always fought for peace. In Ragnarök, Kratos and his son Atreus will begin their quest to find Týr and overturn the prophecy of the events foretold in Ragnarök. Mimir tried to tell them that Týr was dead after learning Kratos’s intentions. Kratos eventually found Týr in the prison and helped him flee.

Odin is the Norse God of Death, War, Sky and Magic and claims the throne of Asgard. In Norse mythology, Odin was one of the best wizards among gods and had a magical horse known as Sleipnir. According to Mimir, he was extremely clever and one of the cruelest in Norse mythology. He figured out that the arrival of Kratos and Atreus in Ragnarök had an important role. It is said that he feared Kratos, even though he only knew that Kratos is extremely powerful and nothing else about him.


4) Atreus

Atreus is the son of Laufey and Kratos, and played an important role in God of War (2018). Being the son of an Aesir God and a Jotuun, Atreus possessed a lot of superhuman abilities, but due to his age and years of sickness, he is still far from reaching his potential. According to the Fandom website, he is the Future God of Evil, Mischief, Serpents, Deception, and Magic, and is also referred to as Loki in Norse mythology.


5) Freya
