Template:Infobox godsAndvari was a powerful enchanter and currently serves as an ally of Kratos and Atreus. He was Brok's friend some years prior to the game. He is a supportive character in God of War.
In Norse Mythology
In Norse mythology, Andvari (Old Norse "careful one") is a dwarf who lives underneath a waterfall and has the power to change himself into a fish at will.
Andvari had a magical ring Andvaranaut, which helped him become wealthy. Using a net provided by Ran, Loki catches him as a pike and forces him to give up his gold and Andvaranaut. Andvari cursed the stolen gold which would destroy anyone who possessed it. After the deaths of Brynhild and Sigurd, Gunnar left Andvari's gold in a cave. Years later, Andvari discovered the cave and his lost gold, although his ring was lost forever.
Biography
God of War (2018)
Before the action of the game, Andvari made a debt with his friend Brok. During one of his expeditions he was attacked by Soul-Eater. While being ripped apart he casted a spell which locked his soul into his ring, in order to save his soul from being absorbed by his opponent. Little did he knew that the debt he made, would save his life.
Personality
While talking to Atreus, he was rather loud, mean and irritating but after being saved from Brok's remelting he calmed down and accepted his fate.
Powers and Abilities
As a dwarf, Andvari was a skilled blacksmith and enchanter, capable of locking his soul inside the ring.
While losing these abilities due to his current state, according to the codex Kratos can use this soul in the ring to enchant his weapons and armours.
Trivia
- Andvari possessed a magical hammer, which was a good tool in Kratos' eyes.
- Curious enough, since Andvari is trapped as a soul in his ring which potentially come into the possession of Kratos and Atreus, he could be the second other entity to go through the Journey with the duo, after Mimir.
- If he is not removed from the inventory, then its possible that he made it to Jotunheim's peak with Kratos and Atreus, which is strange since the moment was to be only between the two.
- Andvari is deceased physical body, but his soul passed inside the ring which makes him alive.
