Brok

Template:Infobox godsBrok is a character in God of War (2018). He is a Dwarf along with his brother Sindri. The pair were responsible for forging Kratos' axe Leviathan.

Sindri and Brok help Kratos and Atreus during their adventure. In their forge, they can improve the weapons and equipment of the Spartan and his son, as long as they are given the necessary materials.

Personality

Brok apparently has a personality that is the opposite of his brother's. He is impolite, impatient and has an explosive personality, as seen by his often swearing at Kratos and Atreus, and even giving his camel the name "fucking gratitude". He also rivals his brother in forging skills.

Despite his crude attitude, he does seem fond of Atreus. He appeared genuinely concerned when he learned Atreus was ill and offered to help Kratos seek out a cure.

Brok does seem to have a particular interest in the works of foreign realms, as he immediately sensed Kratos's Blades of Chaos, saying he reeked of "foreign magic". He knew immediately that the blades were not from the Nine Realms and were something special, despite Kratos's reservations on using the blades, to begin with.

Trivia

• Despite being dwarves, Brok and Sindri are still referred to as "the Huldra brothers", when the Hulder is an unrelated female species from Scandinavian folklore.
  • Atreus brings this up to Mimir at one point, and Mimir implies the reasons behind this are not suitable to tell a young child.
• His brother Sindri claims that his skin was blued due to his blacksmithing silver metals with his bare hands, which resulted in him developing Argyria.
• He and his brother were responsible for creating Thor's hammer, Mjölnir. Mimir claims that the two brothers were trying to make a name for themselves, but may have overdone it.
• He and his brother shared a brand that they used to mark their work, including marking Kratos' axe. When the two went their separate ways, they split the brand down the middle and each took half. Once reunited, they created a new brand.
• Brok's reaction seems to be fascinated that the Blades of Chaos are special.
• Along with Sindri, Brok knew of Faye's true nature as a Giant, as well as Atreus' status as a half-Giant.
• Brok is not allowed back in Alfheim because of swearing, and something that Atreus is not old enough for to hear.
• To comfort Kratos about his ill son, Brok claims to have once accidentally decapitated himself and says he's "no worse for wear".
