Template:Infobox godsStarkaðr is a Jötunn featured in God of War (2018).
Biography
Starkaðr was a Giant with eight arms whose might terrified even Thor, the Giant-slayer. Mimir believed that if the Giants ever organized an army, Starkadr would be their general. As Odin's advisor, Mimir told Odin of his opinion, a decision he later regretted.
Odin sought to have Starkaðr killed and chose to slander Starkaðr's reputation, branding him though out the realms as a monster to be feared. This led the Vanir gods and the armies of Midgard to assist in taking down Starkaðr.
Starkaðr surrendered and hoped a trial would clear his name. However, Thor took the opportunity to attack Starkaðr, tearing his arms one by one until the Mighty Giant bled to death on the battlefield.
Powers and Abilities
Starkaðr is said to be the strongest among the Jötnar, he's strong enough to battle the forces of Asgard, Vanaheim, and Midgard at once despite being defeated in the end. As a frost giant it's possible that he's also able to control ice.
