–Mimir describing Surtr to Kratos and Atreus | ||
Template:Infobox gods Surtr is the first fire giant to be born and is the ruler of Muspelheim and the fire giants.
Norse Mythology
In Norse mythology, Surtr (Old Norse "black" or "the swarthy one") is a jötunn.
Surtr is foretold as being a major figure during the events of Ragnarök; carrying his bright sword, he will go to battle against the Æsir, and the major god Freyr of the Vanir. Afterward, the flames that he brings forth will engulf the Earth.
Biography
Not much is known about Surtr and he hasn't made any direct appearance yet. However, he is described as an ancient being that is first referenced when Kratos, Atreus and Mimir visit Muspelheim. Later, Mimir states that Surtr and the other fire giants will only appear when Ragnarök begins. Mimir notes that Surtr is destined to fall in battle against Thor and Odin, but will be able to destroy Asgard with his flames before they can kill him.
Surtr was created directly after Ymir in Muspelheim. He formed the Sun and the stars.
Surtr's sword remains in Muspelheim, and calls out to Kratos and Atreus to take on the realm's trials. Successfully completing each trial rewards Kratos with materials and new gear to craft.
Personality
Despite not appearing in the game, Surtr appears to be very dogmatic and selfless. He willingly continued upon the path prophesied for him so that the cycle of death and rebirth could continue; despite knowing this would end with his own death.
Powers and Abilities
As the ruler of Muspelheim and the first fire giant, Surtr holds tremendous levels of great power. He wields a sword he forged for himself, a blade alleged to be so strong that Mimir described it as a "weapon of legend", capable of bringing ruin to Asgard. Mimir states that Surtr has been training for millennia inside Muspelheim to prepare himself for Ragnarök; commending his skill in combat. Surtr's fires are described as enough to challenge both Odin and Thor, the most powerful of the Aesir gods, at the same time.
As the first fire giant, Surtr naturally possesses an affinity with the element. His existence breathed warmth into the cosmos, as he used his primordial fires to birth the stars themselves.
Trivia
- His Greek equivalent (in terms of abilities) is Perses, the titan of destruction.
- His sword can be found in Muspelheim embedded into the ground at the center of each arena.
- As a primordial figure of sorts, Surtr is one of the few beings in God of War (2018) to be directly born of Ginnungagap itself, arguably making him a younger "brother" of Ymir.
