Vé also known as Vé Borrson (Translation: Vé, Son of Borr) is the Norse God of countenance, speech, hearing, and sight. He is the younger brother of Odin and Vili. He is the uncle of Thor, Týr, Heimdall and Baldur.
Norse Mythology[]
In Old Norse, Vé means “Temple. Vé and Vili, together with Óðinn, are the three brothers who slew Ymir — ending the primeval rule of the race of giants — and are the first of the Æsir. Óðin is the eldest, Vili the middle, and Ve the youngest. To the first human couple, Ask and Embla, Óðinn gave soul and life; Vili gave wit (intelligence) and sense of touch; and Vé gave countenance (appearance, facial expression), speech, hearing, and sight.
Odin, Vili, and Ve were the first true Aesir gods to exist. Their parents were the proto-god Borr and the giantess Bestla. The three brothers slew the giant Ymir, the first being who had come into existence, and fashioned the cosmos from his corpse.
In the God of War Series[]
Prior to the Game[]
Vé was a grandson of Búri the first of the Aesir gods, who had sprung from Ymir, the first Giant and father of all life and one of the sons of Borr. Vé, along with his elder brothers Odin and Vili, felt that the Aesir were fit to be the supreme rulers of the Nine Realms and killed anyone else who stood in their path, with Odin himself killing Ymir and taking the place of the "Allfather", after which Ymir's blood drowned all Jötnar, except Bergelmir and his wife.
God of War (2018)[]
While not actually making an appearance in the game, he is pictured in Ymir's Shrine where he and Vili are shown next to Odin stabbing Ymir.
Almost nothing is known about him afterwards, but he is presumably have participated the Long War between the Aesir and Vanir. After the Goddesses Nerthus was slain by Magni and Modi, the great warriors of Asgard, including him and Vili, Hodr, and Hœnir, celebrate it by feasting on Odin's silver hall of Valaskjálf. The next day, the All-Father deployed a large number of Aesir fleet and warriors onto Vanaheim to crush the Vanir once more, only to have being swept away by a devastating hurricane winds summoned by Njörd[1]
