Spoilers Ahead forGod of War: Ragnarok
11Magni And Modi
Magni and Modi are ranked at the bottom of the Aesir gods for a reason. It’s unfortunate to see the sons of Thor regarded so poorly, but it just goes to show how little they care about their god-kin. Even Odin, the grandfather of Magni and Modi declares them “kind of useless.”
Magni and Modi had a lot to prove, and live up to when it came to their role as gods. They were the sons of the beloved and violent Thor, who often abused them into becoming destroyers, much like he regarded himself.
10Lady Sif
As one of the more Higher classes Aesir gods, Sif has since turned her back on her ways after the death of her boys, Magni and Modi. She spends her time trying to keep her daughter, Thrud, safe while keeping her husband Thor on the straight path, free from the alcohol that plagued them both.
Sif harbors a justifiable grudge against Atreus, considering the boy that killed her sons is Odin’s new favorite. However, Sif does nothing more than become vocal about her displeasure, rather than take action herself.
9Tyr
There was a lot of mystery built into what Tyr would be like inGod of War: Ragnarok. The Norse god had been teased throughoutGod of War(2018), with his travels across the world being a major revelation for where theGod of Warfranchise could go next.

When players finally meet Tyr inGod of War: Ragnarok, he is almost a shell of the god he was. He swears off violence and seems to make his allies doubt their plans. However, this could be for good reason, as perhapsTyr is not whom he seems.
8Freyr
As a Vanir god, Freyr has a rightful hatred of the Aesir. Not only have they burned and tortured him, and ravished Vanaheim with war, but they have also forced his sister into a marriage with the cruel Odin. Freyr may have not seen his sister Freya in years, but that doesn’t mean he does not fight for her.
When players meet Freyr, he is somewhat strict and reliant on others. Either the years of this fight have made him tired, or he was never the warrior and heroic god the people of Alfheim saw him as. That won’t stop Freyr from trying, and if need be, sacrificing himself.
7Thrud
The daughter of Thor and Sif has a lot to live up to. She wants to become a Valkarie, gain her grandfather’s approval, and honor the memory of her slain brothers. Thrud is still a child inGod of War: Ragnarok, and thus she has much to learn, but that doesn’t stop her from trying her hardest.
Thrud is trusting, and willing to see the good in everyone. She has no superiority complex, nor the cruelty of her father. If there’s one thing Thrud wants, it’s to make her father proud.
6Baldur
The man that can feel no pain, nor touch or taste for that matter. Baldur is Odin’s best tracker. Or more importantly, he was, until Kratos snapped the man’s neck after weakening him from mistletoe. Baldur’s death began Fimbulwinter, and as such, the road to Ragnarok itself.
Baldur was a greatly important god. Not only to the Aesir, or the grieving and vengeful mother, Freya, but as a reminder to Atreus, to be better.
5Heimdall
Surprisingly enough, Heimdall is not the god of being a jerk, although he certainly excels at it. Heimdall is one of those characters that audiences love to hate, and he’s masterfully played. Heimdall is a great warrior and ally to Odin, and perhaps the truest believer of his cause.

Heimdall can predict every move someone makes, and knows every true thought inside them. This makes Heimdall a grand threat, due to his ability to see everything before it happens.
4Thor
The God of Thunder is a destroyer and has committed many atrocities across the Nine Realms. From his genocide of the giants of Jotunheim to his lust for alcohol and a good fight.Thor is ruthless, but he’s trying to be a better father in the wake of Magni and Modi’s deaths.
Thor is perhaps Odin’s greatest ally. Not for his mind, but for his power. Odin belittles and abuses his son into doing his bidding, and seems more like a dog to Odin than a son. That doesn’t stop Thor from being utterly ruthless.
3Freya
Freya has a lot of anger festering inside her. However, she does not allow it to overcome who she truly is. Freya was married to Odin, a husband who saw her eternal imprisonment and exile to Midgard. Freya then had to watch her son Baldur die at the hands of Kratos, robbing her of the decision.
Freya inGod of War: Ragnarokis someone who has begun a long path to redemption, and trust. The former Valkyrie Queen has great powers and her magic abilities are great, and only grow as she walks the righteous path with Kratos and Atreus.
2Odin
Everyone wants theattention of the All-Father.Odin seems always busy and never has enough time for everyone. He has the respect and love of his Aesir gods and the fear of everyone else in the Nine Realms.
Odin is an intensely powerful being, with a demand for knowledge of all the happenings and goings in the Nine Realms, as well as beyond it. Odin may not seem like it, but he is a very capable fighter in weaponry, both physical and magical, and as cunning as he is cruel and selfish.
