'''Gylfi''' was the [[Isu Era]] King of what is now Sweden preceding [[Odin]], usually considered a [[Norse mythology|mythological]] figure.

==Biography==
Gylfi fell in love with a woman, who later revealed herself as {{Wiki|Gefjon}}. Gylfi was angered by her reveal as she split his kingdom in half. From then, he believed he had been lied to and that the gods had played a nasty trick on him.<ref name="Ragnarok Ep2">''[[Echoes of History|Echoes of History: Ragnarök]]'' – Episode 2: Nine Vast and Rich Realms</ref>

Wishing to know more about the [[Æsir]] after Gefjon's betrayal, Gylfi traveled to [[Asgard]] to ask the three rulers, {{Wiki|High, Just-as-High, and Third}} details on all he had questions about. The stories of [[Ginnungagap]], the [[Jötnar]], men and gods left Gylfi speechless. He especially felt for Odin and his fated end.<ref name="Ragnarok Ep1">''[[Echoes of History|Echoes of History: Ragnarök]]'' – Episode 1: The Birth of the Universe</ref> The three rulers proceeded to tell Gylfi more about Odin, Gylfi wanted to hear more about the {{Wiki|Æsir–Vanir War}}. Though he thought their lack of humility was amusing.<ref name="Ragnarok Ep2"/>

While in Asgard, although not wanting to seem rude to his hosts, Gylfi asks what feats they had performed that made them worthy of adoration. They told them stories of Thor and Loki, among others. Amazed at the stories of Thor, Gylfi remained wary of Loki.<ref>''[[Echoes of History|Echoes of History: Ragnarök]]'' – Episode 3: Exploits of the Gods</ref> Intent on learning more about Loki, Gylfi was shocked to hear about the hand Loki played in [[Baldr]]'s death.<ref>''[[Echoes of History|Echoes of History: Ragnarök]]'' – Episode 4: Loki, the Fun God turned Murderous Pariah</ref>

Pushing for more information on the supposed end of the world that Ragnarök would bring, after being told all the stories that High, Just-as-High, and Third had to offer, Gylfi left Asgard. Before leaving, the three rulers told Gylfi to spread the stories that they told him, to which he did.<ref>''[[Echoes of History|Echoes of History: Ragnarök]]'' – Episode 5: Ragnarök, Twilight of the Gods</ref>
