Biography
The Builder arrived in Asgard after an attempted jötnar invasion[1] and promised protection in exchange for the sacred water from the Well of Urðr, which Odin acquired.[2] Odin and The Builder then created a magical barrier that could kill enemies of Asgard, and the jötunn expressed his desire to marry Freyja.[3] Odin brought the matter before Tyr, Loki, Thor, and Freyja herself.[4] Some time later, Odin defeated the Builder in battle and travelled to Jötunheimr in search of a way to save himself from his fated death in Ragnarök,[5] after remembering that the dwarven smith Ivaldi had mentioned the Builder once discussed the transferring of minds into other bodies with him.[6]
