The Muspels were a faction of Isu who primarily operated in the realm of Múspellsheimr. Millenia after the Great Catastrophe, they would be remembered by humans as "fire jötnar" who were led by Surtr during Ragnarök.[1]
History
The Muspels were a splinter group from the main jötnar faction who were ruled by the Isu tyrant and genocidal warlord, Surtr.[2] It has been told by Surtr's estranged daughter Eysa that Surtr regularly makes the Muspels commit atrocities amongst themselves in order to keep himself amused while in Múspellsheimr.
Unlike their frigid counterparts, the jötnar, most of the Muspels were genocidal extremists who blindly obeyed their tyrant's every command and would decimate any civilization they were commanded to, without mercy or conscience. They would also take pleasure in exercising their enormous sadistic appetites on any prisoners they take, and would prolong their captive's suffering. Even Odin admitted that the atrocities they commit and aberrations of nature they create are unnatural and something he would never wish on anyone, even on his former blood-brother Loki.
Aditionally, shortly after the Æsir–Vanir War, the Muspels invaded Álfheimr in the past and massacred all of the Elves, before Surtr tole all of their sacred knowledge regarding Hugr as well as using their "light" to render himself unkillable. In the vespers of the Great Catastrophe, the Muspels once again assisted Surtr in the invasion of the dwarven kingdom Svartálfaheimr with the intention of kidnapping Baldr. He also indented to massacre all of the dwarves as well as acquire the Salakars left by the Elves in the land many years prior.[3]
Notes
Given the fact that Sinmara was mass producing "hugrless" Muspel soldiers in Afalvat Mylna, it is never been clarified whether Muspel soldiers were comprised of actual Isu, human soldiers, other hominids (like Neanderthals) or were they artificial sentries like the Kolossi. [4]

Behind the scenes
Unlike the jötnar, the Muspels do not have a named equivalent in Norse mythology. Instead, they are only indirectly referred to in the Prose Edda as "Múspell's sons",[5] based on another name for Muspelheim from which the Assassin's Creed: Valhalla expansion Dawn of Ragnarök takes their name.
