The Builder was an Isu and one of the jötnar in Norse mythology.
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]
Behind the scenes
The Builder is a mythical figure and character appearing in Assassin's Creed: Valhalla, where he is portrayed by Joi Johannsson.
The unnamed builder is attested to in the Prose Edda, where he arrives in Asgard offering to build a fortification—Asgard's walls—and requested Freyja's hand in marriage as the payment. Loki's deceptive impersonation of Freyja also happens, and a fight breaks out with the Builder when things go awry, though the original tale has Thor kill him with Mjölnir instead of being defeated by Odin.
