Thor was an Isu who was later revered as the warrior god of lightning and thunder in Norse and Germanic mythology. The son of Odin and husband of Sif, he was the wielder of the Mjölnir, an Isu artifact capable of generating weaponized electricity.
In Norse mythology, he was the archrival of Jörmungandr, the giant serpent that encircled the earth, whom he was fated to kill and fated to kill him in Ragnarök.
Names
In addition to being known as Thor, he was also called Thunor by the Anglo-Saxon pagans as well as by the title of the lord of storms.[1]
Biography
As the Great Catastrophe approached, Thor and the other eight Norse Isu uploaded their DNA data into Yggdrasil to be later redistributed into the human gene pool.[2] Millennia later in 790 CE, Thor was successfully reincarnated as Halfdan Ragnarsson.[1]
Legacy
During the 10th century, the night before Styrbjörn the Strong was to go into battle against Harald Bluetooth, one of his Jomsvikings made an offering to Thor and claimed to have been granted a vision of Styrbjörn sailing home with Harald tied to his mast.[3]
