Fictional Character Biography
Frey is an Asgardian, and helped construct Valhalla.
After Asgard was attacked, Odin bribed two giants named Fafnir and Fasolt to restore the walls of Valhalla, by promising them Frey's sister Idunn. Loki promised Odin that he would not have to pay the price, but as he was hoping to cause Ragnarok, Loki turned Idunn over to them anyway. Thor and Frey then arrived to confront the giants and rescue her. Thor and Frey fought the two giants, but had to stand down when Odin revealed his oath to them. The giants agreed that they would relinquish Idunn if the gods gave them the Ring of the Nibelung. After Thor, Odin, and Loki retrieved the Ring from the gnomes, Frey was happily reunited with Idunn.
During his life, Frey fell in love with the Giant Gerd. He has to surrendered his magic sword to Gymir, her father, as an oath to never touch his land.
During the period The Lost Gods, Frey is known under the name Mr. Freystein.
Because of the events of Ragnarok, Frey has most likely suffered the same events that destroyed the rest of the Asgardians.

Insignificant though he may be, he is conscious of possessing a creative divinity. God creates lives; the man of imagination creates fictional lives which may make a profound and as it were more living impression on the world’s memory.”
