The Odinsson

Thor is one of the most well-known and most powerful of the Norse gods. There are many remaining stories of his exploits, which include him cross-dressing to retrieve Mjolnir back from the giant Thrym, a tale where he went fishing and accidentally rigged in Jormundgand, and one where he was tricked into performing a series of impossible tasks through magical ruses. He has a strange relationship with Loki; sometimes they co-operate on adventures, at other times they are bitter enemies.

At Ragnarok he is fated to fight and kill Jormundgand. In turn, he will be poisoned by its venom, walk nine steps, and die.

Thor in God of War

In God of War, Thor is depicted as a villain. He is described as a tall, fat, and strong warrior with a violent, brutal, and destructive nature, thus Odin sent him to kill all giants to prevent the Ragnarok.

Although Thor himself is not showing up in the gameplay, his two sons Magni and Modi are bosses in God of War 2018. After Magni was killed by Kratos, Thor blamed Modi for being a coward and nearly beat him to death.

A text in the game also reveals that Thor's destined enemy is the World Serpent, and their battle in the future trembles the Yggdrasil, sending the serpent back in time to the current time.

Thor appears in the hidden ending as a man wearing a cloak, he came to Kratos's house along with thunder and storms, lifting his cloak to reveal the Mjolnir.
