Magni Thorson

Magni, son of noble Thor and his Midgard wife Gothilde, was a half-god with his feet on the Earth and his head in shining Asgard. Thor was a consummate warrior who taught his son the skills of battle, but Gothilde taught her son other qualities the gods lacked—humility and patience. With an uncle like Balder the Brave and grandparents in Odin and Frigga, Magni was well loved by the gods, but as a half-mortal, he also spent years on Midgard, learning to be human.   Unfortunately, when Loki broke free of his prison, and Heimdall sounded the trumpet to warn of Ragnarok, Thor and Odin were unwilling to let Magni fall with them. He was young and still had much to learn and many years to live. The All-Father gave Magni a gift of two hammers, forged by the dwarves from the heart of the giants Ymir and Surtur. Magni believed he was being readied for the final bat­tle, but before he knew it, his father and grandparents bade him a fond farewell…and cast him from that reality with their combined powers.   Magni was devastated. He could not return home, could not fight and die alongside his family. He tried desper­ately to return, but he lacked the power to do what took Odin and Thor together to accomplish. He wandered, his heart broken.   When Navagatrix and the others found Magni, he was locked in pitched battle with the god-heroes of that dimension. They had taken umbrage at his presence and har­ried him relentlessly. Navigatrix saved the young god and even tried to return him home, but Ragnarok had closed the dimensional paths to it forever. Magni was truly stranded, but no longer alone.   Since then, Magni has wielded the twin hammers, Surtur and Ymir, to protect his new family, and he’s fascinated with this version of Earth. It bears the legends of the Norse gods, which brings him some measure of comfort. The Aesir of Earth-Prime still observe the treaty of non-interference forged with the Master Mage, but apparently it doesn’t cover demi-gods from parallel dimen­sions, so Magni goes unmolested, but unable to contact his “kin.” (In fact, there is an Earth-Prime Magni as well, part of the Norse pantheon and son of Thor and a giantess rather than a human. He, too, is constrained from visiting Earth by the pact.)   Magni knows of one other on Midgard with ties to the Golden Realm, and he is disturbed at what he hears about this warrior who dares call himself “Ragnarok”. One day, he knows they will meet in battle, and he will have his opportunity to fight Ragnarok after all.   In the meantime, Magni has found a worthy sparring partner in Megastar, and he has found himself drawn to the lovely Nereid, who reminds him so much of the daughters of Njord, but he’s not quite sure how to approach her.
