Thialfi was born several centuries prior and was originally a human whose family was attacked by
Viking marauders from the north. They murdered his father and left him and his mother P'aesi to die. Later, when the Vikings were celebrating their victory and giving praise to
Odin and
Asgard,
Thor appeared before them to join in their revelry. P'aesi interrupted them, however; she accused Thor of inciting the Vikings to murder. Thor denied this, claiming death was simply a consequence of battle. P'aesi assured Thor that there was no battle, merely slaughter. Thor decided to see the battlefield and judge for himself, but as he walked away a Viking declared P'aesi a blasphemer and killed her. Thor's father Odin told him to ignore the humans, as they were inherently flawed. Thor was galled at Odin's apparent lack of compassion and demanded that he at least help Thialfi, who had been orphaned. Odin agreed and used the Odinforce to transform Thialfi into an Asgardian "blessed with wisdom, insight and speed enow to escape any enemy." In return, Thor found Thialfi a home in Asgard; upon Thialfi's coming of age, Thor would return to him and treat him as he would his closest friend. Thialfi emerges in the year 2170 to find that Thor has transformed Earth into New Asgard. At first, Thialfi is overjoyed that Thor has put the gods' power to use constructing a utopia for the humans Thialfi still identified with. After Kya, the daughter of the
Scarlet Witch, and her band of resistance fighters show him
Mjolnir abandoned, Thialfi begins to doubt Thor. His fears are confirmed when he witnessed
Loki's police force quell an uprising through sheer brutality without trying to find another solution. After exchanging words with Thor's son
Magni, which planted the same seed of doubt that Kya had given him, Thialfi resolves to kill Thor. Thor's wife, the
Enchantress, frees Odin's pet wolf
Freki, who kills Thialfi. ==Powers and abilities==
