Freyr, also known as Yngvi, is the Vanir God of Rain and Fertility. He is the son of Njörd and Nerthus, the brother of Freya, father of Fjölnir, and the uncle of Baldur.
He is introduced in God of War: Ragnarök as a supportive character. Leader of the Vanir resistance against the Asgardians, he eventually crosses the path of Kratos and Mimir as the two of them travelled to Vanaheim in order to help Freya break Odin's hold on her.
