[[folder:Byggvir and Beyla]]

->'''Voiced by:''' Daniel Kountz (English, Byggvir), Morla Gorrondona (English, Beyla)

A couple made up of a Light Elf (Byggvir) and a Dark Elf (Beyla) who abandoned the war in their realm and joined their leader Freyr in Vanaheim.
----
* AscendedExtra: Downplayed since they're still minor side-characters, but they do get some backstory and characterization whereas in the Norse myths they only appear very briefly in the ''Lokasenna'' poem solely to be insulted by Loki.
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: In myth both of them are Vanir gods (or perhaps Freyr's human servants). Here they are both different species of Elves.
* BattleCouple: While Beyla is the most experienced fighter of the group, the couple fights side by side during [[spoiler:Ragnarök]].
* ForbiddenLove: The two are married, despite their races being in a ForeverWar. Thus they live in exile.
* HappilyMarried: Despite the contrast between Byggvir's more approachable and polite and Beyla's colder and more stoic personality, it's left clear the two love each other immensely.
* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: Both want to know more as to how the original Elves divided into light and dark, despite both species leadership's obsession. Both also hope for coexistence between both types of Elves. Byggvir's been jailed by his own kind for these thoughts.
* NiceGuy: Byggvir is considerably more polite and welcoming towards Kratos than his wife is.
* OppositesAttract: Besides being on the opposites sides of a long war and representing light and dark, Byggvir is a welcoming scholar who is interested in learning about Kratos' homeland due to Greece's fame of philosophers and poets, while Beyla is a stoic and laconic warrior and the best fighter from Freyr's resistence. Regardless, the two fell in love and hope for the reconnection between both kinds of Elves one day.
* TokenHeroicOrc: Both the Light and Dark Elves act as enemies and attack anyone they consider a threat to their victory on sight, but Byggvir and Beyla hope for a day in which the two kinds coexist and are friendly to Kratos.

[[folder:Birgir]]

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JimPirri (English)

A traveler that lost his way, until he met Freyr.
----
* {{BFS}}: He wield a giant glowing, rune-inscribed sword.
* TheBigGuy: Both figuratively and literally among Freyr's resistance.
* DefectorFromDecadence: He's a former traveler, now who fights to liberate Vaneheim.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Jumps out of Freyr's flying boat to take out attacking Wyvern, falling seemingly to his death. Turns out he survived... by rolling.]]
* MadeOfIron: He survives [[spoiler:flinging himself off Freyr's flying boat and can be found in Vanaheim later on. When asked how he simply replies "I rolled." Ironically right after his fall Freyr correctly guesses Birgir's still alive and uninjured.]]
* MightyGlacier: As befitting a former Traveler. He's also huge, almost as tall as Kratos while just sitting at the campfire.
* RetiredBadass: By the end of the game.
* TokenHeroicOrc: He is the only Traveler to not only be not hostile, but friendly towards the player, having realized his fanatism for the Path was unfounded and leaving his old ways. [[spoiler:On the quest to rescue him, Kratos will encounter no fewer than three other Travelers hunting him down for abandoning the Path.]]
* WreckedWeapon: His greatsword is broken a third of the way from the tip. And even then, it's ''still'' [[{{BFS}} almost as long as he is tall]].
* UndyingLoyalty: He's fiercely loyal to Freyr for giving him a purpose in life.

[[folder:Lúnda]]

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MilanaVayntrub (English)

A dwarf and an old friend of Brok. She serves a support role with Freyr's group, building gear, traps and medicine.
----
* AmbiguouslyBi: Can come onto Freya at one point yet also admires Kratos' figure and calls him handsome.
* TheBlacksmith: Like Brok and Sindri to Team Kratos, she's the blacksmith of Freyr's group. [[spoiler:Following Brok's death and Sindri's estrangement from his friends, she adds them to her client list.]]
* ButchLesbian: She is either this or Butch Bisexual (given her possible interest in Kratos), but either way, she has an obvious attraction Freya, as seen by her flirting when she talks about upgrading Freya's gear, and her working in a smithy, coupled with her overall demeanor, is very macho.
* ChekhovsSkill: Brok teaches her the same OffscreenTeleportation skills he and his brother use. [[spoiler:Following Brok's death she is able to use it to take their place in providing upgrades]].
* ChivalrousPervert: Although she's very blatant in hitting on Kratos, she does ask him if he's comfortable with it and asks if he wants her to stop. Kratos was initially uncomfortable but got used to it.
* DistaffCounterpart: She's basically a female Brok, with the same colorful vernacular and skills, including being able to move between worlds [[spoiler:and, after Brok's death (and Sindri's refusal to have anything to do with Atreus) being the source of upgrades and enhancements for Kratos and co.]].
* EatingTheEyeCandy: Makes numerous observations about the attractiveness of both Kratos and Freya. At one point, she asks Kratos if she should stop about him. [[NotSoAboveItAll He tells her no.]]
* GogglesDoNothing: She wears welding goggles on her head but never actually uses them to protect her eyes when working on her forge.
* InsubstantialIngredients: Freyr can mention in ambient dialogue that she once made a suit of armor out of a dog's barks.
* TheMedic: She's the one in charge of medicine in camp.
* UnexplainedAccent: For some reason, she has a Southern US accent, complete with using euphemisms common with it.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Helka]]

A hound that Freyr rescued.
----
* BigFriendlyDog: A bigger than average bloodhound.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Was near death when the resistance found her and most of them thought she was done for, except Freyr who nursed her back to health.
* TheNoseKnows: She is a bloodhound. [[spoiler:And is able to smell Birgir from miles away.]]
* TeamPet: Is this for the resistance.

* AndYourLittleDogToo: Starólfr the Troublesome was infamous for assassinating the family members of her enemies instead of her enemies themselves, aiming to break them mentally.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: King Hrólf Kraki is just as strong as Sigrun and will make even a maxed out and geared up Kratos earn his victory against this long dead king. [[spoiler:He's the only berserker who [[DefiantToTheEnd resists]] Kratos' FinishingMove, knocking away the Leviathan Axe with Skofnung and trying to attack the unarmed Kratos with it one last time before he's overpowered, impaled with the blade himself and then decapitated on the backswing when Kratos summons the axe back to him]].

* DesecratingTheDead: Hjalti the Stolid was known in life to not stop attacking once an opponent had died, and would bludgeon the corpse into pulp with her maces.

** Early on, it's shown that the woods she and her family lived in were guarded by a protection stave and she tricked Kratos into cutting down trees that maintained it. The implications of both the deception and it's immediate aftermath, a visit from [[TheHeavy the Stranger,]] clearly unsettles Kratos. [[spoiler:The final part of the game reveals at the time the mural of their travels was painted Faye intended, or at least was fine with, Kratos and Atreus coming into serious conflict with the Aesir that will involve Kratos's death. Ragnarok subverts this by revealing Faye grew disillusioned with the plan and worked to undermine it.]]

** And to Heimdall, a god who can also read other people's minds and is just as much of a [[DeadpanSnarker deadpan snarky]] {{Jerkass}} as the Norns, if not worse. The difference is that the TheReasonYouSuckSpeech they deliver is actually helpful for Kratos and Freya to rethink their ways, while Heimdall only dissects other people's flaws out of sheer spite.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/LaniMinella (English, ''God of War [2018]''); Misty Lee (English, ''God of War: Ragnarök'')

** And also to Heimdall, a god who can also read other people's minds and is just as much of a [[DeadpanSnarker deadpan snarky]] {{Jerkass}} as the Norns. The difference is that the TheReasonYouSuckSpeech they deliver is actually helpful for Kratos and Freya to rethink their ways, while Heimdall only dissects other people's flaws out of sheer spite.

* GoodCounterpart: To the Greek Fates; while the Fates decided to crush Kratos' dreams of redemption while stringing him along [[ItAmusedMe for entertainment]], the Norns are up front and honest about doubts Kratos and Freya will be able to escape their fate [[spoiler:because as they reveal, dark fate is a SelfInflictedHell, where free will means that prophecy is simply a prediction of what will happen if you don't account for your ''own'' choices. This provokes a JerkassRealization on both Kratos and Freya's part.]]

* HistoricalDomainCharacter: King Hrólf was actually a legendary Danish king, and ''Literature/TheSagaOfHrolfKraki'' is [[Literature/TheIcelandicSagasa legendary Icelandic Saga]] that tells the story of this mythical Danish king who would have lived – if he lived - in the early 6th century. Hrólf Kraki has a similar legendary status as King Arthur of Britain, in that he may have or may not have existed in real life. However, this version is much more villainous and less legitimate.

[[folder:Berserkers]]

* HistoricalDomainCharacter: King Hrólf was actually a real-life Danish king in the 6th century.
* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: In actual Norse legend, not only was Hrólf already the legitimate king of Lejre, but the reason he killed Adils was because Adils killed his father and raped his mother.

A squirrel who runs up and down the world tree Yggdrasil to carry messages between its many different inhabitants. Atreus learns to summon him to find health and rage pickups... which, as indicated by how the skill's name is [[DeadpanSnarker Bitter Squirrel]], he's not happy about. In actually a shadow of the real Ratatoskr which the later disapproves of.

* TogetherInDeath: [[spoiler:At the end of the PS4 game, Atreus and Kratos spread her ashes over Jotunheim, finally reuniting her with her kin who'd died in Odin's purges and fulfilling the prophecy of the Guardian returning.]]

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Was near death when the resistance found her and most of them thought she was done for, except Freyr who nursed she back to health.

* MetaphoricallyTrue: [[spoiler: The Norns toy with Kratos by telling him that, upon learning that Heimdall's planning on murdering Atreus, Kratos will "do what you do best." Although The Norns told Kratos that he will kill Heimdall, they never mentioned the context of ''why'' Kratos would kill him: Heimdall would have to be put down in self-defense because he was too proud to accept mercy, was unrelentingly vicious in the fight, and would tell Kratos straight to his face that he'd kill Atreus as revenge for Kratos [[DontYouDarePityMe showing him mercy]]. Heimdall's death was the fate that his own choices were leading him towards because he lacked humility and made the choice to fight to the bitter end, and Kratos was just the consequence of Heimdall's pride and his own lack of foresight finally coming back to bite him.]]

* CuteMonsterGirl: Or, more specifically, Regal Monster Lady. She's obviously inhuman, but graceful and refined rather than hideous, with her cutscene being a moment of otherworldly wonder.
* DisapprovingLook: When she takes Kratos' blood since a blood of a god is required to finish the Draupnir Spear, Kratos' blood takes the form of the Omega symbol while giving this look. She then rearranges the blood and it forms the letter lambda, and uses it to finish the spear.
* EnigmaticEmpoweringEntity: She is a Celtic mermaid who dwells in a lake in Nidavellir, and forges divine weapons for those she deems worthy.
* TheFairFolk: Like Mimir and the Kelpie, she is a being of Celtic rather than Norse mythology.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: From what we see of her, she bears no malice towards Kratos and Brok, even showing joy while creating the spear for Kratos. That said she appears to completely disregard Brok's presence much to his chagrin, although Mimir quickly realizes why; [[spoiler:mermaids communicate through souls, and as Brok's soul is incomplete due to being revived by Sindri, she couldn't see him at all.]]
* OurMermaidsAreDifferent: She is a merrow, or Celtic mermaid, and appears more fishlike than human. She's also able to communicate with a person's soul, using this to judge their worthiness of the divine weapons she creates.

* AmbiguouslyBi: Can come onto Freya at one point yet also admires Kratos' figure and calls him handsome. Whether she means that in a teasing way or genuinely finds the God of War attractive is unknown.

* ButchLesbian: She comes on to Freya and is very obviously attracted to her by how she talks about upgrading her gear, and her working in a smithy (coupled with her overall demeanor) is very macho. Might be Butch Bisexual if her interest in Kratos is legitimate.

* WreckedWeapon: His greatsword is broken a third of the way from the tip.

* ColorMotif: Yellow. Her protection stave and the Guardian Shield she gives to Kratos are gold-colored and she uses yellow paint to mark things important to her, such as the trees she marked for her pyre, [[spoiler: the designs on the cliffs, and the image of Kratos where she painted over the final image of his shrine.]] She's also seen wearing a gold dress [[spoiler:in the Jotnar mural depicting her as the Guardian]].

* ColorMotif: Yellow. The markings she left both on the trees she wanted to be used in her funerary pyre and around the world to guide where Kratos and Atreus should go use yellow paint, the magic protection she made to hide the woods from outside threats emits a yellow glow, the Guardian Shield, that she gave as a gift to Kratos, is gold-colored,[[spoiler:and she wears a golden dress in her engraving seen on the walls of Jötunheim]]. This reverberates in Atreus' character design in ''Ragnarök'', with his yellow shirt representing his mother and his red arrows and piece of cloth on his waist representing his father.

* SheepInSheepsClothing: Faye is revealed to be [[spoiler:Laufey, Loki's mother, who will bring forth Ragnarök, and intended to name her son Loki as well, relenting due to Kratos's desire to honor his soldiers, and also put them in their journey to scatter her ashes in Jotunheim which put Kratos and Atreus facing off against several of the Norse pantheon, putting her real motivations into question. ''Ragnarök'' reveals while Faye used to be vengeful towards Odin and the Aesir, she never wanted Kratos and Atreus to destroy the Norse pantheon, believing Kratos to be a far better man that even he gave himself credit for, and Atreus to not end up serving Odin. She also painted over the murals depicting Ragnarök so that Kratos and Atreus make their own choices, and also painted a mural where Kratos has become a benevolent god worshipped by many.]]

* TogetherInDeath: [[spoiler:Though Faye's giant brethren had died long before she did, Kratos and Atreus spreading her ashes at the Giant's Fingers ensure that Faye will always be with her kind, and in death has finally fulfilled her purpose as "the guardian."]]

* BodyMotifs: Hands. Faye marked the trees she wished used for her funeral pyre by pressing her gold-painted palm against them, and the significance of this is made clear when [[spoiler:it's revealed she wished to have her ashes scattered from the peak of the Giant's Fingers, a hand-shaped mountain in Jötunheim. At the Giant's Fingers, Kratos and Atreus discover Faye's handprint at the final ridge they need to climb, revealing that Faye was responsible for carving in the golden marks directing father and son throughout their journey, having directed them on where to go from the very beginning.]]

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Faye was so kind, patient and altruistic that almost everyone who encountered her, even Kratos, remember her with nothing but affection, admiration and respect. [[spoiler: However, she was also a warrior skilled enough to stalemate Kratos when they first met. And as the eyewitnesses to her battle with Thor can attest, was capable of flying into an UnstoppableRage just as intense as those of her husband, if not more so.]]
