====Aesir====
The Norse pantheon, torn between their knowledge that Ragnarok is unavoidable and their drive to defy their fates. During World War II, they participated on behalf of the Germans after a plan crafted by Loki. Their gods include: 

*'''Baldur''': God of love, beauty, peace, and the sun. The most beloved of the Aesir, and his fated death will be one of the signs that Ragnarok is drawing near. 
*'''Freya''': Goddess of fertility, love, lust, and war. She can be covetous and cruel at times, yet forgiving and merciful at others. 
*'''Freyr''': God of fertility and prosperity. He watches over all plant life and is said to have defeated an entire army with only a stag's antler. 
*'''Frigg''': Goddess of marriage and destiny. She says little, but sees far more than she lets on.
*'''Heimdall''': God of perception and watchman of the gods. Able to hear grass growing on the other side of the Earth, and sleeps less than a bird. 
*'''Hel''': Goddess of the realm of the dead. Her hideous appearance- half-flesh, half-rotten corpse- is a fitting match for her grim and morbid demeanor. 
*'''Loki''': God of trickery and fire. Though he will ultimately betray the Aesir, his cunning has saved them from trouble as many times as it has gotten them into it.
*'''Njord''': God of the sea and the winds. Originally sent to the Aesir as part of a hostage exchange with the Vanir while those pantheons were at war. 
*'''Odin''': God of wisdom, the dead, and magic. The Allfather, who is ready to make any sacrifice to gain greater wisdom and once hung himself for nine days to learn the secrets of the runes.
*'''Sif''': Goddess of the harvest. The wife of Thor and the peacemaker of the Aesir. 
*'''Skadi''': Goddess of winter and the hunt. A frost giant who gained divinity and marriage to Njord as the blood-price for her father's death, though they separated after finding they could not tolerate each other's preferred dwellings. 
*'''Thor''': God of thunder, rain, and crops. The mightiest warrior of the Aesir, his hammer Mjolnir is the strongest weapon ever made.
*'''Tyr''': God of courage and justice. When the monstrous wolf Fenrir was to be bound with dwarf-forged chains, he alone agreed to its demand that one of the Aesir first put a hand in its mouth; though it bit Tyr's hand off when it realized the chains were unbreakable, he did not complain.
