Biography[]
- "Ymir! This was the work of the Dark Elves, not Asgard! We seek not to fight with you this day."
"Whatever you sought...you found DEATH!" - ―Thor and Ymir[src]
The powerful Uru weapon the Bloodaxe was stolen by the Dark Elves during an attack on Nidavellir. It was taken to Jotunheim, where Heimdall sent Thor and Sif to recover it. The two Asgardians discovered the Dark Elves using the Bloodaxe as part of a ritual. Ymir was guarding it and wanted retribution for the Frost Giants that the Asgardians had killed, despite Thor's insistence that the Dark Elves were the ones at fault. They defeated him and went back to Asgard with the weapon in tow. Sif and Heimdall both mocked Thor for the fear he showed when Ymir emerged from the wastes.[1]
