Biography
Magni and Modi were summoned by their grandfather Odin and ordered to aid Baldur in his hunt for Kratos, after the former's failed first encounter with the legendary Greek god. They first visited imprisoned ambassador of the Norse gods, Mimir, seeking to know Kratos's location and how to deal with him. Unfortunately for them, Mimir doesn't know Kratos's location, and refuses to help them any further, even after Baldur promises to put a good word for him when returning to Odin. Before leaving, Magni threatens to rip out Mirmir's other eye when no one is looking.

They both continue their search for Kratos and track him down to Thamur's, a frost giant killed by Thor, corpse. They discovered the corpse when Kratos and his son Atreus had used  the giant's hammer to break through the ice to get his chisel. Magni eventually finds Kratos and Atreus when he drops to the ground from above while killing an ogre. Tossing the beast's corpse aside, he orders the pair to surrender under Odin's orders, and when Kratos promptly refuses, Magni eagerly draws his sword for a fight. Following a vicious battle between Magni, Modi and Kratos and Atreus, Kratos is able to overpowert Magni and split his head open with the Leviathan Axe, killing him.
