You ruined everything. I earned that fucking hammer. But now everyone's gonna think I only got it 'cause Magni's gone. I'll be a joke. But if I kill you - no one's gonna laugh at me.
~ Modi to Kratos.

Modi is the secondary antagonist of the 2018's video game God of War and a minor antagonist in God of War Ragnarök: Valhalla. He is one of the sons of Thor and is one of the Æsir. He and his brother Magni were tasked by his grandfather, Odin to help Baldur, their uncle, in order to find Kratos and Atreus.

He is voiced by Nolan North, who also voiced Hades in 2005's God of War, Dr. Edward Richtofen in Call of Duty Zombies, The Penguin in Batman Arkham series, Martin Walker in Spec Ops: The Line, David in The Last of Us, and the Black Hand of Sauron in Middle-earth: Shadow of War.

Biography[]

God of War[]

When no one is looking, we'll be back for your other eye.
~ Modi threatened Mimir after refusing to assist them.

Modi first travels with his brother Magni and his uncle Baldur to enlist Mimir's aid in finding Kratos and Atreus. After Mimir promptly refuses to hold the three gods, Modi and Magni threaten to return later and steal Mimir's other eye when no one is looking.

Later, Modi and Magni search for Kratos and Atreus near Thamur's corpse, eventually discovering them while the two were trying to obtain a piece of Thamur's chisel. When Magni discovers the two, Kratos defies Magni's order to surrender. When Kratos tells Atreus to run, the latter is ambushed by Modi, who is amused to see (to him at least) a mere child with a bow threatening him, this leads to a fight breaking out. During the battle, Magni frequently mocks and taunts Atreus, especially towards his recently deceased mother. After a fierce, violent struggle, Kratos manages to overwhelm and kill Magni, prompting Modi to flee in abject terror as Atreus fired arrows at him in rage.

Modi later attempted to kill Kratos and Atreus at Tyr's Temple through an ambush. As he begins electrocuting Kratos, he furiously proclaims that Kratos ruined everything and that he'll only get Mjölnir by default because of Magni's death, showing his inferiority complex of living under his much stronger and revered brother's shadow. However, after Atreus falls into a coma because of his attempt to use Spartan's Rage, Modi is quickly overpowered and struck down by an enraged Kratos, forcing him to flee and run away again.

Thor... Blame me... ME... for what you did to Magni. My own father called me a coward...
~ Modi to Kratos and Atreus after he got beaten up by Thor.

Following this, Modi fled back to Asgard, where Thor blamed him for Magni's death and severely beat him for his cowardice. Later, a bloodied Modi attempted to confront Kratos and Atreus again when the two were inside the mountain but was too badly injured to do anything. Kratos saw no reason to kill him as he had already been beaten, but after Modi's particularly vulgar insult towards Atreus' mother, Faye, Atreus stabs Modi in the neck and kicks him into the chasm, killing him.

Personality[]

That's what I said to your mother... Right before I gave it to her.
~ Modi's last words before killed by Atreus.

Modi, like most of the Æsir, was a cruel, arrogant and sadistic individual, threatening Mimir with torture after the God of Knowledge refused to aid in the hunt for Kratos and Atreus.

However, unlike the other Æsir Gods (seen so far), such as Baldur and his brother Magni, Modi is a spineless coward, preferring either opponents weaker than himself, mainly Atreus, or ambushing them from behind, like he does with Kratos, unlike Magni, who was eager for a challenge.

Modi was extremely obsessed making his father proud of him, more so than his brother, due to being looked down on all his life in favor of his brother's accomplishments. After Magni's death, Modi was consumed with the paranoia of being seen as a joke by his fellow Gods, prompting him to continue hunting Kratos alone using cowardly tactics just to prove himself to his father. Despite the bitter rivalry however, Modi and Magni were extremely close with one another, as after the latter was slain by Kratos, Modi was overcome with horror and swore vengeance upon him.

Modi was noted as a fool by others, such as the Æsir, Baldur, Mimir, Kratos and Sindri, who called him and Magni as Thor's idiot sons, due to relying on brute force than anything else. This was shown when after being brutally beaten and has been called a coward by his own father, Modi still had the gall to threaten Kratos and Atreus despite being completely at their mercy, and continued to insult them, which finally led to his death.

Trivia[]

  • Ironically enough, while in real life mythology, Modi, along with his brother, were destined to be one of the few survivors of Ragnarök, and both would go on to dual-wield Thor's hammer. While in the game, the two never even made it to see Ragnarök's beginning, and neither earned the right to wield the hammer.
    • These factors are referenced in the game itself. After Magni's death Modi asks Kratos "How did you?" indicating the brothers were aware of their supposed destinies to survive Ragnarök. When Modi attempts to kill Kratos, he says "I earned that fucking hammer" indicating they were competing to earn Thor's hammer.
  • Modi (Móði) ironically means “Courage“. In reality, Modi is a pathetic coward who prefers to fight weaker opponents i.e., children, e.g., Atreus and flees when the tables are turned, and the odds aren't in his favor anymore such as when Kratos killed his older brother.
    • Coincidentally, in Norse Mythology, Magni and Modi were deliberately named as such because they were meant to embody their father's features. Even more ironically, his own father Thor called Modi a coward and consequently severely beat him for running away and failing to save his older brother and Thor’s favored son.
