Hrimhari
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hrimhari is a fictional character and part of the Marvel Comics universe. He was first introduced in the New Mutants Special Edition #1.
A descendant of Fenris, Hrimhari is the Wolf Prince in the realm of Asgard. He presides over all wolves in the enchanted woods of that land, but retains a humble and gentile demeanor not normally associated with that of royalty. He has the ability to change his form from that of a Gray Wolf to a shape more resembling a werewolf from lore. He is highly respected by the people of Asgard, and is said to be a true friend of Hogun the Grim.
When the New Mutants were magically sent to Asgard, Wolfsbane met Hrimhari in a wood while being chased by giants. Immediately enchanted by her, Hrimhari saved Rahne and the two became almost inseparable. The god Loki managed to capture the two lovers and transformed them into more sinister versions of their werewolf forms under his servitude. Under these guises they were known as Grimfang and Bleakheart. They were eventually changed back to their original selves but were forced to be separated once Rahne returned to Earth. Rhane had wanted to be with Hrimhari more but to do so would force the other X-Men and New Mutants to stay behind also.
After this the death goddess Hela tried to take over Asgard. Part of her plan to conquer Asgard and kill a then-helpless Odin involved using the Wolves of the forest as her scouts and spies. Hrimhari fought Hela's armies for his people's freedom but he was eventually captured and prisoned. Through the link Danielle Moonstar held with the Valkyries the New Mutants discovered Hela's plan and rescued Hrimhari.
In the heat of battle and due to a mystical forcefield, Hrimhari was separated from the majority of the group, ending up with Meltdown and Warlock. They traveled across Asgard as a group, defeating new threats and meeting new allies. Hrimhari learned much of Earth during this time.
They attempted to warn the authorities of Hela's plan but Odin's guards thought they were agents of Loki and sent them to the dungeons. Volstagg's children managed to free them and they eventually joined in a huge battle against Hela's forces. When the battle had ended he was saddened to have to say goodbye to Rahne once again in her return to Earth.
