78 The reveal establishes Faye as the Golden Hand of the Jotnar, the most powerful protector of the Giants, and a legendary warrior and leader whose impact was felt across the Nine Realms long before she ever met Kratos. As the Golden Hand of the Jotnar she has proven equal to even the likes of Thor, one of the strongest gods in the Nine Realms. In the Norse-era games, the Leviathan Axe was originally hers before it passed to Kratos. In the earlier Norse-era games she was known only after her death, as the guiding force behind the journey of Kratos and Atreus; Laufey makes her a playable lead for the first time.
